Now I plead to all Gallente loyalists - redeem our battleship lineup, show me somewhere the Hyperion and Megathron can excel in solo PVP!
The megathron is still a great ship, hybrids still hinder it a bit especially for gang use but the hull is solid, I'd even go so far to say that it is a better solo ship than the hype. Again Forever Pirate Final shows it used to great effect.
The domi is by far my favourite and objectively the most versatile. Good hull + good weapons
The mega is still alright, even despite hybrids being awful (bar smalls) Good hull - bad weapon system
The Hype is hindered by fitting, outclassed by the domi and maelstrom and suffers non-tracking-bonused hybrids - bad hull - bad weapon system - no utility.
Pretty much all the battleships in eve have a unique role, the only one the hyperion does better than the rest is shield gank, which is hugely limited.
Geddon - Best POS bash
Apoc - best sniper / midrange
Baddon - best armour-alpha, best fleet, overall win
Scorp - survivable ECM
Raven - missions, torp boat
rohk - shield fleet neuting platform, sniper it were viable
'Phoon - armour raven with more neuts, solo
Tempest - suicide gank / alpha
Mael - massive active tank / shield alpha
Domi - versatile, RR, solo
Mega - good fleet boat if hybrids worked, excellent 0km ganker
Hype - massive dps shield gank
Sorry for diverging, as for a solo pvp, hybrid ship I would say work from something like this I know 'OMG battleclinic' but its honestly a fair place to start from then you tweak it to do what you want.
You can't really dual rep the mega as you'd need 2 cap boosters and then you lose the web, which blasters really need, you could think about swapping the neut for a nos for longer cap life, but having a heavy neut is almost essential solo.
You'd be better of with a domi / isktar still unless you are fighting under sentry guns. |

Dont use an hyperion or mega solo in low sec, you wil get ganked to death, go for a triple rep myrmidon with 2 cap injectors and T2 medium ACs.
It have an excellent survavibility and does decent dps even with Acs
Mega is an excellent ship for small gangs, even better if you haveRR support. |

Use Garmon's Vindi. Bit expensive, sure, but it performs rather well (with boosting alt, extra cap boosters from transport ship alt, falcon alt in case you see neutralizers, etc.). Also, these days, I would suggest 5-8 Nyx alts to counter the 1-4 Nyxs you will have dropped on you by PL.
Alternatively, use above advice and a Kronos, just hope they have no ECM Drones / Falcons / Rooks / Blackbirds / Griffins / Widows / Scorpions / a Gallente Jammer on any ship / any jammer on any ship / a solar flare / EMP ammo / etc.
EDIT: Forgot the alt(s) with cynos. |

Best solo ship is the one with a cyno and a fleet waiting on a titan!
Also remember this: There is no solo PVP in EVE. And if you find something that resembles solo pvp, it's an illusion. EVE is an MMO, so use it to your advantage, or someone else will use it to theirs (and against you).

Rooks & Kings, not surprised about your attitude. 
There's actually a fair few solo PvPers in Eve, and PvPP is even better. Just don't complain about getting blobbed. 
Again, I recommend the Dominix for a Gallente solo BS - the ECM proof DPS nature of it (drones), as well as it's extra utility will prove invaluable. |

Ok, the "Kessah Domi" caught my attention.
Concerning Drugs I probably need biology and nanite control as high as I can, or at least lvl 4...
As for moving 3 or 4 drug boosters on hi-sec, with me or my hauling alt, what is the chance of being caught by npc police? If high, what to I need to train to move small quantities around?
In the implant department, what you guys recommend? The "Zet" series I suppose?
Also I would not mind to set up a small temporary pos on a set bait system to put there a AFK alt/mate with gang links modules. Any recomendation on a fit for a BC or T3, other than having the proper gang module and skills?
Noticed than on the "Forever Pirate" Videos, Kessah would have containers and even haulers following him with cap boosters. Did nobody remembered to shoot the cans or the hauler?

It's easy to lol at that in retrospect but before you do you better ask yourself if you would have 1) the balls to give the unconventional order of switching primary from the single BS that is killing your gangmembers to a hauler and 2) have the experience and situational awareness to recognize, in time, that this isn't some random hauler just passing by.
When it comes to implants I would imagine that alot of people would recommend the standard active tanking hardwirings plus an incomplete slave-set. I would personally recommend an incomplete spur-set instead. The reason for this is the frequency of ECM and ECM-drones . |

Oh, don't get me wrong! I'm not "loling" at the "target calling" from the kessah dominix foe. I just think the idea just so plain simple and effective that make it so brilliant. Specially because, like you said, cans and haulers are probalby not the priority.
Thks for the tip on implants |

I, too, enjoy soloing with gang boosters, Falcons, logistics, tacklers and a SC blob ready to hotdrop at a moment's notice.
Also, battleships will make solo a bit difficult. Expect to only get fights where the other guy thinks he's going to win. You're not going to get the jump on anyone. |

Regarding the Hype;
You should only need 1 cap booster. Fit a 2nd Web.
You should also consider removing a gun for a heavy neut - this will help in a lot more situations than 1/8th more damage. |
