We, the solo players of dust, the vast majority of the playerbase, the silent majority, suffer:
1) -20% WP (SP if you don't cap) just because...
2) Placing in half or more finished battles (mostly on the loosing side)
3) death by orbitals, but no orbitals for us
4) Much higher risk/reward
5) Incredibly harder to come by kills (most of the time outnumbered)
6) Way higher stomp ratios
Please CCP make a Solo portion of your game. Look at the numbers of players in your NPC corps (tal-romon for example has 85,000 mercs). We make up the vast majority of your game, we endure impossible odds, we deal having to fight outnumber at all times, we deal with q-synced Nyan San just shitting all over your game.
We also outnumber people in player corporations 100 to 1.
Throw us a bone.
Watch your back because I might be there.

85,000? wat?
Yeah, I did this with a few people. Here is how:
Add NPC corp merc to your contacts, then look at friends corporations ( I forget which tab it is). I tried out two different NPC corporations. Both corporations had over 80,000 members (different numbers though) and were both amarrian.
Basically, wheny ou see the numbers, the amount of peopel who must have tried out this game is mindblowing.
Whay do they all quit? Because if you are not in a squad, the entire games is 100% stacked against you. I am not sure if this "crap on your customers" approach is a new idea, but it sure doesn't seem to be working with dust.

*squints eyes* Not sure if sexual inuendo or not....
Anyway, either a mode which is squad free, or some NPE.
The squad free mode would be awesome. Basically everyone who is complaining about "proto-stomping" is complaining about squads, not their gear. Squads would still destroy them with militia gear. 5 vs 1 is still bullshit anyway you slice it.

There is a solution to the "no orbitals" issue you posted, which is to make a squad and then lock it so no one can join
I am making a guess that at least a non-insignificant portion... hell lets say only 1/2 of the corp, don't squad/are alts. I am assuming that most of the corps are filled with players who tried dust, got stomped, left dust.

If your fighting in a game with uneven numbers / imbalanced teams then just hide in the redline until the match is over.
You can also leave a battle, and that's a fair option, but personally I prefer not to put another solo player in my place. I also think its better making the game as boring as possible to the stacked / q synced team on the other side.
Also bear in mind the numbers in the NPC corps are mostly alts gathering passive SP and abandoned characters
Source? (for your last bit of info, you say it with such authority it must be a fact right?)

Most of those 85k don't actually exist :)
(I do spend a lot of time solo, fwiw)
70 alts? My good god. That means you must have at least 24 PSN accounts. That is insane man. I think we can go ahead an call you an outlier.
For everyone else:
Let me put it this way. Go look at where the population of eve is at, notice something?

Apart from the odd match against Q-synced tank spammers, I have no problems.
I have a question for you arkena, what is the type of modded controller you use? I wanted to get one too.

So I never understood that argument.
COD- one of the most successful and beloved FPS series of all time, with millions of fans and large amounts of content
you - "This isn't COD @#$%@#$@"
WTF are you talking about?
