What's up, EVE.
I love this game. My buddies are too carebear to play so while I'm on I tend to solo roam.
My ambitions are small. I'm not necessarily looking for trouble, yet I rarely run from a fight. The thrill of victory versus true loss is great. I know the risks. I want the experience of better players broken down in the form of usable advice.
---
My skills will show that I am a combat pilot. At this point, absolutely everything is level 3-5. From what I understand, as far as skill points go that isn't far outside newb territory. I understand this and still accept the risk.
Like any other capsuleeer, I have strengths and weaknesses. One strength is that unless you have a warp bubble directly on a gate, I am unusually adept at slipping gate camps and pursuers. It was one of the first things that drew me to the game. I am also pro at D-Scan. With my skill points I am best at armor and speed tanking while I can use any turret or drone. My missile skill is not into T2 yet, however. I have opted more towards drones thus far. I can fly anything Gallente up through Battleships. I can fly all Pirate faction ships up through Battleships. All my Gallente and Amarr ship skills from Frigs to BS are level 4-5.
---
Where I tend to fly, the biggest threats are small frigate gangs camping within 15km of a gate. Single Frigs and Cruisers I don't worry about as much since either they usually have to come within 14km to keep me from Micro Jump Driving away and then warping. Rarely, I will run into Cruisers and Faction Cruisers. I have yet to encounter any BCs or BSs in my roaming.

This is the role I'd like a ship to fill:
I like to roam. I just like to cruise around and check out null sec. I like to pop rats and tool around in DED complexes. I rarely even finish them. I literally enjoy just drifting about aimlessly through space. But EVE is dangerous, and people want you dead. That's half the fun.
I'd really like to see as many different ship fits as possible that are suited to this sort of playstyle. First and foremost, if possible, I'd like to be able to escape. If not, at the very least I'd like to be able to recklessly murder any solo frigates that try to scout and tackle me. My main concern is going about my business. That being said, I also have this annoying tendancy to love PvP. So I am more than willing to trade flight for fight.
Are there any ship fits to fill this role? (Frigate - Battleship)
---
Also, I am more than open to any useful solo survivalist tips. So far I know of and aptly use D-Scan, Ping-ponging Celestials, "Unfucking" my Overview, Slingshotting, Bookmarking, Luring into Gate Guns, and checking Capsuleer info (like character age) to evade danger and decide when it's appropriate to fight.

Regarding which ship might be a good fit, take a look into the Astero. You can tool around in smaller sites - exploring, hacking, scanning - to your heart's content while being able to evade most camps using your Covert Ops Cloak. The pursuit of excellence and stabbed plexing alts. |

This video is admittedly dated, but he still discusses some of the finer points of solo roaming. Worth a watch.

Next to capacitor, speed is life.
If you think tank is going to save you from that 90 man blob that saw you in their intel channel, think again. |
