Podruski Reflex.	Posted - 2007.03.27 04:33:00 - [1] Just like the subject states..... Congratulations CCP, success at last. Yet again you ruin another fun profession.
Xori Ruscuv The Scope	Posted - 2007.03.27 04:38:00 - [2] Is this a recent development? No, I mean, seriously... what is it that they JUST did that killed it even more? OK, Nano nerf... but is it anymore dead now than before Istabs were FOTM? There are a LOT of these threads lately. Passive shield tank is the new WCS!
Redglare's Demise Shih Yang Tong	Posted - 2007.03.27 04:38:00 - [3] No its not?
Saint Lazarus	Posted - 2007.03.27 04:57:00 - [4] Its pretty hard I'll say that much, but I never knew a time when it was easier. :insert cool signature here:
Thomas Torquemada Minmatar Universal Peace Corp	Posted - 2007.03.27 05:06:00 - [5] It's still around, its just harder to come about, and then with the advent of new shiptypes its harder to complete in time before the targets help arrives (if any).

Demora Anglis Amarr The Splinter Syndicate SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.27 05:10:00 - [6] Please, by all means continue saying things like this. It's like feeding sheep to the slaughter, and my wallet'll smile even more. Originally by: Zappapapa I beat a Dominix and an Armageddon with a Dominix, thus Dominix > Dominix + Armageddon. Subtracting a Dominix from each side gives you 0 > Armageddon. QED, Amarr
Jak Silverheart Minmatar	Posted - 2007.03.27 05:25:00 - [7] http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=497883 I believe that should answer you that Solo pirating still exists. I may not have won but it was fun never the less. I could have won if I actually you skilled trained this character somewhat. Originally by: Scordite Who was it that said that flying minmatar is kinda like going down a flight of stairs on an office chair while firing an uzi?
murder one Gallente Death of Virtue	Posted - 2007.03.27 07:14:00 - [8] I've been soloing BS in my ishtar lately. Does that count? Every once in a while (maybe 1 of 10) I don't get blobbed and I pull it off. Otherwise, I get blobbed and either a) bail, or b) get tackled and die. Because I said so...
Tecam Hund The Buggers	Posted - 2007.03.27 11:31:00 - [9] I know a guy who kills gangs solo. Not gonna go into details, because then I will look just like a fanboi I am.

murder one Gallente Death of Virtue	Posted - 2007.03.27 12:16:00 - [13] Originally by: Rico Naginata Originally by: Podruski Just like the subject states..... Congratulations CCP, success at last. Yet again you ruin another fun profession. Lol i get the feeling you just dont know what youre doing. Two things: Compared to prior iterations of the game, CCP has indeed severely reduced the ability/opportunity for players to fight/pirate solo due to some very specific game design changes. Secondly: who are you to tell anyone what they know, especially about PVP? Because I said so...
The Internets	Posted - 2007.03.27 12:48:00 - [14] Originally by: Podruski Just like the subject states..... Congratulations CCP, success at last. Yet again you ruin another fun profession. You could just stop taking the bait newbcorpers set out for you in the Mara area and find other targets. Don't mean to come across as flaming if it seems like that; you're a great PvPer.

Liang Nuren Red 42 CORE.	Posted - 2007.03.27 17:58:00 - [18] Hey Pod, I won't say that solo piracy's dead, because I've pulled it off in my Vexor. But I will say it's rather hard, and you gotta be really on your toes. You're a lot better PVP'er than me, I'll wager (in fact, I know it). Don't give up hope... just be sneaky. ;-) Liang
Radcjk	Posted - 2007.03.27 20:01:00 - [19] Eve = MMO = Multple players in a semi social game. Ie... solo piracy not meant to be easy. They have friends! Where are yours ? Wingman or two, always a good idea. Keep it small with out being a 'blob'... unless one is worried over e-peen. Neccisary game balances causes whining. Lack of validation of statement in ops post makes it a pointless whine at that. By the way, why is it every time some cats get together to defend themselves from a pirate they're suddenly a carebear blob ? Where is the destinction between defensive fleet and carebear blob ? Where's the distinction between pirate gank gang and blob ? Its all about who can be more leet. You can't pirate solo... so it isnt you. If this sounds as stupid to you as it does to me, I used the same lack of forthought as the op apparently

vonakaNBuster Minmatar The Movement	Posted - 2007.03.27 22:08:00 - [25] solo piracy is not dead at all, i do it often, just more fun to fly in small gangs imho.

