EVE General Discussion

true but he has got an point ..

Solo PvP is about combat awarness, you kill what you know you would, and you run away if you know you dont have an chance..

So no heroes there, just the calculators

Altho there are some "persons" who would engage vagabonds in rifter
even saw one success.

RvB is about camping the enemy HQ's undock in faction cruisers/battleships

the time of frigate/destroyer brawls that were actively balanced through cooperation of both FCs has been long over (at least in EU TZ)

people changing from red to blue et vice versa to balance out activity in their respective TZs would probably only get you labeled as a traitor and/or spy in today' atmosphere.

I think the turning point was when 3rd party WTs started to farm RvB for easy kills and RvB pilots found that their frigates and cruisers have huge trouble taking on the dramiel/vagabond/cynabal camping them, no matter how the numbers look like.

At that point RvB pilots shipped up into expensive ships themselves and got their main's involved - who wouldn't like to be looked up to by a dozen newbies as he undocks a Bhaalgorn (a hundred times more expensive than everything they have ever flown) to guarantee their safety?

Nowadays RvB is more about winning and hating on the other side than about good-natured brawls. Not sure if it could generate another Major Trant (player joins RvB after one month in EVE and becomes a great FC by running fleets almost every single day, not afraid of anything) under these circumstances

Have you ever flown solo before? 99% of the time particularly if you are a noob ( I honestly think it is 99% of the time because I don't think I've ever seen a situation where I'd survive even if I had a tech 2 ship so I'm not even messing you about here with a bullshit statistic ) you will be forced to run away because chances are the person who has their guns aimed and ready to lock onto you will be in either a battleship or some sort of tech 2 cruiser.

This game doesn't even allow you to have combat awareness skills for one simple reason, the enemy has already spotted you on local because they all get free intel on your whereabouts so if you suddenly pop in they'll know you'll have jumped in from a gate, you'll be immediately scanned down if you don't move quick enough and chances are they'll have warp bubbles on two gates before you even get anywhere near them. Do you know what combat awareness even is?

To call EVE Online fun is a pathetic case of denial, to claim it requires skill a fallacy.

i solo, have fun, and it takes skill.

No fallacy

I've managed to do solo for 99% of my PVP so far so I really can't agree with anyone that says it's not possible.

Of course there is a huge difference between 'solo' and '1v1'. The former is up to you, the latter isn't, and if you want engagements you have to learn to fight larger numbers or at the very least learn to split them up and kill off the scout/lead/bait before the rest land.

If you expect 1v1 when you solo then you are just being unrealistic.

I've forgotte. How to do null myself, probably ought to ship up out of these frigs.

i generally solo, i also refuse to fly bc due to political issues...


its expensive, i die ALLOT but it hasnt put me off.

if you want to learn ceptors are a great place to start, i like the claw..

and yeh solo with linking alts isnt solo but that doesnt mean i dislike people who use them lol.. i just dont have the alt for it!

I get 1 vs 1 often;

I have the Badger, Iteron and Bestower loss mails to prove it.
