Hello Gents,

Just wanted to share my oppinion on trying to find empty C4 (pref with C4 static). I have moved in to C2 with C4/HiSec Statics to try to find C4 to live in. However, after rolling holes for a few days (probably been to 20-25 different C4s), i haven't found a single empty one! Everyone saying that C4s are empty... Doesn't look like it anymore. Am I doing something wrong? Or it is all up to will of BoB?

Are you doing something wrong?



No. Just keep rolling.

Are you interested in buying a hole?

I've been diving C4s lately and found several unoccupied ones, quite happy to discuss desired effects and PI requirements.

C4 space is much more occupied and active than people give it credit for, but there are still plenty of empty ones too.

I lived in C2/C4 for a year, in my experience they are maybe 60/40 occupied/unoccupied, but of the occupied ones the vast majority are farmers you never see. Not when you roll in, not when you check 8 hours later, 16 hours later, and not when you check Russian TZ next Saturday with the alt you left in there because there was a bunch of barges in the shields. wormnav will have a bunch of activity 48 hours ago that was probably some other c2 corp that rolled in, and the locals will have a history of losses 30 days apart, sometimes barges, sometimes PI runners, but rarely pvp.

So technically, no, they're not empty. But they are nearly devoid of content...

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

Unless you fancy moving into a system with a c5,c6, c1 or black hole. Your gonna have to take it.

There are like three things to find in c4s: void, people hiding in their POS from a helios and warpcorestabbed battleships. You can evict a c4 you desire by throwing up a tower and waiting for a couple days.

If you're still looking for a C4, I can sell you mine.

C4 cataclysmic variable, moved in here to start off running sites in domis but now that I can afford my marauder I'm using that instead.

If you're interested just mail me and I'll send you the Jsig.

@ OP, yes there are hidden peeps in most of them. This is the problem.... C4 dwellers are like unicorns... they come out when the anoms are full.

I don't see any reason why they wouldn't. C4s by nature are very isolated, meaning you have little reason to live in one if your intent is farming sites. They're also easily blitzed by RR domis or a couple well fit marauders, meaning you log in once a week roughly and do all the sites in a few hours and then log back out again.

The chance of being ganked in a C4 is very low.

Dunno about you, but these damn unicorns love to collapse my epic C4-C4 chains.
