Jacen Matthews Universal Resource Allocation 0	Posted - 2011.09.12 06:14:00 - [1] - Quote Hello all, I am a relativly new player, been playing less than 4 months. I have played most of that solo, or missioning with a friend. I want to start doing some PVP, however, I do not want to do "Gang" or "Fleet" PVP. I want to be able to go out on my own, or with a friend and get into some trouble. This however, seems counter to what everyone else does in this game. Is this strategy just not valid? Am I looking in the wrong places ( I flew to 8 different lowsec areas in a four hour peroid, not one fight).? Just throwing this out there, I cannot join most PVP corps due to the fact that I cannot use voice comms (no hearing). Any advice would help, maybe this is just not the game for me? Thanks!!
Burseg Sardaukar Sardaukar Merc Guild General Tso's Alliance 0	Posted - 2011.09.12 06:25:00 - [2] - Quote Team play is pretty important in EvE, but 1v1 fights are a blast (however pretty rare). Can baits with promises for 1v1 outside of major hubs, (Dodixie is my closest and one I am most familiar with) are always lies, and RR is rampant. The most common area where I've had some good 1v1 action is with assault ships in the 1/10 Serpentis Drug Outlet in Seyllin. Sure, there are times when a 5 man AF/EAF gang will go in there, or even my own Alliance will trickle more and more people in there in attempts to get "in on the mail" of an unfortunate individual, but a good chuck of the time you can get into some frigate-size skirmishes.
Four OfThree School of Applied Knowledge Caldari State 0	Posted - 2011.09.12 06:28:00 - [3] - Quote The pvp alone is not usually a good idea for a younger player. It's been my experience that that is a good way to lose a ship. I ran a POS in a wormhole alone and you can get alot of excitement that way, usually people stumble into wormholes alone or in small groups. By the time you understand how to live in a wormhole the time to pvp can be choosen by you - not dictated by your enemies and you'll lose alot less isk. Outside of empire pvp isn't done alone, like they say - if you get in a fair fight at least one of you has screwed up. Todays words of wisdom - give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Maltese Corto Legionari 0	Posted - 2011.09.12 06:31:00 - [4] - Quote hmmmm that's odd, you should've been dead by now ;) ok other than that, what do you think about joining the Militia? i dont think it will take you to a 1on1 fight with someone (wich is a rare thing anyway) but i'm quite sure you would enjoy it. it's well explained in this article here http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Factional_Warfare spend some time reading it also feel free to check out some videos on youtube, there's quite a lot of them out there wich will give you the feeling on what is all this about also, try to avoid low sec areas as much as you can, i recently got poded while actually beeing in warp so not much one can do when encounters experienced evil pirate :)

Solo PvP is really more about trying to avoid people looking for a fight and catching people who don't want to fight. Generally if a person is looking for a fight you are going to most likely be facing bad odds so solo activity usually falls into the realm of piracy. 1. Class 1-3 Wormholes: Probobly your best hunting grounds, generally speaking these types of wormholes are held by the less prepared. Camping a wormhole gate in a cloaked ship is oen way to go, gives you the element of suprise but just in general you can find some action suitable for solo in these types of wormholes. 2. Wormhole to 0.0 : Getting out to 0.0 solo can be a risky proposition as getting through entry points that are often camped can end your day before it begins. Thanks to wormholes (again) you can get out into 0.0 and solo roam. You have to really pick your fights here and agains stealth is the order of the day but the advantage you have is that wormholes that go to 0.0 can be in the heart of someones territory and you can often find ill prepared pilots doing stuff in "their space" under the false impression that they are safe. 3. Low Sec Mission Runners: Finding them unoticed can be tricky, so you have to be quick with it but a bit of practice can yield some good PvP and again, you are likely to be at the advantage since they will be rigged for PvE. Be ready to face some fierce tanks though and don't assume a PvE fit can't kill you. 4. Can Flipping: Eh.. this one can hardly be called a PvP op since you are effectively trying to goat people who don't want to fight into a fight. But its one way of doing it. 5. High Sec Ganking: Eh.. again.. hardly PvP, but can be an entertaining and sometimes profitable pass time, though more often than not you get the action without the rewards, especially when doing it solo.
St Mio Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 25	Posted - 2011.09.12 06:38:00 - [6] - Quote Solo PvP in FW is possible but you're going to spend a lot of time running away from fleets. Also you probably won't be getting into any intel channels while in a NPC or one man corp which makes finding fights and avoiding blobs a bit harder. Still I'd definitely recommend you give it a try. I spent a good few months in a non-FW low-sec region trying to get into PvP without much success. Joining FW I've had much more success, and gotten some awesome 1v1 fights, even before I joined a player corp (on my other character obviously)
Cyzlaki Interstellar eXodus BricK sQuAD. 100	Posted - 2011.09.12 06:39:00 - [7] - Quote Advice from a solo player: Use DOTLAN to plan your roam ahead of time. Use D-scanner like it's going out of style. Use gank fitted ships (max dps) - time is never on your side. If you see an opportunity to go for a kill, do not hesitate. Try to use long range setups too, as kiting lets you escape faster when the inevitable blob shows up to help your target. If possible use a throwaway alt to scout gates. Do not fly super expensive ships. Only engage when you know you can win. I've successfully fought solo in all areas of EVE, but arguably 0.0 is the best place to try it - if you know where to go. Stay away from alliance HQ station systems (again, use DOTLAN). This increases their reaction time to your attacks. Have fun.

