When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe you're just sitting around, reading 'Guns and Ammo', masturbating in your own faeces, do you just stop and go, 'Wow! It is amazing how f*cking crazy I really am!'?

Listen boo, it happened by a red pirate 5 jumps away on my way into high sec. I don't panic in fights. He had no connection to the FW targets that blew me up |

So...you jumped five jumps through FW lowsec in a pod? What exactly did you think would happen? You are aware that "warp to zero" does not always mean you land at zero, right? Jings, if you'd even just docked somewhere and got your free Ibis/whatever, it'd be ten times more sensible than what you've done.
My PvP advice to you is...go back to mining.

Oh, so I should dock at a station in enemy territory eh? Have you even played FW? You can't dock in enemy space you dumbass. You are forced to move around in your pod! |

Hadn't realised you were in enemy territory. That makes your pod loss even more bewildering...in the sense that you were in a clone with a head full of implants in a place where you were very, very likely to lose it.

The chances of losing your pod in low sec is very low. The only times I have is this crazy ridiculous game mechanic that allows a t3 cruiser to literally lock so fast that it can bypass the connection and almost pull you out of warp with a lock, and when I have lost connection and got ganked like what happened the last few days. It has been an unlucky few days.
I literally had not landed at the gate when I heard the ding of being podded. Its broken, plain and simple. That's why he was sitting there alone at the gate with corpses everywhere. He was abusing a broken mechanic |

It is quite funny that no one picked up on how little the OP know about this game... a T3 cannot lock you that fast... a pod warps so fast that you can't normally lock it.
In your case you were not locked at all... looking at the kill mail you were smartbombed... which is another beast. They don't have to lock you at all, just fire the bomb. This is de facto the only way to kill a pod if the player is not afk or stupid, so I think it is working great.
Did you try flyin to a safe, and check local. If the one of the guys have a lot of KM with T3 cruisers or a mauler, there is a big chance he is cloaked on gate waiting for you.
So pls. don't complain about a mechanic is broken, when you have misunderstood what is going on. There are very few ships used for pod smartbombings, so you have something to look for on zkill.
to understand your enemy check this very nice post, and come up with your own way to avoid it.

It's really simple:
1) These so called "solo pvp systems". like the one you keep dying in, but also OMS and others they're not actually solo go-to pvp systems. They're systems where terrible camp clowns with links, RR, falcons and 17 scout alts sit and wait for the next idiot who got lured in by the whole "go here for solo pvp" thing.
2) You seem to run AB fits on sluggish ships, that doesn't really work unless you have an exit strategy like a station or gate (or possibly MJD) so Fit MWD, allowing you to dictate more if and when a fight is going to happen
3) bring a scout alt
4) stop bling fitting your ships. right now everyone knows you're a loot pi+Ķata so I wouldn't be surprised if people have you on watch list going "lol, he'll be back here in 30 mins": when you log on.
5) those really cool pvp vids you see are a) probably gang linked to hell and back and b) against idiots, because that is how you get cool looking fights: fighting clueless folks who keep doing the wrong thing.
6) low sec tactics are generally based on AB fits which is not good for you as they'll AB under your guns till next Christmas. Instead go to 0.0 where most folks fit MWD and long points, THAT is where a short range scram fit works a lot better because they won't be countering you as much. Especially with ships that can use MJD (CBC,BS) you can effectively force them into your scram range
7) fit neuts to counter short orbit small stuff
8 get better so you can assess the situation and avoid it before it goes sour.
Simply put: stop blinging your ships, don't go to those obvious systems and in fact go hunt in 0.0 it'll work a lot better, get a scout alt, get better. |

If you want to fight frigates with a larger ship you need an anti-frigate fit. Cruisers and up aren't really designed for fighting frigates, they are designed for fighting cruisers and up. The obvious answer is neuts+webs+light drones, but you can even get gimmicky with it and fit light guns or missiles. Or try a cruiser like a Stabber, for example, which is known for being well equipped to draw frigates away from their fleet and kill them.
As with anything, fit your ship to be a specialized counter to the targets you plan to engage, then choose your fights accordingly. If you are fit for fighting battleships don't let frigates engage you.

The pod loss you are complaining about was due to smartbombs, not due to some broken game mechanic.
Are you sure you've been playing since 2003?
Looking at the fits of your lossmails, you have actually done the bare minimum for fighting frigates. Using a couple tracking enhancers and a couple faction webs are only going to help against less experienced frigate pilots.
Your fits look like you are trying to fit your ship to combat every possibility out there. You simply cannot do that while flying solo. Know what fights to run from. |

What else besides TEs and faction webs is there?? The only thing I can think of is a neut, which obviously wont fit on that ship |

You asked how to do it and I told you. What's your problem?
Frankly if you want to know how to kill frigates with a cruiser, you should start by trying to kill cruisers with frigates, and pay attention to how you die when you die. You seem to have gone straight from frigate vs frigate PvP directly to 500 million isk faction cruiser vs 10 man frigate/destroyer gang PvP without anything in between. Those were gangs that you never should have attempted to engage without first accepting the inevitable loss of your ship. I humbly suggest you try and kill some solo cruisers before you try to fly them.

