Wormholes

As winter approaches I find myself increasingly tired of my EvE routine, and start feeling the need for a spacescape change.

I am thinking of moving out to Anoikis.

I've read quite a lot of the existing wormhole-related documentation, but there are few questions of mine that have gone unanswered.
Wormhole dwellers aren't quite the most vocal community.

My main questions are:

1) C4s seem to be the less inhabited wormhole class, and I am willing to run heavy logistics. What is the best static to have, in order to have the least traffic? We're not total carebears, we'd simply like to start things slowly.

2) Which is the best system effect to have, as far as C4s go? I'm thinking Pulsar, at least for the home defense edge they seem to give.

3) Is it convenient to build caps within a C4? I know they cannot be taken out of it, but hey, a couple Niddhoggurs and Naglfars would sure help, in case of eviction attempts.

4) POS setups. Does it have to be a large deathstar? If yes, which racial POS and guns would you employ? What are the costs of running one?

5) PVE ships. What are the current standard C4 anom/site runners? I assume T3s and Battleships, but I know nothing specific about the current meta. Please post fits and setups, if you can. Bonus points for Minmatar comps.

6)PVP ships. T3 roaming gangs aside, what makes for good WH home defense?

7) The ISK. Is it any good, by WH standards? It doesn't have to, I'm just curious.

That sums it up.
Sorry for the text wall, please answer if you can.
Thank you.

1) Another C4, but I warn you, that will REALLY be a logistics nightmare.

2) Either Wolf Rayet or Pulsar. I'd take Wolf Rayet just because I could then run the sites with Assault Frigates and Guardians, but I am funny that way.

3) It's not impossible, but probably not worth it. Visible capitals are honey pots that draw PvP corporations like, well, honey. I'd invade a C4 to catch a Nidhoggur stuck in the system. It is better to keep a low profile than to waste hangar space on hiding capitals that you might never use.

4) Yes. I'd take either Amarr or Minmatar. You can find pos fuel calculators online.

5) Anything goes. RR Tengus, RR Domis or anything else that can both take heavy neut and deal a lot of damage. Being able to shoot at long rage is necessary.

6) Capable pilots make a good home defense in just about any ship. Use your wormhole effect to your advantage. You can probably use sniper and battleship fleets more freely than anyone coming in trough a wormhole.

7) Not really. Your local sites will not be your main source of income, and if you take a C4 static, you will be stuck with C4 sites there as well. The isk/site is better than in C3's, but they take more effort to do. Soloing C4 sites is not practical, while soloing C3 sites is quite easy.

just a comment on the POS.

no, you absolutely do not want to make it a death star, you want to make it a d*ck star.
no one can bring caps into a c4 to invade you and no one is going to attack a POS with 80+ online ECM mods with subcaps, ever.

you want to use an amarr POS since it fits the most mods, it should be large.

ProTip: WR's buff sleepers too.

C5 is best static because you can ninja the mags and ladars with ease. We never use Logis because RS with RR/Remote Cap is good for 600 DPS, with enough heals NP.

With a small fleet you can crush the sites quickly, no need for a cap. That also helps in defense as it wont attract attention.

I hope so.
On a sidenote: do Pulsars buff POS shields?

1) C3 static will make you the most isk but the best chance of PvP is if that C3 has a lowsec static (50% chance), C2 static will give you the most PvP options but you won't have anything to farm.

2) The best effect depends on how your going to run the C4 sites, you can't go wrong with a Pulsar though as a machariel can solo C4s with a XL shield booster and a heavy cap recharger no logistics needed.

3) You won't ever get evicted unless you beg for it, a single rep carrier allows you to run basically a 1000 DPS basalisk and fit a bunch of faction battleships full DPS for the C4 sites, but since they only about one spawns a day, it's not worth it.

4) C4s C3s C2s C1s you always use the Caldari Tri-Star Pos. You fit and online all ECM, you anchor a full dickstar of guns, and you anchor enough resistances mods to get everything into 90%. The ecm keeps people away, if you get attacked (you wont) you online the guns to fight, if the guns go down you online resistances which will give you plenty of time to evac.

5) T3s are trash, don't let anyone try to tell you that 500 dps is worth bringing. Bring Railgun, 1400mm, and Tachyon battleships with an XL Pith C-type Shield Booster and a Heavy Capacitor Booster. You get 800-1000 DPS, the ships are cheap and easy to fly. The only downside is you have to spend 10 seconds warping back to your pos to grab more charges, (which again because sites respawn so slowly you shouldn't care). If you wanna run C3s fast and safely, Tornados Oracles and Taloses + a scimitar gives you amazing DPS, fast align times, and some ALOT of anti-gankability.

6) Battleships make the best home defense fleets cause most PvP gangs will run T3s and logi and an armageddon or a neut/jam scorpion will tear them to pieces, just be careful of the wormholes mass.

7) If you have a C3 static the isk will be amazing, you can pull 60mil/site and do a site in 3 minutes with a small group of people, then just flip the hole with orcas and battleships and get a new C3 full of sites.

This is just my opinion, but I would keep faction or T2 BS out of wh unless they have a very very specific purpose (aka Bhaal). Nightmares, Vindis, and Machs are magnets for people to stick around and wait. Some people will camp out for a marauder as well. I would say that it's a similar effect to have a cap.

Honestly, if you have the ISK for something like that, you might as well get T3s. Lower sig, higher speed, not Mach or Vindi DPS but not too shabby either. Most ISK efficient is probably T3s or BCs with repping chains (assuming you keep logi out). Or Domis.

The range in c4 sites makes t3 trash. Flying to every single spawn gets annoying after the first few sites.
Domis can project ~800 dps out to 100k easily, no ammo usage, fit rr, cheap, & highly customizable.
