Anyone tried soloing them ?

Im doing industry stuff, lvl4 or ratting in nullsec, but once in a while I wanted to do some scout incursion sites to change and for sh** and giggles (mostly that actually).

Anyone tried and finished a site with a Golem ? I dont have any trouble to tank and I use bastion to counter the ecm, but even using rapid heavies, double painter and missile guidance computer II with precision script, I have quite some difficulties killing logi cruisers, I avoided when i tried sites with more than two of them at a time.

I have good missile skills, one faction target painter for now,and I can tank and demolish every lvl 4 mission I got.

EDIT : I could use a second (alpha) account dual screened, but for now I have no idea which duo of ship could go well

I assume someone has, but considering you need 3 players to get the payout it isn't a much pursued activity. Probably best to use 5 to get the payout and complete them as fast as possible. and at that point might as well grab a few more people and do vanguards.

It would have been something to do while waiting for my minmatar cruiser skill to V and logistic from III to V, so I can go fly logi as both scimatar and basilisk in incursion, but yes that's definitely something I try just because I want to do it, I have plenty of way to make isk for now.

I have to admit though I tried again today and got put into structure while in bastion mode, because I didn't realise how much of a threat were both a fighter (Lirsautton Parichaya) and a heavy dps cruiser (Romi Thalamus). I'll try another time with a logi as my second character.

Scout sites are ****.
Too much jamming too much HP to bash through and Logis repping the Sansha.
Might as well try to solo vanguards -_-

Well since my staging system is actually 1 jump away from the staging system of an incursion, I'm forced for now to deal with these sansha lol.

I tried again with a better fit for my marauder, the tank is way more capable and the dps enough.

My major problem actually is from the randomness of the waves, sometimes it's very easy to do and sometimes 3 logistics cruisers appear and I basically have to give up.

I could try vanguard, but above scout sites the sansha will point me so not that much interested to lose 1.5B to a from the start silly idea. I'll try on Singularity first, one vanguard site seems actually not too hard.

P.S.: about running them like normal people do, I have to finish training either logistric cruiser V (right now repair drones to V) or Amarr BS to IV and tech 2 large laser turret, so I'm not really ready for now except with a Rokh, but the dps is low with them in incursions.
