Shiva79	Posted - 2005.10.16 22:54:00 - [1] I am in a corp where a number of our members are on late at night so fleet ops tend to happen around that time. This means that i am often trying to better get pvp experience by solo pvping. I have done this for around a month now and i am starting to feel that it is not really possible. My question is how many of you solo pvp (i mean with 1 account so no solo pvping with 2 or even 3 accounts backing you up) and how is it possible are there specific ships that are great for it? do you gate camp or do you search for your targets?
Cassendra	Posted - 2005.10.16 22:58:00 - [2] Originally by: Shiva79 I am in a corp where a number of our members are on late at night so fleet ops tend to happen around that time.

My question is how many of you solo pvp (i mean with 1 account so no solo pvping with 2 or even 3 accounts backing you up) and how is it possible are there specific ships that are great for it? do you gate camp or do you search for your targets? Gate camp, but get someone to coach you a bit. Solo you won¦t catch everything but you will still have fun. I did 28 confirmed gate kills solo today although I did miss a lot of traffic. I have friends who do even better. There are a range of different setups depending on what you want to do. --------x--------- Cassendra Assassin. Merc. Pirate. Crusaders
Shiva79	Posted - 2005.10.16 23:12:00 - [3] I do gate camp generally and have a bit of experience in it however i just find i miss almost everything. i often camp in a ferox and even with a tech 2 sensor booster and sensor amp i still manage to miss everything that doesent attempt to engage me first. Is there a better ship for this sort of tactic? I am trained solely for caldari ships but i am open to suggestion. bs's just seem to track way too slowly and just get pwnd by any minor fleet that hops through cos it cant warp out (i know if you don't fire you can jump out but the problem is a fleets scout usually engages you first which you fire back at not knowing he's a scouth and therefore your stuck there ) I mean is the fleet thing just an ocupational hazzard?
Goberth Ludwig	Posted - 2005.10.17 00:22:00 - [4] Solo pvpin is diffuclt, u might wanna try using an interceptor or plated cruiser to start (i.e. thorax, rupture or maller) but they aint caldari :\ - Gob (also known as Admiral Goberius)
Cassendra	Posted - 2005.10.17 00:31:00 - [5] Well if Caldari then go for a Raven with either smart bomb to kill small stuff close range, Torps for big stuff close range, or cruise for big and small stuff long range. I personally prefer cruise from outside sentry range but to do it effectively you need cruise launchers II and a full rack of BCUs plus sensor boosters II. you won¦t get most shuttles and ceptors or ships that are fitting MWD.. but you¦d be surprised at the kill count. Think I scored 31 kills today in just a few hours. --------x--------- Cassendra Assassin. Merc. Pirate. Crusaders
Ginger Magician	Posted - 2005.10.17 00:41:00 - [6] Solo pvp is for the elite of the game my friend Its a very difficult thing to do successfully "Ginger Magician is just infamous. I've met more people ingame that have talked about him, than anyone else in Eve."

