Warfare & Tactics

Look in the recruitment thread, there are some 0.0 alliances looking for corps to join them.

Run FW missions instead. More isk.

15 men? find a C2 or C4+ and move in, look for a good C2/C3 static. Lots of people live in C2's and C3's, which means that you can generally get pvp, and usually manage it on a decent level. My alliance manages about 5 regularly active pilots in WH space, and we can easilly pull out billions (1 C3 static we raided pulled in 440mil, split between those of us who went out flying). With a static C3, we can pull that several times a day if we so desired. However, when we get fully active, with a dozen or more people on, we can cycle the c3 every hour, and with each new one either run it, cycle it again, or find out its active and see if we can't make the inhabitants go hide in their POS (or if you're lucky/good, kill them).

If you get a C2 with a highsec static, you are guaranteed to get a decent amount of traffic, and you usually can manage to either attack people who are solo or are small gang (like 5 people or so). Another alternative is that you can get something like a lowsec static, and then go out the static exit whenever you want and randomly attack people in lowsec.

Or of course you can do the hole FW thing, as most of these other people have suggested

Three options come to mind with FW being the most obvious. FW provides better income than high sec lvl4's, doesn't require huge amounts of SP and is pretty laid back as a whole. It really encourages corp fleets of 10 or so rather than massive blobs, although there are certainly plenty of general militia fleets too. Most of the action takes place only a short trip from major trade hubs as well, so resupply couldn't be easier.

Another option is taking over a low sec mission hub (or potential hub). Such a system will have at least one lvl4 agent for a desirable npc corp (ideally more), some manufacturing slots in system or close by and a storyline agent in the area. You make your isk just as you would in high sec but the difference is you'll periodically find people passing through or looking for some action. When that happens you drop what you're doing and go meet them. Once they've left, you go back to missioning or whatever until the next set of targets show up. You won't get a huge amount of action this way, but you will get some so long as you keep scout alts scattered around so you have some warning of inbound targets. Be sure about the system you move into however, your first low sec system should be an empty (or nearly empty) one in your TZ. Trying to invade an occupied system your first time out will almost certainly result in an embarrassing defeat. Fortunately for you, the vast majority of low sec systems with good agents are currently unoccupied. So finding your own first home is a pretty simple task.

The final obvious option is w-space. The mechanics of wh's make it difficult to move large fleets through, so 10-15 active pilots on in the same time zone should be able to defend your system assuming a basic degree of competence. Like low sec missioning, you'll mostly do pve but you'll drop what you're doing for pvp whenever a target is spotted. Also like low sec, you're success will be based largely on scouting. So you will want a few prober alts poking their heads into linked systems. Once again, this shouldn't be a problem though, out of 15 active guys I'm sure you can get at least one dedicated prober alt on.
