Yeah I haven't taken on a curse solo in anything really, only been able to make one run away with a passive fit drake...
I don't see too many flying solo, so I haven't gotten the chance to try anything out, so I figured I'd throw an idea out there anyhow. If you're set on sticking with your HAC to take him on I don't know what to tell you... but I do know a domi can get Warrior II's up to 9km/s or so, although he'd just MWD out of point range.
So, who's lost a curse solo and wants to share?

Falcon, Rapier and a baitship. 1v1 you're prolly only gonna make him run though. Really more of a nanoship problem than a curse problem.
Don't start that... 
I'd say it's not so much of a nano problem, because any like-class ship you take up against it is pretty much going to get capped out and be damped enough that it'll lose. If i really cared I'd trying thinking of an anti-curse fit for a ship rather than blaming it on a style of fitting that works.
And your sig contradicts what you said completely... unless you're one of the very very few who actually tank a curse.

My sig is really about the Pilgrim, not the curse. And I should probly update the link to link to the current active Pilgrim thread, not the original that has long since been locked.
I've flown a curse both ways. I love to fly it armor tanked as it handles much like an Arbitrator on steriods that way and less like a mini-ishtar that rapes other ships cap. However, I also dislike buying new Curses and nanoing it is pretty much the remedy to that.
1v1 I see no way to kill a good nano-Curse pilot, however it is very easy to kill a armor tanked curse 1v1. Thus, my conclusion is that the problem is one of nanos, and not the curse. You're welcome to your own opinion, it's not like I started a "nerf nanos" thread.
Yeah... just got back from the one in GD. Much stupidity regarding nanos in there. Nobody likes replacing a ship that cost them 80-150+mil to set up.
I suppose flying a races ships that actually have a tank the way they were originally designed is a big thing, but I will never ever armor tank a Vagabond (lol)... so nano nerfing is bad from my standpoint.
Curse is a wicked ship, but all it can do is tackle you if you kill the drones... unless for some odd reason there's a Curse pilot who fits guns

like fore every damn nanoship, you'll need a specialized minmatar ship to get it to stop and then another random ship to fire at it before the uggin/rapier/hyena loses his cap.
You're not a very good player, are you?
That's the brute force solution. I agree with your Heavy Pulse II comment... Lasers hurt a lot since the tracking increases.
@Boomer - what is wrong with a specialized minmatar ship? You need a falcon to ECM effectively, a Lachesis to damp effectively (sorta)... so get a Huginn friend so you can web/paint. Makes sense to me... Oh, but I'm cross trained over three races rather than refusing to change my play style and adapting (except I hate the idea of having to slow my ships down... No!)