Corwain Gallente Zero Team	Posted - 2007.03.27 22:44:00 - [27] Sure, and that's why I just took on a gank trap in a Blasterdomi (Tackleferox pretend NPCing with a Vulture and T2 Cruise/T1 Torp Raven cloaked nearby), killed the Ferox and Raven and MWDed away from the Vulture when I didn't have the DPS to kill him and ran out of cap charges. People need to learn that solo PvP is indeed alive and you don't need a ganksquad to get some killmails. Just intelligence and guts, if you have neither please do not apply.
illusha Halfwits The SUdden Death Squad	Posted - 2007.03.27 23:02:00 - [28] I fought a very exciting 1 vs 1 fight. We were both in a taranis, he had a weird setup that involved railguns, overdrive injectors, cap relays and I had the standard blaster setup. I won the fight with about 50% structure left and my good skills(t2 small drones, t2 blasters etc..) and my good piloting instincts (when to turn off some stuff to save cap and when to turn on the armor repairer) saved my life. I got probably 40 mil worth of stuff from the wreck and I had a very happy night. The point is you need to stop gate camping mara and passari all the time and move your ass around if you don't want to get ganked. I don't see you complaining about all the noobs in expensive ships you and your corp blobs in low sec empire, oh thats right, its okay when you do it. By the way, why shouldn't you get blobbed? You are a -5 pirate in empire, shut up and deal with it.

They'll be turned back on when I'm somewhere more suitable for someone of my talents.

Major Stormer Caldari Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2007.04.29 22:30:00 - [31] Ive spent today doing nothing but solo piracy. Travelled a good 200+ jumps to get 6 kills in total. Theres not much of it out there BUT it IS there.

That was one of the most awesomne things I have ever seen. I am new to the whole Piracy thing after having had too much of alliance *******s, but I got a solo kill last night, granted it was a nub but it was my first kill in acts of Liberation of Assets. I look forward to many more

Tellenta White-Noise	Posted - 2007.05.06 02:31:00 - [35] well not dead, seems most of the people that are worth shooting have friends.. last real 1 v 1 pvp i had was in 0.0 which followed a blob of unreasonable proportions... jumpclones are cool. an example of what not to do. flying an ishkur notice a thorax pirating in oldman star. in a pirating mood i scan furiously find somone... stab fitted and got away... jerk find the pirate thorax start fighting his drones are killed to the point of irrelivancy <word?> so i start killing him a touch more. the fight is won he will die soon!! domis come to his recue im dead... local is you friend use it that is all
Dark Kavar Caldari Aionios Diadochi The Makhai	Posted - 2007.05.06 03:04:00 - [36] no it's not, it's easy to find lone ratters and miners in low sec, you just need to be patient Kind of like the Triforce in Zelda, only not quite as potent.
Dahak2150 Chaos Monkeys	Posted - 2007.05.06 03:47:00 - [37] Solo PVP/Pirating seems to die a lot. Like once a week. Why hasn't anyone spawncamped it yet? ---------------- If you're on IE, pretend this is transparent while you get a browser that supports .png.

Rehn khaned	Posted - 2007.05.06 16:41:00 - [40] its not dead, just harder to find. which actually makes it even better when you find a target and blow his ship back into the warp
England Victorious	Posted - 2007.05.18 14:39:00 - [41] Its alot more challenging now which is good. But there seems to be alot less people ratting and mining in low sec systems close to empire!
Bodhisattvas mUfFiN fAcToRy	Posted - 2007.05.18 15:44:00 - [42] Edited by: Bodhisattvas on 18/05/2007 15:51:55 Oyez, Oyez, Oyez erm eve town crier here.... On this day of our sexy black bunnies, it be decreed that Solo Pvp be dead. This day onwards, carebears bring forth your ravens, shield tanked myrmidons, passive tanked drakes and barges etc etc. Let it be decreed you can go about your business in all regions of low sec free from the clutches of those who would pillage your hard earned belongings with a YARRRRRR I said YARRRRRRR. But seriously tho remove local chat and forums. Perhaps local chat could be someway tied to what your scanner picks up in a particular part of the system. A small system you scan and you see everyone who is there and consequently you see everyone in system in your local chat, but a large system you would need a number of scan points. Hell you could even chuck some more skills in to enhance your scanning abilty. How else would carebears know about the evils(joy) of piracy other than learning about it the hard way ? It seems like there are too many ways to ease the learning curve in this game. I learnt my meagre pvp skills in corp not by reading about it in forums. Solo pvp not dead tho, just seems less of and more region specific for some strange unbeknown reason. p.s never listen to corpies with alterior motives ie DON'T WANNA HURT THERE PURDY SEC STATS when choosing that choosen land where the carebears all wear blinkers proclaiming "it'll be ok piracy is dead YAY! "