Shiva79	Posted - 2005.10.17 01:24:00 - [8] I would like to clarify i am not tanking sentrys this is all 0.0 solo pvping. i understand this it is difficult and i can accept losses i just struggle to find a ship and setup that comes even close to getting 20 or 30 kills a day. Today for example i camped for a good many hours and i would say 30 folks nipped fast me. the odd shuttle but mainly elite frigs and a few cruisers. Maybe it is my choice of ship and as much as i would like to take a raven out i would have to mak e alot to pay for its loss as well as its poor locking times would mean i will miss a considerable number of targets.
Lia Jjaro	Posted - 2005.10.17 01:37:00 - [9] Yes, I solo PvP all the time. (With my main of course.) Not that many people do solo PvP, they'd rather hunt with the safety of a gang. But yes it's perfectly possible, and it feels a hell of lot more rewarding to kill a ship solo than it does when you outnumber it 5 to 1. I used to fly in groups and shudder fleets, but it's so damn boring, and there's little skill involved. The rush from a 1 vs 1 is unparalled, I only do group stuff with my corp to keep them happy. Even if it means I get far less kills, I'd take solo PvP over group PvP anyday....and it makes a better pilot of you. Getting a 1 vs 1 is tough, but learning how and where to find prey comes with experience. --------------------- Yes, I'm an alt. Bite me.
Shai Faetal	Posted - 2005.10.17 03:15:00 - [10] Originally by: Ginger Magician Solo pvp is for the elite of the game my friend Its a very difficult thing to do successfully dude - meh. go away (forum ***** wannabe)
Necrologic	Posted - 2005.10.17 03:26:00 - [11] Solo Pvp is very hard as has been said before, but it is alot of fun. I solo pirate/other types of pvp all the time, and i am highly succesful. I recommend an interceptor or cruiser/hac. Do NOT use a battleship. There are times solo when there is nothing you can do to prevent getting ganked (unless you are in a ceptor) and a flying a battleship makes this many times more likly. If you are going to solo, get alot of practice, and be prepared for losses.
Berilac	Posted - 2005.10.17 04:26:00 - [12] you can solo pvp, but it takes a lot more effort on your part in comparison to the fleet pvp you're prolly used to. Just make sure your setup is good, and choose your targets. I find ceptors are very good for solo pvp, because you can almost always choose what your going to engage. you can also go the "smartbombing bs" way, but thats really just fleet pvp on a very small scale, that is to say, just a ship that can't take out anything in its own class, even though it's very good against smaller targets.
Famine Aligher'ri	Posted - 2005.10.17 05:58:00 - [13] Yeah it is difficult if you are fighting people who are fitted for pvp. Not ganking weak pilots and claiming it's easy and elite. I recently went back to 0.0 and to where I originaly started to pirate. I wanted to do some more solo pvp and tactical operations for the fact I need to become a better fighter. The regions I solo in are heavly patrolled by F-E/PA/FOE and other pvp style corps/alliances. Having -7.1 or so security status doesn't leave me much umm protection even when I go into empire for supplies (Which is where most of the alliance members hang to buy theres). The main ship I fly in is an Wolf. The reasons for it are simple. It's an cheap ship that's pretty fast being it's an frig. With my setup I look to pop any Inty's/Assault Frigs/Tech1 Frigs/Cruisers. The tactics I use reflect my status of being the WOLF among the SHEEP. If I slip up, I could easily be caught in a 5 on 1 gangbang with my lovly pod being exploaded. So tip wise. BE careful where ever you go. The only time you fail is when you slip up. Don't try to jump into a system like 0.0 if you know it's being camped. Don't camp just one spot or the same spots at the same times every time. Don't expect people just to come to you. Know when to flee and how to take smack talk from people who are holding hands. Don't be affraid... I just fly around gate to gate, system to system. I see trouble where I'm out numbered. I run away like the cool guy I am. If I happen to roll up on some lonley sheep approuching a gate or something. I move in and lay the smack down or try too. The idea really is to be a ghost. -Famine Aligher'ri, of The Aligher'ri
Chode Rizoum	Posted - 2005.10.17 06:31:00 - [14] i solo alot... most bcus i cant be bothered talking on Teamspeak Teddycorp signature... By myal terego www.evepirates.com/
Macedon Jankolas	Posted - 2005.10.17 07:54:00 - [15] I do solo camping alot in my Tempest (i do not snipe). I miss alot of the small ships because they warp away very fast. I fly only mimatar ships so i dont know mutch about the rest. But i like Tempest alot, the 1400mm II gives alot of dmg in a very short time, and you can have a light shield tank for the sentrys. So most of the targets gose down very fast, even other Bs:s (if they are not heavely shield or armor tanked.
Christopher Multsanti	Posted - 2005.10.17 08:12:00 - [16] I also solo pvp when I get the chance. I enjoy it a lot, and you learn a lot about what can do. I luv small ships, inty's are the most fun ships in the game imo. Thorax FTW!
Mathias Orsen	Posted - 2005.10.17 08:29:00 - [17] I spend More than 90% of my time solo. So far the best I have taken on is two feroxes and a maller all set for PVP and I was in a brutix. They had decent setups. 1600mm plates on all of them and my brutix only had stock armor with 3 hards, med reeper II and small reeper II. There are a few keys to it. One, I owe most of my victories to my skills (t2 Blasters and t2 reepers). T2 blasters are about the best way to go IMHO. You also need explosive drones since most people defend against therm and kinetic. Anouther Key is to set up your ship with things that will be very effective such as multiple armor reepers on a brutix, medium and small. Really takes advantage of the reeper bonus. Nosf to counter nosf users and remove pesky frigates within it's range. One of the most important thing in solo PVP against multiple ships... You need to be able to kill your targets quickly. Even if you can tank 3 Battlecruisers with your BC cap will run dry and change those tides. If you can kill them quickly then 2 of 3 ships down makes it where your only taking 1/3 the damage as when you started combat.
Midori Blacke	Posted - 2005.10.17 12:37:00 - [18] Hey Shiva I'am interesting in those kind of activites too. Will contact you in game Um you are Euro, right? Midori
dalman	Posted - 2005.10.17 15:11:00 - [19] Solo PvP in a really expensive ship 50 jumps from closest friendly player for teh win! Drink up, shoot in. Let the beating begin. Distributor of pain. Your loss becomes my gain...
Shamis Orzoz	Posted - 2005.10.18 04:10:00 - [20] Solo PvP is very dangerous, but with the proper amount of skills and ship fitting it can be done. I'd recommend a vagabond, its the best solo PvP ship in my opinion, mainly because it can get away when they blob you, which they will.
Handon Guild	Posted - 2005.10.18 07:16:00 - [21] It's quite simple actually. If you are in a PvP corp, you participate in hunts or camps whenever there are any, and if there is noone to hunt with, you just fit a ship for solo and get to it. If you are solo-pvp'ing, it's a huge advantage to know the systems/region you are hunting in, and to have some experience in fighting and setting up your ship of course. Just do some solo, and even if it seems a bit difficult to start with, you'll get the idea eventually, and the mails will start flowing ------------------------------------------------ A day of fun in Denmark

