Smokie McLottapot Caldari Keepers Of The Gate	Posted - 2008.07.19 07:28:00 - [1] Is this the way EVE is now? People are so scared to fight that they have to attempt to blob out a solo ceptor with 10+? Is this the way PVP has always been in EVE or has the entire univerise lost it's sack? I say grow a pair and man up, fight the solo fights without jumping your entire corp/allaince into the fight. Thoughts? P.S. If you are above mentioned sackless wonder, at least flame with your main.
tarin adur Gallente Federal Defence Union	Posted - 2008.07.19 07:45:00 - [2] Pretty much... Somewhat, i hear myths and tales of times where you could solo without finding 19 blobs and getting your frigate hot-dropped. Some people don't like the Risk part of eve, so you get blobs. Not really any thoughts,tired of trying to defend solo pvp. And yes, i am a solo pvp'er(98% of the time)

I only seem to find falcon/rapier/ceptor gangs when I do get ganked. Rest of the time that I fly solo it's still pretty fun, and you just gotta risk more (hence why i fly nano ships alot... whine away ) I still have some good times though ------------ Originally by: CCP Mitnal It's great being a puppetmaster

I usually duo with my alt, we kill piewats all night long... oh running missions doesn't count
Kelron Queldine Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2008.07.19 12:06:00 - [6] If you have it, use it. Do you know how boring it is if you go out in a gang and someone goes on ahead and insists on fighting any suitable targets solo? A gank is not as fun as a fair fight, but it's a hell of a lot more fun than sitting on a gate while someone else has a fair fight. You have to remember that the 10 man gang that jumps your ceptor might have flown 20 jumps looking for a fight, they haven't brought 10 ships just for you. There are people who take it too far though, like the ones who refuse to engage on even terms and wait 10 minutes for backup to arrive. Or the ones who fit cynos to every ship in their gang. I hate signatures with no distinct break from the body of the post.

If you're asking people to duel then you wont find much luck as there is no point dueling to lose. This goes for the same on trying to engage people solo who know you are looking to fight solo. There is more to tactical pvp than sitting somewhere with paper trying to beat rock. I solo myself and I find it easier to get targets to engage when they don't think I'm there to fight. If you haven't grasped that concept yet then I suspect I know why you are having trouble finding solo targets.

Actully no, was soloing in a 0.0 1 jump from high sec, another ceptor jumps in, i engage. He's got both extenders and plats on to live long enough for 10 more to jump in :(

He's got both extenders and plates on to live long enough for 10 more to jump in :( Shame, proper inty fights are fun. But my point still stands in general that just because someone did blob you, it doesn't mean they had to blob you. Only that they had the ships there and waiting.

Cat Molina Minmatar Plutonian Shore	Posted - 2008.07.19 19:39:00 - [13] Edited by: Cat Molina on 19/07/2008 19:39:06 I could use some advice for finding solo PvP. I'm sickened by corp/alliance drama games and so play the 'lone wolf'. I also generally have a schedule which prohibits getting a group together. Every time I enter 0.0 I either find ratters who run and cloak or gangs which pounce (I mean really... are 10+ ships really necessary to engage my poor little Hurricane?). Am I doing it wrong? I'm beginning to believe a disco-battleship is the closest I'll ever get. Or SISI. Would appreciate any advice.

That's the way solo PVP has always been and likely always will be. Just because you are solo doesn't mean anyone else is obligated to do the same, 9/10 of soloing is isolating your targets and picking your fights. If you leave yourself vulnerable to being ganked, well, you're gonna get ganked. Abusive \| Deadspace2 \| Deadspace
Onel Whitaker Caldari Taurus Inc	Posted - 2008.07.19 20:28:00 - [15] I know that alot of people get alot of solo pvp! but those people do have a pair of balls, they have the nerves of going into a 30% 70% chance fight and sometimes get out alive and have a blast. I think most of the people who cry about not getting enugh of solo pvp are people who dont like to take chances and take the easy fights and expect people to fight back. Thats the way it is, and I'm not pointing any fingers. luv - Onel
Nakimoto Caldari Unnatural Growth Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2008.07.19 20:41:00 - [16] I love the solo pvp if available however have more and more run into a small band of nanos trying to over run my drake in low sec. I do enjoy approaching the belt and watching them bounce off astroids. If you want true solo pvp to return nerf the hell out of gank ships including nanos.

Bullshit. Don't like taking chances? Are you serious? Last week I took an inty to NOL and asked for a fight in local. Didn't get one. I run a Hurricane into Syndicate, go after a Curse, and get this. I'm not asking someone to hand me an easy fight... if I wanted certain victory I'd sit cloaked in a belt and pop noobs. Or suicide gank haulers in Empire. Or camp a gate with buddies. Solo PvP is hard to find in this game these days. It seems one has to either nano or cloak to have any chance. And then they seem restricted to targets which are easy ganks. But I will agree that I'm looking at it the wrong way (thus my asking for advice). I probably need to just find a means of turning their numbers against them. Now where'd I put those large smartbombs again? Thanks for the input.

Dominus Mortem	Posted - 2008.07.19 21:06:00 - [21] I just can't find anyone to fight... course i'm in Black Rise... seems no one is there :(. Only person i've killed lately is a condor i caught undocking from station in tama... I was bored lol. His tears tasted good though.

Thats the way it is, and I'm not pointing any fingers. luv - Onel You misunderstand me. I take chances, I routinely jump into camped systems and pull other ceptors of the gate and pew pew. I mean really, ceptor costs what, 10 mil fitted? Thats like 1 lvl 4 mission, chump change. I was just wondering if anyone out there still do the solo roams, by the responce I've seen here, I'd have to say yes. <3 to the "Lone Wolf" players, at least a few people left in EVE have a pair.

Thank you I love my pair. There is plenty of solo PVP left out there. I used to use a ruppy for ratting(PVP fit OFC) and wait until I was attacked in a belt... usually its by a lone piwate and they are unsuspecting of the smart PVPer. There usually looking for the easy gank and end up getting ganked, I dont even use a MWD most of the time, since im looking to get jumped. Once and awhile you get the pair in a Hac or cruiser and a frigate.. there the real fun, micromanagment of the scram and web FTW.
Lithalnas Amarr Headcrabs	Posted - 2008.07.19 21:33:00 - [24] getting 1 vs 1 fights is difficult to say the least, most of the time while i am at war im trying to kill people before their backup finishes warping, which means lots of gank and lots of plates. ------------- fixed for greater eve content
P'Tang THE INSURGENCY	Posted - 2008.07.20 00:34:00 - [25] I've had 1 vs. 1's honored before. Actually made some good friends in EVE starting out with 1v1's. It's not all bad, really.

PYROnoxx Terrorists of Dimensions	Posted - 2008.07.20 02:30:00 - [28] I like the fact that people blob adds a edge to the game If i score a solo kill awesome if i get blobbed i must escape keep my wits about me (like the other night almost getting ganked by huzzah) and the occasions where you actually get a few kills of before going down/escaping many times I've proven and i know so have many others its not numbers its skill the truth is we all blob at some point so cant really complain but then its also the reason why so many people fly nano (not that im saying nano is a problem as i fit webs to my ships and know how to use them ) just gotta learn to adapt and outsmart the enemy stop being lazy break them up and take them down one by one ---- post with ur main!!! i do..ow wait
