Effective PvP in EVE is about more than just DPS. It involves understanding engagement profiles, target prioritization, electronic warfare, and fleet synergy. Learn to 'read' the battlefield, identify primary targets (logistics, tackle, high-DPS), and coordinate with your fleet. Fleet compositions often include a mix of damage dealers, tacklers (warp scramblers/disruptors), electronic warfare ships, and logistics (remote repair). Practice 'manual piloting' to dodge incoming fire. Always have a clear objective and an exit strategy. Don't be afraid to lose ships; it's part of the learning process.
