Edited by: kessah on 13/10/2008 10:33:15 It just occured to me as i replace yet another battleship lost in the frey to another 10 vs me fight *got the bastard falcon though*, that ive been fighting alone for the most part, nearly 9 months. Nearly my longest stint id say.
Sure some people dont care, but im interested in asking those that do play solo for the most part how long they have been so, and what keeps them in this vagabond career choice in eve.
Im thinking of moving closer to corp mates... though the idea of returning to Ventrillo and taking/giving orders again discourages me.
You could say the Crime and punishment of this thread is, its a crime that im jammed and blobbed for the most part and punished by CCP for going solo.

Edited by: Cpt Branko on 13/10/2008 10:57:49 I actually like/prefer soloing... although I do at times enjoy small gatecamps - gatecamping is a relatively profitable and quite relaxing activity. I'm not a fan of bigger gangs in that scenario, as with too many people, loot gets split too many ways.
Other then that, I'm generally flying around solo in a Hurricane or a AF and off vent, occasionally ganged with a corpmate if I spot a target(s) I can't take and someone's around to assist. It just feels free - no time waiting for people to form up, don't have to take orders, can go where I want and do what I want... soloing is just liberating 
Ofc, it is kindof rough solo roaming in a BC in some parts of space; I actually had a cloak fitted on my last Hurricane for the nifty MWD->cloak tricks, after losing two canes in three days (one due to a roaming gang with rapiers on both sides, one due to uncloaking rapier catching me after jump-in and then a gang jumping before I got to murder the rapier ).

Soloing for me is:
Trusting my own skills. Beating the ods. Meeting new, exiting people. And killing them. _______

I've spent maybe 80% of my time solo, the other 15% on fleet ops in 0.0 and 5% in small gangs in low sec (2-4 man) and tbh I do prefer solo, I dont like having to switch off my music so I can get on ts and listen to people ask ''where are you what ship will I bring wait 25 minutes while I fit a ship in amarr / rens / jita and head to you'' usually by the time thats done I've moved 2 regions and they have to catch up again, and they usually bring something useless anyway like an eagle or a slow bs, or there is other obstacles like their sec status is too low to move through empire to different pockets of low sec (I avoid the large pocket of low sec where fw takes place like the plague)
Overall I feel the same as kesseh, a lot of solo'ing involves getting ganked to bits trying to roll the dice against superior numbers, and ofc if that isnt bad enough, you are usually gonna have some fgt in a falcon perma jamming you in the process, I jumped into a 6 man camp in a dominix other day, knew they were there thought I would engage anyway, 3 falcons uncloaked got away though, this is the standard scenario now for me.
--> engage 2 to 6 man gang solo --> falcon uncloaks --> bail or die
over the last 3 months thats probably happened to me 20 or 30 times, and I'm getting less and less inclined to roll the dice anymore, getting ganked over and over and over sucks, so running more and more in small gangs looks like the answer, but I would rather listen to music than other people tbh.

I much prefer to solo but i find it harder and harder to find solo targets always seems to be a blob.
I have sunk as low as can flipping (nothing wrong with can flipping but all i can bait is noobs) and now even with that blobs appear.

I used to pirate solo and loved it. Didnt do it for long though as went back to my carebearish ways .
Best thing about going at it solo is that when you get a nice kill I felt great. Although these great kills were a lot more rarer than when I did fleet's combat, it sure felt better and was sure worth the time and effort.

I like doing solo work, or small gang work. You need to relay on your abilities and experience, have to make the right decisions, in contrast to a big roaming gang killing one single person.

I go solo occasionally but pretty much never in a battleship like you are describing. You are too juicy of a target in anything bigger than a cruiser and it usually makes people call in 14 of their closest friends. I really prefer to fly in a small gang of 2-3 people in cruisers or smaller but it is just getting harder and harder to find a decent fight without getting blobbed or Falcon/Rapier'd to death. ----- My Pirate Blog: http://evenewb.blogspot.com/

Always solo in a Battleship, requires an alt scout, but after investing 5 years of skills into battleships, im couldnt justify flying any other class, Besides nothing is more satisfying than a good 'ole slug fest between the old behemoths of the skies.

Edited by: Xtreem on 13/10/2008 15:46:52 i play an odd style
I play solo mostly even when in player corps, i find it hard to meet many people that are happy to well just randomly kill stuff, that also dont mind staying in empire as well as 0.0.
So i tend to fly solo or with my trusty combat alt, and link up with many of my buddies out in 0.0 when the need strikes me.
I dont like 0.0 other than the odd gate bust becuase well, I find alot of people just dont like to fight out there, u enter a system with 30 people in and everyone will dock, you might catch one then they all get in there combat ships and you have 1 vs 20 lol
i like small group pvp, war decs, low sec gate camp busts and the likes, suits my style well.
you should start a corp for the pvp nomads of eve that like to throw ships into bad situations :D i'd join :)
i am quite sad though, i have my own killboard, just so i can look at my kills haha :D
/edit/ and in answer to the actual question, iv flown solo in pvp prob for the last year or 2, i guess, find it hard to settle into 0.0, although i did spend about 5 months living in fountain with aa group of buddies, which was ok but they were great buddies of mine, several of them have left game so i left back to my roots in empire as was just not the same in 0.0 without them :(

Been solo for about a month now and haven't faced down a single blob so far. Worst odds I've had to date was a Dominix and Drake fighting me in a Megathron, and that was a good fight.

