I don't think it stands for (G)roup playing only either.

I'd say it just means that game is capable of supporting large numbers of players simultaniously.


So you think OP is a master solo PVPer who needs a tiny bit of encouragement? Or, do you think it would be easier for him to make some friends to go roaming with?

See the first line in my sig for which option I think is better.

I couldn't care less about that. I'm just annoyed (not you personally, more in general) of that 'witty' MMO answer every time someone mention solo play.

Yeah and all we're left with is a bunch of F1 spamming monkeys that couldn't wipe their own asses without someone screaming WIPE WIPE WIPE into coms.

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

That might be the reality of the forum, but not the reality of the game.

People who are successfully soloing in game have no need to come here and whine about the lack of solo pvp (which is really a whine about not being able to find other solo pvpers from people who try to go solo and fail).

If someone wants to solo, they can. Easily. All they need to do is get in a ship, undock and go roam.

Solo =/= 1v1 though.

Solo = 1v1, 1v2, ..., 1vBlob (and all of them are part of the enjoyment).

So your answer to someone who wants to pvp solo is to not pvp solo? Do you not understand why people have a problem with that?

Be honest, are you even capable of killing anything on your own? In which case, are you really qualified to give advice on how to find pvp as a solo'er?

I've been waiting for you to follow your own advice and provide some constructive tips for OP, but all I've found are a series of contrarian replies from you.

I'm curious to see how you're going to transform OP into a legendary solo PVPer.. just like you, right?

Too much ambiguity and variations in SP's for me and other friends I've talked to regarding pvp and solo fights. There needs to be some bench mark or level system in regards to a players points. Yes a dude with 70 million SP will rofl stomp the dude with 7million. With damage modifiers maxed out along with general resists (defenses) maxed out, why bother as a new player? Stroke the veterans ego? No thanks!

i.e for every 10 million sp you earn you'd gain a level. Just an idea?😗

Or you could learn to play and understand how SP actually works. Wherein a newish 7mil sp player invested into there ship of choice is equivellant to a 70 mil sp character invested into the same because you can only invest so much into each ship.

By all means please break this down for me. Please tell me how a 7mill invested to fully skill a cruiser player takes down a 70 mill fully skilled battleship player 1 v 1.

Nice dream but SP differential >>>>> piloting skill in EvE. What you say is to convince you that you are in a true PvP game where piloting skill would matter.

You are egregiously misinformed.


Because I didn't add a side note to disclaim the 50 or so people EVE wide who camp POCO's and kill epithal's solo?

I am no legendary solo pvp'er. I do not know where you got that from. If you focused on reading some of my replies where I have given advice you would see that I have done a better job than you, who have done nothing but troll the thread.

[edit] perhaps you saw on my killboard where I have tons of solo kills? That does not make me a legend. Most of the things I killed solo were easy targets. Solo pvp can be really easy!

You lost me at "prolly", but I see you made up for it by not caring.

How is 1v1 solo? That's called multiplayer. Ratting is solo. Learn the difference.


If you want 1vs1 find a empty system anywhere (if it's high-sec use the duel feature that CCP added).... honorbro 1vs1 thunderdome at the sun until your heart is content.

Plenty of people love doing this. However one needs to get social and actually meet people who are into this type of thing. It's not hard, it's a huge universe and whatever you are into chances at least a few hundred people want the same thing.

Now, if a player wants to roam around FW or nullsec totally alone while not mastering the ability to do this (and it's not just a SP thing, it's spending much time getting really good at eve) and gets eaten alive by a group and then cries about how all they wanted was 1vs1 honorbro combat......... lmao

I'm a null-seccer, and I've recently moved to Black rise for some solo PvP because nullsec is becoming ever more stagnant and boring.

I'm not having any trouble finding solo pvp in Black Rise and surrounding regions.

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.

Solo is almost dead now, and i think that it will go away eventually.
To many players to few systems.

Solo pvp isn't dead, just that the number of brainless people to shoot at has drastically decreased. If it's dead now than it was more than just dead two years ago, when falcons were rearry hardcore.

Also, what is solo pvp to start with? 1v1? 1v5 still solo? Cause if yes, then there is plenty of that to have and plenty to be won by fighting 5 scissors with one badass rock.

SP does helps with your stats. SP does not impart actual combat skill. The answer to your question is simple: orbit quickly outside of web range. Having a Tracking Disruptor w/tracking speed script in a utility mid will help unless the BS is a Raven or other missile ship. If the BS pilot is of poor skill, RIP BS.
