If the dude with 70 mil has industry and science skills and just recently skilled up his cruiser he can easily be the one roflstomped.
A character with 5 million SPs focussed in the ship he's flying will have a more than even chance against a character who has 100 million, only 4 million of which are applicable to the ship they're in.
A character with 5 million SPs and the Player skills to maximise their ship will make a 50 mil SP "combat specialist" who doesn't into a comedy kill-mail.

You will lose ships as you're learning - so choose cheap ships and lose them. Lose ten or so and you'll probably be getting close fights, lose twenty and you'll be winning some of them - even if you're opponent is ten years old.

People who appreciate solo content came to the forum, were told to leave EVE, they aren't welcome.

So they did.

Did they?

Some left the content, others left the game entirely. Either way you are left with the blobs and that second M in MMO. Funny thing about the second M in MMO though, try account sharing, see where it gets you.

A few of you know me, most prolly dont, I have lived in Placid and Black Rise (Gal/Cal FW space) for over 2 years now and the last few months there has been a major decline in solo fighting, compared to what it use to be its practically non-exsistant. Its become more of a blob fest of null sec style. Now some time last year some there was a lot of whining and crying about cloaky warp stabbed ships and how they should be banned some how and make the plex rats respawn like crack addicts to encourage more solo pvp, will how did that work out for ya? most of you prolly arent even in low anymore prataking in solo pvp are ya? (most prolly werent even out here to begain with) at the time people that lived out here said it was a bad idea with loads of reasons why and just about all of them came true didnt they?

I for one would like to see the glory days of low sec fighting return but it means kill board ***** mite have to get alittle butthurt once in awhile cause there may be a player thats doesnt want to get insta popped to their 3 times boosted deadspace fit whatever ship and just simply cloaks or warps off. OOORRRRR we continue to slowly bleed low sec solo players and pretty much become just another null sec region with out the sav.

I really love saying this in game and RL but WE TOLD YOU SO! :P

yes half the words are prolly misspelled but i dont care,

A solo player can beat a whole corp. Indeed solo players have been known to defeat multiple corps at once!

I'm guessing multiple players are involved?

No, I think you are just missing Sibyyl's point a bit.

She wasn't saying there is no solo, just that complaining about the lack of solo in an MMO doesn't make much sense.

And you are missing my point, that there is no lack of solo.

No, not at all. I know there is a lot of solo.

Totally different point.

If I see players implying that you can't solo in EvE I will challenge it. The post I replied to implied that.

Except that's not what Sibyyl was saying.

But epeening is boring. Is kind of silly.

Epeen what?

I disgree with any point you are making (whatever that is, I don't really care though).

Just the silly one upmanship:


Disagreeing with a point you don't even understand.

But I'm epeening too and it's boring and off topic.

Feel free to keep misinterpreting the original comment all you like. Yes, solo pvp is fun.

You don't say something when you imply it.
Solo play can be fun.
Epeen what?

Also no matter how big the blobs might be getting there are still tons of players killing things on their own. Solo PvP is far from dead. Maybe it's just too hard for some nowadays?

You're trolling yourself there, smartarse

Or you could learn to play and understand how SP actually works. Wherein a newish 7mil sp player invested into there ship of choice is equivellant to a 70 mil sp character invested into the same because you can only invest so much into each ship.

The solo players that beat entire corps don't make posts on GD about the death of solo PVP.

People that make posts on GD about the death of solo PVP should go find friends, since obviously they're not able to hold their own.

Make sense?

What about the 100M SP character with 30M SP invested in his ship of choice vs the 5M SP character?
That diversionary argument grows tiresome. There are lots of people in FW with nearly perfect subcap skills, and it does matter.

i agree on that man, i have less SP invested in pvp during the years and i notice the difference in dps output and tanking vs a higher SP player. example half of mine are L3 and if i 1V1 sva L5 skills i notice it and as well when i fight vs a lower SP player who i out tank and out dps. people who say SP dont matter are those with all the SP imo. i discussed that with a player i lost from and compaired and also a player i won from and compaired the SP and the fittings we had. both losses and wins ware SP based since our fittings ware like the same. not saying that counts for everything tho. but SP do matter idd
