I fly solo in LS. Just use FW to make isk at the same time.
I get 1-4 fights a night most times. i fly ships that people think they have an advantage over. Not to mention are intended for anti-blob. Will gank something 1v1 without issue normally. But against multiple targets, becomes very entertaining. I killed a confessor and a tristan when a damnation landed 100km from me, and a few seconds after i popped a tristan, a vargur landed 40km from me. Talk about an ass clenching experience. But i killed a 120m worth in a 70m ish fit bc, in a fight. I love fighting blobs. They ALWAYS engage. If its an obvious loss, then yea, ill run. Not handing out free KM. But if its 4-6ships, ill consider it.
EVE is just as much psycological warfare as it is tactical. Let them see you, follow you. Let them think youre just another bad. Then decimate and profit. |

FW does not give real challenge for anyone so better to look for something else.

There are fights out there to be had. Just know that nearly everyone who is decent at PVP is going to have links, and if you want a fair fight you should have links, implants, and as many SP as the other character.
Eve isn't about Fair fights, FW isn't about fair fights, IMO the best thing you can do is not expect a 1v1 to be "fair". There isn't really a fair fight out there against a worm, lol but I will still take a fight against it because sometimes I get lucky. If you really want fair fights you can always arrange one in RvB.
Instead of complaining about links, or blobs or stabbed farmers, I think the best way to look at it is to learn your local area, and learn who does what. I know full well the sort of people who I can probably get a solo fight from in a plex, and I know most of the people who are going to warp the second I am on Dscan, and I know the people who regularly fly in a fleet only and don't solo. Intel is a huge part of eve, and if someone isn't a viable target, just stop whining move on and find someone to fight. |

oh please. Stop throwing this around. Just stop.
It makes you look like a scrub making up excuses to anyone with a minimum of combat experience out there.

I solo'd six ships last night in a hour and 15 minutes using a T1 destroyer. Fights included, 1 v 1, 1 v 1, 1 v 2, 1 v 4, 1 v 5 (no kills but almost got one of them), and 1 v 2 again.
No links were used in the making of this program. |

I continue to read this concept that solo pvp is dead, etc. It's not. If you think that it'll be readily available - your wrong. Yes you have to be persistent and yes you will get blobbed from time to time - but sometimes you'll find good ole 1v1 goodness. At which point you'll discover if he's linked or not. Tbh me and mine don't get caught up in KB mania, some folks do - so choosing the right corporation makes a huge difference in a pilots in game experience.
I also agree that a lot of farmers in Eve flee PVP - but stuff like that occurs in sandboxes. I have also found that Eve has it's own unique doldrums or slow periods. Call it the suck or what you will, but you just have to grind thru it. Eventually the winds pick up.
Also a fights a fight - so shoot more than flashy orange. Don't AWOX - but neuts often bring the best fights. I guess what I'm saying is don't limit your opportunities for pewage.
I've personally seen more Miniturd activity - so our zone seems to be showing a bit more health.

Solo is not dead by any stretch of the imagination. I have been mainly a solo PvP player once I got past my first few months of FW. I get plenty of 1 v 1 and 1 v many fights almost every night I undock. You just have to understand that you are going to die a lot.
As for links, I sometimes fly with links as a counter to pilots I know are linked, in 1 v many situations, and when I am fighting a ship class above. Before I had a link alt I was consistently accused of using links any way. I still die just s much as before links but now its because I take fights that are beyond the realistic engagement envelop of what I am flying and not so much because I am out linked any more. You can't really complain about links when I engage 2-3 destroyers in a Navy frig or when I land a HAC in the middle of an AF fleet just to see if I can survive.
Most solid solo PvPers are really not looking for that easy kill, those are not much fun. It's the tough kills or tough fights that provide the entertainment value. |

if that's true then you must be bored as **** spending all the time you do gankbearing in a sebo'd arty thrasher. hi, killboards are public, we can see what really happens.
There's nothin' like skating away from a fight with the hull on fire, some mods burned out and a cargohold full of loot.

You mean my opinion, might make people think poorly of me on the internet? This cannot be! I am so worried about people thinking I am a scrub I am gonna just rat up my sec status and start mining. |

at the present moment, I'm not experienced enough to solo, but I find it hard to rally up any group, mostly due to lack of experience leading. I feel like I'm just handing out killmails and occasionally murdering someone slightly more incompetent than myself.
at least T1 is cheap... though when you fill them with T2 modules, I start to question if is even worth it in the end.
if anything though, everyone seems to love to shoot me because they know I['m an easy kill |

With all due respect , one novice plex ( offensive) at tier 2 lp gives you more then enough money to fully tech2 fit a t1 frig.
And on the same subject , i've seen enough meta4 fits that work.
You will never be good at solo unless you practice and a 5-9 mil frig ( avarage value of a t2 fit + hull ) is not expensive at all even for a begginer . You just gotta start with fighting the same class and tech...which brings me back on topic, not enough people out there.

I'm not actively involved in the faction warfare scene, just using the space itself as a hunting ground while not actually part of a militia. Depending on if my corp's CEO comes back after the holidays like he claimed he would, I might just annex the corp hangar and go join in earnest instead of afk incursioning then blowing up to the tag of 3 mil a pop.
as for the number of people bumping around in the area, most of them have friends, or know what they're doing. and almost all of them seem to capitalize on my chosen ship's weaknesses, which mostly means blueballs of handing out killmails while I wonder what combination of gimicky fit, skill training, and pvp sense will let me take them on.
I really need some friends |
