It all depends on what you call Solo pvp. Running around in one ship, using one account to fight which is true solo ya thats pretty much dead. The "new solo" is two accounts one booster and one pvp ship that is much more common. And if OGB is never changed that will remain the "new solo" and for good reason. |

Let me fix that for you" I guess people don't run multi - accounts with two falcons and 5 neutral reppers any more". The word solo was clearly misplaced. |

Didn't the legend of Garmon begin with him "soloing" all kinds of stuff off the sweat of a boosting loki? |

And if you go back up to my first post you will see "The "new solo" is two accounts one booster and one pvp ship that is much more common. And if OGB is never changed that will remain the "new solo" and for good reason." |

Solo PvP is dead when you treat it like a sport.
Soloers aren't made in EFT any more they're made in a laboratory along with their blue pills and crystal sets.
Solo ain't dead; fighting the blob is dead.
I think I remember reading this exact thread back in 2007, it's depressing how little the game and the players have changed.
Get an actual goal in Eve other than PvP and you'll probably be much happier...
Also, in before "says the guy in RvB! Wah wah wah..." yes I am in RvB - suck it; a man's gotta eat.

So is sucking at it, but no one is calling you on it.
'Solo is dead', and 'there's no pvp beside blobs' is a lie indies and bears use, to make themselves feel better. Cause they're too affraid of losing ships and too lazy to learn how not to.

Solo PvP has ALWAYS been dead. This is a massive multiplayer game, always has been. Not 1v1 deathmatch, never will be.
For those of you who don't get it. MMO stands for Massive Multiplayer Online. Massive does not mean 2.
Not everyone wants to be a l33t POS shooter like you.
MMO = as a solo player everyone's out to get your arse, which some find more fun than guaranteed kills on their board from a boring as all hell evening of shooting POS modules. |

I guess your time in the game doesn't mean you keep up on your own corp happenings.
But yes, though it's along the lines of pre-arranged 1v1...I forget the name. It will be on the forum or ask around.
My comment was giving props to the setup. It's a pretty cool deal, really. |

With Eve its not really that its an MMO, its the lack of "end game" stats. There is no level 85 + Sword of a thousand truths. Only people who have an advantage in solo PvP want to solo PvP.
It works the same for fleet PvP, its just easier to gain the advantage with a fleet than a single pilot. From: Tommas De'Wins To: Cipher Jones Dude :) I got massives Basi hahahahahahaha |

In general, I've found that most people will not engage me when I go suspect. When people do, I usually get decent solo fights. I guess it might be the fact I'm a member of Rebirth and people expect the logistics, I don't know. I know that last night in Rens, two of our pilots got some awesome 1v1 assault frigate fights. Good times had by all. |

You can see it received over 15k raw hp damage. Normal Arbi's of that fitting have about 10k raw hp. So either it was repped, or it got a 50% raw hp boost from another source.

It was fun flying with him during early BoB days... I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Titans on fire outside "The Alamo" of NOL-M9. I watched massive Super Capital fleets glitter in the dark near the BKG-Q2 gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... -á Time to die. |

Wave of mutilation was great but to call scouted and backed up bs roaming solo is a bit rich. Still impressive and at a time when the cost was significant.
Oh, and I'm sure he did plenty of solo.

Farjung back then inspired me to be a better pilot and the Vindi is still one of my favorite ships. I weep for this Eve generation and the fact they know not of him or Bellum Eternus and his Kronos of doom. |

None taken. I find his vids more valid then Garmons if only because Eve was so different back then. God I miss those days. When null sec was adventure, and Piracy was in its golden age because low sec still yielded profits. Good times man.

Ok, this is getting depressing. The posts about Garmonation etc. had me looking up former PvP brosefs/acquaintances etc.
The purebloods/hardcore PvPers, as I call them, -- those flying solo w/o any support -- seem to be MIA, if not completely gone from the game.
And we're not talking BoB days, but those who inspired me as recently as 2010 -- some teaching others and producing videos. Other were just passionate players.
Their absence doesn't mean Solo is dead but I think there are some cold hard truths to face about it, and a question:
Will CCP, vets and the "current generation" keep Solo alive, even if it is on a respirator now?
We seem to be lacking in smaller corps as they've been absorbed, dismantled etc. Largely gone too are corps that inspired and made a difference in this area, such as PWNED Zone --- and even Agony is not the same. Until those reasons are fixed per se, I doubt too many lasting corps will take their place.
If I remember anything about starting EVE it was the possibilities for a pilot: be it to take down a battleship or a corporation, single-handedly. I still believe in possibility but I am also a pragmatist. There is something to be said about ROI or work/fun ratios.
I'd love to get back out there again but I admit some things have turned me off: like OGB, blobs, hot drops and five hour no-event roams, so I became lazy and am sadly not alone here.
I'm not ranting, but rather reconsidering what I already knew to be true but maybe didn't want to admit... that I've become my mother, I mean a bitter vet...I mean that Solo is HARDER, much harder to do. And I have to ask myself, is it worth it?

Do you guys even log in?
Lowsec is literally full of solo pilots, probably thanks to FW.
Is true solo for kb stat fanatics? No, I often fly back home in my pod. Do I get a month's sub's worth of kicks? Good fights? Learn? Meet great guys?
Hell yeah.

It's worth it in GW2 and WH Online. Despite those games lack a lot of EvE's atmosphere you can actually get out and solo kill people, sometimes even 2-3 vs 1. Also, sometimes, bypassers see these kinds of encounters and have enough honor to stay out and see the battle ending with no interference.
