My corp currently resides in a C3 wh and we've now become abit fat in the hole. What would be concidered the best static for a C5 wh for a small corp who actively wants to pvp? I've been looking for a C5 with a C3 static. Is this a good choice or is a higher grade static recommended?

Depends what your looking for.

Last time I lived in a C5/3 potential for pew in the static itself had pretty much dried up but if you want to roam out the low and null statics of the C3s then theres probably potential there. C3 statics are better really if you've got a few people who want to do a bit of bearing in the quiet times when you don't have enough people for C5 sites.

(EDIT: This might have changed as its been awhile since I lived in a C5/3).

Any connecting c3's we've encountered in our time in wh space have been occupied, but we've seen a lot of posing up recently, we get a lot of our pvp through other wh's which have further wh connections or chains. From what I've read/seen the lower end who's tend to be more often occupied. Not so much concerned on the bearing part. It's more the ability to roll the static to find something to fight.

If you want to fight in the upper end, take a c5 static, there are many empty ones though. If you want to fight down, c2 static would probably be best for long chains and trafiic.

C4s would only be useful in case you want to do sites with 3 or 4 people quite often. C6s have too much trouble in them, also there are far less of them than of the other types.

C5 static is the best.

C1/C2/C3/C4 statics are bad because you have no way to move capitals when you want, you have to rely on incoming K162's or wandering nullsec/lowsec wormholes.

C6 static is the same as a C5 static except that it's 100% easier for anybody living in a C6 to siege your system as they can just chain roll to get back into their C6.

You can find plenty of C5 with lower class statics by just rolling your own static if you absolutely need to find a kspace or lower class wormhole, imo scanning down the chain from a higher class static will yield a wider variety of pvp opportunities than just rolling a lower class static constantly, and also affords and easier time with capitals (which you should use if you live in a C5, otherwise why not just move to a C3).

if only you could get a static null from a c5 would save the hassle of scanning

Well, the amount of null k162's in C5 systems has skyrocketed since the release of Odyssey. It seems like in every C5 I visit there's at least 2-3 k162's leading to nullsec. Guess the nullbears actually care about wormholes now that the signatures are being rubbed on their faces..

In any case, +1 for the C5 static.

The advice here seems not very tailored to the asker. According to your KB stats you have <10 active pvp pilots, c5-c5 is way above your head. One of the large allys will evict you quickly.

My advice is a c5-c2. Having a non-capital static somewhat discourages invaders from bringing their capitals unless they have an actual reason to want you dead. Also c2s will have engagable residents more often than c5s do. And you'll always have a k-space exit near, high for logistics or low/null for roams.

C2s are the worst class for bearing of course, but many c2s have a c3, c4 or c1 static for fairly effective solo bearing.

Which wont keep them safe from being evicted, because C5/C6 allys will have access to the home C5 anyways. I think that is a risk the thread starter is well aware off.

Generally I agree, with around 10 active pilots in fleet (and bringing fights) I would assume that everybody in C5 space will love you Pirate

Oh, and yes I think agree to Terrorfrodo, C5/C2 seems to be a good starting point, if you have masochistic tendencies you can chose a C5/C4....

the best static is the one that gives you what you want to do.

C6: if you want to blob with the rest of C6 space.
C5: dont want to blob quite as hard as C6s but still want to.
C4: lol, no. only if youre a masochist.
C3: if you want to PVE solo in your static.
C2: best for low scale PVP.
C1: if you only want to farm in your home and easy kspace.

Thanks for the feedback so far guys.
What i think we're going to go for is a C5-C3/C2 static. Though we'll welcome any C5/c6 connecting to us with open arms and loaded guns. ^^
We're not a risk averse, pos turtling corp. The whole reason we moved into wh space (c2 then onto a c3) was to get fights in small to medium gangs.

Just move to a c5>c5 anything else is just sheer shite in comparison, you have unlimited nulls to pvp from and as long as you guys don't be dicks in local and shoot back when someone comes into your system then you wont get invaded

I know people who know otherwise Big smile

Some people will invade you if you gank their pve ships or win just any fight against them and then refuse to let them slaughter you after they have properly gathered their numbers and outnumber you 5:1. If you don't continue to fight at those odds they will say you are bears and invade you. True story.

edit: But, I have to say that it is much easier to find a c5-c5 because there are hundreds of them, while there are only ~30 c5-c2. If you do take a c5-c5, just make sure you run a lean operation and can logout almost all your ships and stuff if you have to. Don't even try to dig in and build a fortress, POSes without a lot of men to defend them will avail you nothing in a system with capital-sized static.