Goberth Ludwig	Posted - 2005.10.18 16:38:00 - [23] If you reallyyy want to use a BS for solo btw, especially if far from empire and without instas, the only one that worked for me is the Scorpion, with a MWD and nanofibers in lows (others I tried that didnt make it include domi, arma and tempest). - Gob (also known as Admiral Goberius)
Dr jekyII	Posted - 2005.10.18 16:53:00 - [24] try camping other pirates systems and ransom the pods that get away,the ppl giving it in local from a ss. i'd pay loads to see their face when we de cloak
Jalia Kovac	Posted - 2005.10.18 18:09:00 - [25] Originally by: Ginger Magician "Ginger Magician is just infamous. I've met more people ingame that have talked about him, than anyone else in Eve." So the quoted person hasn't met very many people in EVE then?
Val Amon	Posted - 2005.10.18 18:28:00 - [26] I like attacking battlecruisers with my long range inty since if they fit things like blasters they are screwed.
Cummilla	Posted - 2005.10.18 18:58:00 - [27] Edited by: Cummilla on 18/10/2005 18:58:43 Unfortunately the scorp lacks the firepower to kill much of anything it's own size these days. But for infiltration and survival, it's right up there with a vaga.
Cummilla	Posted - 2005.10.18 19:03:00 - [28] Originally by: Chode Rizoum i solo alot... most bcus i cant be bothered talking on Teamspeak haha. yeah and that damn headset gets uncomfortable after awhile.
Shintoko Akahoshi	Posted - 2005.10.18 19:13:00 - [29] Most of my combat is solo. It's far more fun than camping, and I can avoid the "stupids" (I'm easily confused, if I try to talk and fight at the same time, I end up doing each poorly ). I'll admit that it's harder to do this now than it used to be, mostly because it's hard to find someone willing to fight without a strong advantage. I don't pirate, so I don't get anywhere near the 20-30 kills a day that people are tossing around. On the other hand, most of my fights are really exciting, because I'm typically fighting fairly evenly matched fights. Your best bet for getting into it is to use a T1 cruiser or interceptor. Fit it out for catching things, load up with your favorite pvp gear, and have fun
Shiva79	Posted - 2005.10.19 11:05:00 - [30] Shiva trys to push past Ginger magicians ego (struggles) Thanks for your advice folks i am gonna try getting a crow for now and see how that works out.
darth solo	Posted - 2005.10.19 12:10:00 - [31] Its all about trying to stack the odds in ur favour... Its also about not overpowering ur enemy straight away with having a bigger ship... u ideally need ppl to think they can win, so they engage you, otherwise they will just warp away. also a good idea is to find ur enemy in a station, fit for station combat, IE close range and undock, this will also give u a chance to redock if its something u cant handle. i get very few solo kills with darth as its very hard to get ppl to fight him without bringing friends. the top 10 pvper posts are amussing, being a good fighter is all about knowing when to stay, when to go, its about supperior skill points and game knowledge... the ppl whom are voted as the best solo pvpers, are usually the ppl that have lost the most ships on their killboards. solo pvp is possible, but dangerous. d solo.
Helpdesk	Posted - 2005.10.19 12:31:00 - [32] The problem with solo-pvp-ing in a ceptor is, in my opinion, finding others that are willing to fight. I usually don't mind fighting cruisers, as long as it's not a caracal or thorax (missiles and dronex make me cry :S as do 1600mm plates), AF's are too hard for me, as I noticed before (should try a jagerbomber one day) but fighting other interceptors is generally not a problem. They just don't want to fight and thus they warp off before you can get them (any interceptor can warp off from an other interceptor if they have half a clue). I have asked for 1v1's against other ceptors over 15 times the last 3 days and they all got rejected. I generally don't like fighting in fleets, thus I hunt solo... unfortunately my enemy doesn't quite share that opinion. Solo-ing in a random 0.0 place is possible and I found some nice places to do so, but remember that insta's make a huge difference if things are camped, even if you are only in an interceptor. Checking the map for kills in the last hour helps a lot when entering 0.0 too.

