I've been looking into ways to make more money on my own, I have a corp behind me, but I'd also like to see if I could solo a C4 in a sub cap, or a loki, is it possible or is it only an OP tengu that can solo a site solo? if you've done this, how would I fit the ship I use?

Below is a separate Forum 'Wormholes' in the section 'EVE Gameplay Center'.
Take a look there and especially at the sticky threads.

And sa short answer is no you can't do C4s in anything active tanked excepted maybe a maurauder

C4s will absolutely murder anyone that asks questions in New Citizens Q&A that is solo.

If you can duo L5 missions and understand wormhole operational security, then you might be able to complete (inefficiently) C4 sites solo, but if a hostile player gets past your defenses, your expensive ship is toast.

I would imagine that a well fit marauder in bastion mode might be able to tank enough dps to do one solo, but the minute you're scanned out by others then kiss your expensive multi-billion isk ship goodbye. The guys who hang around C4's tend to know how to fight.

EDIT: Instead of asking yourself this, ask yourself why - in a multiplayer game like EVE - you are trying to figure out ways to do things solo. Best solution - get some friends and do it in company. Safer, much more fun, and you can deal with anyone unlucky enough to drop on your grid (unless he has a blob behind him).

I would suggest 4 ships for a C4, not because of DPS, but because of the energy neuts.

We used to do them with 4x Tengu with passive resists and remote shield transporters. It was very hard to stay awake because it was so boring easy.

As others have pointed out, a Marauder could easily solo, but would be a target.

Remote rep Dominix are also a popular choice for C4s. Three of them can run any of the sites excluding data/relic pretty easily. If you are truly solo, I wouldn't suggest running C4 sites. Even if you can pimp out a marauder that can handle the site, you will be very vulnerable to other players without scouts and backup. However, you say you have a corp behind you, so do as you will.....and I'll just hope to roll in to your hole :D
