@ OP

Nice story and all only it just shows that pvp in eve online is dead.
Low sec pvp is mostly gatecamps and the same thing goes for null sec.

Going alone pvp is just asking to be killed and your post confirms this, if you see a target which looks to good to be true.
Its a baitship and you get scrambled as soon as you start attacking only to be killed by a larger group.

Being killed like cannonfodder in a game where the gameplay is all about skillpoints and fittings and basicly has the most passive gameplay i have ever seen is not fun.

Sure you only lost your cheap tech 1 frigate only you did loss your implants which costs way more then that frigate.

You can of course take a jumpclone without implants to pvp with only that basicly causes you to loss 48 hours of optimized skill training.
Which already take ages to complete.

I tried it several times using a fitted ship i didnt really care about to try and search for some fun pvp in low/null sec.
The only thing i came across are gatecamps.


For the last two weeks I've been doing nothing than jumping around in low sec on one of my alts. I have seen 3 gatecamps. None did manage to catch me. Low sec pvp is certainly not mostly gatecamps. Its a part of it, but not a big one. At least not according to my experience.

And how many fights did you have in those where, fights where you werent outnumbered 10 to 1?
And what kind of ship were you flying ?
Because some sucky fitted frigate is not worth the security status loss with a gatecamp.

Most pirates take pride in their -10.00 status - I certainly did.

Pods for the pod god!

If you decide to be a pirate with such a security status then yes.
Only it seems alot of players still want to keep acces in their high sec systems to do missions to finance their expensive pvp, they have to watch their security status.
And since killboards are the thing in eve online apparently killing a poor fitted frigate in low sec is not worth the trouble.

90% of my fights have been 1 on 1.

Excellent post. Excellent attitude.

High sec is safe, but if I wanted safe, I'd be playing SimCity.

If you like reading about low sec piracy or wormhole pvp, you might enjoy my blog.
