But the players who love the game have also made a lot of useful websites and software that will improve your gaming experience. In this post I list 8 of the best EVE third party tools, most of which I use regularly. Pyfa Python Fitting Assistant, or Pyfa as it's called is a software program available for Windows, Linux and Mac computers that can be used to create ship and citadel fittings.

But PVP is not always so easy, especially solo PVP as a new player, because older players have much more skillpoints, ISK and experience.  Here are some tips how you can get started with PVP in EVE.

There are a few groups that regularly host these kind of fleets. #1 Spectre Fleet One of these groups is Spectre Fleet, they host a variety of sub-capital ship fleets in null...
