Wormholes

E-UNI's work fair sub-forum has quite a few WH corps recruiting, from there you can see what ships are preferred. There should also be links for recommended skill plans etc.
There's quite a decent bit of info in their WH sub-forum.

Specialize.

Fly 2-3 ships as well as you can. (In terms of PvP)

Here are some useful specializations:

Armour or shield logistics ( Pairing ships require 2 duh!)
ECM Bird (Tengus, Falcons, ) You will be primaried
DPS T3 or Commandship (Need CSV to match a T3V in terms of DPS/Range)
Neuting battleship (rokh, bhaalgorn, abaddon)

How does specializing help?

1) Focused implants
2) Player skill. Noob --> Experienced --> PvP Risk Management God
3) Bests skills produces best results.

With small numbers in W-space, try not to pick ships that have a smaller force multiplier. Try to think about what this means over time.

Why a wormhole?

Do you live in a WH?

If you do then you shouldn't need to ask

for sure. a Cheetah is a great ship and you will definitely need it to live in a wormhole. Minmatar ships are great and I wouldn't worry about cross training anytime soon. Hurricane is good for a c2, eventually train for a Loki. Scimitar wouldn't be a bad ship either if the corp runs shield fleets. Best of luck, I hope you make the jump into wormhole space

Do you want the idealist's ships you should train for or the professional's ships you should train for?

The professional, being objective, knows that a c2 -> c4 is ideal for the Tengu where farming is concerned. With as few as 2 tengus you can make 200mil/hour/pilot once you get your sleeper farming tweaked.

The idealist, being partial, knows that his/her race's ships might not be the best but, if they just stick with it spending many months training all those level 5 skills going for the bigger and bigger guns, one day it'll all be worth it. But, it won't. I did this with Gallente, don't do it with Minmatar. Sure, it'll make you a badass Minmatar pilot like I'm a badass Gallente pilot but, it doesn't really do anything for my wallet unless I can get 2 other players for a remote rep Domi circle jerk. But then, they have crap drone skills making it not even worth it.

See, with average skill tengu pilots you can make that 200mil/hour. But for all the other races' ships you'll need very high skills plus additional pilots to make it work for you. It'll never be a situation where you can log on and just go farm. No you'll have to log on, wait for enough of the right kind of people to be on, herd them like cats and finally after 2 - 3hours of wasted time, go farm.

I have 3 toons. 2 are tengu pilots. 1 is a dedicated prober/industrialist. Assuming I don't have to roll holes to find c4 sites to farm it takes me about 30 minutes of setup, checking the system for open wh's and getting the lay of the land before committing myself to the voids of the C4. Then I'm farming until 1) I've had enough or 2) someone rains on my parade and I have to bolt.

The advantage is I am able to fly caldari fairly skillfully and Gallente. It's just not a bad idea to cross train racials. You get more advantage out of it.

I have good results in Class 1-2 WH's in simple T2 fitted Minmatar T1 BC's with some buddies. Artillery works great, a sensor booster with range scripts also works wonders, as you close in you can change to a sig radius script. I find the most important ability to live anywhere is the one to refit at a POS, so get to know how POSes work. There is no reason to crosstrain if you would rather not, I find that the only reason I did was to 'know my enemy' and actually get some experience in other race's ships. Minmatar ships may be 'skill-intensive' and 'require effort' to fly efficiently, I find them more fun then the typical F1 farming ships. Every time Eve reminds me it's real and I get into a fight I didn't really ask for, I'd rather be in a Minmatar ship and perform well then being in a Drake and having an optimal efficiency potential.

That's strange you say that. The nerf added only one minute per anom to my 2 tengus farming C4's. Don't know what you're crew is doing but, seriously, it's a non-issue. Either your skills aren't where they need to be or, dare I ask, do you even fly a tengu? Even with drastically reduced range the fit is flexible enough to fit an AB. After the webbing frigates are done just burn 10KM to get in range of your next target. It's not that hard.

It all comes down to this: do you intend to just farm and carebar in wspace? or do you intend to become a true wh-dweller with all its pvp pleasures?

dont suck at eve, and youll do fine.
