Wormholes

I have four accounts and have been looking for ways to maximize my profit when I need to PvE, and I started looking into wormholes. First off, I have no experience with them. I know the basics; no stargates, no local, always have a prober, etc, etc. But past that, not much. That said, I am thinking of a set up with three RR (or spider tanking I think it's called) Tengus. Then I have a character who can fly a cheetah and a Noctis. To start off with, if someone could post fits that could work for the Tengu, that would be great. Also, I'm looking to work in a C4 wormhole eventually; but with start in C3's to get the hang of it, practice, etc.

Basically, I just have some questions I'd like some help with, so I'll get right to it:

1) As I said above, if you could post a RR Tengu fit it would be very helpful.
2) Is a set up like this going to require a POS? As in, will I "pick" a C4, set up my pos, and use it as home for my Tengus? Or, will this be a roaming around thing where I hop from C4 to C4 in search of sites?
3) How exactly do connections to C3's and C4's function? As in, what connects to them, how do you get into them?
4) How do "sites" function? Is it, within a wormhole there are sites you scan down, you kill the sleepers there, and move onto the next site...and then the first site respawns after a while?
5) With well fitted and skilled RR tengus, what kind of isk/hr am I looking at with and without salvaging?
6) And how sustainable is that rate? As long as I can play it? Or only a certain amount of hours?
7) I know Wormholes are dangerous; but how much traffic am I looking at for a C4? Are they frequently hunted through?

If there's anything else you think I should know, no comment will be looked down upon. Assume I'm an idiot who doesn't know anything (because I am and I don't).

Get in a WH corp. Learn the way the wormhole.

No salvage no isk.

He'd be ok in C1-4 aslong as he has a couple of chars with good skills in the POS stuff including starbase defence and setup a large dickstar/deathstar - he'd have to really annoy someone, leave lots of bling floating about POS or get really unlucky for someone to bash that.

Trying to live out an orca in some kinda transient style without a lot of WH experience is gonna end in costly loss mails more likely than not but I definitely would reccomend your other suggestion that he got some experience "WH Diving" from empire with a battlecruiser or 2 i.e. drakes in C1-3s - I'd prolly use a cheapy salvager like a catalyst at first tho a stabbed noctis will usually escape.

Join a well established wormhole corp/alliance so you've a good environment to learn in.

Fly Covert Ops and Drakes for a couple months before bothering with Tengus.

Learn how to scan and probe and train all your astrometric skills to a minimum of 4.

No isk, no good.

I am intrigued to find ppl saying how good C4s are. I found C4 life quite disappointing, and my cashflow was way better in a decent C3. My efforts have all been small-gang (self and a few alts) residential stuff.

There is also some merit to other suggestions already made.

1. Joining an established w-space gang offers some learning curve benefits and the up-front ability to take-on tougher sites in higher class w-systems.
2. Starting out easy, like the use-drakes poster suggests, also has merit. There's a halluva lot to learn about surviving and profiting in w-space and swapping from tengu back 'down' to drakes is gonna reduce the failmode gank cost by 2+ billion isk. Yes, you will be able to afford such a loss after a wee while in w-space but, if youre anything like me, you will prolly prefer to avoid it happening.

I multibox w-space sites and find myself having difficulty with >2 active guys at a time. There's a lot of system surveillance you also need to keep up with so it's very different (IMO) to multiboxing missions.

My fleet was 2 DPS toons (2 x tengu or tengu + snake), one booster sitting in POS (7-link seige-implanted vulture), and one scout with a deep space probe deployed (loki). This fleet clears everything up to, and including C5s, relatively quickly. I've never tried C6s or cap escalations. Of course more ships = quicker clearing. I'd clear a series of sites and then swap one of the DPS guys to noctis and do a round of salvaging / looting.

I kept coming back to C3 systems as I found them best for solo / small-gang isk flow.

Good luck.

Yeah C4s are a bit of a half-way house - for someone with a couple of RR tengus they are way better income than a C3 but nothing like a C5 with a decent fleet, for someone thats only got 1 main account then they are way too slow and C3s are better for time/isk and if you've got a few friends then a C4 pales compared to what you can make in a C5 with a good fleet. The main draw for someone multi-boxing is that compared to a C3 or C5 your chances of getting ganked are considerably lower - tho still relatively risky compared to other parts of eve.
