I really like solo PvP and just can't seem to find my groove in it. It seems like every time i get blobbed or no one will engaged in low and kills my sec status for no reason. If someone has had success i would like to talk maybe get some pointers or anything or just talk. Ive been using Battlecruiser but there expensive to lose a lot. I don't use scouts or boosters either mabye that's what I need i don't know.
I fly true solo.
I use faction war plexes to get fights. It is better then ever in my 4 years of eve.
I mainly fly frigates but some cruisers and destroyers.
I am not in faction war that way I can shoot both sides.

Off grid boosters are the main reason why I tend to stay outside the main pvp systems.
It used to be if someone was trying to kite you with an mwd you would have some chance to sling shot and catch them with a web/scram or at least get away. There was some skill involved by both sides. Boosters allowing people to point over 30k away removes any element of skill from the fight.

But if you want to try it then better the cal/gal fw warzone. In min/amarr solo is completely dead. I mean really really dead.
The only guys "solo" there are booster punks :(
I have been getting more solo pvp than anytime before. Pretty much all my pvp is in and around plexes. Just don't join a militia and become blue to 35% of the people who go near plexes and you will get lots of fights.

They are a part of the game and here to stay, so man up, and think of a way to counter them, or simply use them yourself. Its like hearing those soccer fans whine for hours over how the referee whistled against their team and got them to loose the match.
its in the game, so live with it. I personally dont use any of those simply because I havent a trained alt, but the thought occurs once in a while. No one stops you from training a scout or Ogb.
T. Offgrid Boosters would not be such an issue if they would not boost ship speed. Having Hookbills going over 7000m/s not overheated nad 9000m/s with heat is completely nonesense. No missile or drone can catch them. This is ridiculous. Except for the speed boost every other aspect of offgrid boosting is fine with me. Drone wont catch a properly fit Kite Hookbill even if he has no boosts. Hookbill is easy to counter but drones are not the way to do it. People just pay too much attention to the DPS figure in their fitting windows so they don't come up with the correct fits to kill kite hookbills.
Does this involve using another booster? The typical hookbill with boosted speed, point, and damps is pretty hard to deal with.

1. Get in your favourite T1 frigate.
2. Warp to a safe in a FW region system.
3. Scan system and plexes with d-scan.
4. If there are suitable targets on scan, warp in and, um, fight.
5. If not, your choice whether to wait or move to another system.
I usually adjust d-scan to 1 AU 360 degrees when a fight is likely. Keep an eye on scan and if a blob is incoming you can try to disengage. In amarr Minnie fw I've literally spent almost 6 hours roaming and gotten no fights before, doing just that. Solo is alive but its damn boring trying to find it a lot of the time.
I do what Zappity does. Except I dont have any safe spots. I just scan the system when in the gate cloak. If the system is populated I will go in an empty plex and wait or open one myself.
I get allot of fights in lamma kourm huola and kamela. (3-4 fights per 2 hours) I used to get allot of fights up in metro as well but that seems to have dried up a bit.
For solo is the much quicker way to get fights. No waiting on others. Sure you will get more ganks in a gang after its going, But its rare that you will get as many good fights as you can when solo.
The other thing is you will obviously get more fights in fw plexes if you are not blue to a large number of pilots going in these plexes. So i highly recomend dropping militia. After I dropped militia I got a large increase in the number of fights.

Check dotlan FW map for Amarr/Minmatar for the most active recent systems. Admittedly you can have the odd dull day. It has happened a few times for me so I log my market alts in and keep the iskies ticking over. In my experience FW just runs away all the time....oh noes an outlaw RUN FOR THE HILLS! 
Obviously the fw players will be much more likely to run than neutrals in plexes. There is no reason for a neutral to be in a plex other than to pvp. Whereas the fw pilots are often there to carebear vp for thier miltiia.
Thats why I wonder what percent of kills in plexes are from faction war players as opposed to neutrals. FW plexes are a great pvp venue and have replaced the top belt. It seems to me, the number of actual fights I get with neutrals is climbing every month.

Yet the amazing thing about this memory... is that it never happened.
Its actually happening now in greater numbers than ever. There are lots of good fights to be had in faction war plexes. Especially if you are not in faction war and can fight both militias.

Halete
I recommend you and any solo pilot learn about fw plexes.
Here is a good guide that gives the basics:
http://www.gamerchick.net/2013/01/the-beginners-guide-to-faction-war.html
You won't be able to run down the timers unless you are in fw but you can scan and open the sites.
Get large number of your favorite ships in kourmonen, or nenn on the caldari/gallente front, (I have a jump clone in each) and use your dscan and you will find allot of fights. Use the plex mechanics to avoid losses to the blobs.
Look at the dotlan map to see where the ships and pods are exploding. But I will tell you kamela huola lamma sosala auga dal sisiede vard and anka are all good systems for plexing. They are all 1-2 jumps from kourm. Expect that kourm kam gate is camped. Auga is a regional gate so its not so much of a concern.
Tell me how it works for you.
