I'm too lazy to run OGB or dualbox any alts on field.
Well I say lazy, usually i'm too drunk to dualbox.
When you have a covert T3 and a really cynical view of the world, you tend not to lose ships often even when you don't run boosters. |

You can do it. Your kills will be 1 for 2 not bad go ahead and look me up. More loss to blobs then single guys. Flying solo makes you a better gage of fights. |

Basically there are two kinds of true solo pvp'er. One groups sticks with comparable cheap but effective ships ... mostly frig sized ships and the other group relies much more on expensive ships and fittings - squeezing even the last bit of power out of it. The first group gets much more fights in general - the second one is very cautious when engaging. But i tend to disagree with the importance of knowing the who-is-who of your enemies (uhh now that's an ugly sentence). It's safe to assume that your enemy isn't solo. Almost never is. Waiting to meet a true solo pilot means getting no fights at all. The most respect i have, is for people with obviously not that great kb stats. They risk something ... against the odds and don't get discouraged. These are the guys bringing fun into fights and delivering "gf"s.

I also belive that picking your fights is very important to remeber. I constantly have to hit that scanner so that maybe I have time to switch ammo types or ready to warp out if their buddies come along. |

The two are kind of linked. If you fit up a cheap ship and go out looking for 1v1s you might be waiting a while. Fitting a more expensive setup that can cope with multiple opponents opens up additional options when you're out hunting for a fight. |

Best advice in this thread. Some of the best fights I've ever had have been when I've been outmanned or outgunned. It does result in a lot of dying but it is worth it when you go 3 v 1 and walk away with three killmails because you outsmarted your opponent. |

To learn out though..small yes crappy no but decent yes. Try a slasher or merlin then incurus. Punisher is good too depends. Dont go so crappy you lose out right, give yourself an exit to bounce the ship without feeling guilty of the isk loss. |

From mainly flying Frigs and Dessies solo/small gang in LS.
I have met a couple of pilots who have smashed my "Rock" to their "Scissors", without resorting to OGB. Innovative fits and good combat flying has left we wandering "How the frack, did that happen"!
They are the Elite pilots in my view even though their KB stats no better than 2:1 or even.
The pilot with 3000 kills and 50 losses is one to avoid - either OGB, falcon alt or bait for a gang. Some folks are just out for kills not PvP., nothing wrong with that, but they just have to crow "how good they are" afterwards in Local. I alway think small genitalia which has never been used in anger or crappy job but too lazy/afraid to go for something better.
Anyhow can't sit here all day typing, got to explode at least once tonight and still leave time to sit in my Bentley enjoying a BJ.

So my question is - are all of you other solo pilots experiencing a loss ratio similar to this?

when you zoom all the way out, all ships look the same.
I love flying t1 stuff, because when you get that t2 or faction kill, it feels 10 times better.
what is ogb? I engaged vengeace and incursus since I came back (2 years out, came back last month) and they seem to have unbreakable tank, luckily both of these people sucked at keeping range so i got out both times. Then got accused in local of using WCS, imagine that!

I also hate those kill whores. Im a kill ***** though. My kills are low and mostly non-combat. Im a pretty crap pvpr but my goal is to war dec large alliances avoid the gangs and kill as many ships / pods as possible. Thats all I care about really, podding them and getting as high a solo k/d ratio as possible. I guess everyone has different goals and aims and as long as you enjoy what you do in game it doesnt really matter. |

Depends a lot on what you fly(nano, brawling or some tricky fits that only work under certain conditions). I have seen a lot of fights where I would have lost a mega for sure, while I got out with the pest or simply was in the better positions, being not double webbed and scrammed at point blank. Still the biggest factor when it comes to lose ships is engaging very recklessly and out of a very bad position(like 6vs1 and you already know the 5 hulls that wait till the bait got the point). However I think this are some of the most entertaining fights you can get(if you don't end up perma jammed) and the major reason people fly solo is that they search for the challenge and interesting fights. If you fly solo to have fun, I wouldn't worry this much about K\D ratios but to get fights that where entertaining enough to you to consider flying solo as fun. A 100/1 ratio isn't worth a damn thing if you need to camp in a cloaked recon for hours to kill a easy target once it comes out, it is just boring stuff. |

Yeah there are tons of relatively cheap awesome ships you can fly solo. Pretty much anything cruiser and below has a niche, and will get you fights. I mean, would you call the Incursus crappy? The Merlin? They may not be expensive, but goddamn are they reliable. This Space Intentionally Left Blank |