I use another char in celes for SOLO fighting, whom is a assault frig/hac specialist. darth is a battleship pilot with all his skills on that. 99 times out of 100 darths BS 1v1 fights turn into darth v 10... its not worth the risk... also everyone seems to use stabs on BS which makes engaging them a waste of ammo. And my ego is earned. its just a game, i aint afraid of anything in EVE. d solo.
FowlPlayChiken	Posted - 2005.10.19 13:57:00 - [37] I solo pvp. you just need a balenced ship and practice. know when to run. ect. for solo pvp, good ships are: Vagabond, thorax, deimos, ishtar*, crow. IMO. there are other good solo ships, but those are best IMO. and yes, i mention no bs for a reason.

Famine Aligher'ri	Posted - 2005.10.19 15:25:00 - [41] Yes, I'm stalking Darth Solo's every post. Yet when clicking on his recent posts. There is 1 post out of the what 10 or 15 up there that I replied to. Not only that, the one I posted before he posted. I had a dream he would post here, so I quickly locked onto this thread. The other posts he replied to. Well I replied to them! Really I did, with my alts. You cought me. How ever did you do it. Man I tell you what. Just keeps on getting smarter with every post. Seriously, think and use some common sense when posting. It helps really. I'm not lying to you. Try it Plim... -Famine Aligher'ri, of The Aligher'ri
Plim	Posted - 2005.10.19 15:30:00 - [42] The fact that you had posted previously in this thread irrelevent. It is the fact that you seem compelled to flame darth whenever you get the chance. It is funny that you state that darth has ego problems, then seem to be arrogant enough to act like he dosen't have a right to post his opinion. And I said you were stalking him simply because I remember you flaming him in a similar way in the past. -----------------

Famine Aligher'ri	Posted - 2005.10.19 15:56:00 - [46] Manà How can it be this hard to comprehend? I mean are you that slow where like simple things confuse you? Seriously, re-read the first post ôDarth Soloö made. Re-read what I quoted in reply to him saying, ôWhere did I show egoö? ItÆs not about just making statements because itÆs ôDarth Soloö. I could care less who he is or what he thinks he is. If anyone else posted it, the same comments would have been posted. Really, itÆs that simple. When someone comes on the discussion (Note: Discussion is what weÆre having now) and basically insults the first few posters on their advice to the original post. Then expect a bit of negative response (Note: The ego comment). I added some notes for you. So you could better understand. If you need help, please feel free to raise your hand. I will get to you. -Famine Aligher'ri, of The Aligher'ri

You had for what ever reason decided that darth dosen't solo, and that he therefore shouldn't post here regarding solo fighting, you also felt it nescesary to insult his ego. He corrected you. Clearly you believe yourself to be the fountain of all knowledge, maybe you should think things through before you post? Like maybe darth has more than one account? You are just an arrogant troll.

