Yes CCP do hate solo PvP and have tried as hard as possible too eliminate it from the game. To the point that most of your solo fights will be duo fights with one char offgrid boosting.
I found that the best way to solo is war deccing. It eliminates a lot of the anti solo nerfs CCP made. Dec a large alliance 1000 or more, use a scout, find missioners with locator agents, kill missioners by probing them out or waiting other side of mission hub gate.
Pros -
Off grid boosting less of a problem while theyre travelling
Baiting less of a problem
No gate gun aggro
You'll always have targets and with locators you know exactly where they are
In high people are more spread out and less likely to be two jumps away ready to assist
Local is not a super early warning system as much, its clogged with peeps
Cons
Requires intel gathering
Requires access to locators
Requires scout
Cant shoot everyone
Nuetrals
You will get hunted by fleets

Is this normal or am i doing something wrong??? 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?
Fun is fine. Claiming throw away frig or dessie consentual pvp means solo in EvE is alive and well is not though. You can solo in a cruiser and up but the odds your coming home in a pod is about 50/50 cruiser with the odds increasing as the hull gets larger so its not a viable career path in EvE.
To put it in perspective if missions / incursions / plexes / WH or whatever else people in game use to make isk had the same odds of ship destruction they would not be considered viable careers.

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. |

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. |

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.
What part of I dont care about your opinion don't you understand? Shouldn't you be increasing your 10:1 frig duelling stats or something ;)
My stats are 7:1 and I fight solo, entire alliances around 1000 vs me. And I do it in billion isk ships. My bio pretty much sums me up. |

So basically you're a Gankbear who is scared of actual PVP and wants to farm no-risk ganks on unsuspecting PVEers? I see.
No not really. I have pirated in low. Pirated in null. Done null sec camping with Stain way back. Pointless and stupid killing randoms. High sec wars are the most interesting because the people you kill know youre hunting them, after a few easy kills you have to use skill, stealth, intelligence and guesswork to catch them. Its a lot more technical and tactical than random roaming ganking a target of opportunity while your corpmates hold your winky for you. Only real test of skill can be had solo while fighting outnumbered 1000+/1 and winning.

Done null sec camping with Stain way back. Founded Privateers and did a bit of group roaming with that. Its boring killing randoms. High sec wars are the most interesting because the people you kill know youre hunting them, after a few easy kills you have to use skill, stealth, intelligence and guesswork to catch them. Its a lot more technical and tactical than random roaming ganking a target of opportunity while your corpmates hold your winky for you. Only real test of skill can be had solo while fighting outnumbered 1000+/1 and winning. I'd rather kill 1 lion in a straight fight than hunt 1000 rabbits.
Do what floats your boat I guess. Finding a lion thats willing to straight fight you without dropping a whole pride on top of you is gonna be tough though. |
