The best way to play Eve solo is to go it alone.

So ill start by saying i freaking love paying this game. However in the time i have played it seems like i have the worst luck in finding a good corporation to roll with. Youll see ymy employment history that Ive been in numerous corps trying to find the best fit and not really staying in long....As a newer player i failed to realize that this would undoutedly raise red flags to my recruitment into other corps so im taking a break from that and rolling solo.

So back to the point, what direction should a solo player take if they want to continue keeping the game fresh and exciting? I play roughly 12 hrs a week just to give an amount.The most ive ever done was running missions and an occasional wormhole but that about it...Any advice would be appreciated.

That made me laugh right there.
I've been a solo player ever since I started in 2005. Corps never really ammount to anything much apart from getting wardec and then your ships being blown up. I'm not much of a pvp player and I don't like robbing people of their stuff. So I don't do that. But what I do do is everything else. I mine, use the ore for my factory, during times of hulkagadon I then missin run level 3 mostly for the loot which I refine with scrap mettle 5 for more minerals for my factory. I also manage planets as well. Got them set to dailey cycles. So I have to pop into them every day to keep them ticking over. As a solo player I just created my own company which only I'm in it. But hopefully I might be able to build it up later souly for mission runners and mining ops. But I play this game as I like to call it. On the cusp. I play it to keep my skills trained. I like to set things in motion so that I'm making isk whilst I'm not there. So I can go off and do other things. Just come on now and again to set skill training, manage planets, set off new install jobs, or if I need some isk ASAP like to buy the next skill book, ship or materials then I'll do a quick spot of level 3 mission running or mining.

If you want to play solo then you're going to require alts to do it. I find that the more "solo" players usually have between 3 and 8 alts (accounts) to suit their needs.

Many people are going to disagree that one requires more accounts to play solo. They would be correct to an extent. WIthout an army of alts and depending on which area of the game you're interested in, your efficacy will be extremely limited.

Hah! now this guy I like and can relate to.
I am a solo player with 6 accounts. Depending on what I feel like doing decides which toons I log on to.
If it's mining then I drag the toons with the highwall and the Michis out. If it's missions then 3 other toons with a maxed out FC are on call to decimate level 4's and clean up the salvage so that my industrialist/science toons can build me as many T3 ships and parts as I need.
This game is excellent for antisocials like me, it's just a case of getting the right ballance of toons and having the correct medication to handle the attacks of shizophrenia.
I was once in a corp and went wormhole with them. The CEO was not the brightest and most of us lost our ships because he got the agro settings wrong on the POS.

This is not true. I have one alt only... and with the exception of gate camping the alt is more trouble than he's worth to fly in support. It takes one account to play this game. Only one. You want to branch out go ahead... but to speak of 'efficiency' requires a goal and with regards to mining or something stupid that may be the case. However, nothing is more efficient imho than only having to split the loot one way. If the players are who you play against... it only takes one. ...unless they bring friends... then it only takes one to run away!

Don't sit here and tell everyone you only need one account to do whatever you want to do. It's not true unless your idea of playing the game is sticking your thumb up your bum for most of the time you're online. The man is talking about solo play. Having a lot of friends around to help you achieve your goals is not solo play.

For example, w-space. You might need to close your outgoing/incoming wh's for security reasons. If it happens to be a busy day that could be as many as 6 wh's. Now, you're going to tell us that you're going to solo close 6 holes that at best will take you about half an hour for each? Or go solo an anomaly for 45 minutes and see how many you can abandon in a row when you see someone on dscan, if you're that lucky. Raise thumb, insert into anus. When the warm fuzzy sensation is gone you've had enough Eve solo with one account, mmm'kay?

Don't forget your worthless shiptoasting forum alt.

No one mention exploration ? This is in my opinion best solo path for eve online. If you make orca(as mobile base) alt you can go deep it to WH and live realy nice nomad live.
