Even 95% of RvB have off grid boosting alts.

Because nobody is 1v1. The worst solo fight I've had was versus somebody with 10 logi that bridged to a Megathron the moment it scrammed and webbed me.........I think it was an awesome laugh but really, 1v1111111 or nothing.

Right. I remember some tards saying 'we knew those pussies don't fly alone!!1one' after seeing my alt. They were pretty OK with the fact that there were like 5 or 6 of them, though. Damn Pharisaism.

These days people don't even 1v1 successfully can-flipped newbies.

The world is a community of idiots doing a series of things until it explodes and we all die.

1. Made up stat
2. Not allowed, although I imagine some people still do it.
3. Why bother boosting a cheap t1 frigate?

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

Pure solo here, yes it can sometimes be hard to get a fight because people suspect backup but that leads to less fights rather than over blobbing... If they wanted to do that they would anyway. Also any larger gang that cares about 'how' solo you are are just bads.

With 150m SP + Pirate implants many in RvB have (not even kidding) boosts can do a lot.

Glad to see you are still subbed, thought you were long gone.

I do it for the challenge still!

The majority of my kills are solo and didn't involve any kind of fleet boosts or logistics but some people have insisted that because I have so few losses on battleclinic I must have a logistics blob following me around 24/7 when the reality is that when I'm not doing war **** the people that I shoot at aren't people who actually stand a chance of winning in the first place. You don't need a fleet booster and guardian alt to kill a month old character flying an armor tanked heavy missile raven.

Also why would I fly a punisher if I had an RR alt?

I fly full solo, not easy bit it's rewarding in its own way.

When flying solo one should never consider themselves outnumbered, but instead should embrace the wide variety of shot selection placed before them.

I still think this game would become so much more fun if everyone was forced to play without alts...

Sooooooo funny. The PvP heroes aren't heroes after all. Ten on one and a killmail. (might make a good country song)

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

Country songs are usually written in coherent English.
