Wormholes

The way you described is the only way to avoid pvp. Yes you can make a decent amount of money salvaging. Best idea is to bm the wrecks and come back with a salvage ship.
THeres a chance you could get dropped by one person but tbh if you are in a ratting ship it doesnt matter if theres 1 person or 10 you are going to die assuming the person ganking you isnt terrible.

Basically the only way I do solo high sec day tripping in a wormhole is as follows:

- Find an empty system c2-3
- Find all wormholes, and crit them (use a bs with afterburn and plates, or use an orca on any HS hole )
- Drop combat probes and rescan regularly
- Use a drake or other cheap BC

In general I recommend at least getting a friend with an alt or 2. Then you can station an alt on each hole, look at the hole, and bail when you hear an activation.


As far as solo pvp you are really limited to hunting planet gooers, and miners. Anything else will generally take to long to kill, and you risk being mobbed.

Run 3-4 sites. Bookmark a wreck in each site. Label the wreck in the first site 1, the second site 2, etc...Once you kill the sleepers and warp off, the site will despawn. This means anyone that enters the wormhole after they despawn will have to combat you in order to find you. If you pay attention to d-scan while salvaging, you should almost never get caught.

Also, make safe spots in the system that you can warp off to, just in case you run into bad people.

Lastly, don't be surprised/angry/sad if you do get caught. There are some very sneaky people out there who are very good at finding people like you. It's going to happen. The only thing you can do is make it as hard as possible for them.

Good advice from prior posts, a few additions:

Yeah, criting wormholes is not the best idea unless it's a high-security connector or you have a force to be reckoned with helping out. On the other hand a jump-drive with a shwack of neuts, warp stabs and some jamming support might be enough for most encounters but you never really know what you'll run into so...

It is always a good idea to investigate the local pos owners which can be done initially through sites like worrmnav, wormhol.es and dotlan then evewho, battleclinic... Many WH corps only have a few regular toons that live there (watch-list em) but if they have a large presence use the opportunity for a potential PVP encounter instead if you like.

I like the thought about spamming the Directional Scanner with combat probes out but only if you can't cover all of the wormholes, otherwise deleting all of the signatures you have accounted for on your System Scanner and clicking (yellow link at bottom) every 10-20 seconds or so should be adequate in case a new sig shows up.

Additionally, cover the wormholes with cloaky alts/toons for as long as you can prior to running sites (keeping despawn time in mind for your exit) and watch-listing anyone you come across, including their corp or alliance.

Lastly, it really is better money having at least 2-5 individuals running sites with you which further enables you for running scan down sites, minimizing your time running sites (and getting ganked), salvaging and playing that happy happy joy joy hacking game.

I used to camp and harvest a C3 when I found a good one with lots of anoms and a null static.

Use an industrial to bring in and anchor a freight container full of ammo, modules you may need, etc. Anchor it in a safe spot.
Bring 2 characters each flying a T3. Each carries a mobile depot and refits for pve, pvp or cloaky.
Come in, run sites, salvage, store loots in the can. Anchor the depot, refit to cloaky/pvp, scoop depot. Log.
Log back on, SCAN! If safe, launch depot, refit pve, do sites, rinse and repeat.

You might even get lucky and find a null-bear farming it sometime!

Well you want to scout the hole 1st with a cheap and well fitted ship. The key to criting a hole with a BS is fitting a bunch of stabs, a cloak, a lot of ecm drones, and a probe launcher. Sure you can still get jumped by a hic and die, but it raises the stakes. Like wise an Orca on a HS hole is very hard to kill if you don't get polarized. It's rare you aren't in range of the hole when you jump, and if you fitted an ab/mw, and tank you'll survive the run to the hole. Honestly you'll likely die horrible the 1st time you are jumped due to mistakes until you learn not to panic, hold cloak, and always cloak/mw away from the hole.

All this said honestly you are better off joining a corp. (Enjoyed PNDI a lot with Illy) You'll make more isk, die less often and learn a lot. I'd be in a wspace corp if I had more time to play, and wasn't enjoying playing tag in LS and market games in HS.

Advice dont sit in one spot, move about in the site, hit dscan ever 5 seconds.
Make sure your dscan is clear of things you dont need to see
For solo pvp in wh's Ive ran into one awesome dude who can solo drakes with his purifier stealth bomber, the dude is like a genious polletjepikhaar is the guy he is like epic.

Myself using main + alt in cloaky recons and or cov ops t3 and scout until you find something, time consuming and sometimes you get nothing but sometimes the thrill is there when you actually run into possible action.

What ships you fly is also going to determine what ships you can fight and what ships you should avoid.

Ya, but did you see the fit on the drake kill?
