Molden Heath is getting better and better with the new orbital changes, meaning that corps actually NEED orbital support now(If the pilot can connect with 3 mins before the battle starts then we get an insta OB straight from the start). Its promoting us to grab some cheap frigs and dessies and go kill DUST bunnies. Whilst we are out dropping bombs, we are also looking for some like minded individuls to have skirmishes with, at the planets district or just in the systems itself.

So grab some frigs and a couple of mates and have a roam around! Or contact me and help me kill some more DUST bunnies >:)

Anyone who thinks solo is dead has no idea what they are talking about. And blobs are easy to avoid assuming your not a ****** and know how to pick your fights. It takes time children have patience.

It doesn't matter where you roam, you can't seriously expect locals to indulge you and continue feeding you "fair fights" you can actually win. Personally, I've been getting a lot of great solo fights lately but that's because I'm part of an active low-sec corp like most of the targets willing to likewise engage. There's a thrill in a fight where both sides expect each other to have backup en route so we heat all the things and hope to pull out a win before anything new lands on grid. I don't think that sensation is very accessible to people who pigeonhole themselves into ELITE SOLO PVP, because you are stuck assessing situations in the context of your own capabilities which, ultimately, are nowhere near the capabilities of a decent small gang no matter how elite you are. So as a consequence, you're liable to spend most of your time either pulling off shallow victories over gangs of noobs or getting "blobbed" by a capable gang that just wants to blap your garbage T1 frig as efficiently as possible so they can continue their quest for a proper fight.

In conclusion, you might not always get the fights you desire, but you definitely get the fights you deserve.

Molden heath is FW pretty much. Real lowsec is full of hotdrops and battleship gangs and stuff like that, not an interesting place for solo. What youre looking for is 00sec, thats fun.


I live in nullsec, the pvp there is terrible. 99% of potential targets are either cloaky, nullified or both, and no-one wants to fight. what I wanted was a place to install a clean clone for solo low-sec frigate roams. Lately I have been re-reading the following blog.

Flight of Dragons

Reading this first inspired me to start playing Eve over a year ago. Is this sort of gameplay dead these days, or is solo low-sec roaming in frigates or cruisers still viable.

You can find solo fights, but sometimes you have to roam for hours it seems. Then again it's not just fighting in a 1v1 that's the only fun you'll have. Sometimes just trying to avoid being caught can be a lot of fun too! Fun is what you make it.

Just as an update,

I'll be setting up in Syndicate on a part-time basis. We'll see how that goes.

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

Come to the Bleak Lands. Set up shop in Huola and stay in the area, there's lots of solo fights all around.

Learn about fw plex mechanics and you can avoid most ganks and traps and even single out players from their gangs.
