This may be a slight exaggeration but you seem to respond to basically every post despera makes, and always with some variation of the same post. I think your goal is to drive them away but all it has meant is months of "not listening you are a bad poster" posts doubling the bandwidth of every despera post.

I still haven't had any solo PvP experiences that ended well for me, mostly because every time I've run into someone they've been "soloing" with a full set of links on an alt and good drugs, or they were bait for a hot drop and as soon as I get into tackle range they lit a cyno and 20 dudes landed on the field.


I really have the worst luck with that poo poo.

Dalael is too stupid to roam with links and drugs or bait for a drop so good on the new guy at actually encountering a somewhat fair fight in eve.

Solo pvp is tricky until your brain figures out what to do and how to adjust to it if you're used to fleet vs fleet pvp. I had a blast trying to get footage for my video application for the Amarr Championship. Flew around in Punishers & Tormentors in FW space and surprisingly did well but died to many times before I got used to it.

Yeah, that's what I suppose I was trying to say. Despera may be wrong most of the time but white noise posting was ironic when I could get a Markov chain bot to create deadtear's responses to him and have it pass the Turing test out the box.

Solo and small gang pvp continues to be my favorite times in this game. As much as i love the politics, meta, and fleet fights as that is the driving force behind what makes this game so interesting to me--when i actually "play" EVE i solo pvp and roam with a few friends. Its a blast and one of the best experiences you can have actually inside the game, IMO.

What kind of change would we have to see in the game for the "meta" of sorts to move away from fast shield tanked ships and back to the slow armor brawlers? Every battle report I read is full of shield tanking caldari and minm boats on both sides, variety is the spice of life!

Though it's a lot more complicated than that. Armour ships have a lot of utility for things like cap boosters that shield ships rarely have room for.

Take the Minmatar Recons for example. They are bonused for target painters. TPs are very useful too but you never put them on the Recons because it hurts the shield tank too much. Instead you throw fistfuls of Vigils at the enemy in hopes that some TPs stick.

Maybe, maybe not. If lows were for both shield and armor the choice between tank and damage would be more polarized. Shield tankers would still be faster inherintly due to not having a bunch of extra armor added on, but they wouldn't be able to have the best of both worlds. Currently shield tank allows for tank, damage, and speed, but armor tank makes you decide between being tanky, being fast, or fitting damage mods in the lows. What do I know though, only been playing for less than a month.

The armour tanks have lower sig radius which is a tank in itself (see shield battlecruisers and battleships or lack thereof). On top of that a lot of armour ships are balanced to compensate for the speed penalty.