Your ignorance of game mechanics is showing. I'm starting to think you're just an '15 char that jacked a credit card for plexes until you can afford an '03 toon along with hordes of battleship.
You got smartbombed m8. No need to lock you up. And before you even start whining about it being an exploit like ganking/bumping/killing you it's perfectly legal.

Amanda Guido wrote:So I have been playing EVE since 2003 and like to think I have a pretty good grasp on pvp. I tend to like flying cruisers and above, I just like larger ships. But I am having a lot of trouble flying them in pvp. I fit my blaster boats with dual webs, tracking rigs, have max gunnery skills, fly manually to reduce angular, but every time I undock to go do some solo faction war, I get owned by every frigate I come across.
They have a tracking disruptor and AB fit, or they are kites and my drones can"t catch them, they are an interceptor and lock me down and laugh as their friends show up while Im hopeless to escape or defend myself. I lose ship after ship and go through millions of isk a session.
I understand the game mechanics of tracking and transversal, I fit my ships accordingly. But it is just hard counter after hard counter and loss after loss. I feel like I am being punished for not flying frigates. Help please. I want to enjoy the game, but every time I log in I am just stressing over losses So you now have 2 threads in gd blaming your pvp short comings on eve's "bad tracking mechanics" . Will you start another when you inevitably get told it is your bad fits and tactics not eve that is the problem ? |

Wasn't my intention to offend you (which I obviously somehow did?), just called BS when I saw it. The entire original post was and still is a contradiction with the poster further confirming my suspicions with each response. Not the original owner of a 2003 char, not even remotely familiar with PvP in Eve or the game's mechanics for that matter, not even a long-time Eve player (which would have known better than to post something like this). Ask genuine questions and get help/answers, do something like this post here and you will get people like me calling you out. Simple as that. Nothing personal.

So before checking your own killmail, you raged on the forums?
If you're the kind of pilot who doesn't take the time to analyze their own killmails before getting salty about "bad mechanics" on the forums, how likely is it that you will even listen to anyone here?
Every killmail should leave you with the question, "What did I do wrong here?" |

As long as you predictably fly bling fit mediocre ships solo, you will encounter hard-counter after hard-counter. Also posting here probably brought you on a lot of watchlists. Being solo means trick somebody into engaging you on unfavorable terms or force the fight on somebody on your own terms. Just waiting in a plex for fights and assuming you can win just by the stats of your ship does not work, especially if everybody knows your ship's fit and also have a very good reason to be after your wreck and pod.

I've been hit by Santo, Piir8 and a couple of others on different characters, being lazy and warping straight up gate in my pod. That's why I included that in my post.
Santo and the Copycats are a hazard in Black Rise and Essence in particular.
Aside from that though, losing a pod isn't a "very, very likely" event.

Ya, its not like I was drawing them in and launching them to avoid loss of the drones right? Nobody does that in pvp, right? Oh and that 106 dps they do is super uber against frigates right? Just shut the **** up, you are embarrassing yourself

Oh and that 106 dps they do is super uber against frigates right? Just shut the **** up, you are embarrassing yourself Looking at your killboard, one other thing I'd add to my earlier posts about giving your self the best advantage is move away from the Old Man Star -> Tama pipe.
When I first started pvp I stupidly moved into Siseide (as a 6 day old character) and when that was too hot after about 3 weeks I thought I'd move closer to my Corp and so moved into Heydieles (was exclusively solo pvping at the time so I could get some experience and feel like I could join them in fleet ops).
That whole pipe from Heydieles up to Tama, whether you go via Abune or via Fliet, is a small gang Mecca. Vox in OMS, Galmil, Calmil, Shadow Cartel to a degree, roaming gangs etc..
As a solo pilot flying large, slow, brawling ships; it's just about the most difficult area I could think to move into. You can fly cruiser sized kiting ships (eg. Cerberus) successfully in that area because they give you more 'gtfo' ability and their speed helps, but flying brawling navy exeqs is always going to be difficult.
I'd suggest moving to a different area, to find areas where you'll be able to find more 1v1 situations and/or gangs of pilots with less skill than Vox, etc.
Just my 0.02c having soloed in that area for a long time too. Loss is going to happen more than wins, especially in something like a Exeq Navy, where a small ship can easily hold you down while their backup arrives.

Actually, my last response was probably not totally honest. If I was totally honest I would have said:
Your current choice of ships and style of pvp is not viable in lowsec FW at the moment. You would be far better to change what you are doing.
Slow, brawling cruisers haven't really been viable since mid-late 2013 as a solo platform that is going to get you a lot of fights.
Any frigate that engages you is only going to do so because they can win or have backup. Everything else will warp off. Cruisers that engage you will know that they can win and/or have backup.
Change ships and style and it's possible to even solo ok in that OMS -> Tama area.
Even switching from an Exeq Navy Issue to a Vexor Navy Issue or going to a dual/tripple rep Myrmidon would be an improvement, but still not a great choice for solo pvp currently (Myrm's are bait ships, so if you fly one everyone will expect you to have backup, so if they engage it will be because they have backup). But, if you are looking for lots of good fights, those choices are a recipe for failure.
