Top 3 rules for solo pilots-
1: If you get blown to shits, it was "your" fault not your opponents. Be mad at yourself, not your opponent.

2: Know what you're capable of and realise solo pvp is about the "quality" of ships, not quantity of ships.

3: Fight smart, if you can scan every ship before a fight and have 2 alts on each side of the gate more power to you.

Rule 4: You wouldent last as a true solo combat pilot.
Join up with a nice little corp, make friends, get kills. and leave it at that.
Beside that - dont forget to manual pilot & its bad luck to name a ship before fully fitted & after you've undocked ಠ‿↼
