The first few posters summed up the real issue, the rest is just downstream symptoms.
The real question is what should solo players expect to be able to accomplish?
Maybe just play a game, have fun and relax after a long day, say hi to friends and enjoy the space scenery or whatever. I mean, correct me if I’m wrong but EVE Online is a game, right?
Depending on their patience and ability to handle harsh and lonely moments, it can range from nothing to a lot.

Depends how many alt accounts they have, and how much time they have.
Knowledge of game mechanics (PvP mechanics in particular) is the first road block most solo pilots run into. I think multiboxing at least 1 other account is mandatory for most professions if for nothing more than an interceptor scout. That’s not really a big deal though if you’re knowledgeable about the mechanics and choosing your activities based on what is realistic. Which leads me to my next point.
The second roadblock that solo pilots run into is that they have unrealistic expectations of what content is available to them. It’s not as simple as “I like industry so I’ll do that” if you’re a solo player. Is there demand for industry? What are the risks and can I feasibly navigate those risks as a solo player? Would it afford your sub(s) even if you’re paying real money for game time (this is a good benchmark for deciding if an activity is worth it)? If the answer to any of these questions is no then you either need to do more research to turn that ‘no’ into a ‘yes’ or you need to find an activity better suited to solo play.
A mobile debot. Maybe two.
Yeah, that was a right bastard, trained up for black ops battleships and tried to find a cyno to jump to, did not realize I needed a cyno alt. That seriously chaffed, definitely a facepalm moment lmao.

As far as i know POS towers still provide safe hideout, fitting, reship and storage and even ore compression if you are lucky and even shield reinforcement timer if clathrated properly. And you can install of yoink them away in 10-30 minutes regardless at any time except when reinforced.
