I did low-sec solo a lot before, and wouldn't hesitate to do it now although 'it's not what it used to be'.
There is absolutely nothing holding you back from doing solo PvP in low sec. If ISK loss is problem you can fly very cheap ships so it's not an excuse unless you are still in trial period or something.
What hold people back, or put them off, is the idea that they want to fly solo and have 1v1 or fights at reasonable odds but the practical experience tell them they get gang banged by 'blob'.
Once you get into your head that low sec is a place where you can get gang banged, JUST LIKE how we preach high sec bears they should get it into their head they can get ganked any time (duh?), then there is no barrier.
Just like we tell HS bears they can shoot too, you can blob too in low sec.
If you fly solo and get blobbed, you should just lol and gf and get another ship out and try not to fall for the same trap again.
If you EXPECT to fly solo and get the fights you want and dodge the blobs you don't want, you need to work on your ability/local knowledge to meet your expectations.

Well something you're missing is that if you're pvping in cheap ships there's not much of a reward as you don't have much to lose. I never understood the attraction of pvp when you have nothing to fear. It feels cheap.
Flying in an expensive ship is another story. There's nothing like actually risking a $50 space ship and the adrenaline that comes with this risk. However if the risk is So great then why do it at all? This is where lowsec currently stands for the solo pilot.
I get what you are saying, but I'm not missing anything. Cheap ship example was just to illustrate that if ISK is an issue, people can get around it. Perosnally I only fly T2 or T3, and sometimes pirate faction, with at least one or two faction mods.
I'm addicted to risk & rush, I go head first with brawling solo fits (I'm not too fond of kiting). Yes I do get blobbed from time to time, but that's just how things are. You can't expect to be beating someone up in local gang land without some other thugs turning up for action.
I risk a lot on many things, and I like it when it works out. But when I risked it and lose it, I don't suggest game mechanics change.

Actually the skill injector talk gives me an idea - would be cool if we can extract SP from pod pilots while holding them pointed, some kinda hacking tool that gives you a skill injector. But then again that would kill the aurum based extractor market. I just like the grotesque idea of a helpless pilot sitting there screaming nooooooo! while his SP is being drained (to some limit). :p

Yeah was just a wacky idea lol. But people have been asking for 'salvaging implants from corpse' for many years though, so it fits that hard spirit. But yes, you are right, this is probably off topic as I don't see this could attract people to come to low sec (to get extracted lol).
