Wormholes

Hello everyone! I recently made a topic about duo living in a wh and got alot of nice responses, but after some thinking it would be pretty lonely.
Therefore i now have desilusions about becoming a ceo of a WH corp, and need someone to tell me if i have illusions of grandeur or if it is doable.
I have yet ever to live in a wh, but have spent probably 20+ hours reading about different aspects( thats what eve is all about right?:p)
So my plan is:
*Move in to a c4-c3 with nice pi( nanite paste capable)
* set up my own personal pos
* set up a corp pos
* get some members( keep it small, 10-15 active)
I will not be really selective regarding skills(will do drake fleets on static rolls) , will also be a corp where people can relax without the constant mandatory pvp attendance( appliers will ofc need skill and bring a ship for homedefence if the hole, and its a plus if they enjoy pvp)
If anyone desires a personal pos, i will set it up and create a personal password.
I will buy nanite paste components at jita price.
2% poco tax.
Basically a group of carebears wich are willing tl defend their home and roll statics
Is this achievable? Or the ramblings of a madman? ( sorry for wall of text, iphone is weird)

The reason im looking for a c4-c3 , is despite theexrra logistic its to my understanding the " safest" place to be+ having endless access to relatively easy sites and being able to choose when to pvp and when to close the static:)

Thx alot for the answers m8:) yeah a c2-c3 might suffic too i guess:) ill pick one with lowsecstatic anyway if its gonna be a c2 though:) never actually considered c2 because i are referred to as a pvp highway everwhere:p
Yea, carebearing while stillbeing able to defend home systemwill be main focus.
Orcas fit through k-space-c2 right?

IMO your best bet is to get yourself a c4 with a c3 static.

This will give you the best of all situations as you get a static to farm (and also allows for some growth of your potential corp)

That and generally c4s have the lowest amount of traffic as they get no incoming or outgoing connections to Kspace.

Mail me or convo me if you would like to know anything else.

A c2 with a c3 static will always have a highsec static.

You will have an interesting time acquiring one as generally all the good ones are occupied.

despite dmitry wizards kind advice, i am now set on getting a c4-c3 with nanite repairpaste capabilities.
guess im gonna spend some time scanning one down:P
http://www.wormholesales.com/wormholes?sort=created_at are legit? i guess you could never tell whos posting the Whs though. anyways if anyone wanna get rid of a hole. hook me up:)

If you do buy anything from Wormhole sales make sure you don't pay anything up front. Get in the hole and check it out beforehand.

C4 space is still a good start. It's decently secluded. I will however giving you one warning. Prepare for c4-c4-c4-c4-c5-c5-c5-c6-c5-c5 chains. When we lived in a c5-c4 the chains were ridonculous and scanning takes forever. But the c4 holes that roll into you will provide good gas and data relic sites. If you fit a legion up you can solo the first wave of almost all the data relic sites get your loot and get out without a hitch. I bid you good luck and prosperity in your new voyage to wormhole space

that sounds nice andrewXD im scanning like a boss right now. but not much luck yet::)

The main thing you will run into, logistics. We also ran a personal pos program for a while. These are the issues we ran into.


1) People did not pay the rental bill (which was the fuel bill to fuel the pos)
2) People did not fuel the pos themselves.
3) People would take weeks off, and leave there pos/ships unattended
4) Shutting down a pos requires you to be able to fly every ship in there out, or to blow them all up. People get upset if you blow them up.
5) You have to keep track of all alts, all passwords. People either forget the password, or ask outright for it.
6) You need a backup player you trust with roles to deal with pos level issues, else you'll be stuck dealing with the day to day bs of pos's.
7) People are going to want to research in there. Not the greatest idea, but expect a bunch of billion isk blueprints to be floating around in pos's (not annoying to manage, annoying to track down people who "theive them".
8) Fuel types. Keep the pos's the same, else they'll just be a pain when dealing with fuel. The fuel only becomes an issue if you lack #9
9) People who want to haul fuel/products in and out. Its logistics, its booring, it takes forever, and people don't like guarding a wormhole entrance (booooooriiiing).

The main ones I've run into is #2, #1, and #4. #4 is a pain if you don't have alts or others that can fly the crap they leave.

If you are just starting out, I'd avoid the whole personal pos thing. Setup 1 POS, possibly 2. Minmatar for a C4 is a pretty good deal, but an amarr works also. Unless you are hardcore gas mining, Site running, etc. Don't expect to build a ton of stuff there, you'll import more than you take in. If you don't want to deal a ton with security, pos management and assignments, have people anchor giant secure containers outside the pos (right outside is fine), and have them put a password on it.

With the new Mobile Units, anchoring one of those could be a good alternative also, expect people to take pot shots at it if your tower is not setup to attack at all ranges.

I would not go about anchoring 10 to 12 towers just so people can have their own little home, because most people do not know HOW to take care of their own little home.

Rule of thumb, unless you have a few right hand men (and I mean people who will log on and just do a job you ask them no questions asked), don't do more than 1 tower.

If you are doing a C4.. DON'T build a damn capital in it. Orca is fine, don't make a archon. It'll just be a waste as you can't get it out of a C4. C4's aren't for capitals.

You can do a C4 with all of 3 people if you are good, 10 to 15 is pretty much its saturation point. C2 you can double that amount as you can roll your statics.

Buy the nanite paste components at 5% to 10% under jita price (price fluxuates allot), that and you are saving people time by not having to haul it to high, then contract it out to red frog to ship it to jita to sell.

You can do a 0% tax, or a 10% Tax, 5% is a good middle ground.
