Curator ship review!

If you would like assistance in optimizing your ship for PvP, send one of our curators a request, and they might be able to help you! Attach a screenshot of your statistics panel and a screenshot of your ship, and, if you’d like, a .epb so that the curator can look at your ship.

We will then send you some feedback on what you might be able to improve.
We can also tell you if it is currently PvP worthy.
Always remember curators are busy players too! We might not reply for a few hours or days.

Sidenote: Please remember that sending any player an .epb means you are giving them access to your blueprints, always send them to trusted community members or people you know!

The PvP Guide is receiving an overhaul!

That’s right, in the next coming days you’ll find posts being edited & completely overhauled. But that’s not all! Curators of the guide will be collecting ingame information… That means you have a chance to shoot at them! Watch out for myself and many others sneaking around testing things live on the NA server!

Some things we’ll be doing:
CV Armor testing!
SV Lagshot testing!
Everything to do with BAs!
Catch us in homeworld, black hole, and others! We’ll probably announce a test in the chat to encourage subjects willing participants to join!

Hello everyone!
A little update for all of you eager pilots out there!

Due to Eloen’s changes in patch 10.6, this guide will need an entire overhaul once again to remain updated. So it has been decided to cancel any updates until the new thrust and CPU mechanics make themselves clear.

This also coincides with the continued balance changes HWS is making. (and will no doubt make for patch 10.6’s mechanic overhaul too.)

Once patch 10.6 comes out, I will be livestreaming a launch-day investigation of PvP in the new meta. If you’d like to come along and see some of the work we curators do in the background, stay tuned for twitch links on the day!

Regards,
Zackey.
