the reasons you go to low-sec is A) better rewards b) pvp
So why, do you ruin good fights by blobing? for example, i just lost an absolution, in what would have been a good fight, one that I might have won or lost, but it would have been a good fight, instead they pile and and boom i loose my ship but more importantly I didn't get a good fight. So I ask you What is the point of flying in lowsec if you are just going to deny one entier half of the reason of being there and having boring fights? plus it makes you look cowardly, it shows that you couldn't win a fight on even standings, but I digress; can some one from one those cowardly corps who can only pvp through blobing explain to me why you bother to even be in low-sec if your going to deny one of the main reasons to be there, becuase it makes no sense, why deny yourself fun? This is a game is it not? So please, enlighten me.
p.s. whilst I am honestly intriged as to the mental process of ruinging your own fun, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't annoyed that I lost out on a good fight. I don't care that i lost the ship, I've lost several of them, it's the fun that's been denied that I'm a little peeved about.

Edited by: Monstress on 31/05/2011 21:14:34 Because some of us find joy in the simple act of blowing someone else's ship up, regardless of how big our gang is or how much e-honor you might have.
edit:
I fly in blobs, small gangs, even solo. But I don't die to a blob horribly and then blame the blob, except for titan bridging blobs since, without being victimized once or actually knowing the cyno alt's toon it's impossible to foresee.
At least with black ops you know that if you see a recon ship foolishly aggress you, it's probably bait.
With roaming gangs, keep eyes in next door systems and you'll avoid engaging bait.

Because PvP in EVE is so very visceral, dying in EVE has alot more servere consequences than your elf falling over in other games. So with more at stake people will only engage if they think they can win, or they're idiots. --- There are two sides to the EVE community; those that scream for change and those that scream against it. Often they are the same person. |

You call 6 ppl battle-cruisers fleet a blob ???
LOL
I'm not even sure your absolution was fitted for PVP or PVE.
What's your point of flying that ship in low-sec ?? Getting blown apart ??
And NO, you have no chance of winning since you don't have any warp scrambling mods fitted in low sec.
Apparently it's just another carebear's wining.

But i still don't get it, no matter if you like blowing up ships, it's boring and unsatisfying if there wasn't a good fight, somthing to get your blood pumping so it's not fun so why do somthing that isn't fun? the point of playing EVE is to have fun so why do somthing (whether or not you can) that isn't fun? I mean my abso vs a drake and a clycone would have been a fairly even fight, if I'd have lost then at least I whent down fighting, if I won a great challange overcame, same for my opponents, hence why it's fun; blobing takes the challenge out of it so it's not fun just point, click, and watch the bars go down. So why do somthing that intrinsicly isn't fun? I mean if you don't want to have fun then why are you playing a game? I mean if you want to blob go to empire, wardec a corp, they love it there. This blobbing is not fun and ruins any fun that might be had so i still can't understand why to do it, I'd I'd have known that I was going to be blobbed I wouldn't have bothered , I'd have just run the moment I saw them... ok I wouldn't have since that's just as boring. Blobbing is slowly killing off solo pvp, if you know you won't get a good fight then bother, right?
No, i'm sorry but there's no excuse for it, blobbing is boring so i don't understand the need for it, everything in eve is all an extention of one thing, to have fun, so why do somthing that goes against it? blobing isn't fun for any one, blowing up a ship is satisfying but it's not fun if you did it with no challange at all.

Meh what's the loss of a battlecruiser .. it's the killboards that make people cower for every seemingly even fight and get the cavalry in. Killboard stats killed most of the EVE PvP fun.

God I'd love to see that Cartheron but we both know IT WILL NOT happen.
To the OP, I honestly feel that the reason people blob; and by no means is a 5 man bc gang a blob, if above posters are correct; is because as individual pilots, they lack the confidence, skills, and mental capacity to understand the finer aspects of game mechanics and how they play into pvp.
Blobs will happen, end of story. What makes blobs great is most of the pilots are r3tarded and if your smart you can easily get a kill on the blob and get your ship out aswell if you know how to manage it.
Also dont fly a 300+mil ship solo in lowsec if you are not intelligent about intel. Also learn to fly nano**** solo, you'll find it much more accesable than slow ass amarr. Trust me it doesnt work 90% of the time.

