Tell us about your first solo PvP kill!

To win my first PVP kill was a hardwork cause I always was bad in player vs player combat (I still am), butafter a lot of death that I had specially arriving in some station and find some player who didn't had anything better to do to kills me instead. Then I decided to do a PVP build for a Fer-de-Lance with Rail guns and Plasmas accelerators (that was a pain for me to get in practice with those ones), and again it didn't help me a lot at the first glance, it took some time to do, I can manage PVE, but every time I had to face an unoccupied player I had a hard time, Some time I had some nice plays but I or I get killed in the end or the player flee.

After some time with this kind of encounter I finally met my first victim, that was trying to kill me in exchange from nothing, was the same ship than mine probably the same build (I just make some explorations builds normally I get some done on Internet), and after a bunch of minutes of fighting the ship tried to jump and how don't know how I manege to select the FSD and destroy it in time and finally get my first and hard kill!

After this I had just two more kills in similar situations, another Fer-de-Lance and a Mamba, but I always try to avoid combat and don't use so much my Fer-de-Lace (and some times I play in Solo for my mental health sake)!

I was still new in the game, and was trading with my Keelback, which was almost fully shield boosted (with the better shield possible), apart for a chaff, and with beam lasers, as I was still afraid of the IA interdictions and etc, when a Commander scanned me in my way to the Starport to sell my goods. Didn't even noticed it wasn't the system's authorities when the first lasers hit me. He was in an Imperial Eagle, so running wasn't an option, but I boosted towards the no fire zone and activated chaff.

That saved my life, because my shield was at 50% with 5s of shooting, and it gave me time to turn at him and fire back, and an Anaconda or another big ship to start shooting at him - melting him even faster than he was getting me. My beloved cargo was saved by the police... but I remember being the next target, maybe because I also fired at him. Well, my lucky didn't last long, and I got not only killed and lost my cargo, but a fine for that too.

I played on solo for the next 2 weeks lol

Greetings commander,

My first kill in elite was a door that opened for me, Now im more of a Cargo pilot my self, a space trucker if you will but when you come under attack you need to put those big boy pants on and get ready, so i did....


Star wars Rebel pilot helmet - Wearing

Joystick and Thusters - Working

Saftey swtich - Disengaged


Nothing more thrilling when you hear WARNING and your shields are low but nether the less this space trucker had a few evasive moves to pull, Increase power to shields and put distance from the attacking pirate, Now shields at 100 percent, Adrenaline buzzing, Feeling like Han solo in the falcon smuggling, it was time to get cheeky, Little did they know i was packing with missiles, Reduced power from the shields to weapons, Engaged the enemy rendering their shields useless,

Now it was time.... On my joystick i flicked up the saftey cover, Locked on to the enemy ship whilst taking damage and shields dropping rappidly, Spammed that fire button and missles let rip

How can i describe the view? Magnicent

What happened next? well had to apologies to the wife and kids for the loud outburts of YAhoooooo

Greetings pilots and not only.

My first PvP kill was quite accidental, it happened in the first hours of my elite activity, I did not know a lot of mechanics and features of the game. The PvP itself happened while hunting pirates on Sidewinder, I then equipped it with something that would be more powerful (explored how much will be interesting PvE).

While flying to the pirates I started to be intercepted, usually I left the interception, but that time I decided to find out what would happen if I was intercepted. In general I was intercepted by Sidewinder, at the beginning I thought it was an AI, but as it turned out it was also a player.

Then it seemed to me that our battle with him will be LEGENDARY. Dodges from shells, leaving on afterburner and trying to net on six to the enemy, while having time to look at the reserves of shield and hull, as well as fixing attention on the ladar, in case someone else comes to our battle.

I was able to win our battle even though the hull was about 6-9%.

Even after dozens of hours in the game, this PVP is the only and most exciting for me.

My first PvP kill was back on my old PS4 account.

This is 5-6 years ago, I had an Alliance Challenger, engineered, but not over-engineered. I was flying in system somewhere and was interdicted, I assumed it was an AI, so anyway I started blasting. I noticed it wasn't shooting back, stripped off the shields, then saw messages from a commander along the lines of, "I was trying to inderdict an AI, and got you by accident"

I stopped shooting and sent "Okay Ill stop", he came to a hover in front of me, and I boost rammed him and finished him off.
