Hi again, long time
EVE FILES (incoming) YOUTUBE (Please watch in 1080p!!)
Size: 564mb Length: 24:29 Resolution: 1080p for Youtube with the black bars. If those bug you, wait for the EVEfiles download. (apologies in advance for my terrible computer and graphics)
This video has 1 fight of Myrmidon and the rest is entirely Omen Navy Issue. I wish I could give you a more diverse ship roster but I could only get reasonable fights in the Nomen. Also it's a blast to fly. This is the most kite-y video I've ever made, and I'm not sure if that's exciting or not. But if you think you can stand 20 minutes of me zooming about avoiding stuff, please proceed.
Solo is "true" solo, no links fancy stuff etc. End gang fight has links.
SOMER Blink If you've still never heard of these guys I would be really surprised. They've been supporting me, other pvpers, AT teams, and media producers for a long time, and they absolutely deserve a visit. Have fun, win some crazy ships, and it looks like they are closing in on 1 QUADRILLION isk won, which will mean a crazy party. Check them out at the link above.
Track List: Call of the Wild - Die Toten Hosen Don't Let Me Down (remix of the Beatles) - Gramatik No Diggity (remix of Blackstreet) - Extraordinary Magnitude Fortune Days (remix of Glitch Mob) - Virtual Boy 1977 - Ana Tijoux Good Evening Mr. Hitchcock - Gramatik

I usually lurk, but GOOD LORD KOVORIX U ARE WAY TO BOSS FOR THIS GAME I think I literally had to clean myself up twice, the curse fight, holy bawls that was so close, if you hadn't overloaded the cappo youda been dead. Im glad they fixed the overload cappo bug where it cycles then says lolnoep.
again. wow, this is like prom level next level stuff here man. only reason I keep throwing myself out there to the mercy of the eve is because of vids like this, proving that although difficult you can fight outnumbered, without links (albeit snakes kiiiinda are similar to loki links), without metagaming, just plain piloting skill.
thank you |

Well the number is .076 mate, and has been that way for some time - the zealot has always been a good anti-tackle ship with the exact same range and stats. Was it OP before?
It doesn't track as well as you think. Certainly a good inty pilot will avoid most damage - observe the Ares during the gang fight, he's very difficult to take down and not just because of the logi. An inty in a 20k orbit can't be hit, and takes quite a few heated mwd cycles to break the orbit.
Far more valuable than a TE of TC is the nanofibre + Locus II rig, which adds 5k to the optimal, making it 40k+5. Most frigates simply aren't expecting high volleys at that range, hence the failure to create transversal. Burning directly away and heating the guns gives plenty of time between 40k and 10k for a dead frig. |

he was bouncing between approach and keep at range and was very careful to not create any additional transversal vel. You wouldn't hit anything if you would orbit. Not to mention that the omen goes 2.5km/s without heat, so if you run away from the fight the tackler will have to chase you which makes them an easy target, once its dead you approach again.
so, if something is op its the agility of the ship, not the weapon given that a single crucifier would have spoiled all the fun ;) eve style bounties (done) dust boarding parties imagine there is war and everybody cloaks - join FW |

I mostly agree with what you're saying - 0.0 has a lot of pretty bad pilots compared to low sec, and there are a few fights in the video that I feel a bit dirty including because of clearly poor fits and flying, namely the Co2 one.
However, there are VERY few interesting fights in solo pvp videos that are against competent pilots, and this is especially true when flying without links. I had a number of fights in 0.0 against better gangs in the last month, and while they are a blast to have, they make for very boring fraps - kind of like fighting a brick wall. Competent gangs fly consistent and smart setups. A lone talos would never be caught 70k away from the gang, tacklers are more crafty, and they adapt by bringing counters like rapiers/sentry domis (ugh). The result is kind of like a sparring match, where tackle dies sometimes and that's about it.
That said, I believe there is a certain skill in drawing out bad decisions and stupidity from gangs (just ask Aldap ).
Thanks for the feedback, it's definitely something I have mixed feelings about. |

Please ignore the elitist sentiment W0lf gives off. He deliberately posts in this style to elicit a response (trolling).
This was another excellent video and I like how you seem to effortlessly showcase the effectiveness of a particular ship or fit. I have no idea how much time went into getting the footage you have but you do seem to be able to draw the very best out of a setup. That's why your vids are so enjoyable, not because they feature perfect performances against high-tier players exclusively. You consistently solo (proper solo, not baddie linked solo) against the odds. Even if it's against poor pilots, their numbers really work to their advantage so don't be put off by snide posters who have yet to prove their own competence

I think you're being pretty unreasonable here - while there are plenty of videos that show off good tank module management ('brawling cs/bs vs gatecamping retards' mk 239892), and substantially less that demonstrate good position control (brutis's saga, i beast's dishonour), in this one he has to do both at the same time. Probably the only more command-per-minute intensive ship typically seen in videos is the 100mn AB active tengu (for all the hate that it gets, it is a ship which requires a lot of clicks to control when AB is active).
Is there some alternative world in which someone could make 100% of the correct piloting / mod management decisions and thus take more aggressive fights (than shown in this video) with the nomen without dying in a fire? maybe. But I think that's a fairly ridiculous standard to hold video makers to. |

Nicely done,
the fights are top. Editing is Kovorix style. I like that. Sometimes due to the nature of skirmish it is difficult for the viewer to get all the information and follow the zooming and rotation. But that's a matter of the Eve interface.
Maybe you want to have a look at that proposal concerning this issue:
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3439106#post3439106
But where do you find all those nice small gangs. Was trying to find a fight like that for the last weeks, but only encountered large gangs or people fielding falcons. Maybe I'll have to look around in some other areas like you did. My past video(s): DRONE HARASSMENT My latest video: V.Ex.o.R. |

