I love the squad aspect of this game and actually playing as a tactical unit, but various aspects of my life prevent me from being on comms or really focusing too much on any given match. More often than not, I'm rolling around solo, sometimes hopping into a squad to help them get an orbital; even then, staying off comms and generally keeping to myself. I do alright for myself in most matches, even getting near or at the top of the boards about half of my matches, and I'm by no means an "all star" player (lol AR Fatty  )
I guess I just wanted to see who else out there plays like this / say that you can definitely play solo in this game, it's just that squads are so much more efficient, for glaringly obvious reasons. |

This times twelve million, sitting over 9000
It's bad too because I just use Hacked AV nades and a militia forge gun lmao, now that I think of it, that's where my SP can be going right now....build a better cannon....
Anyways, those matches I usually go negative, cuz I'm one of the only ones if not the only one actively hunting down the tanks. My preferred method is to take my free armored LAV and try to come up behind the tank. Sometimes I can crash the LAV into it for added damage, other times the LAV crushes me when I try >_< Then I just spam AV nades and if I'm still alive I'll start shooting it with my forge. |

I only run my militia fits when I'm trolling or inebriated.
I use advanced fits about 80% of the time with prototype being about 12-15% of the time. I've been playing for over a year, with a wealth of squad based experience. When I'm just rolling around solo sometimes I'll draw in a bunch of randoms and "Squad lead". I haven't ran a squad where everyone is on comms doing their thing since before uprising, I used to do it a lot back then though. I don't want to be distracted and not on comms rolling with my corp, so I choose to go solo most of the time.
As I said, various real life reasons keep me from being able to play that way right now. I have the experience, I'm pretty good at leading a squad and definitely at being a member of one.
Oh, and I only sit at around 3 million ISK because I burned through over 100 million testing their stupid dropships in team based scenarios.
Assume more bro. |

This is why I've slowed down on my thread making, numbers confuse me at times. My feedback is more from personal experience in game with said issues. That said, I am pretty good at identifying those who DO know what they're talking about when it comes to numbers, and I have no issues taking a stand against them if I feel it will kick start their brains into coming up with an intelligent solution.
It's all about leveraging the knowledge available to you, I think. |

I've been experiencing this too. I meant to make a bug report yesterday but figure I'll wait for 1.2, but I was leading a squad of randoms and my Orbitals would land off target, sometimes waaay off target....
So, I'm looking forward to 1.2 as much as my brain will let me, hopefully these mechanical fixes start fixing things instead of breaking them. Plus, I can't wait to slaughter all those silly Commandon'ts |

On that note, I am pretty pissed that you can't rip someones heart out of their chest while it's still beating.
CCP, what gives?

That happened to me last night with the blueberries I was "leading", we were on that old biomass map with B inside and A and C outside. It was down to the wire and we were about to lose when I respawned and made a bonzai charge into A, clearing it out and contesting it long enough for a couple of my blueberries to come over and move on C as we won.
Was fun. |

However, squad action is just so much better.
The ability to work as a 6 member team improves gameplay immensely.
And simply makes the game more fun to play.
You certainly win or lose more spectacularly, that's for sure. I enjoy squad play a lot, it just takes too much focus and involvement for what I can realistically do a lot of the times. ::shrugs::
If they ever give us a solo free for all mode, you'll know where to find me