Malken	Posted - 2005.10.19 16:15:00 - [48] lol its Darths fanclub stalking him again
Lodhi	Posted - 2005.10.19 17:03:00 - [49] Once upona time there was a forum stalker named Famine Aligher'ri. Famine were not a clever one and often made a fool out of himselfe. Then one day he chose Darth Solo as his next victim. But lo and behold Darth had a bigger wang then Famine so he got scared and started to yap bout totaly random things. And from that day Famine Aligher'ri were known to all as a forum whoring litle retard. True story...
Shintoko Akahoshi	Posted - 2005.10.19 20:10:00 - [50] Originally by: Helpdesk The problem with solo-pvp-ing in a ceptor is, in my opinion, finding others that are willing to fight. That's exactly it. Aside from the occasional indy, most of my kills while solo happen when my enemy thinks that they can win. In other words, they decide that they are going to fight me. On the flip side, I end up losing my fair share of ships when I find that my enemy is right... The trick with looking "edible" is to be flying something that everyone "knows" is a poor warship.

Jesus man, it's like you had trouble playing tic-tac-toe didn't you? Darh Solo said the top 10 posts were amusing. That's why I said the ego comment. As for Darth being solo. I missed that little tid bit of information. It's hard to read such poor grammar. I guess either english isn't his first language or he is 15. But that doesn't matter. Darth Solo isn't solo. He has another char? snicker... Some people just need to get lives I guess. Someone posts with a big ego and insults some people. Then the clones get upset. I'm sorry I offended you Plim as well you Darth. I never talked to any of you before and I'm sorry I didn't get a chance too. I hope one day you guys will get out and meet some girls. Maybe that will ease your pain of thinking you're above everyone else in EVE. CheerS! I wont flame Darth anymore no matter what post he umm posts. Obviously he and his boyfriend over there can't handle it. Sorry I made you cry... Love, -Famine Aligher'ri, of The Aligher'ri
Plim	Posted - 2005.10.20 01:59:00 - [52] Oh dear a narcisistic person is writing personal insults about me on an internet forum, how unfortunate, I will swiftly dig my own grave. Wait no! You have just dug yourself a fresh hole, I can dive in there with you. Oh well I suppose you win Famine Aligher'ri, personal insults, and blaming a persons bad grammar is the strongest polemic I have ever seen on this forum, you are now a god among men -----------------

Berak FalCheran	Posted - 2005.10.20 03:16:00 - [55] Originally by: Macedon Jankolas I do solo camping alot in my Tempest (i do not snipe). I miss alot of the small ships because they warp away very fast. I fly only mimatar ships so i dont know mutch about the rest. But i like Tempest alot, the 1400mm II gives alot of dmg in a very short time, and you can have a light shield tank for the sentrys. LIES! Sniping is awesome. But if you aren't sniping: Dual 650s for the win man -- why would you fit 1400's if you dont want the range? :-( re: OP -- Solo PVP is the reason why EVE is the best game ever, mainly. Can't beat the adrenaline rush :) I recommend ceptors, btw. Originally by: Malthros Zenobia In short: Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.
Randay	Posted - 2005.10.20 20:21:00 - [56] if you can forsee the outcome of a battle before it even starts, you will have no problem being a solo pvper. also, you have to not care about losing ships. ------------------------------------------- "Det hõr kan betyda krig!"
Siren Shiva	Posted - 2005.10.21 08:12:00 - [57] I soloed in a rifter at under 1M skillpoints, then figured I dont find spending hours looking for something I can solo in a rifter very entertaining. I'll go back there when I can fly interceptors, and maybe have more than 2 or 3 in gunnery skills. Signature graphic removed, please mail us if you would like to know why -Zhuge

Siren if i were you id get back in that rifter find something large and fight it or buy a 24k slasher if your tight on isk, your be amazed at how some ships are setup. Heavy Missile ravens FTW!!!
Fedaykin Naib	Posted - 2005.10.21 19:43:00 - [59] Personally, if you want to get solo, 1v1s, as many people have said already, make yourself look weaker than target and you wont be denied. Just wanted to reiterate that. "Long Live the Fighters!" "The weak come and go with time. The strong have remained" - v ger
Mishima	Posted - 2005.10.22 06:25:00 - [60] 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

maximyus	Posted - 2005.10.22 11:27:00 - [62] Try an AF and go to low sec systems u will get into more fights than you think. If u are any good you will have good fights with other af's and should be able to take most cruisers,I even got a raven to struture last night but i had to warp away when i went on fire lol. or just gank haulers and bardges if thats your thing. TBH most people in this game reflect real life as in they are cowards and will only fight when the odds are in there favour, its good to see someway looking for 1v1 fights. Flame away like i care i do have a life get laid LOSERS ;p
Johnny Malloy	Posted - 2005.10.31 20:05:00 - [63] i really enjoy the solo PvPing and hunting that i've done,i've lost loads of ships along the way, but have had some good kills and excellent fights plus some great fun and met nice people along the way, the only downside has been the smacktalk i've had to put up with from people who can't handle losing or seem to have a personal dislike to pirates,(tho hatemail is funny!) but at the end of the day, the thrill of the chase and a good scrap make it all worth while, plus hopefully lots of loot. and my favourite ship would have to be a plated blasterax and lots of nasty drones:)