^^ so your essentially saying that people who blob are too stupid to play on there own? Wow, stupid and cowarldy how do they manage it? But in all seriousness your right, it was pretty stupid to try and solo pvp in a command ship, even more one set up for gang/fleet pvp instead of solo, that said, 6 ships vs one is still a blob, a smalelr blob but it's still the same mentatlity of a blob, ergo a blob. and through there cowardly act ruined not just mine but there own fun.
*sigh* I fear for eve if this carries on soon i doubt you'll see ANY solo pvp because people will be too afraid to go out and fly on there own.
Did this all start becuase of kill mails?

You are learning the hard way the leasson many, including my self learned a long time ago. If it looks fair? You are being set up. My first "painfull" experience was an Abaddon, lost 1 jump in to low sec to 15 guys. Who then got wiped out when I logged another account on and 70 of us slaughtered them. Yes, we blobbed the blob that blobbed me. They trolled me in local about using a baddon as a bait ship and we didnt tell them any different. The didnt know I had just finished fitting it.
I can't explain it, you can't but it's been this way since at least '05, I have been here since '05. EVE is a gank-a-boy game. I blob because the ships in EVE say that's what you are supposed to do. |

So then why bother to even play? if your going to do things that take the fun out of playing, why bother? Seriously, eve is a game, you play it to have fun, in other words people who blob are paying to do boring things? Eve has always been about interesting stories, and fun fights, If you would rather blob so you can win instead of having a fun time with a challanging fight then play somthing else, it's ruining the fun of the game and will kill solo pvp, or at the very least make it super hard to do it so that it's almost not worth doing.

FYP
If you were in a Nano Curse or Sheild Harb this prolly woulda not happened and you would be finding your next target right now. Also no Cap Boost on an Active Tank with Meta Guns. I understand that as a noob but on an Abso. At that cost and SP you should know better.

And the replies you are seeing ia EVE. It is no challenge. You fit the ship before you undocked. You won or lost before you undocked.
There is a grain of truth to all the monday morning quarter backing on your fit. Ships in EVE are one trick ponies that fill a role in a blob and fail solo. You can solo a nano Vaga or a Curse but its still not challenge. You fly through space, nope I cant kill them, nope I can't kill him, nope I cant kill that. Boom there is one but its still not hard or a challenge. The Badger will die to your Curse, no questions, no doubt about it. |

They arn't assumptions, what other reasons do people go for low sec over empire? Better rewards at a higher risk or for pvp, there is no other reason to be living in low-sec, it's not just my reason, it's a fact, the only differance between high sec/empire and low is better rewards and you can kill others without fear of reprisal from concord for initiation an atack, there is nothing else, you can spin it how you like but that would be nothing more then quibling with semantics, whether you going for FW or for minning, i'ts for a better reward then what you can get in high sec.
And you think clicking on a target, going F1, alt+f2 and then watching the target's hp bar's go down without a single iohtah of challenge is fun? wow you must be a ball at parties, what do you do, collect stamps? Nah i'm just kidding, but honestly it's not what i think, it's just the way it is, you pvp for a greater challenge since pve is kinda... challengless by comparison. PVP has unpredictability into it that you just don't get in pve and to just do somthing as boring as watching a target bar go down is going against the reason of doing pvp in the first place, the greater challenge. The reason you want a greater challenge is becuase what you were doing isn't fun any more, so as I said it all boils down to having fun and blobing is the antithesis of pvp as it removes that element of challenge which was the reason to do pvp over pve. If you don't want a challenge, then why bother doing pvp? It's counter intuative. if all you want is more rewards, then either do some pve content like incursion or bite the bullit and go to lo-sec... oh snap the first reason to go to lo-sec and i've already pointed out the other reason so yeah...
*sigh* i belive i'm getting off topic with that so i'm going to leave that here

Fun fights are fun fights, but when winning is a priority, blobbing is necessary. When I'm in a fight I try to assure two things:
1. that we win 2. the the enemy has as little fun as possible fighting us
Therefore the enemy would be less likely to want to engage again.

First of all, I assume that by "Blob" you are referring to large fleets. Second, I have to ask, are you mentally challenged? Surely if you thought about it for even the 2 seconds it would take a normal person you could have answered your own question.
Why "blob", fly in large fleets?
1. to win. 2. because they like to fly together. 3. because they want to minimize ship loss. 4. because they have a common goal to achieve. 5. because there will always be a strategic advantage in superior numbers, even those not fleeted who are working together. ..."divided we fall."
These are just the few that popped into my mind while reading your post. I'm sure if you gave it a try you could maybe figure some out on your own.

