I've been able to solo pretty much everything to this point, including the tier 4 missions up to 4 4 3 3. I got a decent loadout and I'm able to do blacksun missions easily.
I have a heavy x-wing.
However, it's just so friggin slow and boring.
What is the best way to get SC XP at 4 4 3 3?

duty missions =0...you'll be happy when you get a black sun ace helmet lol
really tho...if i remember right it took a little more than 2 full duty missions for each box....somewhere around 2.5-3 hrs for a box....yes its slow...but like i said get that BSA and you'll never regret that time =)
and think about all that loot n creds you'll be getting =) the best part lol

Yeah its slow the first time around. Wait til you pick up a new squad, you'll get a Ace bonus. For the 3X you'll need one of each faction first.

Yeah, Blacksun duty mission from Lok hotel. A lot of Tier4 (sometimes waves of upto 9 Tier4!).
I did one yesterday, didn't check how many exp I got must have been a lot, but I'm Ace now so I didn't really care.
I didn't get the helmet 
but Ireceived 360K, including mission payout, credit chip, and loot (I kept a few nice loot for me though), so that's not too bad either.

Was hoping there was some good spots like the ones tier 4 that some people find that are in groups but attack one at a time or somethin, heh.
I'm in kessell right now soloing everything I find. Going pretty fast on xp now 
All drops are level 9 so far...

Most of the time for grinding I used to kill the tier 4 corsec ships about 2km from the Dathomir Space Station.. group of 3, quite quick respawn and they watch you kill their friends until it's their turn to die.
But then again, my favourite is tier 5 rebel ships in kessel. All except the a-wing (tend to ignore these) are easy prey.. even as a tier 3 pilot..

Yeah, was kind of hoping for some tier5 though, not tier4....though I did find some in kessel...but the groups are pretty small.
The occasional tier5 gunship kills are great, though!

True, but i find /target (tie/rebel/imperial) works nicely and has a huge range [about 5k] (better than using TAB for targetting)..
If i'm feeling brave/stupid/suicidal I do go up against the gunboats, but it takes me along time to kill one as a tier 3 pilot.. but yes, the xp is nice

Go to the Chiss poacher POI in Kashyyk space. 4 or 5 tier 4s, only attack if you do. I used my adv xwing and could take them out in seconds. Not sure how long it took for 1mill, but under 2 hours.

Linear Miasma in endor space, lots of tier 4 x-wings and y-wings (scientist bodyguards) that dont agro unless you shoot first.

I'd have to agree with the earlier posts about Black sun Duty Missions. Complete a mission = 1mil xp and some change. Plus its pretty non-stop the linear pirasma gets extremely booring and if theres even one more person there it just slows the flow. The loot is decent and constant the enviroment is target rich, and the ships make for decent practic. Oh and plenty of loot

I did the Black Sun duty from Arkon at Nym's. With inspiration buff, I made around 700k experience killing up to the 4th command wing (before getting too bored to go on). I did this for each box and that was the extent of my "grinding." 4 times doing this isn't so bad at a all. Never did get a helmet. :/

I went to nyms hotel but only found a rebel pilot trainer that didnt wanna talk to me. What if you are imperial like me? How do you take black sun missions?
