WH POS and fits for soloing with multiple accounts.

If I had 3-4 different account and was looking to move into a C3 solo, what would be a good setup?

Right now I'm looking at using 2 RR Domis and a medium/large tower set up in a dickstar format. I'm thinking that the third account would be a covops frigate sitting at one of the WHs to listen for any incoming.

Are there any fits that are considered to be better for multi client boxing? Drakes seem to be an easy choice, but in 2 months it sounds like those are going to be gimped. Are RR Domis a good way to go?

Here are the primary questions I'm hoping for some advice on.

1. Is a medium tower sufficient to live in WH space in a C3 and avoid being an easy target of opportunity? Would it just be better to live out of a cloaked Orca?

2. Are RR Domis a good fit for multi boxing? Any other better fits out there?

3. Is there a substantial improvement in speed/efficiency by using 4 accounts vs 3 (with plex and the need to shift between clients being the cost incurred by moving to 4 accounts).

One domi, tengu, salvage boat, possible cov ops for scout instead of the tengu. (waiting on the other side wit ha bubble etc)

I suppose a cloaked orca would be better for WH ops than say low sec exploration. (orca has less logi involved than a tower)

That or one cloaky bubble proof scout tengu, one ham combat, and a domi..

Your plan looks solid, two RR sentry Domis is a tried and tested solution for C3 sites. They have a care-free neut-proof permatank and have means of dealing with both battleships and frigs with ease. You only need to swap drones and target stuff, you don't have to worry about triggers in C3 anoms or move around, so might work well for dual-boxing too (I've only flown with other pilot(s).)

Large tower is always better, but if someone really wants you out, it just makes the process a bit slower and laborous, doesn't prevent it.

I'd maybe stick with triple-boxing, both for practical reasons (controlling three ships in an exposed environment is already a bit above the comfort level) and for financial reasons, C3 sites don't yield so much isk that you would make big profits when considering the POS upkeep cost and 4 accounts.

I've done it a number of ways..

I've used an Orca to hold my POS and a couple of ships
Drakes for DPS .
Viator for in and outs.
Buzzard for the daily scan.
Noctus for the clean up.

Pilots that are cross trained are where its at. Orca can be refit with Command mods if you aren't using all pilots for DPS.

D-scan often and make sure your squad leader is on the field in case you need to bug out and get back to the POS

If someone wants you out of the Hole it doesnt matter what size the POS. But it would be silly to not arm it under the current fuel requirements. A medium will keep the pressure off the wallet and house your ships.

I always was ready to pack up and bug out if the hole dried up or got too busy for too long.
