i couldnt find an appropriate forum to put this in so please move if wrong.

What aras of null/low sec are currently really good for solo to very small gang fights (upto say 6 or 7 ships (not fw space though)

Thanks in advance.

Gallente/Caldari FW zone. Heydieles, Nennamaila, Tama - someone will shoot you 100% guaranteed.

Not sure why you want to rule out FW space, given that the majority of lowsec falls into this category and its the most active small gang and solo space in the game. You also don't have to be in FW to exploit the activity here as you can kill FW nerds with as much abandon as any other neutrals. Should you come to your senses, I believe Black Rise is the most active space in the game at the moment.

Perhaps your right, my experience of trying FW space was people that ran away with warp core stabbed ships or sat off gates blapping anything that came through in large (ish) fleets before warping off to avoid gate damage, although perhaps that was just where I was trying it. And this was solo too rather than in a gang.

Gate camps are a hassle but you can learn where they most commonly spring up, and a frigate can skate through most of them easily enough.

Beyond that if you run around in a frigate or destroyer you will find plenty of people willing to go 1v1. Small gang to fleet sized groups in frigate - cruiser sized ships are a common sight.

My experience is that the rest of lowsec is pretty dead by comparison, aside from pirates interested only in ganking solo targets with vastly superior firepower.

Could also be *when* you were trying. Thirsty Thrasher Thursday is a thing.

freighter a load of ships to a FW border system and give it another go, if your only experience is stabbed farmer alts running away then you definitely did not give it enough of a chance.

Curse is pretty good and getting better. Look for small gangs of Russians around H-ADOC.

Sit on a hot spot cloacked. After you see someones fight - decloak, burn at 10 km/s to the fight and kill the scrammed one. Burn away at 10 km/s again before someone scrams you.

What's your implant set to get 10k m/s and still have the cpu/power grid to fit this? I cant seem to find the right combination of fitting/mobility implants to reach 10k m/s and fit this in eft...

alternatively, fit your ship to kill them, then harvest their tears when they realize that 4 WCS can't save them from 3 scrams

Is this the worst Svipul fit ever? Or did dual tanking become good in the last week or so?

dual tanking can work on some hulls. On the breacher it is a thing. But with a MASB, indeed.

Nonetheless, that IS the worst svipul fit ever.
