EVE General Discussion

So I have a few billion pocketed away from market trading and farming low sec 5/10's and other good PLEX's and I came up with an idea. I would like to try be a null sec hobo. I have 2 accounts and 4 Chars.

1. PVP Char
2. Orca Char booster
3. Main Char (scout, market, leadership, PVP & PVE)
4. Low skill scout char

My plan is to scout through WH's till I find a branch to deep null sec, I don't care where. I will move my Orca into a null pocket and base out of their while running null sec explorations. I will carry a couple of small POS in the Orca so that I can spring up fittings ect when it's safe to do so.

My ambition is to not have to rely on anyone except myself and too be honest I'm in it for the hobo aspect ie being an inconvience and annoying to the locals, I will aim to kill a few local bears if given the chance. Has anyone tried this before? What should I be aware of? I've got null sec experience so I'm not looking for bubbles ect, I'm more interested in learning about WH's and gypsy'n out of an orca.

I'm fussed about getting burned it's just for the LOLZ and too see how long I'll last.

Dude, Join a null sec indy corp or something, you'll be ding the same thing, but without the risk of being blown to bits.
Null-sec people tend to not allow non-blue's in their systems.

The best way to Squat (you're describing a squatter, not a hobo :) ) is with a Carrier (with a cloak) as a mobile "base". That way you can jump back to lose sec to resupply and transport loot. I do it with 4 characters, only 2 of which needs to be online at a time.

-Carrier as base
-another char to scout/probe once you find a nice spot
-a character with a pve capable ship
-a cyno character in low sec.

So i send in my scout in a Recon ship (nano'd up so I can survive bublle camps) to scout out a nice quiet spot. When I find it, I jump in the carrier, then the scout fleet warps te carrier to a safe spot i made before hand and cloak the carrier and log off the scout, and log on my battleship pilot on the same account (who moved to the system in a tech 3 cloaky nullified ship, I use a tech3 because the BS pilot has some pricey implants).

Then I go to the carrier, get the battleship, store the Tech3 and go to ratting. I either leave the carrier cloaked or log it off. If i get an or officer spawn I log in the scout (for extra dps, I keep a BC in the carrier for it) and the carrier to assign fighters. If I get an escalation the scout jump in the tech 3 to scout and provide support etc etc etc.

It's plenty fun and I've lost oly 2 recon ships doing it while makking loads of isk. I've even done anomalies in upgraded systems when the owners were asleep/offline lol.

We are planning a similar lifestyle and call ourselves space nomads. Me and my bro and a few friends will be doing this.

We will be using a cloaky carrier, and a rorqual. Our plan is to jump from low sec to null sec then find C5 WH to get into wormhole space. One in a C5 we will move from WH to WH living the nomadic life.

Make sure you constantly beg for isk aswell, otherwise you're not getting the authentic hobo experience.

Hmm this is going to be fun I will put the plan into action today if I get the chance.
