I think it's even more basic then that.

What they are really looking for is 1v1 encounters where they have the advantage.

The reality is that it's easy to find a 1v1 fight, but that also requires committing to situations even when you are likely to lose. For example I could take out a T1 frigate and go engage (stupidly), a tactical destroyer; or something similar.

But people won't do that because they won't win (which is smart also), but instead of flying something that can engage a wide range of different targets, they just complain that they can't find fair fights.

Well, no **** Sherlock. The limitation isn't the availability of 1v1 fights though. The limitation is the players unwilling to fly something suitable for a lot of 1v1 fighting and an unwillingness to commit to a fight if there's a risk of loss.

I had a wormholer ask me to 1v1 so I obliged.. ended up having a corpmate jump in What?Roll I was so disappointed and they just said that this was a lesson to not trust anyone.

My skin is so thin I just about quit then and there. Perhaps I should have PSmile

That is a pretty **** move of him though. That would cause many people to be pissed off.

1. Maybe CCP could help.
GOOD solution could be that CCP put "Combat becons" with "acceleration gates" , wich allow to enter first 2 persons.
So other cant go in and disturb them. Or maybe beter becon that only first 2 ppl can warp, that pirats dont wait near acceleration gate;p
What do u think?


Then I go inside with my alt and I am perfectly safe in space and I don't even have to be cloaked.

You don't get to be perfectly safe in eve when you undock.

The only way to do something like you want is to do it yourself. Either host a competition and hope you don't get hot-dropped or make a corp dedicated to honorable dueling and hope you don't get a bunch of morons joining to ruin it for you.

It's a lofty goal. Perhaps even a noble one. But EVE is a sandbox. It's up to you build your little castle and keep everyone else from kicking it down.

Good luck with it.

1 vs 1 pvp in eve is one of the most boring and predictable pvp situations. Your suggestion is really bad and there is no space in eve for it.

You can try to find 1x1 in faction wars, there are a lot of solo pilots. Just join some faction and go to plexes, sometimes you will get blobbed, but there will be also pretty huge amount of 1x1 fights.

No links, no scouts. True solo pvp pilot.

A CCP dev already prototyped this: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=375485

That's a solid way to do it, as 1v1s would become silly with no rules. Just like in a RL duel: if you bring a knife and I bring a machine gun... it kind of defies the point.

The limited set of ships and mods available to each honorable duelist provides a pretty solid framework for decent 1v1s.

Don't think I'd personally use it, except maybe to challenge corpmates and friends for laughs and PVP practice. I prefer solo roaming and figthing whatever I find, one or many. Or running away when necessary.


Anyways, the dev left and I've never heard of this project since.

It got shot down.

Spoiler: it will attract the players who laugh at the idea of 1v1s in droves.

Oooookay. CaesarGREG has ensconced himself as an unappreciated game design genius who thinks his ruminations as he spins his ship will (if he's taken seriously by those in charge - which never seems to happen) result in the perfect EVE Online. I imagine when he's through here, he'll stop at SWTOR, or FFXIV and offer his services to them.

Then again, he could just be a ringer trying to take the Try Not To Think Award 2016 by storm!

Actually not a bad idea but making one system strictly 1v1 is probably too much work to implement.

However adding various types of 1v1 Thunderdome Arenas to the game would be easy enough to code, probably even encourage players who don't normally PvP to give it a try. Of course each type would be for a specific hull class. They could even be tied in with the Duel mechanic, just have the Duel request include type of hull class.

2 ships enter, 1 ship leaves.