Now, now, no need to resort to smack; whether or not that is true (I have only just started playing eve again) or not, I don't know about that, it still has no bearing on the thread so please don't derail the thread in an attempt to discredit what I'm saying by virtue of whom I am in assocation with, true or not.
and
@Shieko Chan not to what I'm awear of, however I ask that you read my op and try to realise what I'm saying, whether or not your trying to win or achive a goal, it's still boils down to one thing, having fun and blobing goes against fun i'm not going to explain why it is against fun as I have already done that and if you can't be bothered to read it and at least acknowlage it, well I'm not going to be bothered to acknowlge you either.
Please note personal attacks just make me wish to ask you the same thing especialy as the content of your post clearly shows you haven't actualy read the whole thread.
p.s. I trully wish the blob were a lie.

and 6 ship gang vs 1 ship IS a blob, just as a 20 man gang Vs 6-8 is a blob. and if you must know that ship was fitted for gang warfare, hence the ganglink, i had no other ship in the region, despite that i belived i could use it deal with even situations.
I call that being outgunned. Try try 25+ on 1, or similar odds. then i call that blobbed.
Also: learn to GTFO when your outgunned.
And finally, Fail troll is fail.

I read your whinning post twice before I responded.
I would argue that those who fly in large fleets are having fun..whose to say they're not, you? In fact, what is not fun is losing which in itself is an answer to your question. See, I knew you could do it.

Blobbing gives them an advantage.
Look at it this way. Country A has nukes. Country B does not. Country A and Country B get in a war. Country A has a significant advantage because they have nukes. Will Country A not use their advantage because it's "cowardly" or "unsporting". HELL NO! Using the nuke will minimize Country A's losses and maximize Country B's losses.
Now put that in EVE terms. If you blob people you are less likely to take losses and more likely to win. People don't like having their expensive ships destroyed and people like to win.
I have a question for those against blobbing. Why would you intentionally put yourself at a disadvantage when you can easily blob as much as the other guys?
If more people blobbed, there would be a larger chance of blobs running into each other which means more large fleet battles. As the game trailers with the large fleet battles show, CCP must want the game to be about huge fights rather than solo engagements.
More Blobs= More fleet wars= more fun

your right but i thought that came along eith the assumption that you plaed in eve to have fun therefore every action taken is towards that end, still your right, i did miss that out.
It's hard to GTFO when your scramed.
you may have read it but you probebly didn't understand it then, alas i can't be bothered to explain the whole "you pvp for a greater challange as to have more fun and blobing takes the challgneing away which removes the point of doing it in the first place" idea so unless you can actually come up with a viable counter point with actual valid points that at least leave credence towards what your saying, I can't be bothered to reply to you.

so you can you know, have a challenge?
either way, you do realise that your all proving my point that blobbing is just killing solo pvp right? why do we go without a blob? because we want a challenge, we want to take out an opponent and have that satisfaction that it was a hard fight won and that you can brag about how awesome you are for doing it, you can't do that in a blob.
p.s. don't use real world analogies when to describe this game, contries go to war for resources, everything you do in eve is ultimatly for fun, you go to war to get more resources so can ultimatly get more ships to have more fun with.

Taking a BS solo into low sec is not looking for a challenge. It is looking to go home in your pod. Hope you had insurance.

EVE Online is an MMORPG. MASSIVE Multi-player Online Role Playing Game. EVE is about playing in groups. Groups stomp the mustard out of solo PVPers.
Or, if you really, really want to solo PVP, then get yourself a cynabal or nano vagabond or dramiel or maybe even a cloak fit T3. You know... something small and fast that at least has a chance of running away if you get blobbed.
EVE does not have a PVP areana where people can solo or small group PVP and everyone else is locked out.
If you do not blob, then expect others to blob you. Blobbing WORKS! People do what works.
THAT is EVE. Like it or leave it, but you are not going to change it.

