A long time ago I had got my engineer to Vice admiral, I had boutght my first retrofit ship and wanted to try out things. Well I had wandered into the warzone and found myself dying in seconds. Since then I have never touched PVP ever again.

So looking back, I want to learn a few things- like what do I need to do in PVP. What does a engineer bring to the table and how to actually fight and win against KDF cloakers whith builds that practically one shot.

Also a Question of what do feds bring to the table in PVP I know the KDF has cloaking and Flanking as their advantages, but what do feds have as theirs?

Yeah it is n00b questions time, but I want to try to discet my bad experience and come out a bit more knowelegable rather than:

OMG Plz Nerf KDF HAXXORS !!!!!!11111oneoneeleven

    PvP boot camp is an excellent player run platform to learn the in's & outs of PvP in lessons taught by Vets in a TeamSpeak ingame play format that has both novice and more experienced classes.
    Its been around a.while now.

    1.) Spend some time coming to understand the synergy between your ship selection + build + doffs. Getting the right mix is important.

    2.) Cycle your abilities even when you are not in combat. I use keybinds and I cycle them constantly. If you would like to know how to setup binds check out the Boot Camp Companion Guides.

    3.) Always run a high defense power setting + Shield Frequency Modulation cruiser command when you are not in combat. Once you engage switch out into high offensive power settings + Weapon System Efficiency.

    4.) Keep 1x or 2x "Safety" abilities readily at hand as a last minute stop-gap if you have crucial abilities on CD. Examples RSP, EptE, etc.

    5.) Think about anti-cloak technologies that you can employ e.g. Mines, EWP, TB.

    6.) Pay attention to and familiarise yourself with the sound of an Alpha. You will hear them coming I promise you.

    Hope that helps some :)

    And always, be sure to check out this awesome thread.
