Learning to solo PvP helps you develop a skillset that any FC will appreciate. You will become competent with using your d-scan, comfortable flying as a +1 skirmish or scout, and have a situational awareness that only comes from ''doing'' PvP.

T2 frigates are also excellent for solo pvp. Though the hulls are quite a bit more expensive, assault ships and combat interceptors do remarkably well in solo and small gang PvP. The combat interceptors have the added benefit of a 9au warpspeed, which means moving across and throughout systems is a lot quicker.
 
Once you've chosen which hull you'll be using for PvP, you obviously need to fit it. Afterburners and active tanks reign supreme, in the authors estimation, for a few reasons. Afterburners do not make your signature radius bloom, nor do they become deactivated by warp scramblers. If you're flying a frigate, you'll usually being fighting inside scram range, and the extra speed that an afterburner offers is very welc
