DarkElf Caldari Veto.	Posted - 2007.03.09 01:12:00 - [1] Well my love for solo piracy seems to be short lived. I know of still a few pilots that get the buzz from solo pwnage but it seems to be a dying profession. Now i know that ccp has said on many occasions that eve is not a solo game but i have the utmost respect for ppl who take an expensive ship out solo and pirate/pvp in hostile lands but it seems to be happening on fewer and fewre occasions due to the number of ppl who prefer to be in large groups. So i'm curios, does this bother ppl? is there anything that can be done to encourage solo pvp? is the upcoming nerf on speed bs going to reduce further solo pvp'ers? does anyone really want to solo anymore or just myself? am i just rambling because i have had too much vodka redbull tonight? curios DE

Nahia Senne Fortunis Novum	Posted - 2007.03.09 01:52:00 - [4] Edited by: Nahia Senne on 09/03/2007 01:49:11 50% hp boost added with cap size boost and cap charge boost was the last straw to any kind of solo pvp. if you fight two people, the first guy you killed has time to go fetch another ship. in the end, a 1v2 effectively turns into an everlasting battle.. until you run out of 800's or they run out of ships to board.
T'Renn Crimson Squall	Posted - 2007.03.09 02:41:00 - [5] Soloing is just weak now. If I'm solo I'm going to roam around all day hunting for the guy or two in a belt or something. Because I'm an outlaw, I can't really risk flying around a big ship lest I get ganked, so I tend to solo in a recon. Sure the DPS is awful but it's fun and you won't lose your ship if you've got half a brain. Anyway, I don't really do the solo thing anymore. Too boring. I'd rather just wait on a gate for the targets to come to me usually. -- Wanna be a low-sec scumbag?

Nahia is right. Solo pvp got smacked to near obsoletion once Revelations patch hit. CCP said they want to introduce game mechanics to cut down on blobbing and 50 man gangs but everything they have been doing actually encourages it more and more.
Rizla Amarr Knights of Chaos	Posted - 2007.03.09 02:56:00 - [7] I have to say i still love going solo, i've always hated big blobs, fleet ops etc. It does cost me in ships but stuff it, the games supposed to be fun not a second bloody job, yes i do tend to be ***ed on occasions cough*. So no it dont bother me because i'll do it anyway. mind i think i'm going to have to swap to vodka and red bull. beer isnt cutting it
Rastilin Gallente Beyond Divinity Inc Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.09 03:08:00 - [8] Solo PVP is great fun i dont like going solo say in a command ship casue i tend to get blobed but the myrmidon is great fun and i have actully escpaed some blobs with Privateers is a good allaince to have a chance for solo pvp if u can manage to evade what soon follows but a inty or cruiser are cheap enough and youll get some great action
Ariel Dawn SniggWaffe Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2007.03.09 03:16:00 - [9] I started pirating when Revelations came out and the majority of my time has been spent solo due to connection issues with my ISP. Pretty much no one other than other pirates will fight you (they warp off with their WCS), and those that don't try to run away usually have their corps rush over from surrounding systems. It makes you pick up skills really fast for new (most) players though that are excellent for survival as you depend on yourself and no-one else.
kublai Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.03.09 03:40:00 - [10] I love solo pvp, I don't like battleship solo pvp mind you, my favourite solo pvp ship is my navy vexor, i'm not sure why but t1 cruisers and faction cruisers just seem like the right ship for at least low sec solo piracy. Taking a hac to most low sec dwellers is just overkill, and there is that extra style factor :) That said i've done some solo domi, but it's so easy to get blobbed by that 20 man gang in something like that. Lately i've begun doing more 2-3 man gangs of bs/command ship etc which can be great fun if you find yourself slightly outnumbered and not e-war'd to death (fighting isn't fun if you cant hit or target your opponent after all). All that said, i'm trying to quickfit a vigilant I got laying around for some solo belt action, and let's just my faction cruisers truly are faction

Personally I find this empowers me when fighting solo, but I guess it depends on playing style.

Grant Smith Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2007.03.09 04:15:00 - [13] Well... here goes. Solo pvp is 4tw... group pvp is also awesome. Piracy consists of belt piracy, or belt and gate piracy. Battleships/Commandships can do do both, bc's in general and smaller are restricted to belts. Battleships are 4tw when it comes to piracy imo, as most kills are gained at gates. On the subject of faction ships - I lost my faction fit Vindicator through piracy. Oh well eh But solo pvp is still very much alive - imo the changes have just made it all the more fun!

