1). TS/Ventrilo sucks. "get on comms" bla bla bla, go die...
2). People in the game treat you in a fashion that if I was treated in RL would rsult in my shoe kicking in their teeth.
3). Going out for an operation at "exactly" 18:00 but still sitting in the station at 20:00 waiting for late losers.
4). Spending 90 of your time fuelling your POS's or shooting someone else's POS'.

I'm in process of training to fly the ship I want to mission with to begin rep grinds so I can get High Sec Jump Clones.
Total Eve-Mon build time was 2.5 years. Not really much point in being active until I'm done getting those ship skills.

Much like others here I too have a 1 man corp. However I'm lucky enough to be in an alliance that allowed me to form my own corp recently after a bad experience in my last corp left me with almost nothing. I formed the corp and have no plans to ever go back. My alts all share the corp hanger making it so much easier to utilize ships and assetts. Also the tax is set to 100 percent and they all have access to the corp wallet which really simplified things for me. So I guess I have the best of both worlds. I have my own corp but lucky enough to have a social element from my alliance.

Anyone got a bucket of KY? That Veldnaught is huge.
As for solo play, I play solo because I like to play with myself.
Wait, that looked bad.... ah heck

I'm solo-corp'ing because I only recently returned and when I took a break and quit shortly after it was a serious of exhausting wars and costly conflicts with my past corporations and alliance about five years ago. I also noticed that parts of my assets at the moment still lie deep inside 0.0 space. But that's not the reason at all, I need to earn cash, train skills especially new ones, still catch up on the thousand changes done to the game (I love salvaging) and check out all the new stuff. I am playing at night and without commitments, so I wouldn't be a valuable asset to any daytime/active corporation anyway. I am still chatting with friends from different corps in-game over a single community channel.

I find that if I stay in my solo alt corp for too long I become jaded, paranoid and xenophobic. A bit like the the solo'ers in this thread

Most of those, plus...
I hate voice communication in MMO's. People talk to me all day, at work, at home... When I play a game I want to listen to music and relax. In the old MMO days everyone just chatted in text. Maybe it was less efficient, but it wasn't annoying. Now, all corps, even industrial ones, seem to require voice. I can't stand it, so I fly alone and only listen to the voices in my head.

Yeah, I think you hit the bullseye there.
I agree. Fille said it much better than I did though.

Most people are confident that 1-man Corps can avoid difficulties related to WarDecs by setting up several different Corps. Solo players do not hide in NPC Corps to avoid being WarDecced - they play in NPC Corps because it is convenient and has a neutral chat channel. Other solo players already have solo Corps.
Older players hopping back and forth between one man corps to avoid war decs, while somewhat lame, at least garner some respect for interacting with the game without relying on the "beginner rules" NPC corps embody.
Honestly, do you actually expect anyone to believe the main attraction for older players of hanging in a noob corp is the chat channel? Those few noble soles that genuinly enjoy spending their time teaching new players the ropes can be far more effective in the Help channels.
No one is "demonizing" older players in NPC corps. They simply will never be respected by the majority of the EVE community.
Um, how are judging how "old" a player is? This character has a creation date over a year old, but I resubbed, and have only actually had an active account for less than 4 months (the majority of my original 90 day card time I spent training learning skills and not playing after the first three weeks.) So I am much more of a new players than someone who has played for two months on a regular basis.
Right now I am missioning and plan on exploring. I know missioning is considered "lame" by people like you, but right now, I have a sporadic schedule. I will get into some more risky activities when I feel ready. If you don't respect me for the way I choose to play an open-ended sandbox game, then that's your prerogative. But I don't really care about winning respect from people who think there is a "correct" way of playing this game.

1) Ubiquitous voice comms requirements are dreadful - they ruin the immersion, and frankly talking to people in down time is the last thing I want. Talking to your computer with other people around is just too wierd too. Too many corps require voice comms. Typing can be very efficient, and you can scroll back as well!!
2) I like the challenges, lowsec, 0.0, wh space solo are dangerous and exciting. I like other players to provide the danger - hence the MMO needed. I want to see how far I can get on my own.
3) Very variable time available to play, often limited so I don't want to waste it getting a group organised for ops etc.
I may not be available all the time to help others. A solo corp can hibernate if needed.