Originally by: Shieko Chan First of all, I assume that by "Blob" you are referring to large fleets.
Blob = 7 in this case for reference.
1 Hictor Tackle 2 Blaster DPS Battleships 1 Cane 2 ECM 1 Curse
I know it looks like a standard small gang but don't be fooled it is a Blob.
Wow you really have no idea what a blob is. Have you ever been in a large fleet battle? Allow me to clear it up for you. This is not a blob. This is a low sec roaming gang. A wolf pack, a hunting party, whatever you want to call it.
I can probably tell you exactly how it happened: 1 ) The devouter tackled you so you could not run, 2 ) The 2 ECM's jammed you so you could not fire back, 3 ) the curse neuted your cap so you could not repair the awesome tank an abso can fit, 4) and then the battleships and BC melted your armor. The battle lasted for about 2 minuets I'm assuming.
How is this a blob? This is a well thought out, organized group, each with their own job.
Have you ever been alpha'd by 100 battleships? Or been warping to a gate, landed in a bubble and come face to face with 45 drakes? A blob is a group that can instantly overpower you with the littlest of effort, simply because of their sheer numbers. Blobs don't need tackle, or ECM, or neuting support.
You did not encounter a blob. You encountered a small group of friends having fun at your expense. That sting you feel is pride, not pride in your ship loss, but pride in the fact that you did something stupid by solo flying that abso into low sec.
Eve is like the streets of downtown Chicago after midnight, you got jumped for being in the wrong place, looking for a fight.
Sorry!

Dear Claska, you have been playing for two years and four months, so it's possible you are trolling us.
However you have been mostly carebearing, so it's also possible you really are clueless. I'll bite.
Your premise: Originally by: Claska the reasons you go to low-sec is A) better rewards b) pvp
is totally wrong.
You are assuming that what you find funny is what other people find funny, but this is not the case.
For a lot of people in lowsec a good premise would be:
reasons for living in lowsec: A) exploding ships B) tear extraction
If they blob you, your ship explodes. If they give you a good fight, it may or may not explode. So blobbing wins on point A. I they give you a good fight you are not annoyed, do not cry and do not come to the forums to express your annoyance. If they blob you you do (you DID!). So blobbing wins on point B as well.
What you consider fun is a good fight. What a lot of people consider fun, is preventing you from having fun. They do not consider it fun to have a good fight with you. They consider it very very funny to annoy you and have you cry on the forums your annoyance.
They do not want your killmail or whatever your ship dropped. This thread is the loot they were after. You gave it to them.
Fly safe (if you cannot fly dangerously for others). Ami -- And then there's of course the thing with it getting FPS even slower than the character creator, heating up video cards, taking a noticeable time to fully load ... |

I would assume that is how it happened to the OP since the ships were listed off her KM.

50 Maelstroms are a ***** when backed up by Rapiers, Scimitars, Broadswords and Dramiels, I know that much, but I am not on the forums complaining cause it was my Stupidity that let me get caught. But I am guessing you are confusing me with the OP for some reason.
I was prolly one of the 45 Drakes too at some point or another but I hate flyin in Blobs personally, any gang big enough to need voice gets old fast. I tend to avoid OPs with more then 10 People.

A blob can be 5 ships or 50, so long as you outnumber them by a ridiculas amount it's a blob or at least fit's blob mentality for the record they didn't use any ecm, or at least if they did they didn't get a jam cycle, i nearly at least nailed the cyclone, got it into half armour. your right, i am trolling a little becuase your posts to my non trolling thread were becomming amusing to me. I didn't start the topic to troll, i started it to gain insight into the thought process that would cause people to drain the fun out of the game by remving the challenge.
If people blob becuase they find it fun to kill a ship in a very unchallenging way (read boring) then they must be very easily amused people who don't need much to have fun. you say people don't go to lo sec for better rewards, are you sure? i know that the rewards in lo-sec are much better then high sec and judging from the modules that most definatly come from there i'd say it's a fact that people go there for rewards that are unobtainable in high sec.
The other reason is to pvp as you can't do that in high sec without a wardec or from being Concordokend, from what i've read, most people start pvping becuase they want the challenge it provides,(oh look since it comes from people's acounts it's actually evidence) thus to have more fun
The tears thing i didn't mention becuase to most pirates it goes without saying, i like to pirate or i did before it became practicly imposible without being jumped by a blob becuase i enjoyed a more challenging fight then PVE can provide and becuase it was fun to see if they reacted badly or not.
lastly i'm not whining, i'ts interesting to note that you ignore the point of the topic in vafore of trying to be insulting. The point of the topic was to get an understanding of people who blob, you spout how they do it be cuase of goals or whatever but in the heart of it, people who blob do it becuase: they don't want to chance loosing there ships and they want to think there capable by getting an easy kill
all that reads is to me there cowards and don't care about actually having any fun and getting good at pvping, so in the end your all right, people who blob are easily ammused and are cowardly, you did a fantastic job in pointing that out to me, quibble over semantics all you want, it's all just words.
any way, seams i got the last laugh, what was a genuine thread asking for infomation turned out to be quite funny so thanks for the laugh.

