Amanda Guido Federal Defense Union Gallente Federation 24	Posted - 2015.10.02 23:14:42 - [1] - Quote So I have been playing EVE since 2003 and like to think I have a pretty good grasp on pvp. I tend to like flying cruisers and above, I just like larger ships. But I am having a lot of trouble flying them in pvp. I fit my blaster boats with dual webs, tracking rigs, have max gunnery skills, fly manually to reduce angular, but every time I undock to go do some solo faction war, I get owned by every frigate I come across. They have a tracking disruptor and AB fit, or they are kites and my drones can"t catch them, they are an interceptor and lock me down and laugh as their friends show up while Im hopeless to escape or defend myself. I lose ship after ship and go through millions of isk a session. I understand the game mechanics of tracking and transversal, I fit my ships accordingly. But it is just hard counter after hard counter and loss after loss. I feel like I am being punished for not flying frigates. Help please. I want to enjoy the game, but every time I log in I am just stressing over losses
Scipio Artelius The Vendunari End of Life 40420	Posted - 2015.10.02 23:42:21 - [2] - Quote When you say solo, is that real solo and no links? What about implants? Drugs? If you are going to make life hard on yourself by flying large ships that are slow, less agile and with less tracking than needed compared to your opponents, then you need to give yourself as much up front to even out those disadvantages and give yourself the best chance to be able to apply your DPS. So if you aren't using snakes, appropriate combat boosters and a links alt, I'd suggest starting there. The alternative aside from shipping down, would be to use a sniping ship (eg. ABC or Combat BC now) and use the advantage of long range to kill light tackle and other opponents before they ever reach you (there are many cray people out there that will just click approach on you from range and have 0 transversal while they try to reach you). Lastly, go watch all of Mr Hyde's YouTube videos and when you get blabbed anyone (because juicy), just link this video in local: http://youtu.be/E5S4EU_Zprs Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

Like, what is the point in even spending the extra money just to be LESS effective? Why even fly anything bigger when they are LESS capable and MORE expensive? That design philosophy is flawed, no?

No, I don't think it's ridiculous and I personally think the design philosophy is perfect. What it has created is an environment where just about every ship has advantages/disadvantages in different situations and every ship has a role in the game. There's no 'I win' ship. That's great for pvp. It's provides variety in what we can fly and what situations we find ourselves in. To me, that's way more interesting than a 1 ship meta. I think it's also great that smaller ships, which are quicker to train into can have a role in pvp. It means that newer players can also get into pvp and there is no need to train for extended periods of time just to be effective. Expense isn't and shouldn't be the determining factor in effectiveness. Those smaller ships that you struggle with solo, will find themselves struggling against you in a large fleet fight, or in a situation where you have setup to have the advantages. Situation and pilot skill, not cost, are much better in my book for determining effectiveness. Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

Situation and pilot skill, not cost, are much better in my book for determining effectiveness. Go read up on the Battle of Tradalgar and how the smaller, more agile ships with inferior numbers totally owned the opposition because they made best use of the things that gave them an advantage and their opponents a disadvantage. Same thing in Eve. So given that paradigm, what role do the larger ships play when they struggle to counter anything but each other? Why even field them instead of a large amount of small ships?
Rowells ANZAC ALLIANCE Fidelas Constans 2760	Posted - 2015.10.03 01:37:25 - [7] - Quote The boosters can be relatively cheap for much added benefit, even if the drawback hurts elsewhere. And I'll ask what size weapon you are using as well (neutrons/electrons, 425mm/dual220) What type of ammo do you use in the two situations? Tracking computers/enhancers? Drone types? Also, it might not to far out the question that they are receiving links from off grid. Not any solid way to confirm, but if you see a CS on scan and someone flying 'solo' likelihood is higher.