Suitonia Genos Occidere HYDRA RELOADED 11	Posted - 2011.09.12 07:00:00 - [9] - Quote Solo PvP is the most enjoyable thing about this game (and tbh the only reason why I'm still subscribed) in my opinion, although it can be very frustrating at times due to not finding fights, people unwillinging to fight you without massive advantages, ECM, and people using tactics like instalocking gatecamps designed to destroy small solo flown ships. When you do get a decent fight, or catch and kill a guy and warp off as his blob lands, it can be super fun and adrenaline pumping! My Advice would be, as mentioned above, start in the 1/10s in populated lowsec systems. You can get some good 1vs1s there, and due to the gated plex mechanic, you will only end up fighting similar ship classes to your own. You can also usually avoid getting ganged up on in the plex too because of the acceleration gates, meaning that you will see any other people coming in on the directional scanner, and if the guy coming for you is trying to bait you by having his buddy(ies) outside of scan range, chances are most frigates fights are over and done with by the time people can bring in more ships since they have to travel a decent distance (usually about 40km + a 15-20 second warp from outside scan range). You're also less likely to be baited in complexes with cloaked ships. If you don't end up getting a fight you can at least come away with some relatively decent complex loot. Assault ships are fairly cheap too most can be t2 fitted for around 20-25mil. So losing one isn't the end of the world. Here are some general tips. The Directional scanner is your best friend. Learn how to use it, it's the best tool in your entire kit as a solo PvPer. It will tell you where people are, and is useful for hunting people down, it will tell you when backup is coming. I literally cannot stress enough how useful and awesome the Directional Scanner is. Make sure you go to General Settings on the Escape Menu, and make sure that show session change timers is checked. This will help a ton if you jump into a gatecamp. Make sure you always wait out the session change timer before attempting to reapproach. (It will appear as a spinning circle item on the top left corner of the screen when you have session change, mouse over it to see how much longer your session change is). If you attempt to jump or dock while session change is still active, you will get "session change in progress" and will be unable to jump. When you undock, and find a camp outside. (if you dock in lowsec/0.0). Press CTRL+SPACE to stop your ship. This will not break your invulnerability timer, and for smaller stations models will prevent you from drifting outside the dock range. then just wait out session change before attempting to redock. Thermodynamics is by far the single best and most rewarding skill to train for PvP. +15% damage on your weapons, +50% speed on speed modules etc. Make sure you have it trained. You can always save your pod in lowsec. When you are dying make sure you have something selected in your "selected items" window above your overview, and spam the warp button on the window. When you die this will cause your pod to warp instantly. It helps to have an overview setting with just planets, or just moons, or something. You can switch to it when its clear you're going to lose, click on something there and then spam the warp button on selected items. Learn different ship match ups and weaknesses. It helps to play about with ships in EFT, but it helps even more to fly against them and note how your ship and setup performs. I personally solo in 0.0. I find that it's more rewarding in general, although its obviously a lot harder since in general most people in 0.0 do not want to fight and most PvP there for me is killing interceptors that are part of a bigger fleet by baiting them away from their gang and or to planets, and finishing them quickly before the larger fleet can react. 0.0 can be kind of boring/blueball worthy if you don't find a fight, and it's further from highsec if you want to retire, and bubbles+gatecamps are more common. I recommend learning the ropes in empire first. Avoid highsec station fights/PvP. Most of the people who do it have logistic alts or some kind of hidden advantage such as gang links, pirate implants or corp mates ready to help out.

