Cearain Black Dragon Fighting Society The Devil's Tattoo 880	Posted - 2013.04.25 16:06:00 - [91] - Quote Halete I recommend you and any solo pilot learn about fw plexes. Here is a good guide that gives the basics: http://www.gamerchick.net/2013/01/the-beginners-guide-to-faction-war.html You won't be able to run down the timers unless you are in fw but you can scan and open the sites. Get large number of your favorite ships in kourmonen, or nenn on the caldari/gallente front, (I have a jump clone in each) and use your dscan and you will find allot of fights. Use the plex mechanics to avoid losses to the blobs. Look at the dotlan map to see where the ships and pods are exploding. But I will tell you kamela huola lamma sosala auga dal sisiede vard and anka are all good systems for plexing. They are all 1-2 jumps from kourm. Expect that kourm kam gate is camped. Auga is a regional gate so its not so much of a concern. Tell me how it works for you. Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815
Shintoko Akahoshi Pyre Falcon Defence Cadre XV-01A Pyre Falcon Defence Combine 29	Posted - 2013.04.25 19:47:00 - [92] - Quote Halete wrote: - By extension of this, I look at my lifetime kills and think about all of the hard hours I put in scanning and chasing, then I look at people who participate in weekend fleets and get my lifetime kills in a month with not much effort - Sometimes I get sad when I see that literally everybody with a worthwhile fleet ranges in 95%~99% efficiency. Then I take a step back and wonder why I'm giving a ** That's always been the case. I started pvping solo in 2003, and it was like this back then. The main difference was the lack of KBs and consequently the lack of focus on overall "ranking". Halete wrote: I'm honestly really happy with my experience. Solo PvP isn't dead, it's just not everybody's cup of tea. And that's what playing this game is all about, really. Bio and writing**
Halete Alexylva Paradox 772	Posted - 2013.04.26 07:32:00 - [93] - Quote Cearain wrote: I recommend you and any solo pilot learn about fw plexes. FW Plexes work well. Most of my activity has been in FW space since Molden Heath dropped off (removal of the lower quality dungeons (Thanks CCP), evacuation of some of the older locals, etc). From personal experience it makes getting fights a lot easier. If nothing else, at the very least it's worth solo pilots getting a feel for using plexes as 'space terrain' during blobs. Trading chains for shackles, I am free.
Garviel Tarrant Beyond Divinity Inc Shadow Cartel 771	Posted - 2013.04.26 08:31:00 - [94] - Quote Eve totally needs more places with ship restrictions that dont allow on grid warping Also the on grid warp distance should be changed.. its retardedly short making it really hard to spread out a blob =< BYDI (Shadow cartel) Recruitment open!
Maximus Hashur Vanus Technical Solutions Corp Covert Intervention 52	Posted - 2013.04.26 15:29:00 - [95] - Quote I can agree with what a lot of what people are saying. FW is definatly the place to hunt if you are into solo PvP. And basically, lose any concern about winning or losing - just be entertained by the fight. You will have a lot of good fights that you win, and you will also get your A$s handed to you multiple times, very often in unfair ECM/Blob situations. Get over it. My kill/loss ratio is like 2-3 times more losses than kills, but i have a great time. I will admit that i hate off grid boosters and have raged on here before about it in other threads. Even with that, i still have fun. You learn when to engage and when to have that 6th sense telling you not to do it. The only problem i ever have is getting more isk. I accomplish this by either exploration, or if im going to be really honest, i buy at least 1 PLEX a month just because i dont feel like spending what time i do have to commit to the game on PvE. Im addicted to the solo fight. Thats just me though. There are more than enough opportunities in this game to make isk if your smart and dedicated.

