2 nights of hardcore action solo pvp.

1st night

Set up bubble 2 jumps from hub in fountain in my deimos wait for traffic. and wait.....and wait. 2 pods come in , see bubble and log. wait 90 mins...nothing.

so i unanchor bubble. Just as it unanchors to the second a 5 man gang comes in, steals bubble and runs away

Second Day

I setup my astarte and go from fountain hub - empire and back. No scout i figure if i die i die. Go for it.

On the route i encounter 2 nano gangs (m.pire / cruel intentions) that i bypass as i cant realistically fight them.

Literally every 2 jumps there is a farmer ( strange name + sec staus 5.0 + responds to chinese) that cloaks / safespots on entering system.

Get to empire gate, camp for a bit. Myrmidon gets in and makes it back to the gate Some frigs come in and warp off. 2 scouts in system seem to warn people of my presence.

At last a target ! A drake comes to the gate. I follow it into empire , tackle all guns blazing. It warps away :/ stabbed.

I head back to fountain , through the farmers...

At last some action.. (2 hours in) I see people being ransomed. Follow the pirates See two vagas on scan. Oh wait, scan clear. Surely not cloaking vagas?..

slothe > vagas with cloaks :/
Crulos > ;)
Sunstr0ke > ratters with cloak ^^
slothe > both equally sad
Crulos > bad 4 you
Crulos > good 4 us
slothe > bad 4 game
slothe > virtually everyone i passed from fountain central - emopire and back
slothe > cloaked
slothe > really really sad
slothe > and its not even like vagas need cloaks
slothe > they just run away
Sunstr0ke > lets go mine =D
Crulos > mining vaga ftw ::)
slothe > wouldnt surprise me

So end of day 2 - 4 hours on , no fights. Isnt 0.0 fun.

The illustration shows the following imho..

1. Cloaks are ruining 0.0 ( they have become almost a standard fit on any size ship. i have seen them on interceptors / cruisers / bc / bs etc...) Please nerf cloaks asap

2.Farmers are tainting 0.0 They are everywhere. I dont mind the farmers on a personal level, some are ok, but their prevelance degrades the game.

3. nano gangs are spoiling 0.0 ( yes i know i fly nano ships) (yes i know my corp pioneered nano gangs) (yes i know they can be countered) Nano gangs spoil 0.0 as no-one wants to fight them = less battles.

p.s. i am not criticising cruel intentions, m.pire or the guys i quoted here im just using them as examples.
