Difference between C5 and C6?

So what are the main difference between a C5 and a C6?

How are the money making opportunities in either? I assume a C6 would always make more money? Is that always the case though?

Which class is more interesting to live in? I tried to google but I didn't find that much information about the topic, thanks.

Yeah but what are the differences in the ISK made?

if your only concern is how much isk you can make might i recommend you avoid c6's... Although if you care to make your way there I look forward to making your acquaintance.

c6 local effects are stronger, anoms respawn more quickly and thus make more money.

also because there are a lot less c6 you will be noticed much much faster, and if you are considered a farming corp or alliance you will also be evicted much much faster.

makes no difference isk wise if youre doing capital escalations.
if youre not escalating, C6 sites are worth more than double C5 sites.

No I'm looking for PvP also. But my primary concern is to plex 2 accounts first and then have a boatload of isk for faction shiny PVP ships (or maybe just a billion T1 ships..)

I've heard that wormholes are the best place to make a ton of money and to find some of the best PvP in the game...
I also hear the PvE is pretty fun too.

So I was wondering whether I want to get into a C5 or a C6 to fund this style of gameplay.


Thanks so far mates. But what do you think the best wormhole for me is? Thanks Smile

well, you want to join a corp, not go solo.
thus the class of wh is going to be determined by which corp you pick.

So you reckon there is not too big of a difference between C5 and C6 to matter?

Besides the fact of C6 getting more attention?

C6 sites have several normal waves that are equivalent to the capital escalation waves on their own and also C6 sites tend to respawn back to your WH a bit quicker than in a C5 (apparently).

Also theres a lot less C6 systems than C5 systems so anyone fancing taking a pop at you can crash back to your WH relatively feasibly whereas crashing to find a specific C5 is an order of magnitude more effort and time.

Isk wise there is not much difference. Your static determines what Gas your likely to find more then your actual hole.

The C6 sites are worth more if you complete them, but I highly doubt the majority do more then the cap escalation waves so really no difference there.

PVP wise they have some differences. It depends very much on your static hole.

If you static C6 then your fights will probably be against some of the larger C6 alliances and also a lot of 0,0 work.

If you static lower then you will be visited by the larger groups but your ventures out will be down the classes for more gank scenarios then actual fights (depending upon your unit's size of course)

Generally the higher class you go the more pvp orientated groups become. As has already been remarked upon if your outfit is pve orientated and in larger class you will be noticed and evicted much faster.

this is just cos percentage wise, more C6 sites get run cos there are less empty C6 holes tbh

For some perspective there are only about 106 iirc C6s but there are upwards of 500 C5s so you are much less likely to get traffic.

the waves in c6 anoms are nowhere near as strong as capital escalations. the regular advanced battleships can pretty much be volley'd and with a capital fleet anything sub bs is rather irrelevant

A few sites have a normal wave consisting of this as part of their normal spawns:

Quote:

10x Frigates (Emergent Sentinel) [scram, web]
8x Cruisers (Awakened Sentinel) [web]
6x Battleships (Sleepless Guardian) [scram, web, nos]


Some of the other waves while granted the BS have lower dps and EHP than guardians with the combination of weight of BS and the extra cruiers and frigs potentially as dangerous (depending on your fleet composition) and almost as much ISK value as a normal 6 guardian escalation wave - which you don't get from normal waves in a C5.

Dreadnoughts should 2-3 shot a normal wave's battleships. Escalation battleships take considerably more punishment before they go down.
