A few of you know me, most prolly dont, I have lived in Placid and Black Rise (Gal/Cal FW space) for over 2 years now and the last few months there has been a major decline in solo fighting, compared to what it use to be its practically non-exsistant. Its become more of a blob fest of null sec style. Now some time last year some there was a lot of whining and crying about cloaky warp stabbed ships and how they should be banned some how and make the plex rats respawn like crack addicts to encourage more solo pvp, will how did that work out for ya? most of you prolly arent even in low anymore prataking in solo pvp are ya? (most prolly werent even out here to begain with) at the time people that lived out here said it was a bad idea with loads of reasons why and just about all of them came true didnt they?
I for one would like to see the glory days of low sec fighting return but it means kill board ***** mite have to get alittle butthurt once in awhile cause there may be a player thats doesnt want to get insta popped to their 3 times boosted deadspace fit whatever ship and just simply cloaks or warps off. OOORRRRR we continue to slowly bleed low sec solo players and pretty much become just another null sec region with out the sav.
I really love saying this in game and RL but WE TOLD YOU SO! :P

Other people don't have to solo for you to solo, if that's your aim. Just go out and do it. There are plenty of ships that are suitable for separating gangs and picking off outliers if you're worried about running into gangs. |

Too much ambiguity and variations in SP's for me and other friends I've talked to regarding pvp and solo fights. There needs to be some bench mark or level system in regards to a players points. Yes a dude with 70 million SP will rofl stomp the dude with 7million. With damage modifiers maxed out along with general resists (defenses) maxed out, why bother as a new player? Stroke the veterans ego? No thanks!
i.e for every 10 million sp you earn you'd gain a level. Just an idea?=ƒÿù |

How is 1v1 solo? That's called multiplayer. Ratting is solo. Learn the difference. |

All you need is a Falcon alt, a Curse alt and a off-grid booster alt. Now you can do solo PvP.
Alternatively, get a few off-grid boosters, go to one of the trade hubs and offer 'fair' 1v1 frigate fights, then brag all the time about your 'legit' 95% killboard ratio.

I'm sure you understand the term "solo PVP" as being distinct and different from PVPing against opponents with some friends. If you want to make some kind of semantic point about the term, then take it up with OP who named the thread.
I didn't see you dispute my statement. Having friends on your side is better than going at it alone.
Friendship is the best ship.

Wherein a newish 7mil sp player invested into there ship of choice is equivellant to a 70 mil sp character invezted into the same because you can only invezt so much into each ship. |

There's still plenty of potential to solo. Black rise used to be good because it was relatively quiet |

I think a lot of solo players are operating out of Thera since you can pretty much roam everywhere from there. I've not seen any of the more notorious soloists from around my neck of the woods in a while, but their killboards are geographically all over the place - they're certainly still active. |

You can solo just fine on low SP in a cheapo frigate and do well, even against more than one targets it can be done if you play your cards right. |

I have been away from EVE for the last 2 years. I decided to PLEX one month just to see how the game have evolved in the last years and god.. in the forum it's the same philosophical crap over and over again.
If you want to play alone and try some action in pvp just handle the consequences and the time invested searching for something that you enjoy. The rest will play the way they want and if you have a hard time finding someone alone to pew pew, maybe, just maybe, you are doing it wrong.

I thought it stood for masturbat1on. And that's solo by definition.
They call it sex when it's multiplayer. At least, I think that's how it works.

EVE launched on May 3, 2003. Solo pvp died on May 4, 2003. You must not have read the 12 year old memo yet. |

Suddenly it all makes sense why EVE is so full of jerkoffs. |

Marlona Sky is soloing in a freaking INDUSTRIAL. This demonstrates the fact that the 'Death of Solo PVP' is actually caused by lazy people being un-creative and then blaming the game for their personal failing, not some problem with the game. |

I solo... well i try to sometimes. I am getting better in that i don't just die in a blue ball of death every second gate. But it is well known that getting a good solo fight is bloody hard work and takes a lot of lost ships.
Oh and i do real solo. No links. No scouts. Just me, Leroy and the happy drug fairy... (seriously just one time i want no neg effects! )
Death and Glory!
Well fun is also good.

If you are fighting another player, it is not a solo operation. It takes two to tango.

If the dude with 70 mil has industry and science skills and just recently skilled up his cruiser he can easily be the one roflstomped. A character with 5 million SPs focussed in the ship he's flying will have a more than even chance against a character who has 100 million, only 4 million of which are applicable to the ship they're in. A character with 5 million SPs and the Player skills to maximise their ship will make a 50 mil SP "combat specialist" who doesn't into a comedy kill-mail.
You will lose ships as you're learning - so choose cheap ships and lose them. Lose ten or so and you'll probably be getting close fights, lose twenty and you'll be winning some of them - even if you're opponent is ten years old. |

A solo player can beat a whole corp. Indeed solo players have been known to defeat multiple corps at once!
I'm guessing multiple players are involved? |
