I'm looking to do some more solo / small gang stuff and my existing haunt of Black Rise is packed full of pilots with gang link alts and friends ready to say hello at a moments notice, and frankly, its a bit droll for just going out and having some solo fun in. I'm curious what other people think of the regions they play in, and I'm curious as they say, to perhaps find a region where its more shooting fish in a barrel rather than staring down the barrel of an auto cannon.
Like here for example...

Why can I never find these sort of pilots to play against? lol
Feedback welcome. "The game is mostly played by men - 97%. But 40% of them play as women... so thats fine." -á- CCP t0rfifrans-á |

Of course, the irony to this is that many consider FW space as the region where the ".... less skilled players live."
That and hisec.
And don't forget nullsec.
So yes, everywhere. High Five. Yeah! C'est La Eve . |

Having lived in both Minmatar FW space and gal/cal space, I'd say there is a greater concentration if unskilled players in black rise tbh. At the "competent or better" level you won't find much difference between either region, but it's easier to find bads in Black Rise. Barleguet is fun as you can sometimes catch bad BNI pilots there, you have to be careful of backup though as well as the higher skilled BNI pilots as well.
Essentially, there aren't really any regions full of bad pilots really. You can also try joining RVB as there are plenty of players learning PVP in that environment, but again you're still going to find skilled pilots there. |

I have to agree that while you were in Black Rise there were more bads.
Amazingly - when you left the problem seemed to resolve itself.

Less skilled players live in sov null, or to put in other words, sov null has the largest demographic of less skilled players. There's two reasons for this- nullsec recruits complete newbies from outside EVE, and the rest are ex-mission runners from hisec who think that null is where they need to go after two years of rescuing the damsel, and finally getting that X character skill level that magically makes them ready for PVP. Competent players invariably go to lowsec, whs or Syndicate.
Most of the time these guys spend running the same anomalies over and over again, rest of the time they spend waiting on a titan and pressing F1 in TiDi under the iron fist command of a raging neckbeard fail commander. However, just one TiDi F1 session has the potential to yield more kills than an active lowsec pilot gets in a week, and almost no losses ever.
This all results in 5-year old players with 98% KB efficiency resulting in massively blown out egos, tons of isk and no actual combat experience whatsoever- prime targets for your epic fantasy samurai solo PVP video.
With a caveat, and this is a unfortunately a big one- once a neutral enters sov null local, the entire region instantly docks up.
Those who don't JC to hisec to run incursions or L4s will stay docked up for days, spamming ASCII art through tears, making empty threats and mass posting AFK cloaking threads on EVE-O. If they would undock, they'd see that you aren't actually cloaked, but they aren't allowed to undock without FC with neutrals in system. I've personally never had the time or patience to actually wait them to come out, so someone else has to help you out on this one.
I've heard that if you log off and stay logged for a few days, eventually the greediest one just can't take it no more, and warps to an anom in his derpboat. If you kill him, and succeed in local smack, they go berserk and start whelping their failfits to you. FRAPS on, enjoy.

Scrubs are everywhere. If you kill the same scrubs over and over they just blob up or worse they refuse to fight at all. So really if you want some nice solo you'd have to keep it fresh and just move from area to area. Having a clone/base in blackrise, syndicate, and maybe even down around the amarr/minnie FW warzone as options once the fights run dry in your current area is a pretty good idea. This gives your targets the time for their balls to de-shrivelize while you're off ganking other people so they'll fight again once you make a rotation back to their area.
P.S. you could bring your vindi to eha but chances are you won't get a fight from the gallente, seeing as we have to essentially camp eha station to get fights some nights. You will, however, get a fight from us. We welcome faction battleships to our grid, especially macherials Project Cerberus is recruiting for the US Timezone, click here |

Thanks for the replies.
I agree you will always find bad pilots wherever you go, and in that sense my question was an oxymoron. Right now I'm based out of the station where Noime and Quantum Cats live, as that is where I based things after we joined Drunk and Disorderly, which sadly disbanded - great stuff while it lasted Tekitha.
I'd done quite a bit of PvP before I moved to Black Rise but damn, I got schooled the hard way (and best way perhaps?) in Black Rise. I've certainly seen some great pilots there, ideas, fits and bait traps excellently unravelled that I'd never seen before.
I agree entirely with Roime about low-sec. It seems to attract veterans more. Most new pilots just hear of EVE being this game that takes place in 0.0, given the increased press those fights get, and don't end up up learning solo / small gang stuff in the same way in low-sec. In a smaller gang, pilot skills are much more important, and that is something I found rough around the edges when I took people on who only had 0.0 experience.
And hey Super Chair, hope Faction Warfare is treating you still well. I'm hoping they iterate on it more before giving that a go again personally, as well as do more to get folks interested in low-sec. "The game is mostly played by men - 97%. But 40% of them play as women... so thats fine." -á- CCP t0rfifrans-á |

Given most of your kills have over 50-100 other people on the killmail, and you don't have a single solo kill, I think Roime might have a point about 0.0 pilots with over inflated egos. "The game is mostly played by men - 97%. But 40% of them play as women... so thats fine." -á- CCP t0rfifrans-á |

Given Test are already playing in Black Rise, get your solo fit and give it a whirl! I highly recommend the Talwar. Also, I'll happily take you out and go over fits if you are interested.

That really mad me laugh (and not in a mean way) so I give you a little more detail what I mean with easy mode regarding to low sec.
With no bubbles in lowsec, be it either drag bubbles or gatecamps, you are free to go where ever you want without much fear. Because if you are in something small and fast it's very unlickly to run i a gang that catches you, if you are in something cloaky even ist almost impossible to get caught. Big things, like BC or BS fleets on the other hand don't have to live in the constant fear of getting bombed. So if there was a reason to field them in low sec you could do it with a lot less trouble than in null.
Its a very nice change when you come there from null but its dangerous if you get used to it and then for example fly around to some ccp live event while doing something else not paying attention and suddenly wonder how the **** you landed in a drag bubble and people are locking you...not that this happend to me
