Just wondering if there are any tiers that can be soloed all the way through?

All of them can be soloed in theory. But thats no fun if you ask me.

Ive heard that some are impossible to solo, that you get gated unless you have others helping

Depends on what faction and what squadron your doing...so far i've Mastered 5 different squadrons and working on my 6th, I've doneall 3 Rebel squadrons, Smugglers Alliance(Privateer), and Inquistion(Imperial)....The easiest faction to solo IMHO would be Rebel...I did Havoc and Crimson Phoenix completely solo then went and solo'd the Vette for both of those....i'm currently 3,3,3,2 Black Eplison(Imperial) which I can tell is already harder then Inquistion was...and i've heard that Storm Squadron is harder then that....as far as privateer i've heard from my friends that did them all that Corsec was the easiest...so as far as easiest for each faction i'd choose EASYIEST(Rebel: Crimson Phoenix....Privateer: Corsec....Imperial: Inquistion) Probly HARDEST(Rebel: Vortex....Privateer: RSF...Imperial: Storm Squadron)

I did all of Black Epsilon solo, which had some seriously rough parts to it. The only mission I've been on so far (all of Smuggler's Alliance, Black Epsilon, most of Storm Squadron, some RSF) that seems like it would be near impossible to solo is the RSF tier 4 exit mission, where you have to take down about 10 fighters and two gunboats. I'm just not sure how you'd deal with the firepower; those gunships fly close together, and even pell-mell strafing runs through them might get you shot up in a hurry. It might be soloable, though.. would just have to experiment with various tactics to find out.

I've soloed most of Smuggler's Alliance and Vortex all the way through, and the missions I had company on were for the sake of company, not because I couldn't finish solo.
Using your droid program love, and learning your specials, also learning the sorts of strategies that work in the various mission types. In the higher tiers, each mission is broken into many submissions, paying attention to your Quest messages, and double checking what your quest log says, to make sure you know exactly what you need to do without messing up.

Smuggler's Alliance was pretty easy
Storm Squadron looks pretty damn hard...At 1/2/1/1, I have a mission that involves taking down a multi-gun YT plus his 4-5 escorts...pretty hard for that level (low mass ship + a general lack of great parts makes it very difficult)

Stormsquadron is highly difficult, at least for me. I am on a mission right now where I go into endor and go through like 4 escort missions so far and 1 dock, I am not even done with it yet. On the part I died the freighter I needed to help repair and escort out was stuck in the middle of 5 tier 5 endor ships! I am a 2/2/2/2 imperial pilot. How can I deal with this?!? I can take on any npc fighter no matter the tier 1 on 1, but when you add the extra guy in I get owned. I don't get it how am I supposed to beat this one. Any pointers? It is from the 2nd trainer on Yavin

I got to 4/3/3/3 in CorSec solo and 3/2/2/2 SS solo, 'course I wasn't using flight programs then either 'cause I was ignorant. I am betting with my better knowledge, skills and equip, I will probably be able to solo Inquisition.

Why on earth would you want to do that?

Though in general I agree with you that running space missions in a group is much more fun, going solo does teach you some extremely valuable tactics that are well worth learning.

If RSF is the 'hardest' I don't want to know how boring the others are (as I found RSF "a bit" boring already).
Missions which are a lot easier together with superior firepower and protection for almost all of the campaign made it way too easy.

"Also, Smuggler's Alliance is the only true neutal tree, so both Rebs and Imp NPC ships con yellow."
You are NOT correct. CorSec has the same yellow con of rebels and imps and the same problems with stray fire aggroing both sides' npc's and even bomber strike package ships.
If SA is so 'the only true neutral tree', how come you MUST kill an IMPERIAL vette for your master while CorSec can CHOOSE which side to kill???
Stop the dis-information.
