I have searched these forums, but almost all the stuff I find is very old. Could someone please give a standard, non-group, solo player (for now) Malediction Setup that would be good for PvE, and if I was in low sec and got caught by a priate or if I wanted to go out and hunt pirates I could hold my own. Thanks in advance.

To be perfectly honest, you want an AF for soloing. I fly inties and AF's but the AF is far superior.

Unfortunately, I like how the Malediction looks, and I am a slave to fashion. I will be using a Malediction as the skills I have been training since I started are leading up to being able to use one as soon as possible.
Anyway, here is what I was thinking for fittings. Any advice is appreciated other than the type above telling me to use another ship. If I have made any glaring mistakes or left out something really important please let me know. Also, if there is anything else that I may want to train in so I could swap out items depending on what I am specifically doing then let me know that as well. Thanks in advance!

With noobish skills like mine, the inty is the best type of ship i can fly. (or will be able to fly in three days). I realize AF's are better suited for this type of work but there has to be a respectable setup for the Malediction to solo in low sec.
I'm assuming:
Hi
2x guns (type?)
1x rocket
1x nos
Med
AB, Web, Scram
Lo
WCS, hardener (plate?), repper
Of course this comes from guessing/tinkering on Quickfit. I run the same sort of setup on my Tristan for this very purpose with wonderful results. I want the Malediction to do the same only with a little more style. 
Any veterans with advice other than "Don't do this?"

Just a note on my setup above, I'd like to drop all those lows for more functional items once my skills are good enough to get rid of them, and I need advice on what to aim for in those spots when possible.

No experienced Malediction pilots have any advice?

Pick me! for PvE, get yourself a different ship :P The DPS is attrocious on a malediction.
ALSO all those low slot configs i have seen suck:
You really only have two options for fitting a malediction you can run an afterburner, or a MWD. If you opt for the microwarpdrive there is NO REASON you should fit turrets, because they will be useless, so go for 2x missle launchers, also you should fit a cap power relay and 2x inertial stabs.
If your going to fly it with an AB, your gonna need your sig radius to stay low, you can opt for turrets/and or guns, but in reality your not going to get much DPS out of this ship. You can peak your speed at just under 1500m/s and running an AB you MAY consider an armor rep, but this ship aint gonna tank at all.
AFs are most definatly NOT superior to inties, I think inties are better ships, HOWEVER, AF's will be better PvE hands down.
I also HIGHLY recommend not using inties as a solo ship, small gangs, or fleets are good, solo not IMPOSSIBLE, but i dont recommend, since your job is to takle and DPS isnt going to be great no matter what you do, have faith in your sig radius but not in your paper hull :)

Malediction's good for PVP, awful for PVE.
Anyway:
3x Gatling Pulse II
1x 1mn MWD II, 7.5k warp disruptor, web
2x heatsink II, 1x inertial stab
There isnt a tank because you're flying at ludicrous speed, and if you DO get hit you're screwed regardless.

If I were to try to use a Malediction for PvE, what would be the best PvE setup? I assume both of those above setups are for PvP as I don't think I need a disruptor for PvE.
I also like the Crusader's design, is that a better craft for PvE? If so, what would be good for a PvE Crusader setup?

Well...
If you are insistent on using it for PVE you could try fitting an AB and medium pulse lasers to it, along with cap power relays and a small armour repairer.
An AF would be much more suitable however.

I have never used (and would never think of using a Malediction for PvE). Honestly, For PvE (assuming Missions) Interceptors arent really that great for anything more than LvL 2's. I do LvL 3 missions in my sleep in my Retribution Assault Frig, tho, so if you want to mission, get an AF.
Solo/Group Malediction PvP setup:
3x Dual Light Pulse II's
1x E5 Nos
1x 1MN MWD II
1x X5 Web
1x 7.5km Scram
1x Small armor rep (Use sparingly, or after the fight if you survive)
1x MAPC (+10 flat PG)
1x Heatsink II
Note: I do not post my ship fittings with my main. Im paranoid...

Hmm, well I just looked and I don't mind the look of the Retribution, lol I know it is such a horrible way to pick my ships, but I just can't stand the asymmetrical design of a lot of the ships. Anyway, will take yer advice and use a Retribution for missions and a Malediction for PvP when I am so inclined to seek that out or join a corporation that does that kind of stuff. Thanks for the help.

I would just like to add a little disclaimer. When I said I could "sleep" through lvl 3 missions in my Retri, I meant it as a hyperbole. Here is the truth of the matter:
I was able to complete (not as efficiently as a Battleship, mind you) MOST lvl 3 missions PRERevelations. The only pre-rev mission that gave me trouble was 'Massive Attack' (I worked for Caldari Navy).
I say "pre-rev" because honestly, I havent done a mission in about 2 months or so. Too busy out in 0.0

On second thought, "Don't do this" is perfectly understandable advice. By not heeding it i'm risking alot of hard earned isk. My lines of thinking were that the inty is better than anything i'm currently flying since it is a T2 ship. So, obviously, it should be able to do what i normally do, solo ratting and mission running. Common sense says i'm wrong.
Time to start training those AF skills!

for straight out ratting, if you're in dark blood space, a crusader will do the job quite well
4xGatling2 (scorch/conflag)
1xAB2
1xSAR2 3xHS2
about 215 DPS with conflag (that's raw DPS), but you won't hit anything smaller than BSs with conflag... scorch will still do decent damage (~170 DPS) which won't break BS tanks, but will pop frigs and probably cruisers
you won't be using the repper, and if you get nossed, your AB should still work (or you'll be able to refire it pretty quickly)
again, if you're taking damage NPCing in a belt, you're doing it wrong, and will soon get pwned... they should rarely hit you, and almost never get you into armor (depends on the spawn here)
I've taken the toughest dark blood spawns I've run into with this ship, surviving repeated nossing, and so forth... but this was all pre-revelations, and I'm not sure how it'd be right now
