 Why would you try to play a game solo when it is clearly geared otherwise? And then blame the game...
Join a squad and use a mic so you can be actually helpful. There are plenty of solo roles any squad could use and there would be little to no difference on your end, except for helping others make WP and orbitals. Chances are they'll do the same for you for some strange reason.
If you just can't be bothered to talk to people, well...then don't. Call out scouts though plz.
EDIT:

Good ****! Since numbers are so important to you, why wouldn't you want to double or triple them with support?

Are you joking? I recommend a little humility, damn.
If you are so good, then YOU give out orders. Maybe help your fellows to achieve your level.
Also, I promise you that you aren't as good as you think. If only you could understand the irony in accusing others of "idiocy" while you refuse to even join a squad in FW.

Press Select or go to Social Chat. Each tab is a channel, you have Local, Corporation, and Squad as defaults. You can create any channel you like if you go down to the Add/Join tab. If you enter a name that has not been taken, it becomes a new channel. You can invite people in your Contacts by selecting the channel's tab and going down to Invite Player. To join a channel that already exists, simply spell it correctly and it will add it permanently as a tab.
You may type to chat to people by hitting [X]. To speak like a human being select the [Channel Name] tap Activate Voice. You may speak in any channel, in or out of game. You may activate voice in any channel, although few people use Local. In Factional Warfare almost everyone is using voice in the respective racial channel so as to communicate with multiple squads at once. If you like you can use push to talk to "walkie talkie" or just free conversation by toggling "Push to Talk" in the top right corner of the chat or in the settings. The button is LEFT [<--] on the D-pad.
Since you prefer Gallente Factional, join the channel Lucent Echelon as suggested by others. And activate voice!
Important: If you see no players in the channel, the channel might be too full (it contains Eve players too). There are dead channels, however, and make sure you didn't create a slightly misspelled version of the channel you were trying to join. Try pinging in by typing "x" or "LFS" (looking for squad). Or anything really, you are almost certain to get picked up.

Does it mean that I am heard only when I speak, and not when I'm silent, even when mic is active?
It better not be some button I'll have to press constantly.
I am fairly sure it works anywhere save for a few loading screens. You just hold down the left [<--] D-pad button and talk at the same time. When you let go, you are effectively muted, hence the "walkie talkie". I sometimes prefer it when I have good squad leaders (they will have free voice on and you don't want to talk over them), or people who are specifically coordinating like pilots or logis, since I tend to ramble or yell at my screen. I think it is just good practice. This should be what corps train their scrubs to do...or just contain themselves I suppose.
Naturally you can't quite talk during a firefight unless you are in cover since you can't move.

I also think that it is kind of pathetic that when I ask people what strategy they have for Factional Warfare the only response I receive is to join a squad. I don't see how joining a squad is a strategy; what the squad does in the match is what I see as a strategy.
You are thinking of tactics. There's a lot of those too, but unless its a really good game most people don't try THAT hard. I mean, if you are a logi, put down some uplinks, support your squad etc. If you feel like killing some then do it I guess...then cap the points and win the game.
There are a lot of viable tactics in this game for different situations so I'm not sure what to list to win a FW game.
Strategy is overall plan. You know, like organize people into squads...
