I braille jump. If I let my seeing-eye dog on the keyboard, he always hits the Alpo homepage.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

solo + a scout = solo?

It wouldn't be solo if you had a scout...

Fyi i jump solo alot.... Good luck catching anything thats immune to Induction wap scrams and bubbles. Especally ships that can warp out in under .5th of a second thats not even long enough to get a lock .

There are thousands of people online at any given time. In this multiplayer game, they should find a friend.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

YOU PEOPLE ARE INSANE.

A proper solo player needs a +1 scout at all times, there is no wonder why people keep dying to gatecamps.

EVE IS NOT A GAME YOU CAN PLAY WITH ONE ACCOUNT.

At least not in low-sec or null-sec.

CHANGE NEEDS TO OCCUR.

I strong suggest CCP push a campaign to make people realize you need at least TWO accounts to operate in hostile space.

How do you kick people from NPC corps?

Hah, a Goon pretending he doesn't know who everyone's main is.

I know for a FACT that Goonswarm has methods of finding everyone's mains and alts.

This ninja shadow conspiracy spy work is what the alleged Goonswarm is all about.



I know your secrets, and the secret is that you know my secret, so there is no secret to these secrets so stop trying to keep anything secret because we know each other's secrets so there is nothing to be kept secret.


I bet Goonswarm even knows everyone's password, they are spies and secret takers.

Type 2. are antisocial types who are using the internet to avoid being social and looking for a place they can pretty much do the online equivalent of live on a desert island

Now Type 1. look down on Type 2. and assume if they just "saw the light" and joined a clan/corp/tribe/sex-chat their life would be transformed for the better. In terms of EVE the typical reaction of type 1. players on the rare occasion a type 2. does actually post is to tell them to "just quit" and "can I haz your stuff" :D

Thing is there an awful lot of those Type 2. players in this game and they are never going to change no matter how often they are told "EVE is about big group PvP"

What I don't understand is why MMOs attract those type 2 players.

LMFAO. You realize we Type 2 players invented MMO's right?

We play because we like computers, we like computer games and well, without all us Type 2's, that'd be in EVE at last count around 70% of the playerbase, you Type 1's wouldn't have an EVE to play in.

Never go full ******.


In my mind, solo means one person. One account. One ship. One chance.
Flying around with a 1.4B pod is a big risk that they knew they were taking. Don't undock if you can't handle losing.

To the OP.

When people see a game requiring extra accounts "just to survive", it looks like a scam and they move on.

The reality of needing extra accounts is based more on crappy game tactics than anything else. Lots of people either don't mind taking the risk of a blind jump (and it is indeed exciting - even for a veteran) or already have built into their play style and tactics a means of avoiding them.



If OP bubbles are ever removed from the game or changed so they are not so OP then even the people waiting on the other side of the gate will have a more interesting game too.

I'd rather jump in range from gate was extended to max bubble range rather than bubbles being removed. When EVE released longest scram was 20k 1 point and 7k 2 points. We now have recons hitting 100km with links with multiple +1 scrams, out to 30k with +3 scrams, infinity strength bubbles out to 45k, infinite point HIC's out to 30k...

But we're still spawning 15k from gate... :)

People are so hilariously predictable that it's not even funny.

Bubbles+camp always on hi-null gates.
Bubbles always on the 3 bordering systems of 2 waring alliances.
Bubbles always in the system with small corps holding parts (lul I don't wanna lose my POS so I mark myself with a massive flag).
Bubbles on the only lv5 system as they're too lazy to grind up 3.

Rest of null is kinda safe for blind jumping imo.

bubbles are fun :P especally when u can sit cloked in one and make fun of them then warp off :P anyways.... Thats part of the fun with solo pvp what fun is it if you know whats on the other side.. If your confident enough in your skills and ship.. Your not going to care about whats on the other side. If its a large corp i wouldnt worry about a gate camp i would worry about the little bait cyno..

Like when test alliance hot drops a 200 man fleet for a bunch of cruza's