LoCho	Posted - 2005.11.01 03:43:00 - [67] Well my main has only done this setup with a megathron.... !!!warning very cheap!!! I fit 6 smart bombs perferably 7500k if u can affoard or amass them quickly. a whole bunch of warp core stabs perferably 6 :) but since u can only fly caladri u might have to scrap that but as many as you can fit. then choose what you want in the mid slots etc mabey this for back up launchers or cap II's since u will use tons of cap. Next choose your gate wisely I recomend book marking several locations around the gate at 250k or more away. Posistion yourself directly over the gate and face twoards one of your warp points so you can warp out quickly and not take much dmg if jumped. Any small ships insta jumping will be destroyed instantly most haulers will feel the effects fast. and insta jumping wont save you. It is the perfect solo gate camp. Be warned though most people consider this very cheap :D
Agricola Augusta	Posted - 2005.11.01 03:57:00 - [68] Originally by: Ginger Magician Solo pvp is for the elite of the game my friend Its a very difficult thing to do successfully So I guess this quote counts you out? Unless you meant popping reapers at a gate in an Armageddon makes you an elitist PVPer. BTW I heard you and Chery Muffinman got engage finally, congratulations I hope you find a Dreadnought big enough for both your egos.

Naphtalia	Posted - 2005.11.01 12:17:00 - [72] Mostly summarizing but for solo pvp: 1) make sure you can determine when you can fight. 1a) Fast lock to catch small ships Disadvantage: a ship with fast lock and tackle will lose vs the same ship with a ganksetup.. the targets you can take are less. 1b) A small ship to catch a bigger ship. Works pretty good, seen taranisses kill a BS, but a BS or Cruiser with antifrig setup is very dangerous. 2) Lame Duck Tactics. Basically counting on the enemy engaging you instead of locking the enemy that tries to run. Advantage, no fastlock or heavy tackle equipment necessary. 2a) Pretend to be afk or crashed... let them engage you, kill them. 2b) Fly a ship that is known to be vulnerable (kestrel, rifter, breacher, osprey, badger II work best) usually a cepterpilot which runs from another ceptor may engage a t1 frig for an easy kill, especially if you act like a noob. Make them agress and kill them. (Rax also works decently for killing BS, or Blackbirds to kill hacs) 3) Catch them on warpin... 20% of pilots don't have bms, make sure you scout them 1 system away and prepare to sit on the point they drop out of warp 1 system further. 4) Hunt haulers and miners... (look for belts, gateroutes with haulers, use an inty or or a rax to find a BS that is scrambled by inties shot at by BS and help the Guristas take him down)... Hope this helps.... between HLW and 0sht are pretty good areas for solo 0.0 pvp.

DeadDuck	Posted - 2005.11.02 12:37:00 - [77] Originally by: Shintoko Akahoshi Most of my combat is solo. It's far more fun than camping, and I can avoid the "stupids" (I'm easily confused, if I try to talk and fight at the same time, I end up doing each poorly ). I'll admit that it's harder to do this now than it used to be, mostly because it's hard to find someone willing to fight without a strong advantage. I don't pirate, so I don't get anywhere near the 20-30 kills a day that people are tossing around. On the other hand, most of my fights are really exciting, because I'm typically fighting fairly evenly matched fights. Your best bet for getting into it is to use a T1 cruiser or interceptor. Fit it out for catching things, load up with your favorite pvp gear, and have fun Well yesterday I had a lucky day in terms of solo pvp ... made 2 1vs1 duels and no ganking and no smack talk ... all honourable fightings to the end. Regarding the 20-30 kills per day ... I believe it, but I alsow believe that the big majority of those kills arent really pvp ... just attacks to unarmed ships or ganks Yesterday I alsow was ganked/poded by the 2nd time in 3 days, by the same corp, the same guy in the same place ). In the 1st time they were 4 and yesterday they were 8... They had the kill and the pod for the statistics ... but was it PVP ??? No way ...
