iv'e seen more spectacular things and done more spectacular things, but its not a normal occurance, and im willing to bet that the camp was probably by newish players, taking sentries, no logi or falcon obviously, and probably in larger ships not able to track the cruiser. |

I understand the post, but I fail to see why you would choose a ship that only proves your point.
With as much SP as you have, and presumably as much experience as you have to go with it, I'd expect you to spend a few billion ISK on something that gets around a lot faster and makes it easier to decide which battles you are going to fight.
Staying alive and playing in solo PvP comes down to essentially two things: The ability to maneuver and get around, and get out, and the ability to selectively isolate and remove your adversaries.
Not sure of any better way to put it. A Tier 3 Battleship only really has one of those bases covered: The ability to get out.
What you want is a HAC or something like, that is fast and fits easily to compensate for it's lower tank. The active tank is more feasible on one of these because it has lower sig and higher speed to reduce potential incoming DPS and doesn't get locked up in a second.
Even then you fit some buffer to reduce the impact of alpha and you focus on holding targets and limiting their potential maneuverability.
Those are your best options, and I think always have been. Outmaneuver your opponents and you will have a better and more interesting fight. Go out to die, and you'll end up wasting your time and losing your ship.
You'll probably lose your ship either way, but at least it will leave you feeling better if you don't just sit there and take DPS like a pin-cushion. The BS route doesn't offer a lot of options, and the only way you're getting out is if you stay on gate and deaggress to jump while using a buffer tank. Even then, you probably won't get away unless the next system is highsec and they attacked you.
I have deleted and cleared my signature 7 times and it still won't go away. |

what i think is, kil2 is good at the game yes... but most of the 1 v 1's are frigate/destroyer kills/fights... pretty much anything bigger than a destroyer he had at least a small fleet to help him... the one or two exceptions was ethereal dawn... he killed a hugginn/curse in a myrm... not that far fetched... ED are noobs for the most part, but going deeper into my problems with the game, alliances like that replace those losses like nothing. games broken in alot of ways... kil2 is just one exception |

I wouldn't say it was dead as such; more...Why bother soloing when you can blob things, get the kills and never lose ships, ISK takes time to make for most. I love soloing...But it's rare...Which is a shame. |

If only solo PvP actually meant that, maybe people wouldn't feel so inclined to blob (they probably still would)
If I see a solo active shield tanking BS in lowsec I think "wonder where his two link characters are". Perhaps that's what the other guys thought too. |

Well, it was pretty much a battlecruiser sized camp with some faction frigates, sitting at a bubble in 0.0. Nothing wrong with kiting when your outgunned and outnumberd. Just checked, and he is now learning new dudes tricks in R'v'B. |

If you are deagressed for 10 minutes why didn't you just jump through to the other side where there was no falcon?
Or is this just you crying because you are bad at solo and didn't leave yourself an out in a brick? |

Also you do realise that the only things that really stop eve being a pure numbers game are logis and ewar. I think what you are really annoyed about is that it is impossible to use these things when flying solo.

Right so the other guys should just leave the falcon and the RR behind and lose some ships cos this guy flashed his isk?
Well unless the guys he was fighting were Morons they would have someone ready to jump through and tackle him on the other side of the gate,thus giving him a fight at least for a while with no falcon. If he really could tank them for 10 minutes he would have had plenty time to do this repeatedly. Landing on a gate with a hostile gang, trying to get their falcon agressed and then jumping through to fight without falcon is something people have been doing in eve for years.

Step 1. Set up corp called "honorable 1v1 corp"
Step 2. recruit honorable 1v1 fans
Step 3. Pre arrange matches and ship types and rules so it is all equal and fun for all with no one trying to kill you who was not pre-invited, yipeee!!
Step 4. Try not to get war decced  |

You cannot fight aganist a gang with ECM solo, if you are jammed for "ten minutes". You can however deagress and jump the gate.
So it boils down to "WAAAAH they wouldn't fight on MY terms", not "WAAAh the game is broken". |

Be more patient and pick your battles better. Observe your prey.. Watch there behavior. See if they have friends. Once you gut feels better make your move.
soloing is still out there just have to be in the right place at the right time.

It's called evolution, you either adapt or die (or in the case of EVE, you quit). Looks like you picked the latter.

"everybody flies in fleets now because the new people mentality is "If i dont fly in fleets with logi or ecm im going to die" so now pretty much literally every fleet has one ship that makes solo pvp impossible... in all of these occurences, subtract the logi or falcon from the fight and add another bs or bc, their whole fleet, or at least half, was dead before i was. "
there's your problem there...you expect somebody with less than your 90m SP and 2 bil fit to fight you 1 v1; why would they, since they are almost certainly going to lose?
So what you actually want isn't 1v1 fights, you want low SP cannon fodder to blow up for your fun?

I love threads where the OP is quitting because he doesn't care anymore, then proceeds to explain how little he cares and how good he was and how broken Eve is for 3+ pages of replies.
Sorry that you lost at Eve, OP. Better luck in your next game.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

There are pilots that excel at solo pvp still today. It's really just you. http://www.decloaked.com/ Scroll down there slightly and you'll see some highlighted. Click on them and peruse their kills to see for yourself. Then say to yourself, "I too can do just as well if I try" and go do it instead of quitting.