1.)Being in a null sec corp requires a massive time commitment that makes the game into a second job.
2.) Most corporations will only fight if they have overwhelming numbers. If they don't then they run and hide in fear of losing their pixels.
3.) Most corps are active during UK prime time which doesn't work for me.
4.) I can be in a 2 man corp with my friend and do Faction Warfare. I avoid taxes and Wardecs because we can just form a new corp as needed. (I'm not afraid of PVP but I find most people only wardec corps that are much weaker than them for easy kills.)
I've always liked PIE if they where more active in american prime time I would have probably never left.

1,3,4
- No drama
- No begging
- No responsibilities
- No corp chat about things that don't interrest me
- No tax (who was also a character in "Asterix and the Brits" if I remember correctly)
- I get to keep my stuffs for myself
- I can use my 1-person corp hangars to keep my stuffs sorted
- No begging for help to kill Dagan every other day (though every one knows he's doable in a well-trained destro)
- No loss of stuffs except for those bloody alts of mine who keep nicking my assets 
- Not worth the wardec to most corporations
- No 17 year old 1337 brats
- No bad spelling
And yes, ofcourse you can be a solo-player in an mmo. Corporations/Guilds/Clans are only an extension to an mmo. They are not a requirement for interaction with other players.

I almost decided to try a corp last night, someone was recruiting in local...I watched local for a bit and decided better of it.
One thing I deplore in EVE is smack. I generally won't smack. If I get my **** blown up, then it's a "gf" or nothing regardless of the circumstances. **** I'll even "gf" a dishonored 1v1. I respect my opponents, and you can always learn from them. I don't ever recall losing something and getting smacked, usually people are willing to educate you (in a respectful manner) if you show some decency on your own. I'd rather be have some respect from my opponents than contempt.
Needless to say, I guess the guy recruiting fell prey to a pirate corp looking to ransom his corp with a wardec at some point in the past. IMO, it's all well and good, people have to make a living  . Either you pay up (which if you do you should just disband right there) or fight it out. The pirate in local was far from smacky for the most part, granted he was chatting it up to see if he could get some smack, but actually talking **** to the pirate made me just say "no". I don't want someone else's mouth getting me dec'd and everyone docking up for the durration. I've had to deal with that before and I didn't like it so much...
I hate the guilt by association thing of being in a regular corp. One person says or does something stupid, and you end up with people looking to wipe all of you out.

This thread actually pulled me onto the forums instead of my usual lurking. I am in a corp, but the vast majority of the time I am playing solo. Mainly, it's the voice comms thing everyone has mentioned, I just don't want to deal with it. I will, however, fleet up with people to do some ratting/anomaly running if they happen to come through while I am doing it. Generally though, the whole '2 hour roam at this time [starts an hour late]' thing really ****es me off.

Actually not a bad idea, could be a boon to all parties (pirates or pve'ers) who joined...

Only thing I miss about not being in an Alliance. This would be a good idea.
Sad thing is, we all seem to be in the same boat and you mostly all like people I'd like to have in a corp lol

Maybe ya'll should form an alliance of one man corps?
IMO this is a really excellent idea!
I play solo for a mixture of the reasons already explained, so I won't repeat.
I think this thread proves conclusively there are quite a lot of us, and we're moderately social as a group. Some form of informal cooperation like an Alliance and/or a channel would be great.
Proposed name for the Alliance: Aimless.
Well since people have asked for a channel, I took the liberty of making "Aimless" as a chat channel for all you soloers. No recruitment in the channel please. Come hang out :P
Hopefully we can build a little network of people we can do crap with when needed or just chat so space doesn't seem so "lonely".

Another soloer here.
As with those above, I can't be bothered with the voice comms thing (and my missus might have me sectioned if I start talking to eve).
Channel sounds like a good idea. |
