I am about as Carebear as they come, but a year ago I decided to take a vacation in 0.0. a more experienced friend scouted me through a corpse strewn mega campsite to a quiet dead end 0.0 system 11 jumps in with a Quafe station and lvl 4 agent.
I did the trip in a stabbed Thorax but apart from piles of corpses around the gate, no one even tried to lock me. just before dt ftw. Forget the system name its a choke point next to Villore.
I carried a hold full of T2 mods and Drones and a 5 run Domi BPC. after my escort took his leave in his interceptor I did a few hours ratting till I had enough mins to build a Domi. had to head to the next system to build it.
I spent a month in that system doing a few missions and chaining rats, I docked at the first sign of any one entering the system, but most were industrial types hauling stuff.I clone jumped back to empire when I was bored or needed to do something.
Getting braver I then headed out to Outer ring, when RISE was having trouble with Youwhat, I headed straight for a true 0.0 system to get some uber loot, spent a few days there docking in the main hub. chatting to the poor souls who were under CEO orders not to venture out solo and provide targets for the enemy, or couldnt undock because they didnt have enough to buy a new ship and the boss was not logged on to give a new one.
yes solo in 0.0 is entirely possible if you watch every movement and cloak till the danger is past. People dont stay long in deserted systems.
I am constantly reminded of my adventures by the assets tab which still contains enough loot and minerals to build at least 2 Domis, I sold the Domi I was using and left a clone which is still there. later I did the same in the Ushrakahn held systems, my clone and a frigate are still in their old outpost which I notice has a new name now.

I would not count on the fact that you can enter an alliance territory and survive . IMHO all ships that pack a serious punch shouldn't not be able to remain cloaked forever .
I guess thats true of most alliance held territory but in my case RISE and Ushrakahn were not so blood thirsty and in fact were ok to chat to in local. some of the RISE exiles were a bit spammy in local however, I usually just told them I was cloaked and would stay that way till they had departed, not worth the time or ammo to hunt me down I guess. And more risky for them than me methinks.
A large typed friendly to the local alliance in my Bio worked wonders usually.

Triple BS spawns would take you forever to take down and a speedy kill is important when a threat may enter the system at any time, You need to loot as well so not much use with a frigates cargo bay. I built myself an Exequor fitted with expanders I looted from the serp rats, The cruisers drop plenty of them.
Remember being 30 jumps into a nice quiet spot wont be any use to you if you run out of ammo. Plan ahead and set up a base in an NPC station like I did then foray out from there.

Doing it at this time of day will be a recipe for a podding, most of the campers and roving gangs seem to log on around now and it doesnt get quiet again till just before DT.
