Arx Hammer Stay Frosty. A Band Apart. 3	Posted - 2016.12.30 14:03:49 - [31] - Quote https://zkillboard.com/kills/solo/ over 1000 solo kills already just today, looks alive and well to me...you just have to find it.

Suzanne Khale Tribal Liberation Force Minmatar Republic 18	Posted - 2017.01.08 14:16:20 - [33] - Quote I was going to start a topic, but this thread beat me. Solo PvP? Yeah, I wanted that. I have spent quite some times in WHs in SB; the easiest and more frequent targets are explorers. Not a real fight, you just ambush them and got the easy hand 95% of times. Some hero equip a PvP T1 (Heron, Imicus, Magnate) then it's more though. I tried the reverse and equip a PvP T2 (Buzzard is very funny) but you hardly bait anything. Astero are both a bless and a curse, a well fit Astero easily eat any SB or Cov Ops. But most Asteroes are terribly fitted (muh shine new ship, with 3 months skills) so you can get quite valuable kills on them (and loot). It's like shooting the red cross tho. Well, I decided to join FW to get some better PvP. I was so disappointed: almost everyone leaves a plex when a better or fairly matched ship show off on D Scan. I'd recall Factional Warfare like Chicken Warfare. So I am trying to figure out how to obtain a fight which is not just suiciding myself to a player willing to combat, or not betting on someone watching youtube while being in the Plex. Gatecamping PvP for me is a bore, almost completely dull. Probably WHs, due lack of Local and perfect ambushing (see and not be seen, which could be happening to you too) enviroments are the oly real solo PvP option left in EvE.
Rykker Bow The Scope 235	Posted - 2017.01.08 15:30:15 - [34] - Quote Tons of good posts here. Really, solo is alive and well and nothing is wrong with it. I think what you want and what is available are not nearly the same thing. IMO solo in eve is like fishing....lots of looking, lots of casting, lots of moving around. Then you either catch a 2 pound bass and tell everyone it was a 30 pounder or you die and tell everyone it was a 50 man battleship fleet with logi.

Cearain Plus 10 NV It Burns When I'm PvPing 1482	Posted - 2017.01.11 03:01:55 - [36] - Quote LInks really hurt solo pvp. Many people lost interest solo pvp when a certain percent of their losses were due to impossible odds due to a hidden enemy ship. The only option was to also have an ogb alt and accept that the game should become a chore. OGB persisted in this broken state for so long many solo pvpers left and many will never come back. It will take a while for it to build up again. But the actual mechanics are now pretty good for solo pvp. Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815
ivona fly Black Fox Marauders 34	Posted - 2017.01.11 06:23:01 - [37] - Quote People going to bait and blob so you can just try to be A. slippery to get out before fleet arrives. B. Have hella DPS to crush the tackle ship and get out, this will not work for dual plate punisher though In terms of A. I been thinking about a faction scram Command destroyer, with a point range link, idea is you can defensive scram and jump 100k and warp away Another tip, although might be obvious: Always drag the target away from the warp in point if you can when solo, if you are baiting try to keep them there . This means if their buddies land they can't scram/web you instanly.
W0lf Crendraven Welfcorp 470	Posted - 2017.01.11 20:27:57 - [38] - Quote So since people everywhere q.q a lot about no solo pvp i decided to test how long it takes to log in, get into a ship and then do some solo pvp and see how long it took me till i got a kill. So, i logged in (in highsec), jumpcloned to a lowsec system where i had a frigate (a succubus): I undock with 7 in local in Ardar, theres 4 t1 frigs in space doing stuff but i cant seem to pointpoint them, also theres a svipul hunting me so after warping around for 1 minute or so with the svipul always following me i decide to move on, i jump into the next system (Flosewin) where i find a hound doing a mission, i go for it but it runs away. So i move on to Aset. Theres a retribution and a few stealthbombers on scan, but they all clear out quite quickly, i check the surrounding systems but bar a few herons scanning i cant really find anything. So i move back towards Ardar, i find a few more bombers running the fw missions but they all have a brain and manage to warp out (close call with a manticore within 20km once). Ardar itself is also empty bar an algos doing weird stuff, but it always runs when i arrive on grid (being -10 doesnt help). So i jump into Hadozeko, and there we have a rupture somewhere in space, a tristan in a novice and somwhere a caldary navy hookbill and a retribution. I warp in onto the novice, seeing if the tristan has balls (tristans are so easy to use, and people think they are extremely op, that they usually tend to try above their weight) - it does, although i think its more due to him being very new to the game. https://zkillboard.com/kill/59096535/ Its not really fit very well, and its a t1 frig with t1 mods by a new character, but still - first solo kill 17 minutes after logging in. So i saw the retri and the hookbill on scan ealier and the second the tristan died they both wrote gf in local, which made me curious, dscan was empty for me so i warped to the only complex more then 14 au away (roidiest rage or something), the hookbill is 200km away and the retri 500km. So i decide to burn for the hookbill, it bails when i come within 60km but the retri starts to burn towards me, i oblige and a few minutes later this happens https://zkillboard.com/kill/59096824/ (24 minutes after logging in). Because i was mean to the hookbill pilot in local, claiming he was a coward for not fighting a turret frigate in a hookbill he asked me to 1v1 him inside the novice - https://zkillboard.com/kill/59096969/ (27 minutes after logging in). Then i logged out. So no alts, no fleet, nothing but a solo frigate - within 30 minutes i got 3 kills, 2 of them being actual fights. Which leads to my conclusion that solo pvp is perfectly easy to find and you dont even need more then half an hour to get a few GFs.

Look over by Amamake on the killboards. Lots of T1 frigates dying to other T1 frigates. Lots of Faction frigates dying to T1 and Faction frigates. But, at the same time people also use the expectation of "solo" to gang ** the ** out of you with 3 of their friends and some griffins. I know there are a few players who recently started some frigate and dessie PVP characters to go solo around there. Solo though doesn't exist in anything larger than cruisers. Frigates and Destroyers is where to go. Go out, get some cheap 10 to 40m ships. Frag some nerds, get fragged. Buy new ship. Rinse and repeat. I will note: There are several people who will honor 1v1s in the area as well. Just have to figure out who exactly they are.

Sounds like OP's story does not check out :) we are finding solo PvP is your security status HIGH? that might actually prevent you getting fights anywhere but plexes, because you will have Gate/Station guns on your side, and they are near insta death most frigtes. If you have high sec status loot or do something to get a suspect / criminal timer.
