there are a few valid arguements in here, but simply it isn't a 1v1 if there is a booster alt involved.
THIS IS WHY YOU ALWAYS FLEET UP FOR 1v1's
if your opponent drops fleet in teh middle of the fight or mid warp GTFO unless you are feeling balsy Low-sec Best-sec |

I haven't had any agreed 1v1s in a while but it used to be very rare thta people would violate the agreement. But yes a booster ship plus another ship is not one ship. Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815

Just like everyone else says, if its an agreed 1v1 invite them to a fleet and use a SS. Otherwise don't complain about someone using a booster to take on larger groups of people. |

This is Eve, there is no such thing as a 1v1. Anytime you engage another player expect an entire fleet to swoop in on you. |

Usually in Eve what appears to be a 1v1 isn't really a 1v1.
Always fleet with anyone who offers 1v1 and be the fleet boss unless you know they can be trusted.
Make sure fleet window has a big red x and no bonuses are being applied.
If they fleet invite you - you must leave the fleet window open and visible - if another pilot appears in fleet then drop fleet and bail out cause they are about to dishonor the 1v1. Local spike can be same thing so never fight off a celestial. Only safes that will take some scanning.
Just cause someone asks for a 1v1 doesn't mean you need to respond and agree.
Best to simply say nothing and gank them with everything you got. Fix this **** See Sea Pea. |

This is not Q3 Arena, where people meet for a duel of skills - having an honourable '1on1' makes about as much sense to me as firing up your favourite RTS game and agree to meet with one infantry guy in the middle of the battlefield - it entirely defeats the purpose of the game, which is finding a strategy where you are in the favourable position - preferrably by making the other guy(s) wrongly assume he is in the favourable position.
Having that said, in seven years of playing this game, I have never used an offgrid booster despite of having characters very well capable of doing it and tripleboxing on three screens.
Probing alt? Yes. Hauling around some cap boosters for my PvP character in a Blockade Runner? Yes.
Falcon alts or offgrid boosters? Never.
It's not entirely rational and I can't blame people using the current mechanics to their full extent, but I wont - simply because i consider these mechanics entirely broken.
I play games to have a good time, and I have a better time losing some fights than winning whilst using mechanics I despise.
I don't use ECM drones or jammers for the same reason (when I loot them I even don't sell those items on - I either reprocess them or jet them and shoot the can, no matter what they're worth).
Guess it's some categorical imperative thing rooted so deeply within my personality I carried it over from RL - or I'm just a moron. This. I don't mind that people use them, but I don't do it myself. Now, honestly I fully trained my hauler alt for both Falcon and Links. Just have never used them. Like you said, it's some kind of strange personality quirk. I just typically don't cheat or bend the rules, even when no one is looking. It's kinda stupid actually. /shrug
It's overkill to use them since you field 3:1

it was 8 v 5. we came back. Although we tried, not everything can be even, sadly. ;)
I'm probably typing on an iPad, which means the auto-correct is silly and fixing typos is a pain. I ain't fixing them. |

I think it's fine. It's just something you plan for, and deal with. If you're careful, it's fairly easy to tell who has an off-grid boost before you commit to a fight. And if they catch you off-guard, you can remember them for next time and prepare accordingly.
All that said, I'd love to see boosting characters show up on killmails. |

I have had plenty of 1v1s. |
