Broggo Yimmix The Darwin Society	Posted - 2008.11.03 18:21:00 - [2] Create a one man corp and dec another corp?
Highwind Cid	Posted - 2008.11.03 19:01:00 - [3] In Warhammer you could simply type in /rvr to enter open pvp mode on the fly. Naturally you would have to have your opponent do the same. This wouldn't prevent getting ganged however. But it's a simple trick CCP may or may not be able to implement.

Eschiava Q Minmatar Maximum Yarrage	Posted - 2008.11.03 19:28:00 - [5] Hi Imortalin, Well, if you're feeling particularly brave and don't mind the very high likelyhood of losing a ship, you can try low sec. Use your star map to find a system that is not too heavily populated, but not empty either. Use your scanner to find a likely victim and pounce! You'll need some safesopts and a constant eye on your scanner to make sure you're not about to become a victim as well.
Jack Gates Gallente GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.11.03 20:34:00 - [6] get in an interceptor and attack other interceptors in lowsec or just ask people for 1v1 frigate/cruiser duels
Highwind Cid	Posted - 2008.11.03 21:32:00 - [7] Quote: I actually suggested something similar (flagging yourself), and zulu responded promptly that it reminded him too much of WoW. Targeting Zulu, god forbid you take something as minor as open flagging from a largly successful game.
Somal Thunder Intergalactic Peace Organization	Posted - 2008.11.03 21:50:00 - [8] I find it quite fun to roam around low-sec... takes a lot of time and the success rate isn't great but it can be fun sometimes.

techzer0 IDLE GUNS IDLE EMPIRE	Posted - 2008.11.03 23:43:00 - [10] Solo roam in a battleship... preferably faction ------------ Originally by: Nexus Kinnon I could outgay you even without my pink tutu. >.>
Cat Molina Minmatar Psychotic Inc.	Posted - 2008.11.04 01:10:00 - [11] Quick Tutorial: Determine what type of ship you're hunting (I'd suggest hunting Rifters... they're popular). Select a solid combat ship and fitting designed to kill your target, insure, and update your clone. Please stick to frigates while learning to PvP... they're cheap and you'll die a lot when starting out. If you don't know how to use the scanner, look up a tutorial on it and practice in high-sec. The scanner is an invaluable tool; not only shows you targets, but gives advance notice when you're about to be gang-banged. Set up combat Overview settings. Jump into a pirate hotspot. Make a variety of safe spots, and keep moving. Don't linger at any one spot for too long... you'll be probed out. Just long enough to scan what's around you. See a target? Start narrowing down where he is. If you're in a frigate, destroyer, or cruiser, you cannot engage at gates or stations. Fight in the belts or at planets. Trust your instincts. Yeah, there's one Rifter running around out there, but there's also two Rapiers and a Nemesis that showed up on scan momentarily, a Falcon flying about, an interceptor, 2 battlecruisers, and a battleship moving about. You're solo in a frig, and that's too many bad guys in play. Bide your time. If someone is playing games (i.e., you show up in a Rifter, they go get a Rupture, you back off, they get back into a Rifter, etc.), just don't bite. Don't play your opponent's game... stick to the plan. If no one wants to play, go watch tv or read a book. Come back in an hour and you'll find things have changed drastically (the nature of the pirate hubs is that nothing lasts long). There. You've been moving around for about 20 minutes, and now we're down to just a battleship, a thorax, and that Rifter, still flitting from belt to belt. Narrow down his location (or determine where he will go next) and jump him. If you're new to combat, you're going to be charged with adrenalin and shaking. Don't sweat it, happened to us all when we started, and fades with time. If you win, say Good Fight (gf) in local, grab the loot, and get to a SS. If you don't want to lose access to Empire, I'd not pod. If you lose, get your pod out and then say good fight as you warp to a SS. Don't let typing GF get your pod popped... time enough for that when in warp. If you've got a red Global Criminal Countdown timer in the upper left-hand corner of your screen, and you're still flying a ship, you're going to have to travel safe spots until it ends. Approach a gate and sentries will fire upon you. Probably more that I've missed, but that's the basics of it. Good luck and have fun.

Mixed success, I'd say. You flag yourself for PVP by pushing the LOGIN button. Not quite. You get flagged for PvP when you activate an offensive weapon type of module on a target. I can't just go in and pew pew, well I can but it would be a good way to waste a lot of isk.

