Apparently real soloers are rare in 0.0.
I once met Heikki soloing a whole 0.0 system all by himself.
"[ME]> Awsome setup you got there
Heikki> It works pretty good sometimes"
You can learn from Heikki's knowledge in soloing. If he'll part with it.
Mind you, Heikki, I will come for my vindication

Thanks for all the great info everyone. Espeacally SmokeMeAKipper now I know where a Mil isk is  .
So from the sounds of it soloign now adays has its ups and downs and for the most part you have to be lucky and/or have an out of the box setup. Currently I have a crap load of different minmatar ships at my disposal(well I hope not disposal but use) And when I dead out I just have to deside do I want to risk alot of isk or a little :).
I appreicalte all the advise everyone has give.
I do have one more question to add. If I am to bounty hunt my targets will most likly have neagative standing. If I'm at a gate is a syste .1-.4 at what point can I fire first on the Pirate and not have the sentures fire one me? Is thier a point or is it Automatic who ever fires first get shot at by the senturies? Just something I'm considering but probably would not work because most of you have instas anyway :).

/me doesnt play by myself. I play with others.
Besides, everyone uses so many stabs these days, if you want to solo, you will need a ship with many mid-slots and high-slots. One rack for tackling, one rack for killing.
/me wonders what kind of ship can provide that.

I've pvped solo more than most, first in frigs and cruisers in the CA war, where I was in third place on CA's most killed list but also had hundreds and hundreds of kills to show for it.
Then everything evolved with the downfall of CA and I became accustomed to ravage the npcers of Curse solo or with my small group of trusted, likeminded fighters.
After that I took up being the alliance type of guy, always leading and flying in gangs and fleets but I got tired of that due to a fleet's inability to [insert 1 of 468456 facts why leading alliance gangs sucks].
Specializing in killing npcers and miners, I sought to fly alone, despite people's wishes to have me in gangs and made a fine living off the loot of those unfortunate enough to meet me at the wrong place at the wrong time and had tons of fun; something that alliance gangs could rarely offer me.
Call killing npcers and miners easy if you like, but those who know better understand exactly what I mean when I say that solo pvp isn't easy in any way.
Especially not when it's 1 versus a big gang, which seems to be every coward's answer to superior fighters.

I`ll go solo if nothing else is happening corp wise, in general I fly with a wingman or two as it gives me more versatility and abit more of a fighting chance against gank/blob squads

As long as there are 2 month old players ratting in Domi's in a .4 system, I will solo PvP.
Or solo gank, really.

Gordan you did fine solo last night when ya took my Battlecruiser out :P
I had the most jacked up setup in that... was using 4 Reactor Cores to get the Seige Launcher on the BC - armed with EMP Torpedo's, bet you were like wtf is this guy doing with a seige launcher on a BC.
I think when I warped into the 0.4 you targeted me and I got a torpedo off before I warped, I have since dropped down to a cruiser, think only playing for 18 days, the Battlecruiser is way to much ship for someone under 1 month in the game.

I have solo pirated on this character almost as much as I have flown in groups.
People who say solo pirating is dead are noobs and/or clueless.

Try stopping them from aligning (if they're in anything bigger than an intie). Can't warp if you can't align. No WCS can defeat that. |

because its fun to bump ships :|
Although i do use the bump technique alot, it just looks silly when a cruiser sends a battleship into a spin while bouncing off it just as stupidly.

Allah is my wingman and he will, as a matter of routine, nullify the enemy's warp core stabs.
teh ioctl doesn't mine - he looks at the asteroids and they warp to the nearest station and refine themselves. |

in answer to your last question Jet
you can only fire on someone at a gate if they have a sec status below -5, this makes them outlaw and sentries no longer help them.
Outlaws are easy to spot as they are always flashing red
If someone is flashing red you can fire freely
- there are other reasons why someone could be flashing red as well, e.g. can theft, recent aggro, war target(?)
but you can fire on these as well.

Thanks SmokeMeAKipper, thats what I though I just want to make sure so I don't give the Pkers the upper hand and have the sentries attack me

Ya this is where I will have my most trouble for sure. *Jet gets to excited when thinking about the unpredicatblity of a pvp attack. When attack NPC's np just sit back and watch them melt. With a Pker.. *Jet sits 2 inches from the screen wondering whats going to happen next has his shaky hand tryes to engage... I should probably work on using all the short cut keys.
*Jet wonders if he just gave up to much information

A lot of people are mentioning SOLO pvpers who use alts to scout, this is indeed a form of solo but is by no means true solo, True solo is having 1 account online and not alt tabing to get your covert/whatever to jump in next system to check coast is clear, or indeed using alt to find juicy target then warping your main in.
I nearly made it the whole way round eves 0.0 in a BS solo with no scout once and no stabs...was quite fun, the fun ended when i engaged a RAT geddon who was camping a gate solo only for him to warp of in like 5% structure ( lucky sod ), whereupon i was promptly jumped by 3 other RAT bs pilots.
Most annoying "solo" wannabee pvpers in game at moment are those that engage in 1v1s only to warp off while scrambled because they have stabs fitted, they might of actually done better if they fitted somthing other than stabs.

Solo PvP is always the most satisfying but there's a limit to how many scramblers you can fit on one ship and still kill stuff. And there's no limit to stab abusers out there.
EvE is really set up against any kind of solo PvP. Even ignoring WCS, the 20km scram range stops all long range set ups when you solo.

I've been solo since april 2004.
Untill recently :P
I've probably had more fun in the game then most ppl.
Solo is fun.
I love being chased by groups of gank squads with BSs and HACs after me, i'm only in a frig size ship.
I can name one encounter for instance. In G space i was in a rifter, saw an opportunity, Covetor barge mining crockite YOOHOO pop it. Get chased by 5 people including 2BS 1 HAC 1 destroyer 1 taranis. I outrun them for a bit and go to a dead end system with no BMs the destroyer and ranis come to local and call me a total noob going after miners and not fighting their gang head on. I laugh and challenge the Cormonant to a duel. I warp to planet 1 and fknBBQ*****his Cormonant and his pod. All he says is "wow..." and i didn't hear from their gang again not once.
This is one of tens maybe hundreds of encounters i've had.
