It all depends on what you call Solo pvp. Running around in one ship, using one account to fight which is true solo ya thats pretty much dead. The "new solo" is two accounts one booster and one pvp ship that is much more common. And if OGB is never changed that will remain the "new solo" and for good reason.

I guess people don't solo with two falcons and 5 neutral reppers any more.

Let me fix that for you" I guess people don't run multi - accounts with two falcons and 5 neutral reppers any more". The word solo was clearly misplaced.

Didn't the legend of Garmon begin with him "soloing" all kinds of stuff off the sweat of a boosting loki?

And if you go back up to my first post you will see "The "new solo" is two accounts one booster and one pvp ship that is much more common. And if OGB is never changed that will remain the "new solo" and for good reason."

Solo PvP is dead when you treat it like a sport.

Soloers aren't made in EFT any more they're made in a laboratory along with their blue pills and crystal sets.

Solo ain't dead; fighting the blob is dead.


I think I remember reading this exact thread back in 2007, it's depressing how little the game and the players have changed.

Get an actual goal in Eve other than PvP and you'll probably be much happier...

Also, in before "says the guy in RvB! Wah wah wah..." yes I am in RvB - suck it; a man's gotta eat.

To be fair, not everyone is lucky enough to have the Solo Channel...so quit rubbing it in. Blink

I seriously don't know what you're referring to. Something about RvB is my best guess. Do we have a "solo" channel?

So is sucking at it, but no one is calling you on it.

'Solo is dead', and 'there's no pvp beside blobs' is a lie indies and bears use, to make themselves feel better. Cause they're too affraid of losing ships and too lazy to learn how not to.

someone's been to eve uni blob ops for too long.

1v1s are not extinct, they're just hidden away where blobs don't bother to look, and never will.

Not even going to read a stupid article about something EVE was never intended for.

Solo PvP has ALWAYS been dead. This is a massive multiplayer game, always has been. Not 1v1 deathmatch, never will be.

For those of you who don't get it. MMO stands for Massive Multiplayer Online. Massive does not mean 2.



Not everyone wants to be a l33t POS shooter like you.

MMO = as a solo player everyone's out to get your arse, which some find more fun than guaranteed kills on their board from a boring as all hell evening of shooting POS modules.

I guess your time in the game doesn't mean you keep up on your own corp happenings.

But yes, though it's along the lines of pre-arranged 1v1...I forget the name. It will be on the forum or ask around.

My comment was giving props to the setup. It's a pretty cool deal, really.

When people say they want to solo pve, everyone points out this is a MMO.


With Eve its not really that its an MMO, its the lack of "end game" stats. There is no level 85 + Sword of a thousand truths. Only people who have an advantage in solo PvP want to solo PvP.

It works the same for fleet PvP, its just easier to gain the advantage with a fleet than a single pilot.

are serious business sir.

In general, I've found that most people will not engage me when I go suspect. When people do, I usually get decent solo fights. I guess it might be the fact I'm a member of Rebirth and people expect the logistics, I don't know. I know that last night in Rens, two of our pilots got some awesome 1v1 assault frigate fights. Good times had by all.

Leadership is something you learn. Maybe one day, you'll learn that.

As for the OP. Solo doesn't involve links and remote reps which this pilot uses. What was the point of this thread?


Remote reps would explain his extraordinary luck. Did Jester misreport this fight?


You can see it received over 15k raw hp damage. Normal Arbi's of that fitting have about 10k raw hp. So either it was repped, or it got a 50% raw hp boost from another source.

Only people from 2003/04 would recognize Farjung's name and remember his slaved up Mega/Vindi blaster boats of doom.

It was fun flying with him during early BoB days...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Titans on fire outside "The Alamo" of NOL-M9. I watched massive Super Capital fleets glitter in the dark near the BKG-Q2 gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain...  Time to die.
