No this aint a whine, you got ganked bwahh thread 
Just i feel soloing is becoming a pretty boring, non existant and rather difficult. Targets are not readily available, ive spent hours hunting for stuff sometimes. Then when you do find them they either have friends on the other side of the gate, or they have cynos for caps and bops and you get ganked. Its almost impossible to escape due to people having scrams, webs, neu
ts and jams when getting ganked amongst other things. Unless you have 5 accounts multiboxing is almost not a good hing to be doing.
Just be interesting to hear what people think on this subject |

How is it the attackers fault if the defender refuses to defend himself?
By that argument once to web tackle and ECM a target the battle ceases to become PVP
You dont accept a suicide gank as PVP, but instapopping a Scanner boat with a bomb is?

Player(s) versus player(s), or PvP, is a type of multiplayer interactive conflict within a game between two or more live participants. This is in contrast to games where players compete against computer controlled opponents, which is correspondingly referred to as player versus environment (PvE).
Now understanding this definition, two players can engage in "PvP" irregardless of ship types. So yes, suicide ganking is PvP.
'Lemme break out the crayons for ya.
Ummmmm......
Multiplayer. Check.
Interactive. Check.
Conflict. Check.
"Two or more." Check.
Live participants. Check.
So yea, PvP. Check, check, check.

Could someone please explain what "Rifter Drifting" refers to as I haven't seen that before?
My guess would be something like: "take a frigate and roam space until you find target. Called rifter drifting because the rifter used to be the best ship for this back in the day" or similar ? |

If you're looking for a serious answer,and I take it you're talking the '1v1 both ships combat fit and readyGäó" solo PvP then try out Faction Warfare. You will still get blobbed, blueballed, and falcon-alt-ed, but it sill offers more opportunities of your vision of solo pvp then most other areas.
Ok now that nice me is done . . . Predditor hunting Prey is 99.9% of the solo pvp out there (and personally my favorite). With as big as Eve is the likelyhood of two roaming pilots looking to get a gudfite is slim to none.
Honor is a fools prize.

I need to start doing that again. Maybe I'll solicit the locals to sing songs of my choosing to get me to leave and record it all for........

We (Tri) have a phrase for people that solo pvp. "Frequent visitors to jita".
May ECM ships forever be the answer to the question " is solo pvp a good thing?"

Honestly I have never had much taste for solo PvP. Now duo PvP.. two people in two different ships and covering the others weaknesses is some of the best fun to have in PvP. Especially when the pilots know each other really well.
Solo PvP is nice and all... but a duo and small gang is where it is at in my opinion, it gives you much more of an experience than solo.
So is solo dead? no..
Is it not common? yes..

Solo PvP takes a lot of patience, hence why its so rare among the EVE community. It is fun and rewarding when it does pay off. Sometimes its enough even if you don't get a kill out of it, but come out on the better side and they have to run. Other times its somewhat amusing to have the tables turned and become the hunted. Lots of times, you got to do a lot of prep work to lay the ground for a single encounter, yet you can't let your own activities become a recognizable pattern.
Often its a complex game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. If you want to win, you got to figure out what they like to choose.
Few people understand the psycology of a highway traffic cop. Your average speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow. |

Yeah I don't cout ganking as pvp. The chance to defend? When you do 3-4 collies and pop the lowest income class in the game using a corpmate or isoboxing there's hardly a chance for defense. Which I've also see mission ships ganked tank on my 10-11 cata, lasted as long as a miner or freighter does regardless And not a lot of defense going on against alpha.
Gankers just come from wow to get more tears because the people they kill in town only has to walk back to the body.

I can only give 1more advice apart from what the rest already said.
Try to find out where like minded people live in low sec, form a kindah "friendship" with them. Cause if you get or ask for a nice 1v1 most of the time people will honor it and if they see you hanging there often pretty soon ull have all the fights ud want. Thats pretty much what i did with a gal mil corp. Granted they still wanna gank my ass from time to time but hey thats the game,can't help it :)
Fw is good for this stuff , roam around the citadel/black rise region. Those are good spots but just to be sure to keep away from the so called "leet" pvp entities like assbox and such. These people will say they will give you a fight but in reality they are just ******** who always bring somethin that drasticaly counters your set up or blob or use links etc etc you get the ideea