Warrio Ruin Inc.	Posted - 2007.03.09 05:10:00 - [14] I live with 2 of my boys so I'd never go out PvPing alone. Aside from that I love solo PvPer's, they usually fit alot of T2 loot and give excelent screenies when they start crying in local after they've been ganked. Yarr etc.
cheru Queens of the Stone Age Anarchy Empire	Posted - 2007.03.09 05:13:00 - [15] Edited by: cheru on 09/03/2007 05:10:45 Originally by: DarkElf ... but don't ppl get the ultimate buzz from being alone nd getting fired upon by 5+ targets and ur all alone? for me that's the highest buzz Indeed it adds that little extra thrill/kick when there's nobody to scout or watch your back. + The bigger the gang the more boring it gets for the individual exept the leader or the scout imo. So yeah, I love solo pvp. To make more (solo)pvp possible there should be more "meeting points" besides gates, stations and belts where people can stumble across each other. ................................................. been there done that
Sun Win Mutually Assured Distraction	Posted - 2007.03.09 05:32:00 - [16] I love solo PvP I grew up on throwing Punishers at ridiculous odds and nothing gets the heart pumping like scanning down a target, hitting warp and realizing that you're committed and you have no idea what'll happen next. "Can I beat them?" "Do they have friends nearby?" "Are any of the people in local secretly their friends?" "Are they an anti-pie trap?" Lately I'm flying a BC a lot. Similarly to Kublai in the t1 cruisers, I think that lighter faster ships are the win for solo. You need to pick your spots and pick your targets but there is a lot to be said for filling your hold with ammo and just GOING, not coordinating with anyone or anything. New to Eve?

NeOnicuS Shadowed Souls	Posted - 2007.03.09 06:46:00 - [17] solo is fun but like most have said revelations ganked solo in alot of ways. Heck you were there for the 1hr 5minute engagement last night ----------- Yaarrr!! Where have all the cowboys gone?
pshepherd Caldari Dark-Rising Fallen Souls	Posted - 2007.03.09 06:55:00 - [18] I still solo pirate, but only as something to do when i'm waiting in empire. I hardly do it full time
Ishana Minmatar The Black Rabbits Fatal Persuasion	Posted - 2007.03.09 07:38:00 - [19] CCP is slowley pushing people into blobs. Although they claim to want the opposite, stuff like the Hitpoint increase cause people to gang up so they can kill people at the same speed as before. It just makes more sence these days to be in a gang then to go at it alone... _________________________________________________________
Masochistic Cannibal Amarr 3M Incorporated	Posted - 2007.03.09 08:16:00 - [20] Nope DE your not the only one ! I was pretty much solo PvP'ing for a lot of my Eve career and for the last 8months completely. Though in the last month I have brought an empire carebear and tried to help a newish corp lol (Buy them BPO's, Be generally nice etc lol) Though tbh I'm tempted to just kick empire in the ass and go Outlaw again :/ But, a few things make solo'ing quite hard. Blob mentality being one of them, but not the only issue. #Scanning, Unless i'm specificly flying a Recon this is rather a burden on any of my combat ships solo. However it has become more and more needed. Especially now with WTZ, Belt pirating is fun and all that, And I love it !! But lets be fair what is a CNR with faction fittings doing in a 0.1 belt shooting NPC Bc's (Hint, It isn't !!) Meh I would carry on with my whine but my boss is giving me really evil looks !!! Cannibal (Ps, DarkElf sorry you never got that Providence [;)], a friend re-subbed my game and i'm playing for a little while longer lol) I eat babies ! [Hauling services available~ Contact ingame]

Stogee Gallente	Posted - 2007.03.09 10:43:00 - [23] I solo low-sec pirate in frigates quite often targetting frigates-cruisers, havent come across any bc's for a while. I manage the sec hit with lvl4 mission running. If you jump in in a group people will scupper, one person with a +sec your just as likely to be passing traffic. I dont tackle anything larger than a cruiser unless in a cruiser.

Obviously I cannot kill a heavily tanked battleship while taking sentry fire however weaker targets can easily be engaged. Join a good pirate corp and ask the guys there for advice. You probably just need a bit more experience.
Avoid Gallente Captain Morgan Society Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.09 11:19:00 - [25] Solo ? I love to do solo pvp, but its not smtg i do in eve primetime. And it also requires a wtf pwn mobile ship. The problem is basicly, that there is too many blobs out there trying to toast you. However whit a alt to do the scouting and your main in a bc/cmd ship it can be done. The good old days when you could take out a taranis or crow and just go mad are long gone. Imo. real pvp is solo pvp, or pvp whit small numbers fighting even numbers. Anny newb in this game can preform well in a fleetbattle, or a gank 10 vs 1.

