This was an April Fools announcement. Sorry!

Class will be Saturday, April 26 at 16:00 eve time lasting approx 2 hours, with the roam starting immediately afterwards.

PVP-Drakeswarm

As many of you know, Agony has recently been spending some time in the north flying with the NC, during which time we've had the opportunity to explore some new gang types designed for larger groups. As a result of this, I present you with a new class!

Right now we're planning to run this as a one-off to see how well it works out. If it's successful, we'll hopefully make it a more regular thing. What's more, the first run of this class is open to everybody (even those who haven't taken PVP-BASIC) and is COMPLETELY FREE!

The Concept

Drakes are the best ships in Eve right now. The combination of insane tank, good range, and the awesome dps makes them incredibly effective. Not only this, but almost everybody can fly one (both in terms of character skills and player skill) and a PVE-fit drake actually requires almost no modification to turn it into an effective PVP beast, meaning it's really easy to get a fleet of them together on short notice!

This class will comprise a short theory session focusing around the Drake as a ship class, fitting, and it's application in a PVP fleet. This will be followed by a roam, during which we will be joining forces with one or more of the NC alliances resident in the area who are blue to Agony to give you all an idea of how an experienced large fleet FC operates.

How To Enroll

Processing enrollment takes a decent amount of time that instructors would rather be spending doing something else such as actually playing the game. When students try to be individualistic, creative or are just lazy, it makes more work for the instructors and they tend to get cranky. For this reason IMPROPER ENROLLMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!! In order to enroll properly, please click on the following link and read the article carefully before adding your pilot to the enrollment thread.

Course Details

  • Required Equipment: See fits below
  • Cost: FREE!
  • Required Courses: None!
  • Course Code: DRAKESWARM-20110426

  • Instructor: Azual
  • Fleet Commander: Chrissy
  • Maximum Enrollment: 30
  • Enrollment Deadline: 7 Days before the start of the course.

Make sure you are prepared for the course and have arrived ahead of time. Instructors will not wait for late or unprepared students. Instructors will assume you have read the materials and if you haven't you will be lost very quickly.

Follow the following pattern to enroll:

AGONY_SITE_DISPLAY_NAME - PILOT NAME (CORP TICKER)


For Example

Bamar - Christina Bamar (AGONY)


If you chose to be creative, sloppy, use different brackets, put in your pilot name twice or anything else like that we will not process your enrollment and you will have to try again.

Recommended Fits

Obviously, this is a Drakes only gang. Logistics and other support roles will be filled by Agony pilots and our NC allies. If you can't fly a drake, other BCs or BS are viable as long as they are Shield Tanked, fit a MWD and can hit at over 70km. Missile ships are preffered.

All Drakes should fit a MWD and at fit for least 100k EHP. Please fit Heavy missiles not HAMs (you should bring both EM and Explosive missiles). At least 1 sensor booster is recommended (ideally 2), since targets will be dying quickly against a fleet of this size and it's important to get on as many killmails as possible. See the fit below as an example:

[Drake, Drake Swarm]
Damage Control I
Ballistic Control System II
Ballistic Control System II
Reactor Control Unit I

Y-T8 Overcharged Hydrocarbon I Microwarpdrive
Large Shield Extender II
Large Shield Extender II
Invulnerability Field II
Sensor Booster II, Scan Resolution
Sensor Booster II, Scan Resolution

Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Caldari Navy Havoc Heavy Missile
Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Caldari Navy Havoc Heavy Missile
Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Caldari Navy Havoc Heavy Missile
Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Caldari Navy Havoc Heavy Missile
Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Caldari Navy Havoc Heavy Missile
Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Caldari Navy Havoc Heavy Missile
Advanced 'Limos' Heavy Missile Bay I, Caldari Navy Havoc Heavy Missile
Salvager I

Egress Port Maximizer I
Medium Core Defence Field Purger I
Medium Core Defence Field Purger I


Warrior TP-300 x5




If you have good fitting skills, you may not need the RCU. The salvager is for looting after the battle (or during if you're really great at multitasking!) - alternatively you can fit an (offline) cloak in this slot - this will allow you to cloak up if you get separated from the fleet, or if we get camped in by a gang which is bigger than we are.

AkJon Ferguson - JC Ferguson (FNA*) LOL Azual keeps changing the fit. I guess I'll hold my critique until he's done. (Though I can't imagine the current fit gets you anywhere close to 100k EHP.) Edit: (before confirmation but while others radar has gone off) Oh crap, good April Fool's joke Az. (It's still March 31 here, so my detector was off.) Chrissy is an AWESOME FC, please let this be real!
