Guys why put in the :Effort: of using the options already available, when you can whine on the forums and learn nothing?


There is no available option, beside buying a new account and making a scouting alt pilot .

You can play eve alone with a single accout if you want, but i recommend to get a second account if you want to live in low-null-wspace.

I live in non-fw low sec and i use a Falcon. Scout+site scanner+pro disengage all in one best ship ever111111.


So you are fine with the fact that you need two accounts to pvp, even if it's just some frigate FW...

That's not broken at all, people just need to learn to play ("pay").

oh ffs you are bad. Not only does it take no more than a minute or so to check it with a covops, pods instawarp, cannot be locked warping away from a lowsec gate, and thus can scout them.

honestly the butthurt over a lost merlin amazes me.

Yes, i'm fine because i can plex it with no problems, but to be honest we shouldn't need second accounts for that, i agree with you.
I wouldn't unsub my Falcon because it is very useful tho.

Yes, whenever i want to do some frigate FW, i will pick up my alt scouting account and fly around all gates to check if their some Insta lock gate camps.

That's perfectly fine and fun gameplay right there.

Don't need a second account for solo PVP in lowsec. My KB is proof of that. It's not all solo, but the solo kills ain't bad and I am more often than not completely solo. I'm in Khanid solo right now.

Fast interceptor. Don't warp off, instead immediately overheat and burn away at a 90 degree angle.

It's fun for the campers. You didn't notice yet that the game isn't meant to be fun for everyone, all the time? Sometimes you pick the short straw, sometimes the others. Maybe you pick the short straw more often...

I know you can live with a single account, and i did it for years, but now that i'm used to my dear Falcon, i don't want to live without her <3

A true love story

Also, i love Khanid lol-sec too.

Edit. I said before " i recommend second accouts", not "second accounts are mandatory".

Sorry guys, I think I caused this. I've been smartbombing the highsec gate for FW feggotry systems for a while now. He probably got mad when I "instalocked" his T1 frigate and pod with my smartbombs :P

Did you even read the posts? We are talking about the fact you need a second account to pvp, so you don't die in insta lock gate camps, a scout alt account.

I know what you said. I was addressing the OP claiming that they were required for successful PVP. There is nothing wrong with people who want to use a second account for scouting, it's their money to spend and none of my business how they want to spend it.

And I'm saying you don't. Because I haven't died in an instalock gatecamp for months. Because I learned from my experience on how to avoid them solo.

You keep accusing me of not reading, but I'm starting to think it's projection for the sake of more face-saving.

I think you missed the instant part. Instant is faster then 2 seconds.


If only you understood how the game mechanics actually work, you'd realise that instalock doesn't actually exist and you'd laugh, just like me, at clowns who state otherwise.

But then the gate campers would come and wine about cloaks being unbalanced.

Just because you died to one doesn't make it unbalanced.

The map is useless. Its never accurate and hasn't been accurate since release.