vonakaNBuster Minmatar The Movement	Posted - 2007.03.09 11:24:00 - [26] i still do solo, also in bigger ships, recently i flew my machariel solo, had great fun, but you are just that more capable of taking good fights in small gangs 2-4 ppl.
Ishquar Teh'Sainte Faaip De Oiad	Posted - 2007.03.09 11:29:00 - [27] i soloed quite a lot before Revelations. in 0.0 with my taranis. but since WTZ, local-change and i-stabs have become the flavor of the month it's not that much fun anymore with a lone interceptor. why? well ... what targets can you engage with a taranis? stupid NPCers with crappy fitting, hauler, frigs and other interceptors. stupid NPCers got their local-change .. \o/ .. hauler got WTZ and i-stabs .. w00t - no dictor? tough luck interceptors also tend to be boring targets - either they are longrange fitted crows flying 7k+ or shortrange fitted ceptors with i-stabs/nanos that insta-pop. the problem is imho not the game-mechanic .. but more the attitude of the people. ___________________ -Skellibjalla- Life is a garden of perceptions.

Ginger Magician Minmatar OctoberSnow Corp	Posted - 2007.03.09 11:50:00 - [28] I still consider myself as Eve's greatest ever solo pirate but those days are long gone now.Some of my corpmates do solo occasionally now and it seems that nano ships are the new version of the stabs I used to use to great effect.However I have to say that camping with my corpmates and enjoying the chat on vent are more fun than any solo experience although the actual pvp side can sometimes be a little less exciting.

Originally by: Kehmor Join a good pirate corp and ask the guys there for advice. You probably just need a bit more experience. more experience, that's a good one. I'm going to say nothing more on that one So it's encouraging to see these responses tbh. Yes i wrote this thread while hammered but the meaning behind it was true. It would seem to me that areas are very different. after pirating around sinq laison and domain for nearly a year i have found that you do get solo pvp'ers, 90% noob npc'ers, and the rest the occasional blob. But in certain areas it seems that any target you find is bait for the blob next door. Well i love to solo, small group, medium group and will continue to do all. altho it seems like force recons and speed reliant ships are the solo choice of the future maybe. DE
Darcy Killar Gallente Darkness Inc.	Posted - 2007.03.09 12:36:00 - [31] I started out solo killing, as most people have read about my escapades. It was good and bad, I sure lost a TON of ships! But I also never ran from any fights (Incursus vs Nighthawkàtwice) I got some good kills solo, some cruisers, some frigs, bunch of barges, one stealth bomber ect. But recently my corp has EXPLODED in size and I have not flown solo since. Comparing the two very different experiences is hard as both are fun but honestly I think flying in a group is more fun as last night my corp mates had me laughing so hard I could hardly see the screen. Some of the banter in local with the guys we are at war with was HYSTERICAL! And simply the ability to take down ships I know there is no chance I could take alone, Moa last night, Enyo the night before, makes for a blast! Especially when no one cares about losing ships and we are stealing every can in every belt of a system in 5 min or less! (and then we hunt the red flashys!!) About me! My kills!

Tonya Hardon Minmatar Pre-nerfed Tactics	Posted - 2007.03.09 23:50:00 - [35] we are one of the few pirates left that solo a lot. i prefer solo roaming in a jaguar (used to be a hurricane till i lost it to a CTD), because it has the firepower to take down everything up to tier on BC with ease, and can tank decently whilst doing it. the only problem is, i often come across targets that im unable to kill, like battleships that aggro me but cant track me and stuff, so when i call in help. we get accused of being blobbers. its not that we like to blob, but people in my corp are so desperate to be on a killmail that when i called for help once against two armageddons, a corpmate brought his Moros just so he could look cool on the top of the mail. that and i cant convince anyone else to fly in an AF and go on roams, so i do it alone.

operated Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.03.12 11:47:00 - [45] Solo pvp is great , been doiing it all my eve career . I lost ****load of ships but its so much fun , rlly gets my hart goiiing .Only downside is the grinding killing npc to get new money to pimp a ride and get out there again. Latly its hard to find fair fights , i go looking for few hours after targets that are doable till i get fed up and i try find a trap some guys put up and i try kill as many before i pop or get out . Solo pvp gives you more fun then sitting in a gang listening to one guy calling the shots .Though on teamspeak it can be fun and sometimes you just need to be in a gang to fight biger gangs . Not to mention when you take out 2 bc in your bc you feel great , or when you kill 2 bs in your bs etc

Fourthorseman Griefer	Posted - 2007.03.12 15:05:00 - [47] I like 2 man groups. Three is ok. After that it's more of a squad feeling and less of a couple bruthas doing their thing.
Phelan Lore Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2007.03.12 15:32:00 - [48] I like solo or 2-3 people better because it's really rare that you get an actual fight when you go out in a large gang. When you do get another large gang to engage yours you can get some pretty epic fights, but most of the time you just get lots of ganks. -

When nano's get nerfed, will be interesting to see your killboard. :)

