If anyone depends soley on their POS to fend off an invasion fleet, they won't have that POS for long. It's why I have never understood how a 5 man corp (or any corp with a handful of people) expects to survive in wh space.


By not being aggressive to other wh owners Blink My wh toons corp has 12 members, only 2 ever bother with the wh's. I was solo in a C3 for over a year, dual boxing. Only once did anyone attempt to take over our C3 wh, and they were noobs, well old players, just no clue about wh's, and a dread shooting thier pos with a geddon shooting their 5 pilots in BC's managed to chase them away. Guess I was lucky. But I don't shoot haulers passing through, things like that. Doesn't stop me being ganked though Sad


You dont shoot haulers? Shocked


you have to be careful just who's haulers and gas miners you shoot, one of our guys lost a gas miner got angry and 10 mins later was back in there system seiging it with his dread, it went bad from there, needless to say i think they wished they never killed his gas miner.

Your advice is to not shoot at people in WH space for fear that we might get shot back?

I'm pretty horrified that came from an AHARM pilot.

Son, I am disappoint

Don't kick over an ant hill if you don't like ants.

...you really shouldn't be in wormhole space though if you're not constantly prepared for invasion...

Sorry I don't completely buy this argument. Maybe if you are adverse to getting ROFLStomped.

My last time living in a WH I never would have been able to defend myself without calling in some big favors. But I knew that going in. And WH's are lucrative enough that I made back my investment in POS and ships in a matter of weeks. So 6 months later when I was planning on moving out, if someone had decided to burn me down I would have been fine with it. Sure I would have lost a fair number of assets. But those things paid for themselves many times over already so I would have still come out way ahead vs not having been in a WH.

I guess the key is you need to be prepared. But not necessarily in terms of defense.

If a cool dude gets caught while gas mining he leaves in silence and asks himself why he screwed up. A lame dude calls for his 50 friends and invades the attacker.

Unfortunately you can never know if it's a cool dude or a lame dude that you face, so I guess the guys from the large alliances miss quite a lot of interesting fights because many of their potential opponents do not dare win against them...

Have enjoyed all the different yet similar approaches to POS defense....

The beauty of the game is there is no absolute right way...just a bunch of very good and sometimes similar solutions to a problem

Gotta love EVE….
