Greetings everyone!
There is plenty of information about PVP ships and the fittings.
But I would like you to ask how you would fit ships depending from ISK input?
Would you buy expensive gear for the T1 ship and if yes then what are the best ships to do that?
Or better gear better suits T2 and T3 ships?
My favorites are: Thorax, Vexor, Algos and planning to fly Talos as well that's T1.
In future planning to fly: Gila, Ishtar and Orthus.
How you would fit these ships for the SOLO PVP in - SEC?
Would like you to share your thoughts on the best way how to spend ISK for those ships.
And is the T2 gear better then Fraction or other way round?
Any information and advise is welcome.
Thank you. |

No, I will spend my SOLO time alone and without backup. I appreciate the advise.
At present moment and more likely next year at least I will be using Cruisers and will start to try out BC - like Talos for example.
I understand that SOLO PVP is much more expensive and I will need to be flexible. Gallente ships mostly are about armor so I guess active repair will have the advantage in Solo comparing with passive but in Gila and Orthrus case things are different.
Should I lean towards DPS or Kite and Repair?
In DPS case (I think) I have less chance to survive a small gang of gankers but I will have better chance of winning Solo fights where Kite could keep me relatively safe but will take longer time to win the battle.
Which are the RULE items in PVP SOLO ship?
Like - Active repair for the Armored ships, Active shield regen for shield type or Energy Neuts would be great to have in high slots...
Is there like a few important items in High, MID and LOW slot which are used by SOLO PVP pilots? |

I do prefer DPS over the tank but several times to ship which has less DPS but more CAP, Self sustain and other nasty things like double webfires, energy neuts and other ''Hard to Fight against'' stuff.
Close distance fights usually ends up me flying a POD but is a keep a distance I'm not able to hold other ship long enough to finish it because he manages to get out of my scrambler, webfires or warp disrups - so I guess my tactics are wrong + fit as well.
But I like to have close range battle.
It's hard to decide which fit is better is SOLO case because being SOLO PVP pilot requires a good and versatile ship with balanced gear on it. And so far I failed to find the best way to go.
But versatility means mixing stuff together. A bit of DPS, Tank, Speed, Self Sustain...
I see a lot of Tengu, Vexor Navy Issue Solo guys.
My favorites ships are mentioned above. After reading your advice guys and my experience I start to think that I will take Gila of my list because Gila is mostly distance keeping ship with drone+missile DPS so more likely everyone will escape from me.
That leaves me with Orthrus, Ishtar from expensive shelf and Thorax/Vexor.
My main goals are: to travel around, catch someone and not let it go + if it's equally good ship drain him out and if someone arrives to help the guy I could hold my own.
What would be your suggestion regarding the fitting?
I'm clumzy pilot but have a good shiff for the fight |

What you are flying when you do SOLO PVP? And who you engage with the ship you picked.
Is it the specific fit you rely on and which you discovered works for you or the ship you fly? Should I find the best ship first or I should pick the ship depending from META and then look to find my fit? |

The orthrus. http://failheap-challenge.com/showthread.php?16910-PVP-orthrus&p=1599977&viewfull=1#post1599977
I really liked Orthrus explanation in your link. Is it still an overall top cruiser to work with?
Talking about Ishtar - Vexor Navy Issue is better option?
Thank you for fitting advise on all the ships. I looked at my current skills and I can fit nearly all T2 gearon cruisers except some guns.
So after all your advise (great thanks to you all) here will be my small resume:
* I will pick a semi tanky ship with active repair.
* Most likely close range with strong fight control.
* Will put at least 1 energy neut in high slot + blasters or light missiles if it's missile ship.
Talking about current ship choice - Orthrus, Cynabal and Vexor Navy Issue. Currently I can fully fit only Vexor NI but will work on to getting my skills for the rest of the 2.
Most likely I will need a better research on Cynabal's fitting.
After what you guys explained then I will be facing a tough life at the start. As I realized already that most of my fight started as Solo PVP but ended up gank PVP on my back.
Planning to fly Solo in relatively quiet - sectors where I could place a bubble or catch someone of guard.
Question what ships I can relatively safely engage with every one from this TRIO (above)?
I do believe that these ships counters other ships and they are countered by some as well.
So,
Vexor Navy Issue can go against - ?
Orthrus can engage - ?
Cynabal can take a fight on - ?
Thank you again. |

Thank you! I did read your guide and found it very informative.
I just have feeling that T1 cruisers will not be enough to start go in Solo PVP - too many T2 and higher ships are flying around and as well looking for the fight. Probably best I can do with T1 cruiser is go for all type of frigs (if I can catch them and T1 destroyers.
I will go for the Vexor for the first few Solo PVP trips but after I need to go for a bit more capable PVP ship. I respect the fact that good Solo PVP pilots lost a hellava lot of ships at the start before they found their way/style of PVP.
I need to do the same. I read a lot and seems like more I read more questions I have. Like for example now: I realized I like close range fights and couple of pilots recommended me to look towards Ashimu (Blood Rider Covenant cruiser). Ships price isn't bad and it is underrated.
Again Thank you everyone peops - really!
So, first few Solo PVP trips I will use Vexor with dual rep, cap booster and 1 energy neut in high slot.
After that still thinking between Orthrus, Vexor Navy and a new ship on my radar Ashimu.
After practising with Vexors I should have the idea how it works for me and what's my style of solo PVP.
I checked all your zkillboard guys and can tell that looks like you became a good pilots relatively quickly. I just don't have that understanding yet.
That's why EvE is so good and so upseting in the same time.  |

So which Algos works better Rails and kite type or Blasters and EHP?
I see benefits in both of them but rails should fit Algos drone bote type better and in that case T2 Warp Disruptor is necessary - am I right? |

Guys - how you would go for Solo PVP?
Would you roam around and look for the fight or you would stay in your well known system and sort of camp it?
To me seems that roaming gives more experience and knowledge of the systems.
On other hand camp is more safe because that would mean me picking the fight and choosing fight or not to + roaming is more expensive cuz you never know into what you can bump in.
Both has benefits. FW is sort of solution but it's very high possibility that to defend or attack me will arrive on better ship or more quantity. At least that was case for me in several occasions. |
