EVE:Base Camp Training
The Base Camp training plans are recommended plans for members new to EVE Online, and members starting new alts. While they are not mandatory, they are highly recommended.
We view the path to advanced ships in EVE as a large mountain. As a climber, you aren't going to begin your ascent immediately after you've arrived at the base of the mountain. First, you will set up a base camp. From there, you will assess your situation, scope out the environment, and perhaps make a few trial starts before you begin your climb in earnest. We believe a new member's skill plan should be approached in a similar manner.
The plans are broken into three tiers: Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. Alpha plans are focused on T1 frigates. Bravo plans introduce destroyers and T2 frigates. Charlie plans advance to cruisers.
Another important point is: there is no reason you can't train more than one plan before moving on to the next tier. One of the most frequent mistakes made by new players is rushing through a training plan towards a single, big ship and neglecting the "breadth" of their training.
The goals of these plans are as follows.
- Get new members into decent ships within a week.
- Give members a taste of a wide variety of fleet roles.
Of course, this deviates from the TEST 3.0 Training Guide. But we feel it is more important to allow more flexibility in the first few tiers of training even if the time to reach end goals is extended.
Conventions
The following details are given for each plan.
- Training plan XML. We have chosen to distribute all the plans as XML instead of EMP files. The XML format is easier for us to work with and can be used with applications other than EVEMon.
- Each ship loadout has a unique tag, this will be the name used for a fitted hull in the common hangar.
Base Camp Alpha
These plans are relatively short but effective at getting you into basic fits for each of the roles listed below. Nothing super advanced, just getting into ships and going out into space.
- Base Camp Alpha Minuteman - Faction Warfare specific plans and ship fittings.
- Base Camp Alpha Cavalry - Line Combat Ships, Land after the Tacklers and get secondary tackle while putting good damage on the target
- Base Camp Alpha EWAR - Tech Specialist, Set out at your optimal range and use your special moduals to make it so that the target can not lock your friends
- Base Camp Alpha Logistics - Space Preist, Space healer best healer
- Base Camp Alpha Prober - Non combat role, Find where your enemies are hiding in space scanning systems with special probes.
- Base Camp Alpha Tackler - Fast Tackle, get in close and lock the enemy down until the Cavalry and other ships can get on the field.
Base Camp Bravo
Base Camp Bravo has longer skill plans but for good reason, fitting skills are added to these skill plans to set you up for Base Camp Charlie where the ships will have higher powergrid and CPU demands.
- Base Camp Bravo Cavalry - Heavy Line Combat Ships, Like Alpha Cavalry ships but with more HP and firepower
- Base Camp Bravo Utility - Non Combat role, Better skill at using probing ship along with the ability to salvage and do exploration sites as well.