Originally by: Claska the reasons you go to low-sec is A) better rewards b) pvp
So why, do you ruin good fights by blobing? for example, i just lost an absolution, in what would have been a good fight, one that I might have won or lost, but it would have been a good fight, instead they pile and and boom i loose my ship but more importantly I didn't get a good fight. So I ask you What is the point of flying in lowsec if you are just going to deny one entier half of the reason of being there and having boring fights? plus it makes you look cowardly, it shows that you couldn't win a fight on even standings, but I digress; can some one from one those cowardly corps who can only pvp through blobing explain to me why you bother to even be in low-sec if your going to deny one of the main reasons to be there, becuase it makes no sense, why deny yourself fun? This is a game is it not? So please, enlighten me.
p.s. whilst I am honestly intriged as to the mental process of ruinging your own fun, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't annoyed that I lost out on a good fight. I don't care that i lost the ship, I've lost several of them, it's the fun that's been denied that I'm a little peeved about.
Why do you have a kill with 251 involved parties on your killboard?

Originally by: Claska So why, do you ruin good fights by blobing?
Blobs are the natural evolution of PvP in EvE.
This is a game where number of ships are stronger than types of ships. Five players in frigates are more powerful than one player in a battleship.
There is also safety in numbers. The more people fighting on your side means your opponent(s) go down quicker and are less likely to kill you or your friends.
With these two lines of logic, it's easy to see how the blobbing gets out of hand. If your enemy comes with friends, your only options are to run/hide/die or bring more friends. Your enemy will in turn bring more of his friends to achieve his sought victory. You counter by bringing even more friends. So on and so forth until someone emerges as the victor or the node crashes.
Now lets look at the anti-blob tools available: Smartbombs: Range and damage fall short of any usefulness. Stealth Bombers: Moderately effective against T1 cruisers and below. However a blob of SB's is necessary to take on a blob of opponents so the same problem remains. T2 ships are annoyingly resilient against multiple bombs. Doomsday weapon: No longer an anti-blob weapon. AoE ECM Module: lol really?
And that's about it. The current anti-blob tools at the players disposal are dismal and ineffective. That's why blobs escalate out of control. That's also why blobbing is so common, the tactic works and wins fights. _____________________________________

Blobs might be annoying, but really, it is a multiplayer game. If someone in a multiplayer game decides to team up with several other players to roam then it should not be frowned upon. Losing to a blob sucks, but that is the risk you take for those increased rewards in lowsec right? If this blob couldn't happen then it may as well be high sec.
I prefer small gang and solo pvp myself, but those are just niches of pvp, as is blobbing. You should be careful and look over your shoulder when walking down a lowsec alley, you never know when a gang will pop out and gank you. If I see a large number of pilots enter a low sec system I for one GTFO or at least increase my attention to coms and d-scan. If you have a corp or alliance also check out your intel channel.

Eve has always been about interesting stories, and fun fights, If you would rather blob so you can win instead of having a fun time with a challanging fight then play somthing else, it's ruining the fun of the game and will kill solo pvp, or at the very least make it super hard to do it so that it's almost not worth doing.
What if the people in the blobs have fun killing lone ships in space . . . ?
Kinda throws your whole argument off.

This is probably the worst game in the history of games to tell people, to insult people, who choose to play the game THEIR way and not your way. You can't define what is challenging for others and you shouldn't call them easily amused for flying THEIR way. Maybe there game is 90% chatting and bs'ing on skype/vent and 10% blowing up Claska's ships.

Hey Claska, here's a thought. Perhaps when this small gang whent to low sec they were not looking for you? Perhaps they were looking for another 6-7 guys in similar ships to have a super awesome fun fight with.
Sadly they ran into you, so they took two minutes out of their day to kill your terrible ship - because it was there.
They probably didn't spend the rest of the day talking about what a great kill it was or how much fun it was to kill you. They probably did enjoy the time it took to blow you up.
They probably then whent on with their roam and probably encountered: nothing/more noobs/similar sized gang/much bigger gang.
What should they have done? Said, hey guys its a lone ship, we clearly out gun it, lets just let it go on its way?

