You know. It gets really old to hear the same stupid suggestion from the same kinda players... that would be "if you want to play solo, get out." Well, guess what, solo is a viable way of playing Eve. Please note that this is a player vs player game, and some like me, do not feel the need of a group to take on the universe.
That said, fine, this is CCP's game. I realize that nothing I say will ever change anything that they want to do. But, making parts of the game unavailable is objectionable.
Yes it is viable to play solo, but you ave to accept there are things you can't do.
If everything could be done solo, and there was no content for groups, why play online?

Well yes and no.
I can accept that dreads are not allowed into >=0.5 space, but I think it's just plain stupid that you are dependant on another player having a) "the right skill" AND b) "the right module fitted", just to move about especially when you consider the level of SP investment required to get into a dreadnought.
I think you should be able to fly them about solo but that doesn't really make it viable to do so.

This is the ONLY piece of content that forces inter account dependancy, and that is wrong. By it's nature alone it would be stupid to move a dreadnought around on your own, and playing online in a MMOG like EVE doesn't mean you are forced to be dependant on other players, but it does mean that you have to work together with othter players to reach some goals.
Regarding the OP's post, it would be quite easy for CCP to make a "no go list" of regions for the jump drives allowing players to use them solo. This would be great for carriers but are they really "capital ships" ?

While I believe that Carriers are capital ships, they are not offensive weapons or flagships as is the Dreadnaught.
I also agree that forced dependance is not the way to go in the games evloution. This is the only forced dependancy there is and I agree, if, as I suspect, this was done to keep players from jumping to places that CCP was not prepared for players to go, then either removed those places since they are not scheduled for use any time in the near future or mark them is blocked to jumping.

Alright, I'm getting tired of hearing about it.
Give all jumpdrive operated ships the ability to jump without having a person to guide you. But it would be a risky jump, with a 50% chance of your ship being destroyed.

Where are the jumpdrive modules for the battleships? The devs indicated that battlehships and above would be able to jump. That appears to have been changed. Would be nice if a Dev would post what they are actually planning.

Actually Miri, I have no doubt you are far better than me at many aspects of the game.

You know, with an attitude like that, your taking all the fun out of the forums.

I don't think Miri is complaining about not being able to use the jumpdrive alone as much as she is that she has wasted all this training time and isk because the devs, whether they did not say or did not know at the time, did not say that it would take more then one player. Of course the way it is set with the fuel in hold requirments if you could jump somewhere with no other connection you may get stranded there if you miscalculate your fuel use since you may not be able to get more.
While I think that the interaction between players is a great part of this game I like being able to accomplish things on my own as well and can understand the drive someone feels to play that way. If ccp would be more up front with details or wait on future info release until they are sure of the end result would end a lot of these bad feelings when new content is released. Hang in there Miri and good luck.

It would be silly if a solo player were able to own and operate a titan effectively.

I don't remember seeing this, but am intrigued. Do you remember where you saw them say this?
Also if it is the case I would also like a reply from the devs.
