Where what is deemed ...Potato, tomato academic BS.<br /><br />Where what is deemed solo or not solo is concerned I am always tempted to say: "So what!?" <br /><br />I play mostly on my own. There are things one cannot do on you own and that is a restriction (necessary one I think). <br /><br />Then there are things I can do with a single ship, things that take at least two (lets say a scout, boost, logi, extra dps), and things that take more (even more logi, dps, hauling(scout/cyno/jumpfreighter/webber combos).<br /><br />Someone deems any of the latter categories "not solo"? Ok. But really, so what?<br /><br />Absence of Substancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15123170586817254667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-54419494688501202892016-05-20T16:58:46.617-04:002016-05-20T16:58:46.617-04:00It's entirely relative to the definition you c...It's entirely relative to the definition you choose. I think it's pretty simple, there are two variables. A pilot and a ship. Solo would mean one pilot and one ship, by my definition.Bexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272139570626370166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-30181046855701450252016-05-20T11:58:04.355-04:002016-05-20T11:58:04.355-04:00Links isn't solo, scouts aren't solo, mult...Links isn't solo, scouts aren't solo, multiple DPS ships are.

Someone like Stunt Flores, who killed 50 ratters in a couple days, can be admired not for the kinds of targets he kills (ratters are typically easy marks), but the quantity he's able to set up and his senses in not taking bait.Talvorian Dexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349917611382684205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-54446109690812376052016-05-20T09:18:57.922-04:002016-05-20T09:18:57.922-04:00I agree.

In the case of solo, solo PvP is meant to be a high-skill activity, but solo PvP so often not that at all. It can be solo, yet be without all the characteristics that make solo so admired.Talvorian Dexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349917611382684205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-76959018238725571702016-05-20T07:52:03.846-04:002016-05-20T07:52:03.846-04:00In your examples only the Garmur pilot is solo, 1 ...In your examples only the Garmur pilot is solo, 1 single human controlling 1 single in game character, that is solo, people can argue semantics and this and that and they have the right to their opinion (no matter how wring it is )<br /><br />Solo - a thing done by one person unaccompanied, in particular:<br /><br />The fact that he is, as you say using a overpowered ship to kill people in novice plexes is irrelevant, that is outside the scope of what constitutes solo. 1 player, using multiple ships, be it a scout, or link is not solo, he is accompanied, sure not by other humans, but by other characters in game, hence not alone, and therefore not solo.<br />steevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02448986668157096376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-25320587056321388832016-05-20T07:22:37.671-04:002016-05-20T07:22:37.671-04:00I'm honored for you to consider me on somewhat...I'm honored for you to consider me on somewhat skilled part of the table. Just to add my view on topic:<br /><br />There are different settings where different part of skills show up. Someone focusing on frigate pvp will have different skill set than someone doing wormhole pvp. I think people often neglect the importance of surroundings awareness, dos and don'ts and so on. End result is a kill, but what was the journey for that kill to happen is very important. Sure people might see 4 ships gang one and not be impressed, but they may not know what was done to make it happen. My point being - the kill does not always show the real picture.Zosiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923806436605751198noreply@blogger.com
