Currently finding a ship that is not only fast enough to deal with intys, but still have the DPS and projection to handle other ECM / blob threats is very heard to come by. After the Kronos expansion, things should get much easier. After the introduction of the new mordus line / sansha line things will beomce much easier for the solo / super small gnag player.
Until then hower, here are a few ships that can work well solo.
Heretic: LML SAAR fit
Omen: Shield fit, no point. Generally flown in gang
Nomen: Armor / point for solo or Shield for small gang
Zealot: Shield for gang
ANY EAF: Sentinel is great for solo, others are amazing fleet ships
Oracle: Shield pulse laser fit- best DPS support ship in game
Diemos: Rail / shield or Blaster Shield fit
Thorax: Rail shield or rail armor fit
Arty Wolf
Slicer
Rail DD
Vigilant: Rail / Blaster shield fit
Tornado: 800MM Web / shield fit. Flown in gangs only
Celestis: Gang ECM Support
Ishtar: Shield kiting / drones*** One of the most OP ships in game currently
Vexor Navy
And that about wraps it up. With the new warp speed changes, flying things larger than a cruiser outside of a gang- is a really, really dangerous idea. BS are completely out of the question and BCs are all ****. Except for the oracle / nado. Other than that Missiles are pretty much useless (HMLs / HAM's) are really **** at applying damage. So your choices are going to be a bit limited.
Good Luck.
Exactly what I was looking for Chessur, thanks mate.
Went out in my Wolf & SFI last night.
SFI
5x 425mm
MWD
Point
LSE
Web
3x TE
2x Gyro
1x DC
5x Warriors
Usually very good for dealing with frigs and blobs sending tacklers out.
But I met one of the new SOE Frigs, I was sitting in a FW plex, 5 in local, 2 WT, been there for 25 mins, checking nothing on Long DScan & short DScan every few secs (As a bittervet does).
Then a wild frig appears, Decloaks, web/scram, I start going to town on him, get him down to 1/2 armor, thinking hes dead, then Logi shows up...
I soon die, thinking to myself, I now need to educate myself on this NEW EVE and its nasty new ships, 'oldschool' doesn't work anymore.
It seems adapt or die. :)
Don't say I now need a Logi alt to tag along with. :)
