Originally by: Iltarus Almondis I didnt like the music, but you can't argue about taste I guess.
The PvP was a nice watch, but I have one question: Is there a special reason you wait until you are almost in structure to activate the shield booster?
In my Maelstrom I do this when I know I can tank everything on the field, but want to appear weak in order to keep everone from warping off. Bait tanking, it's called.
Ah, I figured it would be something like that, but it's nice to have a confirmation.
I would be interested in a short overview of what you lost and killed in those few days (I could probably look you up at battleclinic for that, but I dont know if you post everything there). Just interested in some general numbers to see what you can kill (and loose) in that time, since I didnt manage to find more than two fights during one week of roaming lowsec, and everyone in these videos seems to get at least a few decent fights in between ganks and being ganked.
Thanks in Advance.

Also can you comment on your older videos, I can't find a post about them on this ****ty forum and I don't have a lot of download power so would be cool to know a bit more about em.
Cheers!
Well my old videos are the same style - all solo pvp in BC and BS. My first, Battlecry, features largely dual-rep domi action with some cyclone stuff. I believe it's pre-dominion. The second, Riot, is mostly cyclone with some hurricane and 1 hype scene. The text is totally unreadable and horrible so it's difficult to tell whats going on.
Honestly, I don't think either are nearly as good as this video and probably wont be worth downloading if you have limited bandwidth.

Well, it has a lot to do with luck. And roaming around low-sec in an unscouted battleship like me is a horrible idea if you have any interest in keeping your wallet level. I would say, on average, if I play for 3-4 hours I would typically lose 1 ship to some circumstance, but would usually get 1 manageable fight as well. But of the manageable fights, many are boring or I just plain f-ed them up.
Overall the judgment that low-sec is dead for solo pvp is pretty inaccurate in my opinion. However, I also think you almost have to roll in a battleship in order to get good fights. The majority of gangs are BCs - typically hurricanes/drakes (as demonstrated in the video ) - and are pretty much un-engagable with anything smaller. Nobody flies the cruiser gangs of old, so you need to be able to take on multiple BC+. You might be successful in a frigate, but I don't have experience with that.
As far as getting fights - it's often just luck. But things like pretend-pirating (as in the 2nd domi fight) can up your chances. Just pick a route through inhabited but not overcrowded low-sec - 10 and under in a system is preferable - and make up some trouble when there's a couple people in the same corp in a system.

Mmmm I love active tanking =)
I read the forums assuming there are no trolls, only really stupid people.

Awesome vid, loved every second!
You got a great style, editing was clean. Found myself thinking "Why isn't he just..." a few times, but then thats part of the charm. Even though you may be rusty, it's easy to see you are pretty damned good when in full swing.
