Looking to try PVP? Why not come out to a FUNny Newbro fleet and give it a go! Anyone can attend from an hour old character to pilots who’ve played since the game was launched!
What is the FUNny Newbro PVP Fleet?
The FUNny Newbro PVP fleet is a safe place for pilots of all skill levels to come out and try NPSI PVP.
This fleet was started by Kshal Aideron and Scopique in late 2020 as part as an initiative to get newer players involved in PVP. Both pilots are members of NPSI corporation FUN Inc and these fleets are generally hosted on the FUN Inc discord.
Before the fleet sets out to Null Sec, the FCs will give PVP 101 which goes over most of the things FCs say while FCing a pvp fleet. Everyone gets to undock and try to follow the commands!
Who Can Come on the FUNny Newbro Roam?
Anyone! This is the perfect place for beginners to begin developing fleet PVP skills. As the player progresses, they may wish to start trying fleet roles. That includes FCing! Just let Kshal or Scopique know ahead of time you wish to give FCing a go!
A lot of new players think they need to reach a certain skill level to try PVPing (there is no perfect skill level). Or they think that they’ll somehow mess up and compromise the fleet (you can’t in this one). In fact, we have ship handouts and SRP (ship replacement program) so you don’t even have to risk your own assets!

FUNny Newbro Ship Doctrine
It’s really simple. This is a kitchen sink Destroyer and Frigate fleet. We do tend to brawl, but long range could be useful to lock up and get damage on targets when they’re at a longer distance away!
The only thing you’ll want to make sure is that you have an EWAR module. EWAR stands for electronic warfare and EWAR modules are as follows:
- Scram
- Warp Disrupt
- Web
- Damp
- Paint
If you want to fly with a jam, ask for a Griffin. Word has it Kshal has tons of them!
Come out, fly, have fun! If you have any questions, you can hit up Kshal or Scopique in game or on the FUN Inc/Eve Rookies Discords!
