So since people everywhere q.q a lot about no solo pvp i decided to test how long it takes to log in, get into a ship and then do some solo pvp and see how long it took me till i got a kill.

So, i logged in (in highsec), jumpcloned to a lowsec system where i had a frigate (a succubus):

I undock with 7 in local in Ardar, theres 4 t1 frigs in space doing stuff but i cant seem to pointpoint them, also theres a svipul hunting me so after warping around for 1 minute or so with the svipul always following me i decide to move on, i jump into the next system (Flosewin) where i find a hound doing a mission, i go for it but it runs away.

Next i move on to Aset. Theres a retribution and a few stealthbombers on scan, but they all clear out quite quickly, i check the surrounding systems but bar a few herons scanning i cant really find anything. So i move back towards Ardar, i find a few more bombers running the fw missions but they all have a brain and manage to warp out (close call with a manticore within 20km once). Ardar itself is also empty bar an algos doing weird stuff, but it always runs when i arrive on grid (being -10 doesnt help).

Then i jump into Hadozeko, and there we have a rupture somewhere in space, a tristan in a novice and somwhere a caldary navy hookbill and a retribution. I warp in onto the novice, seeing if the tristan has balls (tristans are so easy to use, and people think they are extremely op, that they usually tend to try above their weight) - it does, although i think its more due to him being very new to the game. https://zkillboard.com/kill/59096535/ Its not really fit very well, and its a t1 frig with t1 mods by a new character, but still - first solo kill 17 minutes after logging in.

So i saw the retri and the hookbill on scan ealier and the second the tristan died they both wrote gf in local, which made me curious, dscan was empty for me so i warped to the only complex more then 14 au away (roidiest rage or something), the hookbill is 200km away and the retri 500km. So i decide to burn for the hookbill, it bails when i come within 60km but the retri starts to burn towards me, i oblige and a few minutes later this happens https://zkillboard.com/kill/59096824/ (24 minutes after logging in).

Because i was mean to the hookbill pilot in local, claiming he was a coward for not fighting a turret frigate in a hookbill he asked me to 1v1 him inside the novice - https://zkillboard.com/kill/59096969/ (27 minutes after logging in). Then i logged out.



So no alts, no fleet, nothing but a solo frigate - within 30 minutes i got 3 kills, 2 of them being actual fights. Which leads to my conclusion that solo pvp is perfectly easy to find and you dont even need more then half an hour to get a few GFs.


It all depend of the time and system(s) you roam, I was roaming Amarr FW space and needed almost 2 hours to find a fight where I'd any chance of winning, now, in the same time frame I get a lot of fights in Caldari FW space.
