So ive just come back to take a look at things after a long break. I used to be a "solo" pvp pilot with an off grid booster.
Seeing as they have removed that ability what am i to do now?, how do people solo without those boosts?
Would it be worth investing in getting a T3 destroyer for solo now? Or what?

Bad news is. No more solo pvp boosts.
Good news is. They don't have them either.

Fair point to that i suppose XD
Unless they use an ongrid Destroyer boost.
Im curious if the hecate is worth messing around with in solo pvp.
I come from mostly soloing in an incurses my gunnery skills are pretty much all maxed, infact most of my frigate skills are maxed out.

Same as always. Show up in a bigger ship with more firepower.

I believe this is called a first-world problem. You've used a luxury for so long that you don't know how to do without it anymore.

Boosts were never mandatory, you PVP exactly as you did before. You find a ship, point it, and try to kill it before it kills you. You just don't have boosts unless your booster is on-grid.

Same as always OP, just find a target and hit F1. Or, if you're a hipster (like me) F2. Cool

Buy one and try it. Worst that can happen is you die.

How do you call link-sec without links?

Go kill nullbears in deep 0.0, only links people have there are mining links. And since you have a trained alt, use it for scouting for maximum combat probing efficiency and blob avoidance.
