I considered starting this thread toward an inquiry into a good Amarr faction warfare pvp corp. Then I considered the question in it's totality: whether an Amarrian who wants to fight for the empire would have a good time in faction warfare at this stage of the game.
I've heard that our side is getting it's clock cleaned, and a big reason is that so many Amarr enjoy flying solo. This sounds like fun to me, but is it feasible?
It seems that Amarr characters are even more gimped than usual in FW. Not only do we have the age-old laser cap usage issues (hey CCP, you said changes were imminent months ago - what gives?), but the Minmatards have it all over us in the age-old issue of your-enemy-knows-you're-coming-and-is-totally-tanked-for-EM.
So can a solo Amarr get in on the fun and have any chance to win if he's flying something other than a Curse or a Sac? And what about player FW corps? Are there any worth joining at this point? Do we have any good gangs flying regularly in the default militia corp? Or would I just sign up and end up flying most of the time with Caldari gangs?

I have no idea on this, save for what I've read on the forums, but what's soloing like in faction warfare? Do you stick to low sec systems just in the contested areas or do you venture towards higher sec systems? And what's this I read about faction WTs camping stations in high sec? How is that possible?

To Panda and others, on my previous question of the location of fights, do you stick to the areas outlined by FW or can you roam throughout empire and find war targets?

Has anyone compiled a short list of the best Amarr FW player corps so far?

I stick to the areas outlined by FW, because my primary goal is to capture complexes. I also occasionally do missions provided by the Militia agents, because they give me a place to go and along the way I often see several plexes that I can hit on the way back.
Assuming I don't turn into PandaGoo, anyways. 
Do you stick to frigates and destroyers or have you been flying T2 stuff? And, forgive my ignorance, but can you capture complexes singlehandedly?
Also, has anyone heard about possible rewards for FW down the line? I know we just have the ranks right now, but have CCP hinted at offering something like LP rewards at some point?

The problem I've seen so far, Troub, is that with me being in the 24th, the only FCs I see around so far are either you or Angelonico. And I've noticed that, despite getting several kills in my first few days in FW, people seem to be ignoring my xes for gangs.
So I've been soloing the last couple days (to not very good effect, I get bored and start taking on bad odds) and trying to suss it all out by trial-and-error.
And, yes, to answer my own original question in this thread, it seems like one does require a HAC, Recon or Intie (choosing other frig targets) to solo. Otherwise, one must catch gangs as possible.
