Suicide ganking

Right, kill the miner/industrial before the "concorded" countdown is over. If that's what you call PvP, then yes, solo PvP is dead

when was it ever alive?

No

Bombing scanners (All Scanners Must Die)

Bombing WH interlopers (See above)

Suicide ganking

Rifter Drifting (still viable)

Escape? Its a bonus tbh

What you call solo PVP, I call AFK cloaking.

And it's doing just fine. Far from dead.

Oh look mom! There are still people left who don't know what PvP means!

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.

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

Yeah solo pvp still exists id assume you just have to make it quick before it becomes 10vs1.

That's part of the gruond work. Watch who frequents local, who are they together with? Check out the POSes, see who they belong to, check the POCOs. Check corp stats, current wars, you name it.

Know thy enemy...

Also set a precendent for yourself. Sometimes it may be worth losing a few ships to see what they got, what they like to do. Cheap frigs or industrials. Ventures are good for this. You might want to pretend to be more noobish, get caught with a bad fit, you know, lasers on a rifter, that sort of thing. Do a bit of mining, you'd be suprised how uncareful some people get if they think they can get a quick "carebear" kill.

I always reccomend to people to read the old "EVE's guide to piracy" lots of the standard tactics and necessary knowledge. Stuff there that's need to know even if you don't want to specifically PvP so you can save your own tail if you're the hunted.

For the newbie reading this: I got hundreds of safe spots planned out in null sec, low sec, high sec and WH space. If you don't know what a safe spot is and you're reading this, you have your first bit of homework if you want to survive EVE.

This is a PvP mmo. You have no right to be left alone. You consent to getting killed by overwhelming odds by undocking. You have no valid claim to one on one PvP. Stop trying to change the game to fit YOUR playstyle. Stop trying to make this a themepark. If you want one on one PvP go back to WoW.

Solo PVP isn't dead! You just need to make sure you have your booster, remote rep, cyno, and emergency Falcon alts logged in and ready before you do any solo PVPing.

You broke my heart, you really did.
I was looking forward to some solo FW.

HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW HUH?

Despite the drivel you got in response from the know-it-all children that play EVE today, the reason there's no solo pvp is largely due to the introduction of the things you listed there. They enable these children to "play AT" pvp thinking that's what they're actually doing. In a fair fight, they run to mommy.

CCP took the "fair" out of the "fight" to pucker up to these asses.



There you go.

[Industrials have lots of ways to combat this type of PvP(fitting differently, watching local, D-scan and hiring a bodyguard).

Bolded the best part. U so funny.

Stick to ganking miners.

PvP in Eve starts when you are fitting your ship and undocking. Industrials have lots of ways to combat this type of PvP(fitting differently, watching local, D-scan and hiring a bodyguard). Just because they opt to not do any of these things and are helpless when the catalyst engages, doesn't mean its not PvP.

Its no different than combat ship v combat ship. There are tons of unwinnable fights because on guy fit the wrong modules.

Edit: To add, if you are looking for a 1v1 against an equal opponent, join a tournament. Roaming low sec is the wrong way to do it.

For example, very different methods are used hunting for Ratters and Miners then the methods used to hunt for fleets that may be getting around in the same region or a region away from you.

Also, be smart about what ship and fitting type you are getting around in. Don't always use cookie cutter fits, mix it up where necessary depending what type of target you are hunting.

Don't listen to these fruit loops telling you "Solo PvP is dead" and "Eve is not a solo game."

I was about to horribly pervert that. Yeah solo pvp still exists id assume you just have to make it quick before it becomes 10vs1.

Wait, have we brought up dueling and suspect flags yet or is all this about roaming in low/null looking for fights?

Solo pvp is not and never has been about 1v1's. It's always been about ganking unsuspecting targets (miners, ratters, anom runners and so on) or fighting 1 vs many. Admittedly the "many" have tended to get quite a lot bigger in recent years and the unsuspecting are rarer, but it is still possible.

In any case, you have to forget about the notion of good and reasonably fair fights. Eve hasn't allowed for that since I started playing many years ago. The extent of honor here is the "honorable' won't outright lie to you. Beyond that anything goes.

My own solo pvp record is, depending on how you look at it, either 23 vs me or 12 vs me. In the 23 vs me I killed 2 and escaped. In the 12 vs me I killed half and held the field. That is solo pvp at its finest (curse flown in both cases). Typical solo pvp is more like me running out in a heretic and blapping a venture mining in a gas site in w-space. Is it fair or even much of a fight? Absolutely not. Is it solo pvp? Most definitely.
