Read up on faction warfare plexes

They are the solo pvpers friend. Also ignore all the bads that think solo pvp isn't viable.

Viable if you like fighting in frigs dessies and looting nothing worthwhile. Personally I'd rather shoot scord with a basic mining laser and I have't mined since 2003.

Because pvping for fun is totally a silly idea right?

Pointless frig pvp is not solo. Its not even pvp. The ultimate in bad is no risk frig pvp with a 1:1 kill average. Go hunting in a worthy ship like a 2 billion isk T3 and you'll understand. Until then you may as well be dropping cans in a rifter outside Jita or Rens.

Solo is far from dead and FW space is the place it is most active in!

Ignore all the bad claiming otherwise. You don't need anywhere near max skills or expensive ships or any of that **** to have fun AND be viable.

Check out any of the FW/pirate blogs and see how they have been doing this stuff for years. The metagame changes in time but you just adapt and keep on having fun. This is EVE you play it YOUR way not some bittervet's who stuck in their ways and don't have the ability to overcome problems so they just crap up the forums putting off the newer players from going out and just trying stuff!

You sure talk a lot of trash for someone with 1 bill destroyed in total and those were relatively pathetic griefing ones in high sec..

Dare i say another pathetic forum alt? because i'm not quite sure what would be worse, lording about pvp when you know nothing about it or not having the stones to post on your main.

As for a 1:1 average frig pvp.. I average about 10:1 these days and getting 20:1 on good ones.

(Also, pssst, can dropping doesn't actually work anymore)

I don't care about you or your opinion or epeen number crunching. I play for me, I pvp for me. You don't matter unless your on my list of war targets.

Your list of war targets in 2009?

Pro tip, if you don't want epeen crunching, don't take yours out and wave it around like you're the **** when you are basically a carebear.

There is nothing inherently wrong with wanting to go for bigger targets (Although tbh high sec isn't where you get the truly big targets). But trying to lord over what is and isn't propper pvp when you have hardly pvped at all/Won't post with your main is pretty close to the definition of silly.

To be a bit more "constructive" ...

@ TE You're not doing it wrong and you're doing it wrong at the same time. You just don't get many fights roaming around anymore because almost no one else does. The "vets" amongst PvP'ers rarely leave their home system and prefer to gank the sh*t out of passing travellers (be it solo PvP'er, noobs or PvE'er), therefore crippling low-sec population to where it is now. Which is the second reason for the lack of targets.
Either you keep on roaming over huge distances to get a fight (where the outcome isn't determined before aka bait/cyno/blob) now and then, or you try to hunt your targets in a more aggressive manner (scanning them down) or you play the bait yourself and kill at least one of your targets before you die horribly

You're a few years too late to get PvP by roaming through New Eden.
