Warfare & Tactics

I live in a c2 with a static c4 and a static highsec. There is another tower in here that belongs to some pretty non active players. Or so it would seem for the past few months. Last night when i logged on I noticed there had been 20 + jumps in the last our in/out of our wh. Looks like I'm not running any sites tonight. So i jump in a buzzard and fly around to find no one at their pos or the around the exits. I do this for a while and i see a cov-ops pop up on d-scan for a second and then is gone. A minute later he is back and then gone again. Looks like i missed a lot of something going on so I log off.

Now this morning when I log on to check things out quickly before I head to work I notice a Thanatos and a Rorqual on scan. WTF is this? Carriers get built in wh all the time I know but a Rorqual? Is this common? Obviously the other corp in here has been busy or just hasn't brought out these ships in a while. I had no time to check things out further so I can't wait to get back in the game and see what's going on.

Until then I have a couple decisions to make. My corp is small ( and getting smaller) and I am left to keep our pos up and running all by myself. Our CEO has let his accounts expire with no time frame for coming back. Keeping a death star alive is a lot of work for 1 guy who doesn't play often enough anyways. Should I get my stuff out and leave the pos to fend for itself? Or take everything I can ( there's not a lot really- 500 mil in ships maybe) and screw everyone? I've been told by some friends in game to take down the pos and find somewhere else to live. Since the biggest hauling ship I can fly is a Badger this isn't going to happen anytime soon.

I always expect to be attacked even when its quiet in our wh. So while I write this I think i have decided what to do. I will take everything I own out except a few sb's and a Drake (to at least do the c2 sites) and do my usual until we are attacked. Then I hope to have some fun when we are attacked and **** some of them off a bit.

I can't afford to hire any help or mercs so I am going it alone. Any tips or advice on what else i can do is greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to going down in flames. Living in a wh makes you paranoid so I welcome the excitement for a change. Sorry for the long post

Pull out everything asap, and start a new corp yourself with what few active mates you've had.
Then find a new hole that does not have a static highsec and set up shop again.

Take everything you can, leave nothing behind.

If you are scared of bad rep, then share with any active chill dude, but screw any people you dislike.

Thanks for all responses. We have tried contacting them but got no answer. But that was a while ago so maybe I'll try again. We definitely want allies not enemies.

I had a brief chat with our CEO ( he's a friend of mine in RL) and he still won't commit to coming back anytime soon so he told me to basically do whatever i want because i paid for it too. OK then. I will prepare for the worst and remove everything of significant value (again there isn't much) and train up pos gunnery and hope I get it to level 4 before we are attacked. If we don't get attacked then that just gives me more time to recruit members or GTFO.

I just hate paying for pos fuel all by myself and recruiting members is a pain in the ass. Starting a new corp would be a solo effort I think. The one other guy (who's online from time to time) and his alts would probably come with me but I feel the same thing would happen over again.

Another question I have is about the Rorqual; is it that useful in a c2 to build one there?

My opinion:
Do watcha want 'cause a pirate is free; you COULD BE a pirate.

Expanded:
My advice is to lurk around their base for a few days, see if the rorq or thanny is left undocked at any point, and keep a general eye on things WHILE you evacuate your assets. If you see any bastards flying around the enemy POS, pop them and pod them. This'll lock them out of the wormhole indefinitely if you kill them, meaning that you can just wait for their POS shields to drop and take whatever's inside. Once you've got all your assets out, sell them, take the cash, buy yourself some rum and sing piratical songs until their shields drop. Grab the rorqual, let the enemy in and self-destruct their caps in front of them.

Just some practical advice from the world's lamest wormhole pirate.

Remove your assets sell and split what you don't need with the corpies that are cool.

Join a corp or set one up that suits your needs and start again. Treat it like an opportunity to do things new and fresh with a chance to meet a new bunch of people. It's eve of course, there is a high chance you or they will **** each other over but have a laugh doing it and nothing can go wrong.

IMO, a C2 static Hsec/C4 is one of the most sought after WHs in EVE. In addition, the corp with the carrier may have enemies that would be willing to pay for the entrance to their WH. Take some time looking on Battle Clinic to try and find any corps that fight with your neighbors on a regular basis. You may be able to get payed by some corp looking to bring them some hurt for the intel, and then once they are gone you can sell the WH for a few billion isk to another WH corp.

Or you might just find one corp willing to evict the current locals on their own, but you will not be able to get them to pay very much for the hole if this is the case. If you want a list of WH corps that are actively looking for this type of WH and are willing to smash a POS to get it, send me an EVE mail in game. I can get you in touch with any of the WH Alliances in the Worm Hole Coalition.

Never miss a chance for profit!

u dont need a capital assembly or maint arrey for them caps its WH space so no sov they can be built and stored in XXlA and sma's there not that big :) and also best bet GTFO and regroup, as thye most likely been watching u also and know ure thin on the ground and onyl one really active

I suggest you remove them from the wh and get a few capital km's while your at it, if you cant manage this with corp/friends you know check out Narwhals Ate My Duck, they are a merc alliance and deal with stuff like this, they'll be removed from your system in 48hrs flat.
