My EVE

Hello everyone.

Youtube Link
Evefile Link (517mb MKV).

I made this video for people that are getting started in PvP and solo in particular, to serve first and foremost as a motivational boost, and proof, that solo roaming T1 cruisers can be a lot of fun, and good learning experience while you're dying a lot in really cheap fits, and can have a surprising amount of success vs higher class hulls. CCP are planing to give a lot of love to T1 Cruisers, so I want to show new players to-be, what you can and can't do with simple Rupture and other cruiser fits, and bring a very positive light to solo roaming T1 hulls.

Ships: Rupture, Vexor and Cyclone.

A strong emphasis on lowsec solo, in the form of trying to separate pirate gangs, and get pilots to take GCC against you as much as possible. Cheap fitting suggestions (all the passive mods are showing always), last video it was the Shield Rupture, this time its more about the Armor Rupture. I write some basic and some (what I consider) more subtle tips about to get gate guns working for you. Some of the tips are repeated from the previous video, because they are the very core of what I do and how I get fights. And as I made this to get as many people give solo T1 roaming a try, including ones that have never tried it before, I found repeating some basis essential. However, I also leave out some important things that I mentioned in the last video, and move on to the more subtle mind games, so if you're a new pilot and have not yet watched "The Hunt" I recommend doing so. Even just to see how a pilot can improve by dying a lot :-)

Fights you will see include: Rupture vs Loki, Rupture vs Hurricane, Rupture vs Machariel, Rupture vs Assault Frigs Gang, Cyclone vs Cynabal, Rupture vs Cynabal, Rupture vs Absolutiuon & Hurricane, Vexor vs Raven, Rupture vs Zealot & Onyx, and other small stuff in between. I added two fights on which I have to write: Rupture vs Maelstrom, and Cormorant vs Cyclone, where I had help at some points, though the parts you'll see I'm already alone and they were great examples of flying under bigger ship's guns, so I added them although they weren't 100% solo. The other 14 fights are full solo, and I never got to use a scout or booster alt in my life so far (don't get me wrong, I would if I had the means heh).

Overall 16 fights spread over 20minutes, some are x4 sped up while others aren't sped up at all. I hope I've made a better job of a 'flowing' video than last time, taking everyone's criticism to account, I figured an average of about a minute per explosion or two is good enough :-)

Was made more or less a sequel to my last video The Hunt
All the fights are fairly new, nothing old, and a good half of them since Inferno, so as you can see, Solo PvP is still very much alive and not so hard to find if you know how to bait, and are willing to take some minimal risks... that are worth it dozen fold upon the possibility of success.

I have started training blasters skills, and I hope my next video will be less about the Rupture (that I oh so love), and more about ships that I have yet to try before such as the Moa, Thorax, Vexor (proper, not the current AC Vexors I use lol) and Celestis. And to continue evolving as a solo PvPer with your help :-)

Thanks to everyone in the "Bringing Solo Back" ingame channel, whom I keep harassing about ammo types :-)
Thanks to Wildcat, Prom, Garmon, Guados, Willl, cklm, Kil2, Iczer, Zach, Eric, SardCaid, FreshClip, Kovorix, Laktos and anyone else who posts videos in 'My Eve' (I watch them all) for your inspirational videos that give me motivation and new ideas. Click on a name to reach their videos.

Special thanks to are34 who donated me some ISK after my last video! A good few of the ships that exploded in the making of this video I could fly due to your generosity. As many solo PvPers, I am rather poor :-) I live off the loot I manage to collect, and have very little ISK to spare. So I'll just put it out there: any ISK (or med extender/trimark rigs lol) donations would be super appreciated!

If I made spelling errors I apologize, English is not my first nor second language heh :-)
All comments and productive criticism are very welcome!

Fly free!

God Vid, and don't forget the ones that helped him +1

i would just make 1 small change, to you has a player you know here you are and what to do to us watchers we don't know if you're in low-sec or 0.0 unless you write try to show the sec-status of system or write it that make it available in all fights

the good part of watching this vids is thinks "it's a awsome move" or "it's a crapy move and you are going to pay for it" :p

Finally :)

I must admit that im very impressed with your mindgames and what you can achieve. But a rupture without a propmod. Never saw that comming.

Keep up the good work.

really nice vid,,,

your love for the game poors out in bucket loads and the text is informative and makes for a good watch...

keep em coming :)

nice vid, enjoyed it.

ps. zealot doesnt have a drone bay

Nice vid m8.

many os the same tricks you use i use back when i did most of my solo work.

i and like to ofter that if some of you newer players need some one to ask about pvp. plz contract me. i love to help.

have fun flying

Ps. love that T1 criusers. i use to use the thorax a lot. back then i use a thorax that cost only 15 mil.

Excellent! Showing some intelligent flying and while being very informative at the same time . Thanx for making it!

I love the way that you are creative with fits and come up with interesting ideas to outsmart your opponents.

Dude, what the HELL are you doing telling people about the armor rupture?!?!?! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!


Nice video, though. Keep up the good work.

Again, great job Aldap. Lots of good nuggets of information in there, and you definitely have your own unique style of pvp :)

I think, if you wanted you could definitely make a fights-only video (like Zach said), up to you of course. I'm sure many out there appreciate this type of informative video.

Thanks Hoarr, Kovorix and Pleniers!



Yes that is indeed the plan for the next video :-) Just pure fights.
