Wormholes

Sorry about the alt but i want to post some info id rather have not public knowledge

I need some advice on this.

Where we are at now (class 2 with static 3) i think we are out growing quite quickly. We have been running the static quite a bit the past few days and been using RR domis.. each class 3 site takes about 4-5 minutes... so even if theirs a ton of sites we are clearing them out in an hour and a half or so. It might sound good but then split up between 3-6 people the distribution isn't that much...

I was thinking of possibly looking at either a c5 / c5, or a c5 / c4. I just have a few questions.

How popular are C5 / C5's ? If we have just a normal one no effects would there be a big chance of getting evicted? We are a small sized corp with rougly 7ish people active most nights, most of us have alts also. Some of us have PvP experience, but the majority dont and not sure how we would be able to defend the WH against a larger corp / alliance...

I was also thinking about possibly c5 / c4, c5 for when we have most members on, c4's when there is not as many people on.

Class 5's will have random K space openings every once in a while correct? C5 seems more appealing for that fact, can bring caps in without building them in there, and if you get a hi sec opening you can bring a freighter filled with fuel to last awhile.


Ship requirements ?

a few of us all can fly RR tengus, but after flying a sentry domi RR tengus are laughable. For the other members, is there a battleship setup that can work a C5 and C4's? Obviously we would need RR.. but would 5-7 RR sentry domis be able to handle class 5's and 4's, or would it be more advisable using guardians with say rail megas? What would you recommend for how many logi, will 2 guardians suffice? Once we started earning more isk i would bring in dreads and lokis for the c5 escalations.

Appreciate any feedback

c5-c4 seems right for you. Terribly lonely and boring for anything except bearing, but that is what you want to do, it appears. I currently have a little bearing outpost in such a c5-4 as well.

Even if you don't run cap escalations (which are not nearly as great as people make you think; unless you run them with a small and focused team, they tend to have worse ISK/hour than many solo ratting methods), the c5 is good for the top-notch gas and relic sites. Do those at home and otherwise farm the c4s with your RR Domis.

Because the c5-c4 is so secluded and boring, most people who roll into your hole will instantly close the connection again and roll for something more useful, which means you'll have fewer open connections.

As for defense, put enough up to deter casual harassers; a few ECMs, small guns and a warp disruptor and web is enough to keep small gangs away. Don't bother with deathstars or lots of caps, if any pvp group wants your system they will get it anyway.

If you pick a Black Hole c5, no one will evict you even if you beg them to do it Also there's tons of empty ones around.

We evicted some bears and took over a C5/C3. It allows a healthy variety of sub-cap and capital pilots who can all make good money and be valued as long as they meet our relatively low minimum skill requirements (battlecruiser with tech2 tank, covops, and either a wormhole background or time spent training with our rookie corp), and round-the-clock PvP pew or PvE sites via the C3 static. Lots of daily pew, frequent hisec exits, frequent nullsec inbound holes to move Dreads, go ratting, or roam, plenty of high-value gas and ore, and steady income from multiple potential revenue streams to keep in ships and mods.

A C5/C3 has the disadvantage of a low-mass static holding a system that is very difficult to solo, but lots of advantages for corps that value and reward sub-cap protection for capital escalation fleets.

I'm digging the C5 life. Good income, good fights, good Bob it's awesome!