6 man gate camp and you got away? How the hell did you manage that Or maybe I should ask... how did THEY manage that?
Yeah, soloing for me = only catching crap targets, everything decent warps out when I pop into local (I don't have a falcon/prober alt), or I just happen to be jumping through when the bigger, badder, or more numerous opponent is on the other side. Blobs are just as much a pain though, as loot gets too divided :/

I like flying solo, but more often than not I find it a very quick way to lose a battleship. 2 man gangs are very fun though, one to web and scramble the other to pop em. I have found hunting in popular pirate systems usually ends badly (ie Tama or Rancer)because the "noob" miner is typically bait for a 3-5 gang.
When I am solo hunting for people I have started taking my interceptor more over a battleship. It can take most frigs and it can high tail it if things get ugly. "From Hell's heart I stab at thee, for hates sake I spit my last breath at thee." |

I really like solo'ing because its instant action, and you have to be skillful to be successful.
I mean, if you are the 15th ship on a killmail, the gang could have easily ganked that guy without you.
Plus you never get groovy tunes on Vent and you don't get people screaming about the POS ships they picked up on their 360 degree scan.

What kind of ships do you guys tend to fly in solo pvp? Also do you stay in low sec only or pop into 0.0 at times? Are the lot of you only outlaws/only engage outlaws --> do you engage on gates?

Ishtar and Megathron at the moment. Ishtar for general roaming, with the Mega being used when I want a change or know there's a target somewhere. Really don't know what I'll do once the speed nerf comes through. Might switch to using a Harbinger/Geddon.
I've stuck to low-sec for the most part. 0.0 isn't bad, but I don't like having to deal with the camps and big roaming gans that are common there.
I'm not an "outlaw", my sec status is well above -5. I am NBSI though, so I shoot anything I come across. I'll engage pretty much anywhere as long as I have a decent chance of coming out ahead, but the overwhelming majority of my kills so far have been in belts.

Thanks for sharing. Personally I haven't done a alot of low sec pvp, mostly high sec and 0.0. The main issue I have with low sec is the fear of jumping into a gate camp if you're in a big ship. And because of this I need to fly small ships when I'm alone --> fewer targets. I think I'll give it a go again now soon that I have a second account running for scouting. I remember I found it really hard to find viable targets before.

I think most of my kills and losses have been solo. I'm still pretty new (3 months) but I love roaming around low-sec in my Thorax looking for fights, taught me a lot more about the game than running mish 23/7 would have. Plus the guys that are on in my corp when I'm on usually aren't that interested in losing sec status

Edited by: Cat Molina on 13/10/2008 22:35:15 It's a cycle.
I become so fed up with alliance/corp Bullshit 'N' Blobs I can no longer stand it and break off on my own, swearing I will never again belong to another collective of pre-pubescent moronic teenagers who believe if only they become the number one killer in Eve that somehow the world will finally understand their greatness and they'll get respect/girlfriends/self-esteem/etc.
I then spend some time attempting to drive solo battlecruisers through NPC 0.0 and get blobbed to death.
I finally give up on that plan and decide to go pirate (forever). Purchase heaps of ships and equipment, spend a week moving them in position... and then fly 20 jumps through low-sec looking for a target. (This is my current state.)
I'll then decide to only fly recons and live in 0.0 ganking miners/ratters-- sort of a one-man, lower-skilled Burn Eden. After a week I'll remember how boring that can be... killing only defenseless targets, and abandon the whole mess.
I'll consider only playing on the test server, where combat is always available, but realize that, in time, it means nothing.
I'll consider joining the Privateers, but given that they tend to dec Eve Uni, and as I'm ex-Uni, I'll decide against it.
I'll then spend a couple of weeks just changing skills, and start thinking that perhaps if I found the right corp things could be different.
RESTART CYCLE
However, this time I'm beginning to wonder if I should continue playing at all. I don't seem to fit anywhere.

I've been solo for many months now. Most fun I've had since I've been playing Eve (almost exactly a year now, on a few different chars).
Soloing and being flashy can be tough at the gates, especially with the FW guys hanging around in their blobs. So every once in a while I scan the recruitment forums, but the thought of getting on vent, waiting on people to form up, etc. quickly turns me off.
Since going solo, I've learned more about how to handle my self and my ship than I ever did in 0. I think there's quite a few people playing this game that are scared to death of flying solo in low sec - even quite a few "experienced" pirates from what I can tell. Solo is what separates the men from the boys.