You guessed it: nanoships. FOTM. I think soloing will become a lot more fun (for those of us who haven't happened to have already trained for that FOTM) in general when the bs-that-can-outrun-an-inty is nerfed. Suddenly, a lot of other setups will be reintroduced as viable in solo pvp. Unfortunately, if they do it wrong it will screw over pvp in general (solo and not). (CCP, just renerf istabs please :S) Anyway, I enjoy soloing, when/if it is doable. I did solo piracy back before rev. Now that I'm in a wardec/merc corp, though, soloing isn't very wise :) Sometimes I miss solo piracy. On the other hand, I don't miss entering a system and having everyone in the system dock or log off... oh, wait...
SasRipper DIE WITH HONOUR	Posted - 2007.03.12 17:02:00 - [51] Edited by: SasRipper on 12/03/2007 16:59:25 The never ending hitpoint boosts have screwed over solo pvp. 99% of fights am going into a hostile local average 5 or so I have to find get one (depending on ships of course) on his own drop him then rinse & repeat. But with revelations trying to drop a bs or bc before his blob arrive is much harder. And this is in a blasterthron so I cant do anymore dps & even when the blob catches me I only die to cap out because of nos as it takes so slow long to chew through all the hp I despise the never ending hit point boosts which lead to longer fights therefore more blob & nos. So I turned to nano setups in rev & found them a good counter to the slow moving super tank nos blobs which are pvp today. However with the so called "nano nerf" coming I feel it will be an end to solo bs pvp. Will nefing nano bs stop solo pvp no it wont, but it will all be crap cruisers, frigs, hacs etc \|- My Sig loggedoffskied -\| Save Radar Scanner Man!

Drop by me for a 1on1 anytime, turbonutz ;) I'd love it. hell yeah i know ur good for them. our last fight was pretty good fun. a rather close match and felt wrong handing so much t2 gear back to ya but hey, we fought on and off so so long it hardly matters. Originally by: Kehmor I answered and you criticised me. As for making stuff up, I'm not exactly sure what you are refering to. if ur idea of answering means telling me that Veto. isn't a good pirate corp and i need more experience than 3 years of piracy then i'm afraid that's why i critised you. didn't mean any offence by it but presumed that you did. Originally by: Masochistic Cannibal Originally by: DarkElf but it seems to vary hugely depending on the region i've found also. DE Move back to Genesis, I'l see you there once i've finished my empire war and you can come kill me mano et mano (Well... I haven't been in empire properly in nearly 3 years...!! HELLOOO Zion. (Random corp chosen from recruitment channel ) Then again.... Genesis allways did suck a little Cannibal indeed. maybe i'm come seek you out. maybe we can even be on the same side for once DE

doctorstupid2 Dirty Deeds Corp. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2007.03.14 12:19:00 - [59] Edited by: doctorstupid2 on 14/03/2007 12:16:21 Solo PVP is fast dying, in part because blobbing is the thing to do, and because 1v1 most solo ships can't handle nano*****s. I don't go solo in big ships anymore without a scout/ceptor, which I guess technically isn't solo I do still solo in cruisers and (quite expensive gistii rigged) ceptors, though.
Major Stuart Maelstrom Crew	Posted - 2007.03.14 22:17:00 - [60] I like soloing, but whenever i take expensive ships there always seems to be a gate camp or a corp im at war with gets 20 members do chase me around (i get away but i wanted to stay ) But yeah i like soloing uptill a big gang shows up then i get p1ssed That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter. It is a combat drone used by carriers.
Famine Aligher'ri V i L e DREAD.	Posted - 2007.03.15 05:16:00 - [61] As a old pilot that has mainly been a solo pirate in both empire and 0.0 sec. I can honestly say that solo pvp is deing or is already dead. We have the power as pilots to enforce better solo play in all fields but we fail to do so do the tools and mechanics of the game (as in UI). There was once a time when I could fly a buzzard or cheetah with ECM-Burst and beat other frigs solo. There was also once a time I could fly a rapier and engage cruisers solo to the death. Now, if I fly to the deep parts of space to give these new guys some targets to shoot at during war downtime. I get blobbed by dictors, alts, and cookie-cutter setups. I would think that having systems that forced pirates out of the roleplay of the game in relation to alliances would be a bad thing. For the events team and CCP always seem to roleplay NPC pirates in alliance space regularly to reflect what I can't due in game anymore. :( Maybe it will get better in time. One can only hope, but it's not a bad thing to focus on more group mechanics when there are so many alliances and squads in game compared to back when I could solo piracy. So don't take this as a complaint but a way to inspire more mechanics and ships for the small amount of players who choose to rely on skill, experience, and tactics rather than numbers, alts, and conforming.
