Black Rise

FW is great fun, I would recommend Gallente if you want a pvp focus, Caldari less so primarily because there are less targets around due to the current imbalance in players on either side. I can log in and find fights solo or in a fleet usually within minutes as plenty of targets around, obviously there is the odd hour or so here and there when you encounter nothing but warp stabbed farmers or solo players who do not want a fight, but normally fighting is more or less constant and minutes away from undock.

As to the off grid boosts, pah.. I couldn't care if they are using boosts. I don't have a booster alt, if I did I certainly would use it as it is just another tool in the box and no different to picking fights in a faction fit frigate against a t1 fit frigate or targeting players years younger than yourself. It is not a level playing field and very rarely will be. I lose more solo than I win, but then I have 5m SP and when I win it is much more self rewarding. Besides.. they are just cheap ships.

Fair comment and truth in what you say, the point I was trying to make howeveris that everyone tries to load the dice in their favour. I got called a *** in local the other day and accused of boosting, because I caught and killed a kitey Condor in a Slasher. I won't name the offender but it's on my killboard. The truth is I was solo, had no boosts and AB fit, I almost burnt out the AB but managed to catch him because he was orbiting at 20km and I headed away from him and caught him as he started to overtake me on the outside. He left local believing he had been beaten by an off-grid boost, when really he beat himself.

Personally, I think off-grid boosting should be nerfed but I doubt it will be, so have to just take the chance otherwise if you assume everyone is using boosts you will fly in fear of engaging anyone.