Why even field them instead of a large amount of small ships? If you want to fly solo and use larger ships, then the best options in my opinion are: 1. use high-grade snakes, skirmish links and combat boosters to mininise the effect of the disadvantages against small ships; 2. fit for sniping and sit at range, so you can minimise the impact of the speed and agility of small ships and kill as they approach (make sure you stay aligned so you can warp if probed and fit a MJD); 3. fit a micro-jump drive to help you escape from situations when you need to; 4. fit undersized weapons to your ship so you can use the tank of the large ship, but the ability to apply DPS of smaller ships. Fitting smaller weapons with better tracking, etc. reduces your range advantage, but is going to make you a good small ship killer 5. use drone boats or missiles that can project well in any direction irrespective of the transversal of the other ship to yours Those are just some options. Personally, in a small ship meta I'd fly a smaller ship and find people to fly the bigger stuff with in different operations; however I can understand someone wanting to use bigger ships. Ultimately, you probably just need to accept that for every good fight you will get, you'll probably have a dozen or more bad ones. Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

We veterans already have the tools to look for this kind of stat using third party tools, so I don't see why we should not have it in game also, to benefit the players new to PVP. Also it might lead to some new interesting gameplay, where people who like to try solo will look to face people like them and actually have some fun.

P.S. I'd appreciate the OP answering my previously posted question. 1. Looking at his post, unless he's a troll, he seems new to PVP 2. Just like the sec status which can be adjusted positively or negatively by the player's actions (or tags), this "Reputation" should not guarantee anything. It will just show to players that there's a smaller or higher chance to get a fight that might get them some fun. PS: there might be players that will try to force the stat killing alts, but tbh if they are willing to put that amount of work in order to kill a solo frig or cruiser they deserve it.

Lloyd Roses Artificial Memories 1270	Posted - 2015.10.03 03:59:45 - [21] - Quote Most critical point might be scouting. If you know who you are engaging, you can do some quick fixes to your fit and come out on top. Else, solo pilots strive off picking on the lame and weak. Judging potential engagements correctly is most of the job. If you want to go blindly, crashing into station/gatecamps usually turns into fighting the biggest dorks you could've anticipated. People generally don't want to get mixed up in fights they'd lose, so if a ship scoring as paper to your considerably larger ship scoring as scissors, don't be ssurprised if it turns out to be bait.

Remember by using ECM drones you are depending on RNGesus to make you win the fight instead of having that extra drone DPS hopefully kill that pesky target you're killing.

Your bold points are the key issue. If you are getting pinned by an inty for his buds you have departed "solo". And while not all ships have the capacity for a neut...fly those that do? Since coming back to EvE after a long break the dynamics have changed a fair bit. Fortunately being x-trained in small ships (BC and below....Minnie/Amarr/Gallente plus another due who is pretty much exclusive Caldari) allows me the luxury to experiment. It also depends on where you are doing your hunting. As I have pretty much forgotten what I knew of low sec mechanics I am sticking to null/WH's for my solo hunting at the moment. Try shipping down to the fun stuff. If you want to play with intys and hunt crap like haulers and miners...fly a DPS inty. Hunting tougher? Go recon. A dictor is a great solo ship if you fly the right one. Be creative. If you are 2003 you got the cash to **** up your killboard :) Of course I continually finding myself bailing from fights/ganks mostly on fire. I was and remain more sneaky than overtly guns blazing and never seem to manage enough DPS

But human nature being what it is, I sometimes forgot my own advice What I find disheartening, especially when you already brought a paper vs a scissors kind of fight and end up blobbed or overwhelmed, is not the ISK loss, that's easily acquirable, but the time spent looking for a fight that ends up being no fun.

