I'm looking for advice of the best regions for solo roaming for finding fights, Low-sec specifically.
Of course there's the FW zones but I have been there and done that. What about other area's of low-sec? Are all the good pirate corps, Tuskers etc still to be found in Molden Heath?
Don't Panic.

Molden heath is FW pretty much.
Real lowsec is full of hotdrops and battleship gangs and stuff like that, not an interesting place for solo.
What youre looking for is 00sec, thats fun.

I live in nullsec, the pvp there is terrible. 99% of potential targets are either cloaky, nullified or both, and no-one wants to fight. what I wanted was a place to install a clean clone for solo low-sec frigate roams. Lately I have been re-reading the following blog.
Flight of Dragons
Reading this first inspired me to start playing Eve over a year ago. Is this sort of gameplay dead these days, or is solo low-sec roaming in frigates or cruisers still viable.

You can find solo fights in lowsec, but they will be few and far between. |

Obviously you still have to be careful of bigger gangs and some choke points that get camped but there is a good bit of small gang and solo fun to be had around the FW areas in plexes and ****, some times you just have to look a little harder than others. |

Good OP;
I wouldn't use blogs as my inspiration. Eve is long periods of boredom with a few moments of terror. The blogs generally don't reflect this.
If you are going to solo in eve the first thing you need is a good book--ever read Shogun?
Take your ship (and book) to an FW novice plex and sit and read til your screen gets a flashing thing on it.
The problem with solo roaming is it takes too much attention and you will just run into a gate camp anyhow.
Of course, I never kill anybody, but at least I don't waste hours trying.
your humble servent

Finding solo fights is easily, finding 1v1s is hard.

Went 12 jumps deep into null from lowsec the other night. We were in a Brutix and Harbinger Navy Issue. Juicy, fat slow targets that can no longer run. We literally saw one guy scanning for anomalies. Nothing else. Null is terrible.
The best place to find solo pvp is FW plexes. Maybe a known pirate system like Ammake or something, but your definition of solo has to be very loose - since everyone will be boosted. Just my opinion.
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. |

Give Citadel, Essence, Lonetrek and Black Rise Lowsec a shot. All are situated close to Jita.
This also enables you to visit the entrysystems to Pure Blind (EC-P8R) , Tribute (M-OEE8) and Vale of the Silent (P3EN-E). |

This is why i made a new social network site called "1 vs 1 me" - It allows you to find local singles in your region. You can also be picky about your options...
"I am a single Caldari pilot looking for an Amarrian for long roams in Black Rise" You can even indulge different pilots in their interests.
For example -
I do not want someone who is into Falcons
I do not enjoy links
No boosters please.
This allows us to narrow down your search and ensure you find the right person. We even offer a compatibility test. |

Lol at sean , good ideea though :p
But on topic, the others above me are right,nowadays the only solo action u can find and find fast is in the fw warzones but like others said true 1v1 are rare because even when u think its 1v1 the enemy has links or a blob near by. Still i recomend u hit the amarr/minmatar war zone because its smaller and easier to find targets,also better for 1v1 in my experience

Black Rise was very good for finding 1v1 fights before TEST joined. Just wait until they leave and the blobber mentality will go away.
I can usually find decent 1v1 (no links) fights in Martoh, Akidagi, Enaluri, and Hikkoken nowdays. You just have to avoid large hubs such as Nenn/Innia/Heyd/OMS as those will be perma-linked. |

88 solo kills last month, which obviously does not include all those where an NPC whored on the mail, or all those 1vs1s which I lost.
So no, they are not few or far between.

my friend, solo you can be, but your oponents alone they wont be, learn to play with that, never expect a honourable 1v1, be prepared to be blobed from time to time and falconed often, 1v1 is not dead, but more often is 1v X+V+Y+ etc..

Non fw low sec is ****.
0.0 in interceptors might be alright? because normal 0.0 roaming usually ends in bubbles and falcons.

The amount of posts that get posted in these threads that are wrong and only serve to disincourage people moreGǪ
1-low sec is not full of battleships and battleships. Most are in cruisers or below.
2- low sec gates are very rarely camped. And usually easy to evade.
3-solo pvp is very much a valid play style ofc u need to stick thru the bad times while u get to knw your engagement profile and how the locals operate in the area of your choice. Fw zone provides best opportunity for solo. |

There are few solo capable low sec constellations. But its not constant. You need to roam through various ones to find solo fight. Its rare nowadays but not impossible. Try to find dead ends, low jumps per hour systems, there you can find your lone souls to fight hiding/mining in belts. Oh and i recommend cloaky hunter ship.

Which isnt exactly a fight but rather a gank of some poor ratter. How I understood the thread is that OP is looking for fights, not ganks.

If youre looking for your standard frig action thing you need to go FW, thats where you gonna get your griffin permajammed frig fight fastest.
For sizes upwards every region is as viable with the difference that non FW ls is pretty dead or blobby and that 00 is pretty blobby too but the pilots are ********.

You can get good fights in 0.0 as long as you don't hang around too long. A couple of kills then move on before the blob forms. Typically go out and don't return until you are in a pod, even if that takes weeks :D
Unless ofc you happen upon some hauler carrying expensive stuff, then return via the shortest possible route as non solo as you can manage.

RvB is pretty much just FW for people who are afraid of low sec.
The war setup just emulates lower secs without any of the inherent difficulties of that..
Just go fw lowsec (but don't join FW)

Thanks everyone for the good responses.
Although I am primarily looking for good fights, I'll also accept ganks 
I have tasted FW, and although it can be fun it's not really what I am after. I want to roam further afield. I have taken to jumping through wormholes to other nullsec regions, as there are often good kills to be had amongst the AFK ratters and miners in deep null.
But I have spent 95% of my eve career in nullsec, specifically in the south. providence, Catch, Stain. I would like to explore low-sec, and hope to find like-minded people to fight, gank, get blown up by.
I think I'll install a clone near to Hevrice, Aeschee area. I hear that's an active area?

Looks like you're looking more for the gank than the fight. You'll find more of that stuff in nullsec as the active PvP regions of FW greatly discourage most types of PvE.
Hevrice is home to the Tuskers, a good solo/small group pirate organization. You'll find them roaming around that area and you'll have access to both FW warzones Cal/Gal and Amarr/Matar as well.
The majority of your fights will come from people who are connected to FacWar in one way or the other though. The militias will provide plenty of fights, and then the pirates who play with the militias will also come to fight. |

Not especially. Like most players, I'll happily take on any target I think I stand a chance of taking down. If that happens to be a hauler or something that doesn't shoot back, then fair enough, however winning a fight against a combat ship is far more satisfying than ganking a retriever.
Don't Panic.

I live around that area. Check out Tuskers and Stay Frosty KBs. There are plenty of solo/small gang fights around the region. Most of us in STFR fly solo or small gang. There are no shortage of targets - in particular during weekend and US prime TZ. |