Going to add: Ensure you have access to a small empire income stream (losses happen). Take the time to max skill for specific ships. A max skilled T1 Cruiser pilot can inflict a surprising amount in a short time. edit: Max skill a Stabber.
Din'stalor Alaric Intergalactic Syndicate Nulli Secunda 2	Posted - 2011.09.12 07:40:00 - [11] - Quote No one has meantioned anything about what ships work well for solo pvp, so since i have some experience on this subject, ill give it a go. Low sp, low isk, and for learning, you should really be going for the Rifter, its a great t1 frig. Buy a handful, try out a few fits and find your feet with it. The gallente route would be the incursus, again a great frig. Slightly more sp, low isk, grab a rupture fill the highs with ac425's and stick a plate in the lows, ot go nano and fill the lows with damage mods, great ship and will be your first introduction to a half decent dps. Gallente side of things look to the vexor, more skill intensive to get the dps out of with the need for t2 drones, however as with all gallente ships, you put they sp into them, and they do repay you in the long run. Other note worthy ships not far from a 4month old toons reach - Hurricane, fully skilled and nano gank fitted, your looking at nearly 850dps with 35k ehp, my personal choice of solo boat btw, also others such as vagas, cynabals, drams, ishkur, TARANIS. Hope that helps get you going, theres some great advice in this thread, one thing i will say though, if you've been refused entry into pvp corps or alliances due to being deaf, i think we would all like to see you name and shame these corps or people. Feel free to hit me up in game if your after any fits btw.

Am I looking in the wrong places ( I flew to 8 different lowsec areas in a four hour peroid, not one fight).? It's a perfectly valid tactic. Just be aware that PVP "happens" more in certain areas than others (e.g. in low-sec areas closer to high-sec) and that not everyone is looking for a "good fight" (see: they just want to "gank you" and be done with it). Jacen Matthews wrote: Just throwing this out there, I cannot join most PVP corps due to the fact that I cannot use voice comms (no hearing). Don't worry too much about it. The group I run with is pretty sure one that of our best guys is a deaf-mute (largely based on our own moronic speculation)... and he/she/it(?) manages to keep up just following us around, asking questions in chat, and shooting what we shoot in a large engagement (and/or picking off targets of opportunity independent of us). If you join a good group of people and explain your situation, they might accommodate. But yeah... larger groups beyond small gangs you'll have issues with as they are dominated by EVE Voice, TS, Vent, and Mumble. Jacen Matthews wrote: Any advice would help, maybe this is just not the game for me? If you really want to stick with solo/dual-player combat then I'd suggest training up the Minimtar ship line. They offer a good selection of "skirmish ships" that can get you into fights and out of them if it turns out to be a "trap"... provided you learn how to fly them well.

Othran Brutor Tribe Minmatar Republic 15	Posted - 2011.09.12 09:56:00 - [15] - Quote Jacen Matthews wrote: Just throwing this out there, I cannot join most PVP corps due to the fact that I cannot use voice comms (no hearing). You should be able to follow easy enough with broadcasts & someone copying relevant voice comms into fleet channel - some corps do that anyway once the fleet is big enough as people miss voice commands. Huge fleets will be a problem I'd guess. As to solo - yeah you can do it. Finding fights 1v1 shouldn't be a problem for you at this stage of your character's life - once the character is a bit older and has more known kills then 1v1 turns into 1v2 etc. If you can't find fights then move area - personally were I you then I'd ignore low-sec and just try npc-null regions. Yes there are bubble mechanics to deal with but the sentry guns don't fire at you which means you have a LOT more options. Oh and you don't take sec hits or have to worry how many timers you have currently running

Elvis Preslie NRDS Securities Apocalypse Now. 0	Posted - 2011.10.05 01:09:00 - [17] - Quote Like we've been saying for years, we need a small region for solo people to hang out in; also, this guy needs to learn what he can already do solo, in null security. Come to providence and you can get into a lot of trouble; we're NRDS, not red dont shoot. You become red to us, you got in trouble by attacking someone Then, let the games begin :D
Renan Ruivo Hipernova Vera Cruz Alliance 73	Posted - 2011.10.05 01:17:00 - [18] - Quote Four OfThree wrote: The pvp alone is not usually a good idea for a younger player. It's been my experience that that is a good way to lose a ship. I disagree. If you learn how not to lose a ship while doing solo PVP.. or at least get to the point where you kill more than you die, then you already have much more skills than 80% of all so called "pvp'ers". The most important skill a pilot can have is how to stay alive, and not how to kill people fast. Do the first, the second will come naturally. So you will lose a shitton of ships at first.. but unless you have some sort of mental deficiency (or mental laziness) you will, literally, HTFU. Sometimes the only difference between a budding genius and a blooming idiot is where they chose to take a stand.

