I really like this podcast but it would be awesome if you could throw in some background music or something just to beef it up a little.


I agree with you, the issue is really just time/effort. Each episode already takes about 4 hours altogether to make and its just hard to think about adding more time to that when I could be getting more footage for youtube, trying to keep my marriage intact, or sleeping. I'll keep it in mind though and maybe somewhere along the way I'll do it.

I think the podcasts are great as they are; anything that makes it harder for you to get this great content out there as fast as possible, or leaves you less time to play the game is a bad idea IMHO Blink

Nah, don't add any music.

I think some of you guys are missing the fact that English isn't a native language for quite a lot of listeners and hence it already takes them some effort to follow the conversation for the whole podcast.

On the other hand, it's damn easy to play the music you like with another player, if you so please. Moreover, it's possible to adjust volume this way Idea - something you inevitably miss if it's done by the author Pirate

I'd like to keep thanking you guys, the info on maps and null sec have really helped me on getting better at FC'ing small gangs (4-6 people) and has given me insight into when to engage and when to not engage targets i come across. Also from a few shows back I have found that small FAST cruiser and AF gangs do scare the pee out of Tier3 BC pilots.


I think your commentary in one of your videos on keeping your hopes high when things are down was the most helpful. By just talking and explaining to people in my corp what I wanted to try and telling them that complete failure was an option as long as something was learned, losing cheap ships means nothing. Sense then small gang ideas and new people stepping up to FC has increased, large in part to this pod cast and you guys help.


Its good to see wolf pack and solo aren't dead, thanks.

Just found your podcast. I'm actually listening as I type this. So far it's very informative. Only one minor peeve,and I don't know if this is only episode one. Having you guys in stereo with one talking on each channel is kind of annoying. I tend to listen to things like this during work and usually have to wear only one earbud so I can listen for work stuff.

Otherwise great so far

Should only be the case for episode 1 I think, sorry about that.

You are very welcome. Feels awesome to think you guys are potentially having more fun because of the show. Hope we continue to be helpful =) I want to revisit the map and finding fights as often as possible, I think its the single most important factor in having a good time in small scale pvp. GL o/

Are there any chat channels were us soloers like to hang out? Or would there be any demand for a "Bringing Solo Back" channel to get created?

I like the idea of doing ship-centric episodes.
Also you should get Prom on the show, maybe when the whole CSM hype is over etc.~
I know you both are not big on frigsize PvP, so that could be a nice addition. Especially considering how a lot of low-sp players tend to start soloing in frigates.

Follow up. Yea saw the audio was different for episode 2. Ignore my other comment.

you guys should totally consider making this a true "podcast" You already have the audio. All you need is to create the RSS feed and submit to the itunes store (no cost involved)

Then everyone can subscribe and download them for easier listening.

Chat channel is a great idea. I'll join it as soon as i get home. \o/

It would be nice to form some roams from time to time too. I know the theme here is 'solo', but going on a roam with Kil2 and Kovorix as FC, has to be very cool.

Hate to nag, but any word on Garmons video? Blink

Staying on topic - Episode 7 was top notch. While it may be beat to death I loved the Hurricane discussion as well as Kil2's Hurricane Commentary Vid.

Just finished Ep. 6 and listening to Ep. 7 now. I got a little behind. Oops
Excellent stuff. Loved listening to Garmon and you guys. I hope people of all experience levels listen. There is always something to be learned.

Great work guys.

Want more podcasts/videos to listen/watch to, please :)

My second war story proves that with two you can have double the fun!

Well the guys in Perrigen Falls have smartened up (or so I thought) and started bringing their alts to fight me aswell, so this time we decided to go duo with a corp mate. I also wanted to give a second chance for my active tanked Cyclone, which died last time to pilot error.

It was pretty quiet and for a while seemed that we werent going to get fight this time, but 10 jumps (or so) in I warp to station @30km and manticore undocks to check me out. Guy docks and undocks again in Zealot and engages me, my corp mate in his shield buffer cane jumps in and warps to me and we blast the Zealot. In all the excitement I forget to disable overheat on my scram and it burns out, so from here on out my buddy needs to do all the tackling for us. \o/

What follows is either very funny or very stupid. The guy we just popped in Zealot undocks in Pilgrim and gets popped in few seconds. At this point we are laughing for him being bit silly, but next thing we know the guy is out in Onyx and aggroing us, we start blasting and neuting him, he tries to deaggro and we overheat and pop him again. Now we are laughing that next he is undocking battleship probably and lo and behold he undocks an Abaddon. Again we start blasting away, he is active tanking us for awhile but our combined capwar breaks the tank and he tries to deaggro but forgets to pull in his drone and dies.

At this point we think he can only undock in carrier and hope different outcome. Actually he doesnt undock at all, I decide to warp out and see if he aggros my point-able corpie and as soon as I leave system they undock a Falcon and a Dominix, but for what reason I am not sure. The falcon permajams my buddy and the domi just sits there repping the falcon, not sure what the big plan is. I warp zero into him trying to instapop the falcon, but unfortunately he has armor tank on his Falcon and domi keeps him alive long enough, and as I have no point, they both warp out.

We leave the system and think the stupidity is over and start heading back home, two jumps out a Megathron and the same Falcon engage my corpie on a gate, I burn back to him and we try to kill the Falcon. The falcon pretty much permajams us and we are not dealing any damage, suddenly though the mega pops a cyno and in jumps Archon. We play with them for awhile, trying to burn close whenever the falcon misses a jam on both of us, but he is smartbombing our drones and gets jam back on pretty quickly once we close into effective weapons range. We play bit more, kite around them and then the archon and the Falcon decide to warp out, mega still has cyno up so we charge in screaming. Capwar at full, guns overheated, overheating whatever is to overheat of my active tank I pop just as he enters structure. The falcon warps back in but too far and doesn't manage to jam the cane before he mega pops. As the archon warps back in and sets his drones on the cane, the cane warps out and back in thinking of popping the wrecks before leaving.

Instead he pops falcon who doesnt jam him for some reason and kills the same guy for a fifth time. I sit on the other side of the gate in my pod, notice talos jumping in and scream "try to tackle this talos if you get close enough", which he unfortunately doesnt, talos pulls range and cane has to warp out. I jump my pod back into system and the Talos has approached the gate, I notice I am sitting cloaked in my pod 2.5km from the Talos. My friends cane is very low on shield and is bit hesitant to warp into the talos, but I tell him its now or never, you wont get better warpin on him. As I am being podded, he engages his warpdrive, lands right next to the Talos, overheats everything and the Talos goes pop.

EPIC!
