I was wondering what Amarrian ship is the best to run complexes solo in nullsec? Of course I googled this issue and stumbled upon various forum post that all claim something different or were posted years ago. Now I'm curious what ships you recommend/fly yourself. I'm fairly new to complex-running and would like to know which ship does the job the quickest and/or safest.

o7,

My son currently does them in a Carrier, but was using a Tengu up until recently. No idea if that is the optimal, but he seems to be having fun with it.

How solo? No alts, not an ally within 10 jumps solo? Or you being in a sea of blue, just no one else on grid solo?

Just me being on grid solo. Let's just say i don't have to worry about other pilots wanting to kill me.
I know i won't be able to solo 10/10 complexes but i would like to run complexes with a 7/10 or maybe even 8/10 rating solo. I know that it can be done since i already (foolishly and because of boredom) ran a Sansha Forlorn Hub with a (!) PvP Harbinger. It was painful and a long long loong (srsly it was like the longest thing i ever done in eve) warp game. Now I just want to get a good ship to do these complexes.

In that case, it should be rather hard to go wrong with the amarr BS lineup.

Nightmare/Paladin for expensive, Armageddon/Abaddon for less expensive, depending on where your skill strengths are, I guess?

Well, something alone the lines of a nano-niddy is always good. Easily gets 2000+ DPS Omnitank while dealing 1300+ DPS itself.

Really, it's the best PVE Carrier.

7/10 can be run in a BS of your choice (i did it in a geddon) but its loooong. Paladin/nightmare recomended.
Anything below is a piece of cake for solo BS or T2/T3.
P.S. Dont try and use legion in 7/10, especially vs bloodies.

Thanks to all of you. I bought myself an Abaddon now since a Carrier isn't reall an option for me.

o7 and fly safe,

I like your ship choice but though I'd add Navy Armegeddon the list for anyone else who may be looking to do the same that stumbles upon your thread.