Ka Jolo The Tuskers	Posted - 2008.11.04 05:43:00 - [18] Originally by: Imortalin I want to try other types of solo pvp and I have no idea what else can be done for fun in solo pvp... Thanks... Legal targets any time, anywhere (including highsec) Someone takes something from your jettisoned cargo container Someone loots the wreck of a NPC ship you killed Someone loots the wreck of your own ship Pilot is at war with you Pilot is in a different faction than you Pilot initiates aggression on you So, for example, you could rat at asteroid belts, then attack anyone who loots the wrecks of the rats you killed. Or you could challenge someone to a 1-v-1, and jettison a round of ammo for them to loot, while you loot a round of ammo jettisoned by them, for mutual kill rights. In lowsec, the same rules apply, but there is no CONCORD to enforce them. Sentry guns (found only at jump gates and space stations) will still fire upon, you, but nothing happens to you if you simply attack a ship that is mining or ratting or baiting at an asteroid belt, planet, moon (watch out for POS weapons), complex, etc. Lowsec pirates often therefore attack miners and ratters at asteroid belts. In nullsec (0.0), there is no CONCORD, no sentry guns at jump gates, etc. You can attack anybody you want to, anywhere, anytime. You won't lose security status for doing so. (Of course, anyone else may also attack you.) If you can tank sentry guns (say 300 DPS) plus your intended targets DPS, you can attack ships even at jump gates and space stations in lowsec.

Dikanal	Posted - 2008.11.04 06:51:00 - [20] Originally by: Dirk Magnum In case anyone missed it somebody in this thread endorsed PvP flagging. If flagging was introduced as a totally independent stand alone mechanic and didn't replace any current mechanics I don't see why its such a bad idea, would be fun imo in empire space if you could fight other flagged players in high sec and avoid sentries and sec hits in lowsec. It need not and should not remove nonconsensual pvp but allow the people who want to fight to do so wherever they are and not need war decs or any other mechanic.

Voluntarily removing one's own CONCORD protection to fight others who have done likewise seems like a fairly harmless addition.
Lara Torrin Gallente Torrin Heavy Industries	Posted - 2008.11.04 07:18:00 - [22] Originally by: Dirk Magnum Now this is alright. Voluntarily removing one's own CONCORD protection to fight others who have done likewise seems like a fairly harmless addition. Isn't lowsec a "Voluntarily removal of one's own CONCORD protection".. Being for fighting PvP or for other means, wouldn't going to lowsec effectively do what you want?
Dirk Magnum Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2008.11.04 07:41:00 - [23] I should have added to my earlier post that I don't view Low Sec as having the sole purpose of being a place where piracy is allowed without CONCORD intervention. Low Sec should be a lot more and should serve a purpose in the wider game (other than supplying a some moon materials), and piracy should just be incidental. If you added CONCORD-free PvP flagging what would you do about sec status hits? If you removed them then Low Sec as it stands right now would serve even less purpose, since few would hazard sec penalties if sec hit-free PvP flags occured in High Sec. I dunno. There'd be a right way and wrong way to implement it and a wrong way could really suck.

There'd be a right way and wrong way to implement it and a wrong way could really suck. people like me would still be too lazy to kill rats so unless they did a reset of ppls sec status with the change i'd still be in low sec waiting to kill you. But it is interesting, the only appeal of fighting in empire (such as being in an empire wardec corp) is the inability of your opponent to drop a blob of carriers on you. But then again, They'd most likely respond with "oh crap we can't beat you with 2x your numbers, and can't use caps? NEED MORE X's GUYS we're not engaging until we have 4x their numbers!" and well, you too lose the ability to field capital ships, so bleh. -------------------------- NOTR How to Fail at Eve

Thanks... There are agents in every station that will offer you all the solo pvp you want. You even get bounties for killing your targets!

Highwind Cid	Posted - 2008.11.04 16:31:00 - [27] Originally by: t72Buttz but! what if i gots longsword of fukkin death!!!111ELEVEN I would have to report you for exploiting swords within the internetz spaceships game. On a serious note. What would be wrong with it, thematically it works out. Both parties agree that they will do without the assistance of CONCORD. Think of it like a brawl on the street. Maybe if it's in high sec but a 15 minute timer or so until CONCORD comes(or as previously mentioned not at all). Just some ideas.
Eschiava Q Minmatar Maximum Yarrage	Posted - 2008.11.04 16:43:00 - [28] Edited by: Eschiava Q on 04/11/2008 16:44:14 I don't see the point. Why add a new mechanic along with the additional code complexity and maintenance issues that always ensue when we already have mutual can stealing as a way to enable Concord free PvP? IMO, it's not worth the effort given that it would be a near duplication of a mechanic that is already in place and tested.

Eschiava Q Minmatar Maximum Yarrage	Posted - 2008.11.04 18:30:00 - [30] The one ammo drop is actually a lot quicker than mutual flagging. Unless the flaggers want to be attacked by everyone that is in the area they'd better find a safe spot, which means they'll likely have to fleet so one can warp to the other. If we each drop 1 ammo, we can fight right here, right now.
