Emerhyz	Posted - 2009.05.11 13:23:00 - [31] Go solo fleets. 1 v 3+, and then tell your corp you truly are skilled. I've seen some video's where a single man can take out 4-5 people. Granted they, the enemy, may have noob fittings, they are not skilled pvp'ers, or you just have soooo much more sp. It's a great feeling knowing you may lose to 3-4 people compared to...how you feel now. I don't have enough skills to go and do this, but you seem too.
BeaconBeacon	Posted - 2009.05.11 14:15:00 - [32] Edited by: BeaconBeacon on 11/05/2009 14:15:01 it's not really my stats that make me feel weak. I can constantly get better stats then most of my corp mates. I always do extremely well in 1v1's. It's just, I always prefer a large margin of dominance over an opponent before I feel it is safe to engage, and I know eve doesn't work that way (the largest difference in stats is say, an active repper tank on a battleship may only be 2 or 3 times the strength of an AF's output dps). Also, it has nothing to do with ship cost, I routinely fly t1 cruisers in an attempt to get me used to the idea of loseing ships, but honestly something inside me HATES getting blown away. it's not the loss of isk, isk can be made easily, its that you got beat.
Chris Liath Gallente Nex Exercitus Skunk-Works	Posted - 2009.05.11 14:17:00 - [33] Originally by: BeaconBeacon "I have many skillpoints, I can fly loads of unessescary vessels with top notch support skills. Yet, because I'm such an overachiever, I feel that it's not good enough. I say this to prove how much I push myself to be better than the rest of you. I had 75 kills and zero deaths, a riduculously higher k/d than my fellow corporation members. I'm so fantastically good though, so I don't count all these fights I've had with my amarr, caldari and gallente t2 fit medium vessels that I've won, without dying. I'm so good and I die so rarely, it makes the game unenjoyable because I never get a real fight, and by that I mean me single-handedly taking down a Titan. I either completely dominate, or I dont find the other opponent worthy. It is my honed survival and killing instinct in me that tells me to live to fight another day, so I can pwn some more. I prefer to not fight at all, over fighting, winning (Like I always do) and then get taken out by a superior force. I only complain because I feel I miss those 1/4 of the kills my corpmates have (but remember I have 0 deaths) because of this death-proof strategy I have. Anyone else as leet as me? (My corp would be nothing without me, but some times I think they're a little envious of me because I never die) Fixed that for you. "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
ArmyOfMe The Athiest Syndicate Advocated Destruction	Posted - 2009.05.11 14:19:00 - [34] if u have no losses it means your not taking any chances, and that means your probably far from the best pvp'er in your corp, even if your kd ratio is the best some of the best pvp'ers i know in this game has tons of losses simply cause they are always out looking for fights and taking on guys even when they are way outnumerd.

So you don't like losing your ship. That's not a crime. Surely you're aware that a good proportion (by no means all) of the HAHA I LOST 5 T2-FIT BATTLESHIPS YESTERDAY I DONT CARE BECAUSE I AM SO MATURE AND CAREFREE THAT I DONT CARE ABOUT PIXELS bravado is a story that people tell themselves to get over the fact they lost the fight. From what you're saying it's not affecting your combat performance in any way that should bother your corp. So long as that's the case, fly the way that suits you. I don't like losing ships myself, I'm kind of risk averse and I fly in a fairly similar way to what you describe. So I fly in long-range ships like sniper HACs, etc and I do OK.

