Warfare & Tactics

This depends on the shiptype you fly, don't you think ? There will be a difference between flying around in a ceptor and picking the fights you like or flying around solo in a torpedo raven.

Numbers wise it can take a bit of practice before you win more than you lose.

Keep your ships cheap and eventually you will kill something shiny enough to balance out kill loss isk ratios.

Key is to know your ships. Your own and your enemies. They need to think they can win you need to know you have a fair chance of beating them.

Cannot do much about camps, blobs and OGB although that is not as common as people say it is.

If you want to be a successful solo PvPer you should stick to one area and get to know the locals in the immediate and surrounding areas really well. EvE is a game of knowledge and if you want to win a lot of fights then you need to know what every ship is capable of and how they are usually fit as well as the role of the ship you're flying and what it's strengths/weaknesses are. This comes with experience so get out there and take every fight you can find.

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=God%27s+Apples#kills <- my KB just so you know I have an idea of what I'm talking about. The majority of my kills are solo all without links and I manage to pull of a 3.5:1 K/D and a 73:1 K/D (I don['t know how this happened) this week.

Hope this helps.

You know, if you are going to troll the Gallente militia you might not want to use "The best ship is friendship" line which came from a Caldari FC :)

If i were to make an alt to troll the forums it would be "Fatgris". Chatgris's overweight twin sister that sucks at PvP (the weight issue comes from an inferiority complex so emotional eating ensues). Much flying of terribad gallente ships would happen on this alt to further the persona.

I didn't mean to imply that he was your alt, I know it's Sean Parisi's.

But that is a hilarious troll alt idea though :)

I mainl fly around in t1 frigs and dessies in LS and manage to come to around 1 kill for every 2 losses, BUT around 40%-50% of my losses are actually pod losses because I am too lazy to warp my pod all the way back home, as it only costs 200k isk at the moment. So generally I have the choice between letting them get my pod and be home instantly or warping out and selfdestructing which takes 2 minutes.
Lately I have started to try and get my pod out as it bothers me a little that my K/D ratio is so skewed.
Isk wise, I usually destroy four times as much as I loose.
Most of my kills are from 1v1s whereas only a small part of my losses is in 1v1s. My connection is pretty bad and I would say (without checking the actual numbers, just from very subjective feeling) that 40% of my actual ship losses are from me picking a fight that I knew was not a good idea, but I had roamed so long that I was getting bored. 40% are from blobs/Camps/ogb that I could not avoid. 10% are from actual fair 1v1s where the other person was just better or had the better fit and another 10% due to me loosing connection in the middle of a fight.
I am pretty sure that my K/D could get a lot better if I stopped engaging in situations where I know it is not a good idea, however a lot of the best fights that I had only occured because I decided to engage even though I thought I would have no chance.
I will gladly loose a couple of frigs and dessies for the off chance that I get an awesome kill against the odds sometimes.

About 1:1 (kill:loss) with losses split equally between just losing to a better pilot or ship and losing to a blob. I'm a noob at PvP but not new to the game.

I fly solo or if I could be bothered with a covops alt for gatecamps and scouting nearby systems to find more fights. No links.

Depends on what i fly

When i do my favorite ships i get from 8-20 kills per loss average

When i fly riskier stuff i probably don't average more than 3-5 kills per loss.

I can confirm that this isn't buck's alt (nor mine).