Maybe is time for CCP to add an "Reputation" kind of stat to characters (similar to sec status), to make it easier for players trying to solo to avoid these situations. It should take into account the n+2 factor on the battle records(killmails). Bait and gank should increase this stat. Veterans might not care about the "Reputation" of the opponents, but the new guys might get a chance to have some fun with solo without being cannon fodder and create yet more risk adverse players. We have too many already cough eve hunt cough Amanda, that pod in a phantasm (for example) would be pretty good... Ya man, that sucked balls. Got blobed in a plex in low sec and warping back into high sec a proteus at the gate insta locked me as I came out of warp. Real nice game mechanics

Gregor Parud Ordo Ardish 1536	Posted - 2015.10.03 16:25:33 - [40] - Quote It's really simple: 1) These so called "solo pvp systems". like the one you keep dying in, but also OMS and others they're not actually solo go-to pvp systems. They're systems where terrible camp clowns with links, RR, falcons and 17 scout alts sit and wait for the next idiot who got lured in by the whole "go here for solo pvp" thing. 2) You seem to run AB fits on sluggish ships, that doesn't really work unless you have an exit strategy like a station or gate (or possibly MJD) so Fit MWD, allowing you to dictate more if and when a fight is going to happen 3) bring a scout alt 4) stop bling fitting your ships. right now everyone knows you're a loot pi+¦ata so I wouldn't be surprised if people have you on watch list going "lol, he'll be back here in 30 mins": when you log on. 5) those really cool pvp vids you see are a) probably gang linked to hell and back and b) against idiots, because that is how you get cool looking fights: fighting clueless folks who keep doing the wrong thing. 6) low sec tactics are generally based on AB fits which is not good for you as they'll AB under your guns till next Christmas. Instead go to 0.0 where most folks fit MWD and long points, THAT is where a short range scram fit works a lot better because they won't be countering you as much. Especially with ships that can use MJD (CBC,BS) you can effectively force them into your scram range 7) fit neuts to counter short orbit small stuff 8 get better so you can assess the situation and avoid it before it goes sour. Simply put: stop blinging your ships, don't go to those obvious systems and in fact go hunt in 0.0 it'll work a lot better, get a scout alt, get better.

Cruisers and up aren't really designed for fighting frigates, they are designed for fighting cruisers and up. The obvious answer is neuts+webs+light drones, but you can even get gimmicky with it and fit light guns or missiles. Or try a cruiser like a Stabber, for example, which is known for being well equipped to draw frigates away from their fleet and kill them. As with anything, fit your ship to be a specialized counter to the targets you plan to engage, then choose your fights accordingly. If you are fit for fighting battleships don't let frigates engage you. everevolutionaryfront.blogspot.com

Are you sure you've been playing since 2003? Looking at the fits of your lossmails, you have actually done the bare minimum for fighting frigates. Using a couple tracking enhancers and a couple faction webs are only going to help against less experienced frigate pilots. Your fits look like you are trying to fit your ship to combat every possibility out there. You simply cannot do that while flying solo. Know what fights to run from.

Frankly if you want to know how to kill frigates with a cruiser, you should start by trying to kill cruisers with frigates, and pay attention to how you die when you die. You seem to have gone straight from frigate vs frigate PvP directly to 500 million isk faction cruiser vs 10 man frigate/destroyer gang PvP without anything in between. Those were gangs that you never should have attempted to engage without first accepting the inevitable loss of your ship. I humbly suggest you try and kill some solo cruisers before you try to fly them. everevolutionaryfront.blogspot.com

Also posting here probably brought you on a lot of watchlists. Being solo means trick somebody into engaging you on unfavorable terms or force the fight on somebody on your own terms.