Cearain The IMPERIUM of LaZy NATION 56	Posted - 2011.10.05 03:04:00 - [22] - Quote FW is a good way to get solo fights. Go to a system with allot of wartargets or even neutrals. Jump in a fw plex, move away from the rats so they don't attack you and see what jumps in. Everything suitonia said applys to fw plexes as well. That will work for you if you want to pvp with others in pvp ships. If you want to shoot people who are in pvp ships other tactics wll help. I would also add that red versus blue would be a good place to start out pvp in eve. Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815

Then you could buy your half dozen frigs and spend an evening learning instead of just getting ganked and not learning anything.

Pretty much 95% of corps Ive been into (save newbie empire ones) require voice comms in pvp. Some required me to be on voice comms always when Im online. I can also say this: its utterly hopeless if rest of the fleet uses voice comms and you don't. That doesn't work. However, there is good advice in this thread in regards to soloing, and there are even corps that don't require voice comms out there. I know that fleet pvp without voice comms isn't as effective, but one must play the hand that is dealt.

I find low sec pvp dumb...i mean catching someone off guard in their pve fit probably doing a mission that sent them to low sec...what satisfaction would u get from that???? so go to hek and fight people who are ready to fight you back..

Having said that, I fly Amarr and all I see people talk about when PVPing how Minmatar is so much better than the rest.

Juni Dogo StoneCutterz Shotgun Weddings 0	Posted - 2011.10.05 08:54:00 - [31] - Quote - Start cheap. Don't think an expensive BS will give a better chance to survive, it won't. Go for fast frigates at first You won't be able to take down most BC or BS, but it's a cheap ship that you won't mind loosing, and it's fast so you have better chances to escape. as experience and isks grow. Go for cruisers and battlecruisers if want to hunt down bigger ships. Forget about doing solo pvp in a battleship. You'll attact to much attention, you won't be able to kill fast ships like frigate that will laugh at you as the scramble you untill bigger guns finish you off. - Choose your hunting ground well. Learn the corps that usually go there. - Learn how to use the tools that will help you survive. Don't go into lowsec untill you know how to use a directional scanner, to set up your overview, watch local chan for entries, align, safe spots, ect... Plenty of video tutorials on the net. - Know your ships and mods weakness and advantages. Same goes for your enemy ship. Solo pvp is usually a rock-paper scenario. If you fly a brutix with balster (High damage but very bad range) and you see a cynabal (average dps, but it can keep you at long range with ease), don't even think of engaging the darn thing as a cynabal is just too fast for your brutix to get at blaster range. It takes time, but as you learn what other ships can do, you learn what targets you should engage or not. - When you loose your ship. Don't hesitate to talk your guy who killed you. As him what he did to you and what fit he used. Usually, you'll get a friendly response, and it's a vital source of information when your new to solo pvp. You'll also have a good reputation. - You won't be making isks like this, and you will actually loose a lot as you begin. Find a good source of income to cover your looses. Level 4 missions are a good way to make isks with a fighter pilot. - Again be ready to loose a lot a ships before you actually start to killing. - Get used to run away. As said above, gangs will be a common encounter in lowsec. Solo PvP is risky and not very lucrative if you plan to make isks out of it. At best you cover your looses. But it's more enjoyable than gang pvp. Still, you can solo pvp while being in a friendly corp. So why not join one?

