I am curious why you want to do it solo instead of doing it with friends? Sky Captain of Your Heart Reddit: lyris_nairn Skype: lyris.nairn Twitter: @lyris_nairn

I am sure you can find US tz corps down in the South, too. Why not look into joining a nullsec corp? Sky Captain of Your Heart Reddit: lyris_nairn Skype: lyris.nairn Twitter: @lyris_nairn

I don't understand, you're saying you can't make friends to fly with because other people don't play at the same time of day as you?

When you go out in space, take a look at all those people out there. They play at the same time as you. If you have potential targets you also have potential allies.

Click OP's name under his avatar. He's in a corp (in FA).

Why not go roam with someone else from your alliance, or a friendly alliance?

Solo bible

Basically just read that entire thread, then buy a stack of whatever ships you decide to use and go forth into the night.

IMO at least, it's not worth going out with a stack of rifters or whatnot anymore unless you're in an area that sees lots of T1 frigs flying around( FW areas and TESTland come to mind). MWD armor thrashers, taranises, and ruptures are probably a good starting point for someone with limited skills.

Good luck!

OP, you should get on Goonswarm jabber and keep an eye out for broadcasts. We have fleets going pretty much all the time during US time zones.

Fly in something engageable.. good tech 2 frig will find you actual fights.. try maybe sb for more control of your fights of when at least..

Bubble camps in neutralized traffic areas.. where a lot of capsuleers travel and there are mixed ties.. counts down on chance of you being bobbed and allows for you to vulture in on some neut on nuet action if ya feeling ballsy.. that tactics best in sb.. learn what i mean from there.

I don't know what the Scimi is for but if ya thinkin of taken that I'd think again.

First thing we need to discus is your treachery and blasphemy, this level of heresy is uncalled for, you sir are a demon.

Goons pride themselves on out ganking anyone. Stop this selfishness now!
You deserve to be trolled like the anarchist you are. Fiend.

If you do insist on this line of debauchery, it's as simple as picking your targets.

For example, I tried 1v1 against a Cynabal sat inside a Bomber yesterday, I lost, quite quickly.

A little time before this I 1v1'ed a Noctice, in the very same Bomber, I won admirably.

Getting you on your feet.

So you've further to fall.

What I am trying to say is that nothing related to EVE Online or any of the other games I play with goons makes me proud or ashamed; in fact, I feel that people who feel pride or shame as a result of online video games deserve to be mocked.

LET ME TELL YOU HOW IMPORTANT I AM IN EVE ONLINE OKAY I AM AN INTERNET SPACESHIP ADMIRAL LISTEN TO ME