Nobody does that in pvp, right? Oh and that 106 dps they do is super uber against frigates right? Just shut the **** up, you are embarrassing yourself Looking at your killboard, one other thing I'd add to my earlier posts about giving your self the best advantage is move away from the Old Man Star -> Tama pipe. When I first started pvp I stupidly moved into Siseide (as a 6 day old character) and when that was too hot after about 3 weeks I thought I'd move closer to my Corp and so moved into Heydieles (was exclusively solo pvping at the time so I could get some experience and feel like I could join them in fleet ops). That whole pipe from Heydieles up to Tama, whether you go via Abune or via Fliet, is a small gang Mecca. Vox in OMS, Galmil, Calmil, Shadow Cartel to a degree, roaming gangs etc.. As a solo pilot flying large, slow, brawling ships; it's just about the most difficult area I could think to move into. You can fly cruiser sized kiting ships (eg. Cerberus) successfully in that area because they give you more 'gtfo' ability and their speed helps, but flying brawling navy exeqs is always going to be difficult. I'd suggest moving to a different area, to find areas where you'll be able to find more 1v1 situations and/or gangs of pilots with less skill than Vox, etc. Just my 0.02c having soloed in that area for a long time too. Loss is going to happen more than wins, especially in something like a Exeq Navy, where a small ship can easily hold you down while their backup arrives. Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari
Scipio Artelius The Vendunari End of Life 40435	Posted - 2015.10.05 00:06:19 - [60] - Quote Actually, my last response was probably not totally honest. If I was totally honest I would have said: Your current choice of ships and style of pvp is not viable in lowsec FW at the moment. You would be far better to change what you are doing. Slow, brawling cruisers haven't really been viable since mid-late 2013 as a solo platform that is going to get you a lot of fights. Any frigate that engages you is only going to do so because they can win or have backup. Everything else will warp off. Cruisers that engage you will know that they can win and/or have backup. Change ships and style and it's possible to even solo ok in that OMS -> Tama area. Even switching from an Exeq Navy Issue to a Vexor Navy Issue or going to a dual/tripple rep Myrmidon would be an improvement, but still not a great choice for solo pvp currently (Myrm's are bait ships, so if you fly one everyone will expect you to have backup, so if they engage it will be because they have backup). But, if you are looking for lots of good fights, those choices are a recipe for failure. Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

So if you aren't using snakes, appropriate combat boosters and a links alt, I'd suggest starting there. The alternative aside from shipping down, would be to use a sniping ship (eg.

That design philosophy is flawed, no? you need to learn to pick your targets better. just because your in a bigger ship doesnt mean you auto win. try frig pvp and fight against frigs. i suggest starting from the bottom and work your way up. again learn to pick targets

Why even field them instead of a large amount of small ships? bigger ships do more damage and have more hit points. in some ways they are more vulnerable to smaller ships, mostly in the tracking department. Also note a small ship under the guns of one big ship won't necessarily be under the guns of another larger ship. Also in the small ship's journey to get under the guns, it is vulnerable to getting blapped. a medium neut is like 1/3-1/2 of a frigs cap, and a heavy neut is pretty much a destroyer's cap there are of course problem ships like the 60km point 8km/s snaked linked garmur, but that is going to **** off nearly everything solo. @ChainsawPlankto

Like I said, I was ****** because of my poor warp speed, poor mobility and poor ability to kill anything smaller then a cruiser If it's the first Hyperion loss you are referring to, I assume you were trying to get back to Villore from Heydieles since you were killed in OMS. If that's the case, warping straight to the OMS gate is always going to be a problem for a big slow ship. The gate is so far off grid from anything else in system that you are warping blind if you just warp direct (which it sounds like you did as you still had a weapons timer). It's much safer to warp to an off grid tactical or at the very least, an on grid perch so you can see what is happening on the gate. That of course doesn't tell you about the OMS side, but that gate has a long history of fights on it. An alternative if you want to get out to highsec and not log off safely in system (after waiting out aggression timer) is to go through Indregulle -> Murethand -> Mesybier (highsec). That's only two further jumps back to Villore from there and in highsec. The Indregulle gate is almost never a problem to get through and same into Murethand. If they work out what you are doing then an interceptor will catch you, but it's generally a safer alternative if you have no way of escaping a group on a gate. Might or might not be helpful.

You'll end up with way more fights and in many of them you'll be no worse than even footing going into it. These big ships will just continue to lose when you are solo and I'm sure that can't be fun to sink so much ISK (and I assume you don't have means to earn ISK in game so are using PLEX to fund your pvp). You are right, it is not fun and I am using plex. I make isk in game fw plexing, but lately I have been trying to test fits in BS. Just is not working out. You are right on point.