Lisento Slaven The Drekla Consortium	Posted - 2009.05.11 15:22:00 - [38] Fit a bunch of T1 ships with the intention of dying. In fact...take a T1 fit T1 cruiser gang into gatecamps that you KNOW are there (0.0 entries). When you enter, tell your entire gang to type in local "FOR THE EMPEROR!!!" and then begin to call primaries and see what happens. You'll die but if your objective is just to take a couple of them out you'll succeed. Mission Success. --- Put in space whales!
Verx Interis Amarr Honour Bound Sc0rched Earth	Posted - 2009.05.11 15:56:00 - [39] Originally by: Rakshasa Taisab If you cross-trained for three races, you do _not_ have top-notch support skills at 20M SP. Confirming this. I have 20m SP and have top-notch support skills for Amarr only. I can't fly anything else. ---- Logins required for this post: 354559
rodensteiner	Posted - 2009.05.11 16:34:00 - [40] Originally by: Rakshasa Taisab If you cross-trained for three races, you do _not_ have top-notch support skills at 20M SP. I 2nd (3rd?) This I have around 14 million SP total. I can only fly one races ships (Amarr). I can use pretty much only lasers (500,000ish in missiles) and I can't use T2 larges yet. I can fly T2 frigs, and HACS. No recons. No command ships. I don't bother flying BS's 'cuz I suck with them (T1 weapons) I can't use T2 EANM's yet. So if you say you're at 20 million spread across 3 races, then you've still got a LOT to go. But more on-topic, start losing ships. Go into fights you pretty much know are hopeless. Eventually you'll start having more fun, and be less paranoid about it. It's just a game, anyways. I can't wait to fly a Command Ship in PVP and lose it :)
5pinDizzy	Posted - 2009.05.11 16:46:00 - [41] If you feel weak it's probably because you sound like some empire wardec profession corp wuss who decs hapless victims all his eve life and as such never been in a fight where there was ever any real danger. It's a tactical fleet game where dying is mostly inevitable. Not Unreal Tournament where dying means yu0 are teh n00b. You're never supposed to be that strong in the first place. Most of all the great solo players I know have an army of alts. if you disagree with me then you should probably post a response and stop reading my signature.
Haradgrim Tyrell Corp LAST JUDGEMENT	Posted - 2009.05.11 17:26:00 - [42] Put 20 mil more sp into 1 of those races, specifically for BS and below and you wont feel underpowered.... -- Originally by: CCP Oveur Just donæt forget the reach-around.
Raydn James CAD Inc.	Posted - 2009.05.11 17:44:00 - [43] I 4th the max skills thing. I have 43 mil sp and only am maxed out in gallente. 20 mil spread across 3 races leaves lots of room for marginal returns
z0de Gallente The Bastards	Posted - 2009.05.11 19:00:00 - [44] Edited by: z0de on 11/05/2009 19:00:35 I have 23m sp all in gallente and there's still alot I need to be complete (not even thinking about caps and I don't have t2 large guns) You have far too much sp in spaceship command for someone with 20m sp. I seriously doubt your support skills are top notch. Also you have access to an ishtar but don't have t2 heavies (or sentries I assume), this is not good. á á
Northern Fall Minmatar Guild Academy Guild Alliance	Posted - 2009.05.11 19:41:00 - [45] Then its true, your doing it wrong
Bigpimping Pimp Inc.	Posted - 2009.05.11 19:48:00 - [46] Fly cloaking ships and pick your fights... That seems to be your playstyle, overly cautious, and cloakers could work with that. ________________________________________ He who pimps, is God...

You'll die but if your objective is just to take a couple of them out you'll succeed. Mission Success. Taking this to more amusing extremes, fit a T1 dreadnought and suicide hotdrop an enemy jump freighter with it. Self-destruct to make sure no-one gets any of your loot. Cost to them: 4bn isk plus cargo. Cost to you: 400m after insurance. --- 20:1 mineral compression ISRC Racing, Season 7 - schedule
jita alt123	Posted - 2009.05.12 03:42:00 - [49] In the end, it's just a game with pixels on a screen. Fly your ship into certain traps. Assume that you're going to get popped the second you undock. That way you don't get too attached to your ship. Plus it means you can lose your harby to a blackbird, 2 rifters and a jaguar and not feel bad. Maybe slightly ******ed, but not bad :D http://dec3mber.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=3237406 It's just a game after all.

Well no, not really. Carebears want something for nothing. The OP just wants to loosen up. I propose we sell him the Jenny Spitfire account, that is about as loose as it gets in EvE. Originally by: CCP Oveur The client handles no logic, it is simply a dumb terminal.
Ron Bacardi	Posted - 2009.05.12 04:12:00 - [51] Go to a gym, lift weights. Problem solved.
Caius Sivaris Dark Nexxus	Posted - 2009.05.12 15:42:00 - [52] Originally by: BeaconBeacon I'm a top performer in my corp (actually that's debatable. Last war our best fighters had around 100 kills each. I was at 3/4 that but zero deaths [they all had between 5-20 deaths]). And that's why killboards are bad... The best fight I've ever been in is one I lost. The other guy had less than 80 hull HP left. You won't ever have an adrenaline rush if you are not in danger, the feeling of control is nice but nothing like balls on the wall action, for me at least.
