Guess what? Solo players ARE the majority in EVE.

That is a waste of time. You better stay in hisec, mine scordite like there's no tomorrow and sell in the nearest hub (which may be just 1 jump away). Just traveling in and out of lowsec will kill your ISK/hour, period.

(Admiteddly I haven't undocked since October so I don't know how well performs the Venture, but being 5000 m3, i'm sure that it will fill up faster = more time wasted in travel + additional chances to be smartbombed at a hi<->lo gate. And no matter how free it is, you still will have to fit it for lowsec)


Aw come on, where is your spirit of adventure?

And besides, you meet the most interesting people in low sec. Pirate And this is the weird part... after they blow up your ship, some of them will even give you advice on how to be better prepaired next time.

There is nothing interesting in Low Sec. I've been there. There isn't much of anything in Low Sec except people who can't make it in Null. I've been there, too.

I would be willing to bet that you have never given or received advice on ship fits after losing one, or killing one. Another urban myth.

Bottom line is there are two possible interpretations of 'GF'. Think about it.

Seriously? You've never blown someone up, seen their fit, and been like... 'That poor guy needs help. I'm going to deposit some good karma with the Universe and offer some advice. Maybe make a new friend'.

It's like you live your life as a solo EVE player... hmm... what was the name of this thread again?

This right here, man. I blew up some poor sap, told them how to save their pod after not podding them, and then sent them 10 mil for another frigate or two. They were pretty awesome with the whole thing, too. Sometimes you meet some chill people flying solo low-sec and you hope they blow you up next time because revenge is ******* awesome. It's not some "urban myth".

Anyway, you can play the game however you ******* want, but you're not some special god-damned snowflake because you're flying solo. The beauty of a "multiplayer sandbox" is that it's multiplayer. You can't escape interaction with other people unless you log off.

CCP has no sense of humour.

Excellent post, I agree with just everything. But you will still have the people with a short attention span saying crap like "But this is meant to be a team game"...

And neither are you just because you are in another boring run of the mill corp...

The only ships I blow up are Concord red. No. I don't want the pilot as a friend. No. I don't want to help him improve his fit.