Just advice, you really should setup not only safes in system but instadock, instaundock, off grid and on grid bookmarks on each gate in those systems you regularly fly in. That way, especially if warping to OMS, you'll also be aligned to one of your bookmarks if you are aligned to gate. Better is to align to your safe bookmarks rather than celestials/gates. That way you can always immediately warp to one when needed and don't give Intel away about your desired destination. That gives you much greater safety. So a good thing to do would be to jump in an interceptor and go make bookmarks in all the systems you regularly roam. You can never have too many. Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

BS have a very limited role and need work. You finally admit you should be downsizing your ship for the job you are trying to do. How many of us have been trying to tell you this but you just wanted to argue up and down about how its broken game mechanics ? Yeah battleships have limited roles as they should, just like every other ship in the game. I as well as others told you right from the start "use the right tool for the job". Battleships are not supposed to be the swiss army knife of the game where it can do a little bit of everything, no ship is. Battleships have their role and job and they do that job well when used correctly, there is nothing that needs a wholesale fix like you claim. Sure some things may need a tweak here and there but then again Eve along with every other MMO in existence is in that same boat, always needing constant tweaks and retweaking. There was a time in Eves history when battleships were in fact the end all be all of ships in the game and the game was severely broken then. If CCP listen to you and make the changes that you are going on about then we will be right back in that very same boat as we were years and years ago.

Also, you claim the curse neuted you within a minute, yet you cannot burn through a full cargo hold of cap boosters in a minute. And if you going around tanking a cargo's hold worth of cap booster charges against this gang, it would show up in the KM of well over 27k damage taken. Hell a naked hyperion is showing about 29k HP.

OR just say "sorry guys, I didn't actually fly back in 2003, nor did I do it up until [insert year]". Either works. See this is why I say you did not fly back in 2003 as you stated: 1. If you did you would have learned the simplest things you clearly show zero understanding of over the past 12 years. 2. You would have aged by 12 years and more likely than not wouldn't display the communication skills of a sub-20 year old player. (Sorry guys, no offense intended) 3. You wouldn't trash your reputation the way you are doing right now. 4. You would have in-game contacts to discuss your PvP skills or lack thereof outside of this forum. 5. You would have already stopped all speculation by referencing your history. And so on and on. So you either took over an account, bought an account (illegally), bought all of your characters, activated an account from 20XX which you hadn't used much past creation (as the game had a much steeper learning curve back then) or all of the above. You are not flying since 2003 as you claim - admit it already. It's not too late to say "Sorry guys, I misled you, I started in 20XX and I thought I was good at PVP and I bought a few characters thinking it's the SP I was missing as well as the ability to fly and fit badass hulls. Obviously I need your help". However, I am done with this thread and with you (although as someone already mentioned, welcome to the watchlist). Have a great day. Characters of mine that I remember Hellen Kurvora Helena Vexar (2009) I honestly dont remember the name of the pilot I biomassed prior. I have the transaction history to prove the age of my account. I also can do a limited API. I remember the day I saw Eve on the shelf of a game stop for the first time. Back when it was sold that way. It was bare bones and all there was to do was mine, build sht, or blow sht up and you were lucky to have 5k people online. Yes, I have really played since 2003. On and off like most. As a writer, medical professional, and world traveled 28 year old guy, I can promise you my communication skills are top notch. I will extend to you the same offer I have to others who seem to think I lack knowledge of game concepts. Meet me anytime, any place, in ship classes of your choice, and I would be happy to allow you to show me your prowess. Show me the error of my ways.

