Wormholes

Scanning ship, scanner alt, CHA, and hopefully something to shoot other people with.

Don't wanna learn that one the hard way :-)

Don't forget POS fuel and strontium. Loads of spare ammo is also handy!

I'll take the J# as well please, and the location of your static exit. Thank you in advance.

More corpmates? Read up on WH planning, POS setup guides, wh effects, learn about the tools for wormholers, and then... Join a wh corp that already exists. Don't try running it solo unless you really have background and are willing to take losses when some people come looking to take out your tower.

I would suggest bringing in a freighter BPC, an XL array, a moon harvesting array and a territorial claim unit so everyone knows you own that wormhole.

I considered that, but he's only going to be in there a couple of weeks, and besides a small tower can't actually online a SMA, CHA and XL array, so when he anchors the XL array you know he's a complete toolbag because it can't ever get onlined profitably.

Good luck with your w-space venture.

I do not buy into the "don't go solo" school of thought. That will be no surprise since most of my w-space life (C2 /C3/C4/C5) has been 'solo' - me, myself, and I. I have lost a heap more of my w-space stuff in a single hisec suicide gank than I have in all the time I spent solo in w-space. No matter what other people will say, I see the likelihood of your POS being bashed as being very very low ... unless you draw undue attention to yourself. The likelihood of you, yourself or alts, being ganked is also fairly low if you're just careful and sensible.

Yes, you must be willing to accept the losses ... and no matter how careful you are there will probably be some ... but please do not be putoff solo w-space by the naysayers. It's entirely do-able and you can make a fair bit of isk relatively safely. Most of my eve-life now has been in w-space and I think my total w-space ship losses, including all my alts, is about a half dozen ... with only one expensive loss (my beautiful loki).

As for scanner alt(s) ... absolutely!! I always had a main scanner alt in my home system and 2 or 3 backup scanners. The main scanner had very high skills and the backups were at lower skill levels ... with skillbooks in their cargo holds in some cases. These guys were my insurance policy, in case my main scanner got podded out without having BMs for our current access route to empire space. It never happened, but I'm still glad I did it and will do exactly the same when I next setup a w-space home.

A decent scanner alt does not take an awful lot of training. I've now trained a bundle to 5-4-4-4 and decent support skills for their covops frigate ... it's only a couple months training time for each. My early-days scanner alts flew T1 frigates with cloaking device and other gear that I fitted and they could not yet use. They carried the scanning skillbooks in their cargoholds and lived their lives logged-off in my home system. My plan, if needed, was to train them up in-system should the worst happen ... and to use them to keep the POS fuelled while this happened.

If you are not gonna mine, and it's just you solo for a week or two, then you could easily get by with just a GSC floating inside the force field. Sleeper loot from sites is small, and you won't need storage for extra POS fuel.

You're doin it wrong.
