Overview
Solo PvP rewards control, not mass. This build is fast, slippery, and built to dictate range — kiting slower fleets and bursting isolated targets before help arrives.
You win by choosing your fights: engage what you can kill, disengage from what you cannot, and never let the enemy set the terms. Manoeuvrability is your real weapon.
Ships
Interceptor flagship — your main hull.
Fast support to apply tackle and split fire.
Modules by Slot

| Utility | Warp Disruptor III | Pins targets so they cannot flee your kite. |
| Defense | Phase Shield II | Light, fast-cycling defence for skirmishing. |
| Utility | Engine Boost I | Dictate range — stay at your optimal, not theirs. |
Commander

How to Play This Build
- 1
Scout before you commit
Never engage blind. Confirm the target is isolated and killable before you tackle.
- 2
Tackle and kite
Apply the Warp Disruptor, then orbit at your optimal range where they cannot hit back effectively.
- 3
Burst the soft target
In a small gang, kill the weakest hull first to swing the numbers fast.
- 4
Bail on bad odds
If reinforcements land or the math turns, disengage. A solo pilot who lives wins the long game.

FAQ
Is solo PvP viable in Starforge MMO?
Yes, if you pick your fights. A fast tackle-and-kite build controls range, bursts isolated targets, and disengages from anything it cannot win. The skill ceiling is high but the rewards are reliable.
How do I stop targets from escaping?
Fit a Warp Disruptor to pin them, then orbit at your optimal range. Apply tackle before you commit damage so the target cannot simply warp away.