It seems to me, the number of actual fights I get with neutrals is climbing every month. Totally this! The word is out, Low sec is now worth hunting in, FW farmers and pvpers actually live there! Some one should tell null sec they are doing it wrong. I agree. Null Sec is boring as fck compared to FW low sec. And no i don't consider large capital ship engagements and blobs fun. And to those old school null sec guys claiming that FW pilots are low skill and cant compete with nullsec, i suggest you come over and try your hand. I think you'll find FW is filled with a lot more talent than you think. Looked up...saw this F**ING clown dropping like a rock.-á Woke up in Vylade wondering what just happened!!!
Commissar Veldt Progressive State State Section 9 34	Posted - 2013.04.26 19:55:00 - [98] - Quote been having and continue to have solo fights successfully without scouts and OGB and manage to find solo engagements easy enough. Faction warfare is probably best way to get them, requires a bit of roaming but not much once you know which systems are good for solo. Also BC's will usually attract a gang, try frigates, destroyers and even cruisers. Most solo fights i get are against pilots who dont use OGB either. My killboard has been slow this last month due to inactivity but the last year ive been spending most of my time honing solo skills. Ship down and join FW! great fun!

HazeInADaze The Tuskers 44	Posted - 2013.04.27 14:23:00 - [100] - Quote I solo a lot without scouts or links and I'm usually in a cruiser. BC is too slow IMO. Frigs and dessies are good as well but I find the cruiser gives me a wide envelope of targets and enough escape ability to survive a lot of situations. You will get blobbed. You will fight 'elite soloists' that use links, HG implants, chems, etc. You just get used to it and begin to recognise them by name or swagger.

Its very hard to get motivated to do BC pvp knowing that 95% of everyone you will fight will have links. BYDI (Shadow cartel) Recruitment open!

Ship down and join FW! great fun! tru dat. people who roll with OGB and/or super-isky implants don't have the soloer mentality anyway. I feel no shame running from someone who just wants to farm another easy killmail at my expense. imho few engagements are more rewarding than a true 1v1 at the ragged edge. heck, my most memorable fights have been ones where I can't even say I've won, like when both ships pop, or when we both burn out our guns because the fight was so close that neither of us wants to risk turning off overheat and losing the precious deeps that might mean coming out on top. it's tough to get fun like that when you're too risk-averse to strip down and brawl with nothing but a t1 frig and your own wits.
Ari Laveran The Scope Gallente Federation 5	Posted - 2013.04.28 20:53:00 - [103] - Quote As a new player this is one of the most interesting areas of eve I think, And I intend to lose many more frigs as i can afford to do so.
Dub Step Death To Everyone But Us 32	Posted - 2013.04.28 22:19:00 - [104] - Quote Solo is viable, its just very difficult and you have to accept that you are going to die to blobs, ecm and other such things. Don't give up though because it's super renegade and commendable. You will also get people saying, lol honour or other crap but whatever. They can do what they want, so can you. Yes you will die more because it is HARD MODE, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing you are achieving what few others in the game can do. Other than that. I always believe, whatever is fun for you, is the way you should play the game. I would never say that someone flying with links or mates is wrong. I've certainly taken part in small gang fleets myself and throughly enjoyed it, but for me, solo is the most satisfying way to play the game. Dont feel you have to do what others say. Take on board advice and play however the hell you please! It's you game-time.
Taoist Dragon Bastion of Mad Behaviour Caldari State Capturing 402	Posted - 2013.04.29 00:32:00 - [105] - Quote I have the key to 'true solo' pvp. And here it is. Don't give a F**K about losing you ship or your 'isk efficiency' or you BC rating..... Simple as that. Accept that it is gone as soon as you undock and you'll have a lot of fun, even if you are blobbed, OGB'd and HG implants and generally shat on from a great height. Sure there are people who are true solo with excellent isk efficiency and BC rating.....trust me though they are few and far between. Fly rifters! They pretty much gauruntee lots of fights That is the Way, the Tao. Balance is everything.

But i bet you are not monitoring it or getting worried if it drops a few % points though. It not actually about the numbers but the mindset that goes behind them. That is the Way, the Tao. Balance is everything.
