Been trying to find out in-game if the new incursion scout sites are soloable, and if so what ship type?

Anyone?

Bastioned marauder properly tanked with depot and different gear to deal with sniper and short range does work, BUT and its a big one, one that makes nikki minaj's booty look like an anorexic stick insect. ITS NOT WORTH IT! (didnt test the golem)

Incursions arent designed to be solo. The redone staging sites are designed to be a level that a small fleet can do while it get the numbers for VG, AS etc.

I feel the balance is a bit wrong on them too, depending on just what fleet you are using you may need dedicated snipers if your DPS is weak and the antems get out of reach, arnons at 50km who cares, antems at 120km however were a slight irritation, which is why if you plan to solo id suggest a paladin with depot. Or be sociable in a multiplayer game and join a fleet. Staging payouts are still not worth it. especially solo, you can make more running level 3 missions than staging sites solo.

Please note, I didnt bother with MJD testing, i also didnt bother to assume your idea of solo is is boxing a fleet and that your meaning of solo is 1 ship.

I think making them not soloable was a mistake. Single pilots need content while waiting for a spot on a fleet. What CCP did was provide content for an undersized fleet while they gather more pilots. But that still leaves the single pilot who is waiting with nothing to do.
Maybe there needs to be still smaller sites, ones with about 1 million reward, that can be done by a single pilot flying a typical incursion setup, while they are waiting.

Edit: or maybe the belt rats could be turned into these single pilot sites. Or something.

Considering a typical incursion setup has no local rep, it can be a bit of a problem.