Very nice fights. I have two questions
1) I Notice you appear to be using hotkeys for alot of modules, am i just missing the clicks? If you are, then what hotkeys are you using? Because Ive been meaning to start using them but find it hard to find any keys im comfortable using as hotkeys in eve.
2) In the last fight with links, was it just loki links or was it loki + legion links? |

But I think that's a fairly ridiculous standard to hold video makers to.
Yes, don't misunderstand me, it's a good, even a very good video. Maybe I was to harsh, it's just that the piloting isn't mind boggling awesome and the fits are nothing new and unheard of, which for me would be a 10/10. Don't know.
I would probably have been nicer to this video if it wasn't made by a top tier video maker. |

1) Yes I hotkey all the modules. I use hotkeys like this:
highs: qwert meds: asdf lows: zxcvb
and I used ctrl for heat.
but other people do them different ways too. Takes surprisingly little time to get used to, I recommend it.
2) We had loki and legion links.

Great video, Kovorix. Couple questions though, if you can find the time to answer.
Firstly, hotkeys. I take it you're not text chatting much while you're pvping, so you can afford to use them? Also, it's just qwert, no modifier key such as alt or ctrl or anything?
Secondly, a more technical question: As someone who's flown that ship extensively, what do you think is an effective counter to a similarly fit NOmen? And if you find it difficult to think of a counter, would that, in your opinion, make it imbalanced?
Thanks again for posting such a great vid, there's hope for solo yet! I don't always post on the forums, but when I do, I prefer posting with my main. |

I take it you're not text chatting much while you're pvping, so you can afford to use them? Also, it's just qwert, no modifier key such as alt or ctrl or anything? Secondly, a more technical question: As someone who's flown that ship extensively, what do you think is an effective counter to a similarly fit NOmen? And if you find it difficult to think of a counter, would that, in your opinion, make it imbalanced? Thanks again for posting such a great vid, there's hope for solo yet!
Know you are asking the OP..
But honestly... A TD with a range script will make a NOmen useless.
So grab any fast ship that excels at brawling, slap a TD on it... and burn towards the NOmen. If they realize what you are doing they will try to leave.. If you catch them you got a dead NOmen.

Yeah that's it with the hotkeys :)
As far as counters, yeah there are a number. As diesel said, a TD is troublesome, although 1 on an undedicated ship isn't the end of the world (i've had to deal with that).
A cynabal with a web and scram and neut would give a lot of trouble if it got tackle early. Also anything with high native EM resist - a vagabond with a scram is certain death for a nomen, and jaguars/wolfs suck to deal with if flown well. Loki as well. Rapiers of course and anything with sentries these day :) |

Incredible video. Watched it at least 10 times now, and I'm glad you're back! True solo pvp is something great, and I hope people will realize it isn't quite dead!
Looks like I'll be spending a lot of my time coming up with ways of applying your tactics to a bunch of ships and figuring out ways to counter them :D

There is a difference in asking how to counter this ship with or without links, without links you can just use a harbi or a arty cane or a good vaga/cyna, hell even a non ****** absolution can usually easily kill a Nomen, reason beeing is that point rnage forces a omen up close, into unbonused scorch range. A shield harbi will rip the Nomen a new one in seconds, same with a good flown vaga or cynabal.
In the end the Nomen is a cruiser with 400dps and 16k ehp with a 250dps tank for 1 minute that then turns to a 86dps tank. That really isnt hard to beat, no links means this is forced into 28km and at that range a lot can kill it.
Now if you fly it with links the Nomen can abuse its range, at 42km there is a whole lot less that can do real dps and its a whole lot harder to kill, while a ac shield cane can winat 28km at 40km its without a chance.
And as the rest already mentioned, tds can kill at as can a good fast frigate. Hell, a single (linked) dual td condor could solo one half afk.
And lets not forget the talos and co, a single good flown shield talos would rip the Nomen apart in seconds, (which in turn really shows how bad his opponents really were).
Dont think just because you see him doing these things you can easily hop into one and do the same (which, seeing recent Nomen losses and prices quite a lot of people assume), you need to have the talent to find really bad opponents, in Fw space everything will force you to land on 0, where they will rip it appart, and dont forget links and such, a linked ceptor will have you scrammed/nosed before you can even lock it. You will get swamped by tds, and so on.

This part i disagree with, having flown against a number of taloses, and not just terrible ones. They won't track you within 15-10k, and 1km/s margin gives you enough to stay there reliably with some piloting. It's not a sure thing by any means, but i'll engage a lone talos or tornado any day in the nomen.
And honestly most of the stuff you mention gives the ship plenty of opportunity to simply leave, except i guess the condor but why would you fight those anyway? It's an amazing roaming ship because, like any nano-ship, you can leave when too many counters hit the field. I've only lost it by being an idiot (around 15 times now ).
Just because many of the opponents in the video weren't challenging the ship, it doesn't mean it's not an extremely flexible and fun ship for 0.0 combat with a huge engagement envelope. Of course I'd never warp it at 0 in a FW plex, and I hope nobody else would either. |

Not saying its bad, just saying that those ships can win or at least force itoff.
A a heating talos burning away from the Nomen will track it nearly perfectly. |

Well it all depends on where and how the engagement starts, since the nomen had damned well better be heating too. Again not saying it's a sure thing, but it's a fight I would take every time. |

That poor curse almost had you, that was a great 1v1, real surprised you managed get enough cap from your booster to get those crucial reps and actually hit it in time. |

why not)))))
pretty sure in nomen vs curse you want to be at point-blank range - 0 km or 37.8 km, the curse will still be able to neut, so might as well do most damage. |
