Well, certainly they are great for tiny (2-4 tengus) corps/alt armies for bearing... but what I was getting at is that is: Could they be tweaked to make them interesting for a broader range of corps/players? As to C5's being full... that is just silly. I'd say maybe 50-60% of C5's are utilized?

As a broader question there are certain wspace systems as a whole that just don't makes sense for corporations to be in (not that you won't find the occasional corp in one). As a result, these systems types are often devoid of players. What tweaks could be made to make things better?

Eg. What is the point of a C6 or C5 w/C1,C2 statics? They just seem contrary to what wh's are about... C6's offer good anom regen, so you will find corps in them just to run the sites... And before you say well, if somebody is on at an odd tz they could run the sites in the C1... well if you can run sites in a C6... I'm guessing you are in a BC = which means you can runs sites in a C3?

anyhow back to C4's... they just seem empty (not occupied)... yes, I know that certain bearish activities can be had in them... but could they be made better for the broader population while still maintaining the spot between C5's and C3's?

flame away.Lol



IMO C4's are fine. They fit a nice niche for corps who want to be buried further in W-space but don't want caps. Honestly a C4/C3 is going to be every bit as good for farming as a C2/HS/C3. So a C4 with a decent static can still support a decent sized corp.

Thing is, many of these corps prefer the C2 option for easy access to K-space. I would imagine that is generally the more popular option for most corps. But I am very happy that there is an option like a C4 for those who don't want a C2 with double static, but also don't want to deal with cap escalations and cap fights present in C5+.

I live in a C4. We are very tempted to move up to a C5 to get better ISK. But there is something very quaint about C4's, which has been mentioned a few times now. I will reiterate none-the-less: because there is only one static to worry about, which will never be a K-Space exit. Plus it is very easy to manage with our small Corp. Hell, I could run the entire operation solo if I wanted. Our static is a C2, and 80% of the time the C2 will have a HS exit. It's perfect for us.

From what I have seen so far, the C4 will be best for an industrial Corp, in my opinion. I wouldn't say T3 production, because the Sleeper sites are not frequent enough (unless you farm the C2, or whatever static you will have). But stick a Rorq in there and you will be golden because Grav sites are quite common. Add some shipyards in there and just go nuts!

From my experience you don't tend to get to live in C6s just to run sites, due to the relative small number of them you tend to run into a certain select group of alliances fairly frequently who will give you a very warm welcome to C6 space. I know of several corps who haven't made it 2 weeks in a C6.

I meant C6 with low end statics. I mean what 'pvp' corp would want a C6 with a C1 static?
