Regardless of race, tech, etc, what is/are the "ultimate" solo roaming ship?
I've been giving this quite a bit of thought lately, and it feels like nothing really stands out as "uber" right now. That's pretty impressive on CCP's part. But still, it seems to me that things like the Taranis, Vagabond, and Pilgrim really stand out. They're not solopwnmobiles. In fact, nothing seems to be a solopwnmobile anymore, and that's good.
Or, are things that balanced or has solo been so thoroughly crushed that nothing really stands out because everything is so easily countered now?
Any thoughts?

some form of shield tanked fast thingy..
I'd go with a Vaga, shield tank it to keep the weight down.. try to get as much align speed as possible, get an MWD on there so you can burn away from bubble gates with any luck.
y'know.. just like people did before QR.

Takes recon 5 to fit and cloaking 5 to have a chance to lock targets but will tank and kill anything t1 in its hull class or lower. If your feeling frisky you can take out ratting Ravens if you catch them under aggro and use 5 energy neut drones to knock out the tank as you zap him with the pulses. Locks a cruiser in 3.5 seconds with 220 gun and 233 drone dps so its the perfect predator for prowling low sec faction war plexs.

Pilgrim if stealth is a must, otherwise curse. It has the ability to kill large and small ships alike while being quick enough to GTFO when things go bad. |

Wasn't a stupid question but it was a stupid answer.
Some people still do like to solo PvP in Eve.
That Pilgrim fit looks nasty!

..and good ships to use for that is interceptors, some of the HACs and Combat Recons, and light dictors fit pretty good in there as well.
If your gang grows bigger, things changes, I assume this is a small to medium sized one.

Gangs of ceptors, HACs and recons. Guess what CCP didn't nerf them into oblivion, just if my gang come after them we can usually catch 1 or 2.
Anyway if I had to choose one, would still be Vagabond.

It all depends on where you're roaming. If you're going only go a few jumps beyond your borders into no-one in particulars space and see if you can catch miners and ratters, then i'd go with an ishtar, because its solid enough to take a few hits but can kill most things.
The further you go from home the more you need to be able to run away, so if you're intruding a lil further, a vaga is great, and then even further than that ceptors are perfect. |

Solo PVP is a dying art that takes hell'a ingenuity and experience to pull off
but, from my experience, the Vagabond is my fav.
because it does decent dps w/ proper skills and fittings
it has the GTFO option
'tank' isnt too shabby, obviously won't give you a chance against a 10 man gang of cerbs or anything wild.
holds a handful of drones, ive fitted light ECM drones plenty of times.
and in my personal opinion it still has a panic factor about it for your victim, which winning the mind game is half the battle. if you can make them think they are the victim, they will be the victim.
other ships i would consider are the
ishtar, ogreIIs are beastly, or the sentryIIs.
curse, really good panic factor here as well, victims freak out when their cap is gone in the first 30 seconds or so.
and theres handfuls of other ships out there that have worked well
think people often overlook the psychological factor of some ships. make the victim fear for his life and he's gonna freak out and make mistakes and well, die.

I make short jaunts into 0.0 in a Bantam to mine.
Exactly one thing is a problem, the warp bubble.
So far I can deal with anything else by fleeing like a scared little girl.
Once I have a few more skills I plan to take the same kind of jaunt out to NPC null sec. I don't know who controls Mordu's Legion territory but I'm sure I'll find out when they blow me up.
BTW, you're going to do this in a jump clone, n'est pa? |

Interceptors if you are going to go after frigs, haulers and stuff. For tougher targets Vaga, Pilgrim maybe Arazu and Rapier too. |

Right after and before downtime, you get a huge traffic in shuttles frigs and haulers in just about every 0.0 region...
An interdictor is usually the only real ship that can stop this flood of traffic...
When I lived in the drone regions you would get convoys of chinese IT 5's, each loaded with 20000m3 of drone loot...
These convoys were led by 5-6 alts in pods that could instantly warp. You pretty much needed a dictor to drop bubbles to have any chance of getting the mega loot. |
