What is your ship of choice? And what would you recomend me?
The ship Im looking for gotta be
1. Realtively cheap as I dont got that much isk and Im bound to loose it sooner or later in a blob.
2. Must be able to avoid getting killed more or less, be it agile, beeing able to cloak doesnt matter. Just some way of getting out of trouble.
3. It must be able to handle most or atleast some ratting battleships.
(4.) And Im flying gallente myself but would be intresting to hear other suggestions to.
I reckon the curse will get mentioned. Appart from the training time and isk invested in such a ship it seems awesome. But I cant use this ship for a long time.

He mentions he knows a Curse'll get named but says he dosent have the time/isk yet, and the first 2 suggestions are other recons 
But rightly so cause they rock 
Oh and I just posted to be a smartass I have no idea what you're lookin for, cause honestly to hunt solo in 0.0 ya kinda do need to spend alot of isk/skill points. If you have neither stick to a gang before risky expensive shippys

It's already been said, but a recon is the way to go. An Arazu can take down just about anything that's ratting. Scram it from range and fire up the damps. If you have a buddy who also has a recon, they are *very* effective in small gangs. Arazu to keep them from warping, Pilgrim to suck the cap, and they warp cloaked and all that good stuff. I'd probably stay away from the Caldari recons unless you're in a gang though.
But.. since you said recons are out of the question, I'd go for a Crow. As long as you don't run in to anyone with a webber, you can always slap on the MWD and get away if the tides start to turn in your opponents favor.

Taranis, fast enough to avoid certain death most the time, and given sufficient time and ammo supply can take down ratting BSes.
3 x ion II
1 small nos
t2 mwd
t2 scramlber (not disruptor for cap reasons)
web
t2 small rep
damage control
MAPC
couple warrior II's to help kill drones
pick your fights well and good times are guaranteed, pick the wrong fight and you only lose a ceptor.

inties are ur friends here. cheap, fast and decent.
blaster ranis's are kewl if ur targets doesn't have a web. crow is awesome for survivability and added to the dps of 0.0 rats is usually enough to break most tanks but may struggle with properly setup bs tanks (but how often do u find those really?).
just train for a pilgrim

Vagabond and Pilgrim would probably be your two choices if you want to do that. But all takes skills...
As people said, inty can be handy, but its rather only to start with, in the end you will want to go for Pilgrim or Vagabond. And which one depends on your style - Vagabond can run away from most blobs, Pilgrim can just... cloak.

If you want things that don't hurt much to lose, Arbitrator, Stabber and Celestis might be worth a look. Be warned, many camps will catch Arbis and Celestis before you can mwd back to the gate, even if you don't fit a plate. All these can handle some ratting bs if flown right, you'll be wanting to use the NPC dps against them though, especially with the Stabber and Celestis.
Inties are much harder to catch but even a Celestis has more dps than range fitted inties.
You could always try an assault frig, again DPS is an issue though.
Pilgrim, Vagabond, Curse are all great options if you have more ISK to spend.

Rupture is a good choise, stabber is excellent too, but it cant handle ratting BS's (due the fact that they allways have heavy nos fitted). On the plus side, you cant really die in gatecamp

I'm going to vote for the sabre. Maybe other regions are different but actually catching a ratter in a belt is nearly impossible where I operate and I think trying to catch them just leads to a very very frustrating night.
Work your sabre just out of the range of blobs and you can pop haulers, ceptors, assault frigs, bombers and the like all night long, and good fights to be had as well. I haven't been caught once burning to the gate when jumped by a gank squad and have hundreds of kills. I have been caught by rather cunning traps and 1-1's gone wrong of course, but losses are part of the fun -- and learning experience.

The best ship depends on the region TBH. Rat damage types, the local response times, local fittings are factors. Some regions you can practically get away with soloing in a battleship, others you can do it in cruiser or BC class ship, others require a very fast ship like a vaga, nano cruiser, frigate... You also need to be able to do lots of the damage type that they aren't tanking and be able to tank the type that they do do. A zealot would be a poor choice in delve, but a good choice in curse.

Pff... everyone here is wrong:
Celestis with Sensor Dampeners... Just be sure the npc¦er is fighting some NPC¦s, showup, scram him, orbit him at a safe distance and damp his ass bad.

Since you say you have are Gallente spec try one of the speed myrmidon setups that seem to be commonly used these days. They will never be as fast as some other BC's but they don't seem to be that bad.
Try a Hurricane if you have Minnie skills and use it like a cheaper, slower vaga.

LoL all I have done in a vaga is kill 2 T1 frigates in the last 12 months I almost never fly them. The majority of us don't use them and ask the guys in Stain that we regularly fight why they use speed myms.
Oh yeah bugger off and post with your main you turd!
Bitter much?
PS. my guess you are probably the crappy OMEN pilot called n0thing who was moaning in local about this the other day. Oh and if it was you I was in an Indi, there was no blob and if you had the stones to stick your pathetic head out the station you might have seen this!
Apologies if it isn't you! But I see a post by you in this section at more or less the same time!

And for solo pvp, I find it pretty dead nowadays in EVE (propably the reason I dont play much anymore).
It's hard to find any fights for solo player now, all people do is BLOBBLOBLBOBBLOB! to hell and back, it's all about "blob or be blob'd" which sucks a lot.
A year ago the game was completely different, there were a lot more solo pirates that I could fight with (sometimes winning, sometimes losing) but those good days are gone now

Don't bother with vagas and recons. Ppl see those on scanner, or nothing at all, when you enter local and they just leave. Why? Because no1 wants to fight anyone who can run at his leisure or anything they can't see. Besides, it hurts terribly when you lose them.
Celestis is, IMO, the best choice for overall piracy.
With the right skills, you dampen most any ship to sub 10km while running a cap booster to make sure you can keep up firepower and speed. Don't bother about the tank. If you're taking damage, you've flown it wrong.
You'll need to rely on rails, missiles and drones for damage, but if u max out those skills (Drone Intercourse and Combat Drone to V ftw), you can do some nice damage.
My celestis has solo'ed a wide variety of cruisers, AFs, and less experienced players in BCs easy, and it's versatility allows it to surport gangs in a variety of ways. I've tackled HACs and battleships with it, holding them down until support arrived, and yesterday my celestis tackled a carrier at a safespot with his alt in a hurrican trying to kill me for minutes, until the damage dealers arrived.
Easily the most underestimated ship in the game.
Hell, fit this ***** with med blasters and magstabs + damps and go see if you can kill off that guy in the minute+ he'll be spending getting a lock. After all, everyone wants to get close to a celestis - and they NEVER see this one coming. ;)
Going all out T-2 really pays off with this ship too.
Other ships I've used are Vexor and Thorax, but tbh they tend to get blobbed at gates. Celestis gives you more options in al the annoying scenarios a flashy pirate can get into. I've lost two celestis in as many months (one to getting roid stuck and one to getting caught at a gate) and taken down more **** than I care to count. Amount of ransoms I've made with this is in excess of half a billion.
Not bad for a ship that costs less than 20m with fittings.
Ofc you can go T-1 too. With insane skills you could prolly get away with it solo, but I'd stick to gang work with the t-1 version.

Whether solo PVP is viable or not really depends on the timezone and region. Often you can find plenty of like minded folks roaming around in some of the "lesser" 0.0 regions, provided you don't mind playing at the likes of 0500-1100 eve time.
As has been said before, if you want to pew pew on the cheap cheap, your best bet is a Thorax. Dual rep 1600mm plate with small guns is nice, but your firepower is very limited - choose the right region though and as you're doing kinetic/thermal damage, you should have no problem taking down ratters.
