ANNOUNCING: Frigate Free For All

On Saturday May 23rd, A Band Apart in association with Streamfleet, will be holding a FFA: Frigate Free For All in Ouelletta. Open to all players young and old, the FFA will feature 4,000 FREE Frigates to be handed out to participants during the four hours of the event, as well as very special event "events" to be announced in the coming weeks. Not to mention prizes!

"The FFA was terrific, This was the best time I ever had in eve." - Saki

These events are huge, you can see the results from our last one in that image above. But it is also the perfect place for any player, no matter what you do in-game or your experience level, to get a taste for PvP in as safe and friendly an environment that you can find in New Eden. The ships are FREE. All the fights will be between Frigates and we'll even have some places for you to get on bigger ship killmails along the way.

More details will be announced as we get closer to the date, but be sure to mark your calendars now …

PRESS RELEASE: FFA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE This Saturday, May 23rd, A Band Apart will be hosting their fifth Frigate Free For All (FFA) in Ouelletta, Verge Vendor, from 16:00-20:00 Eve time. 4,000 Frigates will be available for FREE to all participants in the Federal Navy Academy station at Planet V Moon V.
“The free Frigates will be fit so that anyone, no matter their skill level or experience, can fly one and enjoy a fun environment of friendly combat,” said Rixx Javix, Executor of A Band Apart alliance and host of the event, “this is still Eve of course, but this is as safe of an environment as we can provide.” The last FFA saw 2,000 players take to space and resulted in over 45,000 explosions over the entire afternoon, “The red dot on the New Eden map was huge!”, Javix said.
During the course of the event on Saturday special events will be announced in local, giving pilots a chance to score valuable kills and loot - all provided by pilots in ABA. “We have some special ships our pilots are planning on b…

Why You Should Fly in the FFA

On Saturday between the hours of 16:00 and 20:00 thousands of ships will be exploded in Ouelletta during the ABA Frigate Free for All. But why should you come to the event?
This is your chance! Within the context of Eve the tables are often skewed against you. You know exactly what I am talking about. You're young, you like to focus on mining, industry, staying out of trouble...whatever it is you enjoy doing in Eve. This is your chance to let your hair down and have some pew pew fun. All with a minimum of risk.
And while I'd be the last person to tell you it is going to be perfectly safe, within the normal context of Eve, the FFA is at least balanced in your favor. It is as close as you can get to a fair shake in this game. For a few hours you'll be on the field with other players in the same kind of ships, with the same kind of skills, doing the same kind of things. Nothing is "fair" in this universe, but this is as close as it can get for a brief moment in time.

End of Days

I've noticed lately that I tend to lose a ship at the end of the day in Eve a lot. I hate leaving my sessions with red on my killboard, but it is surprising how often that is happening. So, like anything else, it caused me to stop and consider why that might be so. What is it and why does it keep happening?

6 out of the last 8 days, not counting Saturday's Rifter FFA, I ended on a loss. So let's take a look at them and see if we can spot a trend. Or come to some conclusions.

Tristan vs Dragoon
Obviously I should never attack a Dragoon with a Tristan. I will say that I was flying with a Dramiel at the time as my wingman. But obviously 12 jumps without any action will cause you to take increasingly risky risks. I picked a Tristan for the roam because I hadn't flown one in a long time, but I admit I'm having trouble finding a role for the little ship. I used to fly them a lot, but they seem to have lost something in the past few months.

Retribution vs Phantasm
Ok this …

Yarrr Astero

Flying counter to traditional or common wisdom is one of the greatest weapons a Pirate in Eve has in their toolbox. The Battle Venture waiting in a belt. The heavily tanked Nereus with full neuts. The examples go on and on, fitting a ship counter to what is expected can often lead to victory in dangerous circumstances. Or embarrassing loss. The difference between those two outcomes can often be razor thin. Commit too far to one side or the other and the bold "hold my beer" moment can quickly become something you'd rather bury in your killboard.
Since the introduction of the Astero Stay Frosty pilots have been quick to adopt the little explorer Frigate as a platform for counter fitting. It is the perfect platform for it. The ship is built for scanning and exploring, and I suppose it is good for those things. I can't say because I've never fit one for that. We use the little white ship for combat. Back in the early days (2013) I detailed my first week running the …
