It sounds like the OP is finding Eve a bit too challenging. I hear World of Warcraft just released an expansion...most MMOs are basically the same, right?
The term solo is being used as a solo combat toon. Most people use this distinction, and you are just being a ****. Also, I assume that one day "soon" off grid combat boosting will be removed completely. I've proposed a few ideas to dictate the strength of the boosts you are getting from a ship in relation to how far away it is from you. Anything over 200k would be 0% boost, and would gradually increase the closer the ship got. Something like 100% up to 50k, 75% up to 100k, 50% up to 150k, 25% up to 200k, and 0% at 200+ (random, arbitrary numbers that came out of my ass).
And to the post above this one; It would be awesome if CCP allowed us to do a "scan" of the other side of a gate. Not really giving detailed information on ship type/who the people are, but allowing us to see how many ships are on the other side within X amount from the gate. Would be a huge boost to bringing back solo. |

Same for scouts, because of idiotic gate horizon in eve noone can overcome "solo", you need an alt watching other side. Good for CCPs subscription numbers, bad for us.
Funny, around 80% of my kills over the last few months on both characters have been solo or while dual-boxing.
Maybe you are just bad at PVP? |

Solo + booster isn't solo.
And don't try the old "But i'm gonna go up against more than one person" bullshit. That's just lying to yourself.

Stipulation is that it would actually be able to get fights. I know a lot of people will just run from certain ships, or not even engage.
Also, would full snakes be viable to use in LS or has the insta-locking epidemic spread so much that pods get lost all the the time now?
Thanks in advance for any advice offered.
edit: Booster would be running a t3 with either armor/siege + info + skirmish @ t2 with faction implant. fit up your favourite t1 frig and whatever links + boosters you want. poof. youll get fights out the ass as most people think t1 frigs are weak. just dont fly a punisher. that thing is **** lol |

An Archon would be the best booster post-Phoebe. It's super tough, so you don't have to worry about people ganking it and denying you boosts at a critical moment. Plus you can assign fighters to boost your solo dps. |

I believe I have settled on using an Arbitrator with legion booster. Booster will be using fed navy mindlink with Passive def, electronic superiority, Evasive Maneuver, and Interdiction maneuver links (all t2).
Is the 1600 plate arbi still the go to, or is there another fit floating around right now.
I currently have:
Highs: meta 4 small and medium nos 2x small smartbomb for drones
Mids: Meta 4 scram meta 4 web 2x meta 4 tracking disruptors
Lows: 2x ENAM 1x DCU 1x DDA 1x 1600mm
Rigs: 2x Trimark 1x Tracking Diagnostic Subroutines
Slightly worried about the speed, but I figure the scram will shut down a MWD and the web will allow me to get some sort of orbit going.
Before boosts it sits at around 30k ehp and roughly 280 dps using hammerheads.
Any suggestions on improving the fit?
This is also going to be used for trial and error while I get acquainted with flying this type of setup. Will be used to transition into a Pilgrim using nearly the same fit minus some small alterations to the highs, and added prop mod or cap booster in mid. This will eventually lead into running 2x recons (possibly dual pilgrim), and possibly dropping the booster as triple boxing for PvP may not be the best idea. |

Oh boy.
I'd beg you to come visit Huola with that Arbitrator but we sorta kinda have a whole militia on our doorsteps already.

I assume they are just taking this fit straight from the one arbitrator fit that killed an arazu, and two blops while solo. |

I find the Comet is great for most engagements. Benign enough that most folks are not afraid of it, sneaky tough, and if fitted properly faster than most other hulls.
I do sometimes use an OGB but it's more for scouting to avoid gate camps, for taking fights that are 1 v many, against larger ships such as destroyers and cruisers, and to GTFO when a groups attempts to gank me. |

that fit is awful for real. the arbitrator is likely top contender for the title of worst soloing cruiser ever. a vexor will do almost everything an arbitrator does, except better. also no prop mod is suicide and those smartbombs will take longer to kill a single light drone than you will survive most fights for in that ship
There's nothin' like skating away from a fight with the hull on fire, some mods burned out and a cargohold full of loot.

All of my solo arbitrator fits have ignored the TD bonus. You can do a pretty wicked shield tank if you've got the implants and links or a pretty decent active armor tank. It's much improved on base stats after tiericide, compared to what it once was.
The thing to remember is that if you kite they'll go after your drones if they have more than two brain cells. If you brawl, they'll mostly ignore your drones. You can get some pretty decent fights in an arbitrator [because it's not a vexor!] but you won't have the dps to burn through a cruiser faster than his backup will arrive. |

ah mista dane! true that it draws fights just because it's an Arbi but yeah it's tough to work around the PG limitations to really do much for DPS and tank. using links properly would make it a fine ship with a good fit but yea a good place to start with that would be getting rid of the TDs and trading info links for a mix of skirm and armor/siege

Best ship in the game Currently is: XLASB RLML Dual point Orthrus Best Skimish linking ship in game: 6 link tengu (Full siege / skirmish) With Republic Fleet mind link.
Get the orthrus pilot a full head of HG snakes 5% damage implants, some blue pill / quafe booster and you are basically kitted up to take on anything. |

Just fly T1(Insert ship class and race here) and fly that solo. Your links should give you enough of an edge to win in most 1v1 situations. Scram kite
