You missed the entire point.
Soloing is about challenging yourself to see what you can achieve with 1 ship with or without links. Soloing is about that you can do as a pilot when you have noone else to rely on than your own skills. It is about using clever tricks and superior piloting to face multiple targets that would kill you if you can't outplay them. They think you are the prey, but instead they end up as dinner.
Now, the aspects of soloing doesn't just apply to a lone ship. Ultra smallgang pvp can bring the same rush as you and a few of your buddies can use way superior teamwork to overcome odds that are heavily stacked against you.
Atleast the soloing I do. Some people use 1v1s for easy kills. I pity them as they are slaves of their KB. One Man Crew - The official Bringing Solo Back contest

Also is there even such thing as solo pvp anymore? Seems like everyone at least has a fleet booster and a possible falcon backup.

I-RED and the alliance we were before that used to be into ultra small gang pvp. We had single digit numbers most of the time and we were not even particularly good but we still managed. I can remember trips into immensia with bombers and various other frigates. We killed battleships and everything. Dodged Titan AOE doomsday and lots of other fun stuff.
Probably some of the best fun I've ever had in eve.

Awesome project, some cool gents on the judges panel as well - I used to love watching Garmon and Adama in some of the old EIE videos. Looking forward to the final product, I'll see if I can come up with something worth submitting from my alt.

Try something different for a change, something you have not done yet or never would do?

I agree, try something different.
I started a short term goal a long time ago which I thought could be done very easily.
That goal is to complete all Event Agents active in Eve.
Man was I wrong. It's a lot tougher than it seems and has turned into a long term goal but hey, it keeps me busy and more importantly, keeps me subbed.

Good morning you lovely people!
In honour of my day off which i gave everyone in the office, I decided to go out with the mrs and a few people from the office for breakfast.
Which then lead to us going to do some light christmas shopping and a brief trip to the Tokyo Sky Tree, where we had lunch.
Now I'm back home and the mrs is trying on her latest purchases and im stuffed, yet we have made plans to meet everyone up again for dinner.
Today has some good eatin' in it! "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

Their self righteousness or that most of them ooze hypocrisy?
This isnt a dig at anyone here, just based on GD threads ive been reading over the years. Seems most people who want "solo" pvp really want one sided fights where they face no risk. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

This is the issue im in atm. I had a goal and achieved it... now my eve motivation is circling the drain and im playing skill queue online. To make things worse (or is that better?) on my weekends im spending more time outside which is my prime play time for eve.
I'm not going anywhere, just think a few weeks or maybe a month or two of skill queue online will be good for me. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

I have never had to urge to do solo pvp, to me the most fun and satisfying thing was always flying in a small tight knit group of friends.
I also remember killing one of these self proclamed "leet solo players". He would always try and lure people on thinking they could get a easy kill and a 1v1. But the reality was they could never kill him. He was always well prepared and a decent pilot. The thing was he always had a Falcon for backup if things went south.
So one day we had enough of this guy. He took our bait and started to kill it. Just as he was about kill it, the rest of our small gang warped in. He uncloaked his Falcon which we nuked right away, then we jammed his ship with our Falcon.
He was in trouble at this point and whined and cried in local about it being unfair and us blobbing him. We told him to ****off and blew his ship up. He never came back after that. Ohh Shiny |