When I landed there was him and an oracle. I could not jump because I was under count. He then disrupted me again. I neuted and MJD out. Now a typhoon shows up. I went back to gate could not jump, they were there, had me pointed. This continued again and again till everyone there was present. If I jumped through they had someone there waiting to grab me. I had no charges by the time I was killed because I used them all in the fight! I could not tank anymore by the end, because I was neuted by the curse. Like I said, I was ****** because of my poor warp speed, poor mobility and poor ability to kill anything smaller then a cruiser Still doesnt sound right. All the damage you tanked between these guys should have shownup in the KM. So if you used up all your charges, we should see well over 27k damage tanked. Unless this was going on for hours. You also made the mistake of warping to a gate blind. If youre roaming an area frequently, setup perches a few hundred km from gate to scout the area first. I solo roam in BS quite frequently, i do fine avoiding most of these issues. I also know who I can and cant engage and do my best to avoid those that counter me. Warping with aggression timer to 0 on a gate is also not the wisest thing. I also know one of the guys who killed you, so maybe he can shed some light on what happened without angry bias getting in the way. One more time... There was a curse in the fight, meaning he neuted me to sh*t, meaning even with my cap boosters (which lasted all of 1 min with a curses neuts) I was capped out. Thus, you only see 27k tank. Which is why hyperions usually use 2 cap boosters, not one. TC is pointless, especially when you have no range control. Also, you claim the curse neuted you within a minute, yet you cannot burn through a full cargo hold of cap boosters in a minute. And if you going around tanking a cargo's hold worth of cap booster charges against this gang, it would show up in the KM of well over 27k damage taken. Hell a naked hyperion is showing about 29k HP. Whete were all the capboosters? You didn't get a single rep off? But were warping around (using cap) Just stop lying and say you forgot to put them in your cargo. We all can see that is what happened

From Mesybier you can go to Orvolle and back into lowsec at Oulley, giving you quick access to Aubernall, Eugales, Moclinamaud, Renarelle, Vlillirier, etc. which are better systems to roam in that sort of ship. You'll still end up losing more fights than you win just because of the choice of ship and the way it limits the types of engagements people will be prepared to engage you in (ie. Heavily in their advantage even before the fight starts), but you are more likely to find people willing to take more of a risk. But really, the best option would be put a billion ISK into T3Ds or faction frigates and go lose a heap while winning just as much. You'll end up with way more fights and in many of them you'll be no worse than even footing going into it. These big ships will just continue to lose when you are solo and I'm sure that can't be fun to sink so much ISK (and I assume you don't have means to earn ISK in game so are using PLEX to fund your pvp). You are right, it is not fun and I am using plex. I make isk in game fw plexing, but lately I have been trying to test fits in BS. Just is not working out. You are right on point.

I tend to like flying cruisers and above, I just like larger ships. But I am having a lot of trouble flying them in pvp. I fit my blaster boats with dual webs, tracking rigs, have max gunnery skills, fly manually to reduce angular, but every time I undock to go do some solo faction war, I get owned by every frigate I come across. They have a tracking disruptor and AB fit, or they are kites and my drones can"t catch them, they are an interceptor and lock me down and laugh as their friends show up while Im hopeless to escape or defend myself. I lose ship after ship and go through millions of isk a session. I understand the game mechanics of tracking and transversal, I fit my ships accordingly. But it is just hard counter after hard counter and loss after loss. I feel like I am being punished for not flying frigates. Help please. I want to enjoy the game, but every time I log in I am just stressing over losses I can help you with this, snakes, links, and boosters are not necessarily required. I will contact you in game and help you figure out what it is that you can be doing better besides those things. One of the issues about frigates is that it is very difficult to force an engagement against them if they do not want you to. Especially if you are in a larger vessel than they are. What you will generally end up experiencing is having all of the targets you can handle run from you because of how significantly you outclass them, the ones that don't run from you stay usually because they have a trump card that they haven't played yet. Aside from game mechanics there is an intricate psychological battle that goes on anywhere in EVE, and this can vary depending on the type of space. I am sure that you are experienced enough to note the engagement trends of different areas of space, but universally mobility is key. I really look forward to seeing if I can help you out.
