Solo lobby?

No, they specifically said solo lobbies would come later. First, Strike team lobbies.

Private Play (and Solo)

Starting next week, with 2 or more players in the strike team, players will be able to opt into playing privately via the mission board. This will prevent players who are not friends of a strike team member from hot joining the squad during a mission in progress.

If the squad is all disconnected and a player is left alone when the reservation time expires, the mission will become public.

As for Solo Mode, we are actively working on it. While it technically could work now, we are not happy with its state yet, and we want to ensure the solo experience lives up to your expectations. Right now, it does not, and we would do the game a disservice by implementing it.

My guess is that they aren’t happy with the bots and they aren’t suitable for solo.
I wish I could do solo now though with stupid or undergeared bots or even completely solo to do some challenges, but regardless. It was never said it would come this patch.