Don't let yourself discourage by ppl who need/want others to have fun with, you can do everything on your own ... just TALK, for example by making fun of those who don't talk in local. :) (but try not to be an *******) I have no idea why others have problems finding 1vs1 PvP, so believe me ... it's perfectly doable.
Kitty McKitty In Praise Of Shadows 282	Posted - 2011.10.05 10:37:00 - [36] - Quote Some good advice in this thread already. I just want to say, those telling you to join a corporation and not to solo are morons. Obviously it's going to make life harder for you but you sould like you realise that. PVP leads to plenty of deaths in this game and obviously going it alone makes your chances of survival much lower in general since you are fighting the odds but as long as you are prepared for this you will do much better when you end up in a fleet. Most of these babbies that can't advise more than 'join a gang' are probably used to being an incompetent drone that doesn't lose ships often because of a numbers game. You aren't going to learn nearly as much in a gang as you will from getting out there alone. I'd take Beasts of Burden up on their offer and at least try some small gang pew pew since variety is the spice of life but do not let anyone talk you out of solo. It's the only thing that keeps me interested in this game. GÖÑ Haviing your portrait painted here helps INTAKI Disabled Children GÖÑ
Juddas Priest Masonic Templar Warfare Industries 5	Posted - 2011.10.05 13:29:00 - [37] - Quote Actually the most difficult part of learning EVE for me has been finding the right Corp. Personally I didnGÇÖt want to be part of a big corp because you have to fit into already established behaviour patterns and have to learn them with little or no hands on help. Something small, friendly, casual and willing to help a new pilot. Also has to be online during my TZ and be more or less as active as I was. I have spent many an evening being the only person in corp chat because It was either the wrong TZ or the corp just wasnGÇÖt active enough. ItGÇÖs not just PvP either I wouldnGÇÖt mind having a go at incursions but thereGÇÖs nothing worse than being the only noob in an incursion fleet where everyone assumes you know what all the techno babble means. Eve seems specifically designed to be solo unfriendly unless you just want to be a carebear all your eve life. You canGÇÖt reason someone out of a position they didnGÇÖt reason themselves into
Weaselior BUTTECORP INC Goonswarm Federation 243	Posted - 2011.10.05 13:41:00 - [38] - Quote Jacen Matthews wrote: Hello all, I am a relativly new player, been playing less than 4 months. I have played most of that solo, or missioning with a friend. I want to start doing some PVP, however, I do not want to do "Gang" or "Fleet" PVP. I want to be able to go out on my own, or with a friend and get into some trouble. This however, seems counter to what everyone else does in this game. Is this strategy just not valid? Am I looking in the wrong places ( I flew to 8 different lowsec areas in a four hour peroid, not one fight).? Just throwing this out there, I cannot join most PVP corps due to the fact that I cannot use voice comms (no hearing). Any advice would help, maybe this is just not the game for me? Thanks!! gank hulks and exhumers in empire, best 1v1 combat you'll find anywhere

Mors Magne Astral Adventure 2	Posted - 2011.10.05 15:24:00 - [40] - Quote Here is a possible 'work-around' that should enable you to join a large fleet normally, even though you are deaf - The good thing about large fleets is that you never have to do any talking - it's all about listening to the Fleet Commander. So... 1. Get voice recognition software - my undertanding is that the technology is very good these days. Apparently, you don't even need to callibrate it to a voice. 2. Use the internet to find a way of turning the Teamspeak / Ventrilo speaker 'out' voice activated software. In theory, this should be simple. 3. Use the voice activated software to write on a Word document. 4. Change the Eve Online settings from 'Full screen' to 'Window' so you can see both Eve Online and the Word document on your screen. 5. You'll know it's the Fleet Commander speaking because they use the same short phases in every fleet in Eve. There are few (or no) important conversations that last longer than four words. Finally, if the fleet commander says, "Jump to..." and looks like jibberish - that's probably how it sounds to everyone else! Just press 'jump to the fleet commander' and you're probably ok! It's what I normally do anyway! I just watch what other people are doing. The other small difficulty you might come across is understanding the name of the primary target. I think this is a really small detail - I'm sure you could find a really good target using your eyes. The important thing is to use cheap ships until you adapt - and I'm sure you will - sooner than you think.

Not a very likable guy, so **** off! If you need a corp hit me up. Hearing is not a problem, cause the only thing that pisses me off more than forum police is having to talk. Mofo if I wanted to talk I would log off climb out of my mother's cellar and go hire a prositute. -á I want to fly a badass Mon Calamari stlye-ácruiser painted to match my Tron clothes.

Basically this guy took 20 punishers and lost them learning about solo pvp. Started knowing nothing... ended up a dangerous pirate. Really, this is the only way of doing it.

That's one hell of a great idea, but fails (no offense, i really like the idea) when you realize that there are ppl from sweden, ireland, australia, USAmerica, germany, Austria, poland, africa, etc etc Too many dialects, too many accents ... and whatever the NSA uses, it's not for commercial use. xD