Il give you some advice, whether you care for my opinion or not.
Dont do this.
The success i have in eve is owed 50% to my 2nd account. If you cant get an alt to move you in the required equipment within 4km3 then its too much. Fly ship by ship, one at a time and roam.
Set a pod respawn close to the centre of EvE and have your alt bring you a fresh fitting from jita each time.
If you plan on sticking around long enough, possibly have two fitted battleships for the odd time a counter attack is required.
If you intend to have this nomadic career choice, you cannot stick around in one place. Dont get personal, people will blob, jam do whatever they can to win, but if your not around long enough, they will not be able to get into that nemesis frame of mind and wont bring in the silly numbers to feel they beat you.
Being outlaw is being successful at making money from other peoples misfortune, the other half is knowing when your beat and move on. Its business.
BTW if you have a single account then by all means dont fly battleships solo. Battleship combat solo requires an alt.
Last piece of advice, dont join an organisation because they have a reputation. Its egotistical bullshit like that, that will leave you feeling like an idiot and most giving you less respect as your flying with Big heads. Sorry but im going to use Burn Eden as a prime example here.
-sorry.
Hope you find your feet.

I solo'ed for almost 18 months in my one-man corp. Strictly speaking, I *could* and *did* call upon help when overwhelmed or was asked by others to join their roaming gangs but it was never a definite thing. I died a lot, at least earlier on.
50% - 75% of my kills were solo.
I then joined Black-Flag and then The Bastards. Solo work is hard and recommend everyone try it. Get into a rifter and go!
Right now, Kane Rizzel is the solo pirate that I can think of. He still yarrs and kills and is doing well thank you very much. Not sure how long he has been solo.

Been flying pretty much exclusively solo since I started PvP'ing 1.5 years ago or so.
Omen -> Prophecy -> Brutix -> Hurricane.. and stuch here 
Over that time I've been in gangs like 3.. or 4(?) times 
Well, what can I say? I started soloing because of the uncomfortable timezone(GMT+6), after some time it got quite addictive Can't really imagine myself being a regular member of all kinds of gangs.. not really mine type of thing.
As for what keeps me playing solo - it's a drive on how far can you get - the extremes you can push yourself into And the satisfaction you get when you're defeating outnumbering forces or winning fights you shouldn't have won

About 50% of my kills are solo, still like to fly out the Rax and the Mega solo, bit oldschool today but well, keep dooing it because it is still fun.
Think about 9 Month for me to, since I left my corp after not realy having fun in 0.0 roaming Gangs and returned back to Low Sec PVP on a regular basis for the solo or small Gang action there.

Been soloing alot and it's is for me as a vacation really, just have to think about myself and can relax abit not having to be online alot as you do when you are leading a corp. However it gets boring eventually and you want to get back to "work", but it is a good motivation raiser.

I've been soloing for a very long time. Null space, lowsec, and empire wars, I do it all.
I originally started soloing because I felt it would make me a better pilot pvpwise. A solo pilot can operate in a gang no problem, but a pilot used to being in a gang cannot necessarily solo. I figure the best way to be at the top of a km is to be the only one on the km, other than the vic ofc.
I like the nomadic lifestyle, no committments, no hassles with corp politics or mandatory ops or worse yet meetings.

Edited by: Cheyenne Shadowborn on 15/10/2008 09:25:16 Flying solo in Eve since 2/2006 (i.e. when I started playing).
What keeps me?
- can't be arsed to wait for other ppl ("I'm just 5 jumps out" when its 57 ...) - deep dislike for constantly being on TS/Vent/whatever - someone once said Eve is very hard when solo'ed, so I want to win Eve in the one honest way - by taking over the entire galaxy as a solo pilot 
Not saying that solo play is any good though, can't find a 1 vs 1 fight EVER ...

I'm a big fan of solo roaming for many of the reasons already listed above. The biggest reason for me is that I can't block out the real world for hours on end (wife + job + etc...) and like the flexibility of just logging / docking / safeing up whenever I feel like it without adversely affecting others. I also don't like having to talk constantly or listen constantly on voice comms -- something best done in moderation.
That said, I -do- enjoy small gang PvP and chatting with people from time to time. I can even stand the occasional large fleet system camping, though only once every few months or so 
I'd have to say about 80% of my play is solo PvP these days. It's fun, it's convenient, and so far I haven't gone broke getting blobbed to death. I've been doing it for the last ~3-4 months and will probably continue with it. I can't see myself going 100% solo, as I enjoy the corp(s) I'm in, but flying solo is simply easier and more fun for me at the moment.

Originally by: kessah BTW if you have a single account then by all means dont fly battleships solo. Battleship combat solo requires an alt.
i do this because i dont feel like buying another account and ive spent all my time training battleships. The only real kills i get are fat battlecruisers. anytime i face a battleship, they always have backup. a lot of backup. usually falcons/rooks. what i try to do though is to pretend im an afk noob and i let people fire at me so i have gate guns on my side. sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesnt really matter. this isnt a single account/solo game :(