Syril Sneer	Posted - 2007.05.18 16:37:00 - [44] I have to say that I'm enjoying high sec piracy more than with my other character who is low sec only. More potential targets naturally, and more lucrative targets. But I'm still an old belt pirate at heart.
Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2007.05.18 16:51:00 - [45] Your profession exists to take from other professions. Don't complain that it actually takes EFFORT to achieve this. On the flip side, if solo piracy was easy as mining, there would be no one playing EVE. Short and long of it is, no one likes to get stolen from, and CCP needs to balance there loses with their gains, else they will get fed up and leave. Pirates don't lose anything near to what the other professions do; perhaps a ship, CONCORD doesn't pod (they should), so what else is their to punish people for criminal acts?
Voidster	Posted - 2007.05.18 17:33:00 - [46] That's operating on the real life assumption that piracy is something which needs punishing. It shouldn't be punished in eve, why? It's a game. Real life comparisons should be made to real life to make a point. Real life comparisons to a game don't work. At least that's my belief.

Ja'kar Templar Securities and Holdings	Posted - 2007.05.18 18:13:00 - [48] LordChaos do u mena solo with 2 accounts? and solo is a lot harder now and thanks 2 wt0 some of the old ways are dead.. its not just getting a kill its about profit and yes i know u can still make a profit but its harder now and thats a fact
Raelosk Minmatar Continuum Rift	Posted - 2007.05.18 19:39:00 - [49] Nothing in this game is easy and fast. Even with mining you have to sit and chew rocks for a long time to make any decent money. So why shouldn't pirates have to actually HUNT for vict-- err...charitable contributors? It's the carebears that whine the most? feh If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo. -- Bruce Lee, Tao of Jeet Kune Do

Feng Schui Minmatar The Ninja Coalition Phobos Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.20 09:10:00 - [57] One that hunts for food won't typically go for the strongest in the pack, but he will go for the weakest, as they are more reliable to be captured / killed.

Soporo Caldari	Posted - 2007.05.20 13:35:00 - [58] Just do like every other prat out there and go Empire war deccing and ganking. Or bait n00bs and miners if you are desperate, like so many seem to be. Wait till the new missions get going, see what happens. It's not much of one but it IS a LowSec boost, in a way. Only question is, will it mean whole Corps moving in to do missions together, or will it be random solo peeps who eventually get tired of losing expensive ships while fighting 15 BS 20 frigs and cruisers and having to deal with some tool who sails in and attacks him. If it's the latter, then you are back to square one. If it's the former, then you are gonna get blobbed more often, also theres the potential of missioner coalitions attempting to take over or police a chain.
Red Crown Kudzu Collective Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2007.05.20 14:52:00 - [59] Piracy? Try PvP in general...you can't go around these days without being blobbed or blobbing. I find a lone Astarte on a gate and fight. He calls in 3 battleships from another system to take me out. I find a lone Sleipnir in a belt, he runs. I run into a passive tanked Drake, I run, its pointless. Damn you CCP - "The Mains Created the alts They rebelled They look...and feel...human Some are programmed to think they are human There are many alts. And they have a plan." - Forumstar Galactica
Mortuus Minmatar Viper Squad Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.05.20 16:18:00 - [60] Edited by: Mortuus on 20/05/2007 16:18:36 The big difference, some people hunt, others go looking for people to kill. Its a mindset and a way of fighting. On one hand, you find that 10 man camp, say "ah, I can't kill them all" and leave, on the other hand, as a predator you realise you just need to seperate the weak ones, so you go in, you warp out, and repeat. Slowly they get frustrated, and eventually a couple faster ships give chase either by warping after you or peeling off the gate. Then you strike, grab a couple cans and run. Solo PvP is very much possible and alive if you maintain that you are the predator. ex-Occassus Republica <3
Raelosk Minmatar Continuum Rift	Posted - 2007.05.20 19:17:00 - [61] Edited by: Raelosk on 20/05/2007 19:20:56 Edited by: Raelosk on 20/05/2007 19:20:05 Mortuss makes a good point. You, as a pirate, are a predator. You need to think and behave like one. Yes, many predator's such as wolves hunt in groups, but many also hunt solo. IE: Cheetah's, Tigers, Leopards, Cougars, and all birds of prey. The one's that hunt in packs usually go after prey much larger than themselves: a pack of frigates going after a BS. But the solo hunters will go after the weak and alone. Maybe it's not honorable, but pirating is not an honorable profession. You're in it for the thrill of the kill and hopefully some profit. You have to outsmart, out-maneuver, and surprise your prey. If they see you coming and run like hell, move to new hunting grounds, or change your tactics. There are many pirates out there that have come up with some very devious, ingenious ways of getting kills. There are also the tried-and-true so-called "lame" tactics. But if it works, how lame can it be? /edit for typos If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo. -- Bruce Lee, Tao of Jeet Kune Do
