I'm not saying you can't fight them - but you need skills/equipment and knowledge to do so.
What Tikktokk was saying is that for *new* players, who don't even know their own capabilities yet it is a bad idea - because it will give them a skewed impression of what other ships are capable of if they are only seeing them as they perform w/ high-grade implants and fleet boosts.
edit: And in the process it will discourage them regarding their own skills - as they will wonder how they can be so far behind, not realizing that much of it is due to themselves not having implants and boosts.
Right, but I'm not sure what is going to be learned from 14 jumps from a market hub to a null sec entry only to be bubbled and instapopped by the entry gate camp. Even assuming you get in safely, how long do you have to roam to find a fight? People learn from doing, and a 10 or more fights could have been had in the time it'll take to find one fight in null sec.
Look, OGB links and implants can make a huge difference in certain kinds of fights - I totally agree. The allure of FW space is that you almost don't have to engage in those at all.

Ed: One of the biggest down sides to frigate PVP is that it can be over so quickly. Recording your fights and watching them later is one way to gain maximum experience from them - whether you decide to go to low sec or null sec.
I'm an idiot, don't mind me.

I tend to follow abaddon21 and his ProEve guides. Well written, good explainations, and entertaining.
Otherwise, I am a BANE TO THE MTU!
This would cure me of the fear...

Talk to Dark Magni if you want 1v1s.
He lives in Okkamon and solos all the things.

Check the killboards of everyone who kills you, you will get a better feel for the solo meta at the current time. The top tier players might be using some weird fit that only works with max skills and/or lots of experience.

This is good advice. Before my prolonged break I used to fly a combat Buzzard. It could kill most frigs 1v1 but I wouldnt recommend flying it to people without them getting some experience in standard shipd

I used to study Kane's fits and tactics when i was a young greb (old greb now, still much to learn from Kane).

I agree. Old Kane in his Legion was a baddie. Sorry to hear he sold

I dont really get why nobody mentioned Tuskers. Am i missing something? All i met in solo PVP have been super skilled, including dope maual piloting and shipchoice/fitting without going all blingmode to win.
And each i talked to after a fight were great sports, check them out!

Thanks for the shout out.
I think part of the 'problem' is that we've moved to wormhole space. In times past, you could just rock up to Hevrice in whatever ship you liked and find someone willing to give you a gudfite.
Now, we're a bit more like a traveling carnival. We jump through our null sec static, roam an area, and then our connection changes and we are in a completely different part of New Eden. Logistics is a challenge even for us, and we know where our hole is. Finding us by chance is very unlikely.
Amusingly, most of our lossmails now seem to come from hitting gate camps as we try to get from the market to our wormhole. Or perhaps it just feels that way.

I'm not sure if its been mentioned, but there is a chat channel dedicated to the solo pilot. Bringing solo back is the channel name, and tons of solo pvpers frequent it often.
Usually good conversation too. |

Slightly offtopic but:
Might it help if CCP included an indicator on the targetted ships UI for when it is being linked by another ship?
Especially considering Command BCs are likely to become more frequent soon due to reduction/simplification of training times and the general link overhaul.
Ill leave it up for debate as to whether the indicator would classify the type of link in operation.
A simple colored dot could indicate type, or just a red/green one indicating if it is or is not currently linked.
Id think this would help in choosing "gudfights".
The advantage would be mutual:
-linked players can identify non-linked targets to engage.
-non-linked players can identify linked targets to avoid/escape
-non-linked players vs non-li ked players, and li ked pkayers vs linked players both know the parameters of the engagement.
This additional info may reduce the element of surprise/unknown, but since it is mutually advantageous, the status quo is largely maintained.
I may be biased in that ive never liked links as undetectable. I acknowledge that it is the prerogative of a more established/situated player to operate links (whether on their alt or from another player), but that alone is already sufficient concrete practical advantage. As above, I think it is fair and reasonable to suggest that it is outright indicated if a ship is linked, or not, rather than ascertaining it possibly too late in an engagement from heuristic observation of opponents performance as compared to expected outcome.

Bringing solo back is nothing but a brag channel for people with hg implants (and previously links) to show off their shiny solo kills. |

I don't think you should focus on the best solo PvPers for your lesson.
If you do that it is like a beginning tennis fan trying to learn from Federer or Djokovic:
If you start trying to learn tennis by trying to hit heavy top-spin back hands, you are approaching it from the wrong direction.
Most tricks employing by top solo PvPers require a solid foundation in PvP basics, both in theory and in practice. Try focus on the basics first before trying to emulate the best.
