As topic says! I wanna do some exploring for asteroid belts and mine them ofc! I wanna do this solo! SO!
What kind of ship do i wanna use that can mine the rare ores and defend it self from pirate npcs at the same time? What ship had enogh slots for both mining lasers and guns? With an ok cargo hold!?
Is this even posible or do i have to use 2 ships scan for belts warp inn and kill then go back for mining?

Only ship that can scan and mine is the Venture. But grav sites are notoriously hard to pin down, so you might want a exploration frigate or covert ops for scanning and a Retriever for mining.

The final form of this endeavour is a Orca with a scanning ship and mining ship on board, checking systems for belts, mines them and flies the ore to stations that ask for no tax for refining.

Shocked

Now there's a very odd question from a 3-year character


Bear in mind finding grav sites can be very hit-and-miss - in some regions they're rarer than rocking horse poo

Coming back to your question. Scamming and market manipulation/general trading are supposed to be the most profitable solo endeavours. Grinding lvl 4 missions is also reliable income as would be ninja ratting in nullsec.

In the end, it depends on what you can put your mind to without getting a headache.

Scamming in Jita?
Also, trade if you know what you are doing ...

Incursions may provide decent money and so does farming FW missions I hear.

You don't want to generalize your ship in this case. Mining a grav site solo takes long enough that you are going to want to bring in a real mining ship.

You can somewhat minimize things by bringing in a Procurer if you are in lowsec. You will have to either jetcan mine or warp back and forth slightly more often, but you will not need to bring a combat ship, meaning that in theory you only have to haul around two ships. If you are in high-sec then a retriever will still manage to permatank any rats that show up long enough for your drones to kill them.

Why not? Although I play a MMO I don't want to be social all the fecking time. As everyone knows i'm a happy go lucky chap but you can only handle fecking idiots for so long before you need to have a bit of "me" time.

If you want to do it solo why do you care about the highest isk per hour? What are you going to spend all this isk on?

Start the day off slow and taper off from there.