@op
you , like a lot of people , seem to think that PvP should be some sort of "sport" in this game , like in wow
you are wrong , pvp in eve is actually more like war, the objective is to destroy your enemy on every available field , from xploding his ships to denying his income source to breaking his will to log in even
the chalange is to survive in pvp
that said , lowsec is hardly blob land...try 0.0 for that
if you find such pvp boring...well...maybe drop this game?
oh and , as things are now , lowsec rewards are allmost allways WORSE then highsec rewards...same goes for like 70% of 0.0 space (and that`s beeing resonable)
maybe ccp is aiming for people like you , who want there pvp to be more like sport, with equal chanches and other stuff like that...maybe...but eve is not there yet
for now pvp in eve is about obliterating your enemy as efficiently as possible....that`s it. For some people that is fun...for people who can look at things medium-long term , for people interested in sov/strategic objectives/land controll /merc contracts etc...if you just wan "fair balanced fight" well...maybe ccp will catter soon but till then.._>wow

your right but i thought that came along eith the assumption that you plaed in eve to have fun therefore every action taken is towards that end, still your right, i did miss that out.
I'm in it for MY fun and every action taken IS towards that end. Whether YOU'RE having fun is utterly irrelevant to me, taken as a whole. I realise we could hypothetically both have fun at the same time but, and I mean no disrespect here, that just simply isn't worth my time and effort.
If I get blown up, it's MY fault. If I blithely wander into a Blob Attack, that's MY fault. The antelope doesn't get to play the 'blame game' with the lions and lionesses - the antelope was just **** out of luck, and the lions get a workout and a nice meal.

This tbh.
If you honestly think they should go "oh, we outnumber him, lets just ignore him instead of taking the short time necessary to kill him because it wouldn't be a fair fight" or maybe "hey, he's soloing, lets fight him one at a time so it isn't too unfair a fight".... well, then you're just clueless tbh.
Ofc, Since you seem to insist that noone can find it fun to roam around in a small gang blowing up anyone they can, fair fight or not, quite possibly while talking **** on voice and having a drink... yeah, you're probably a bit clueless, that or you're butthurt and desperate to rationalize why they are pathetic blobbers who are bad at pvp and out to ruin fun while you're a GOOD pvper who fights fairly.

Wasn't EVE a spacegame where ppl like to fly in a fleet? Blobbing has nothing to do with "ruining a good fight" or "cowards". It's just a result of an MMORPG concept. The more ppl join the bigger the fleets the more blobs we have. You don't need a blob to lose your Abso. So you want a FC of a fleet tell the fleet members: "Abso at top belt. We just send in a fair number of 2-3 BC's for a good fight!" - (you will lose the Abso anyway) - Holy ****. Why do ppl not understand?

OP is an clueless idiot. There are blobs, zerg ganks, in every mmo with pew pew.
Teh sole purpose of pvp is killing other peoples pixels.
Good fights will be ruined (esp if there is an Absol on the field.)
DEAL WITH IT.

blobbing owns and if you dont like blobbing you are a terrible scrub
i blob and i do small gang pvp (i usually just dual box a falcon because falcons OWN) and its all the same. kill dudes and not die!
i like ganking some dumb **** with a gang of 30 people because it doesn't require skill. if i wanted a game that involved skill i would go play tribes or counter strike or something.

by indicating its not an assumption actually means u have verified otherwise, so, lets see your research proving this is why people go to low sec.

OP, you'll just have to work around blobbing. You're not going to be able to realistically fly anything larger than a frigate or nano cruiser without a scout. And if you do have a scout and still want to fly something that can't escape when pinned, you'll have to get some advantages of your own such as pirate implants, boosters, and gang links.
The upside is that a lot of people who know only the blob are pretty stupid and easy to trick (such as mwd slingshot) or are just plain terrible at piloting like the guy in the vaga orbiting in scram range because he's rarely in a situation where the physical position of his ship on the field matters due to overwhelming firepower.
Once you've got a sense of how you can exploit their lack of ability, your perspective will switch from lone player out looking for a good time to lion on the prowl for a pack of lambs, and the fun will be in separating out a sick lone lamb out only to kill it in front of his friends (or just before they land) in a humiliating way while the rest of his blob yells insults over local.

Gangbangers gotta keep their epeen up bro.
Been this way in every mmo with pvp. Hell, it's this way in real life.
Ain't no queensberry's rules anymore.
