Don't have time to read the other replies (because i'm lazy and important)
I thought I'd offer you some advice concerning solo PVP being the best solo PVP'er in EVE myself.
Priorities:
Nr1. Tackling
Nr2. Escape plan
Nr3. Firepower
and know this... frigates are 95% of all 0.0 movement! (statistics made up on the spot but prolly very close)
Best solo pvp ship class in the game is an interceptor or a fast frigate because they can pick their own fights, if you feel you cant win a fight, you just dont, nothing can really tackle an interceptor if you know how to pilot one (there are exeptions: sensorboosting stilettos and bubbles for example)
3+ medslot frigates are the best for solo hunting, meaning you can MWD, web and scramble... and when i say scramble i mean disrupt, interceptors and frigates should always have disruptors (20km) in solo PvP, the things you can catch with a 7.5km scrambler are 90% of the time to large to handle
Note: catching battleships, cruisers and battlecruisers and killing them is possible with interceptors but risky if they have a web or nos or anything you are as good as dead, very hard to tank cruiser/bs firepower in a frigate.
being able to keep your disruptor going forever is very important, having a defenceless hauler with a good tank or ransoming a pod its very good, nevertheless you dont need to disrupt for long in frigate vs. frigate fights
interceptors are able to sit at a gate in 0.0 and catch other frigates by locking them as soon as they uncloak and disrupt the, you can even catch some interceptors (very unfortunately alligned or with plates, overdrives or expanders) the only reason you would be able to tackle it and kill it would be that the other guy would not realize what was happning at that moment or didnt have a microwarpdrive, it's easy to mwd back to gate if you get caught.
fighting in other ships than frigates is always more frustrating..
thorax: can kill even battleships, many hacs and all battlecruisers and tackle most of them too with a 20km disruptor.
battleships: can tackle battleships and battlecruisers, haulers too but for all of these it's best to have at LEAST 1 sensorbooster, with 2 you can catch cruisers.
battlecruisers: very crappy, cant handle the little they can catch, they need sensorboosters to catch cruisers and that's all they can catch and kill
stealthbombers: LOL
assault frigs: harpy is clever because it can fit 3 sensorboosters and a disruptor and catch frigs and gank them in 1-4volleys b4 it's able to hit warp or realize what's happning or even mwd to the gate, however with this setup it is hard to kill anything but frigates (t2 and t1)
wolf is okay too, can fit 1 sensorbooster and catch interceptors if it's lucky but it's better at ganking than harpy
Note: tanking frigates even assault ships is only good for fighting other frigates or missile ships with no nosferatu and poor skills so i dont reccomend it, only time i tank frigates is to win frig 1v1 or tank drones of turret battleships that i assume have no nosferatu wich is very rare
Tackling the enemy is priority nr1 because everybody in eve is a chicken**** and you need to force them to fight.
PvP to most people is just going out with more ships or bigger ships than the opponent and overkilling. Like that stupid iron alliance video "it's electric". Solo pvp is all about tackling because almost nobody wants to fight 1v1 fair anyways.
SUPER HINT: take a bubble to 0.0 and make it tackle for you, it wont do the trick entirely unless you buy at least 2x medium bubbles and carefully place them around the gate so they span the entire uncloaking spawning area. that's 30mil to close down a gate.
small bubbles cost about 7mil each so take one of those and stop those stupid instas, makes wolves and harpys more fun because of their ability to gank frigs.
scout the map for jumps per hour, looking for people in belts is a waste of time they all log/safespot/blob you
out of text, enjoy
I love x-mas :D |
