I'm fracking sick of solo killing 1-3 players guarding a point, going to hack either the point or CRU, and dying because invisible, invincible mercs spawn in behind me. They failed to defend the point, I succeeded in assaulting it, yet unless I kill them all at the same time right next to the console, I'm nearly guaranteed to die (10 seconds to hack - 10 seconds to spawn = 0 seconds to start hacking after the kill). This issue is particularly bad with CRUs- point spawns often don't spawn you near the console, but CRUs spawn you right next to it.
Yes, I know, complex codebreakers, systems hacking skill V, and Min logi would make this a non-issue, but it shouldn't be a problem in the first place. |

Almost like you would want someone there with you to watch your back or make the hack faster... but that would require teamwork, and as we all know, this is "I HAS TO SOLO ERRYTING WAHWAHWAH 514"
Sometimes the rest of the team is elsewhere, busy fighting over the heavily contested points- why send more than one person to go grab the point only 1-2 enemies are paying attention to? If I can kill everyone defending a point, why should I need help to do the actual capturing? |

Don't solo hack crews or objectives, unless of course you're a Prototype Minmatar Logi with level 5 hacking and a complex codebreaker equipped. Or you have flux in the pocket.
I do think that AI turrets should stop shooting when they are getting hacked.
What makes solo so automatically bad? Yes, sure, I'd get slaughtered by any competent pair of communicating mercs, much less a proper corp squad, but I'm a casual player playing pub games- the majority of my enemies are clueless redberries. I can't pull this off every time, but when I do I feel like I'm being robbed of my reward despite having beaten my opponent(s). The point of FPS games is to shoot the enemy... if I can kill everyone guarding the point without help, don't I deserve the hack? |
