Wormholes

Is it doable to make good money in a small corp living in a lower class wormhole? Any advice, or tips on how you do it? I really love wormholes and want to get me and my small group of buddies in one, but I don't want to over commit ourselves to something it turns out we need more manpower for. How hard is it to keep a POS online?

Edit- Its a few days later, and I'm surprised at the response this thread has gotten. We got a bunch of good advice, tips, and even some help from a few guys which allowed us to move into the wormhole much sooner than expected. We also added a few pilots to our corp, as a few people saw the thread and liked the notion of what we were going for (small friendly wormhole corp) and joined up. Thanks again everybody.

Yes sir, but I'm under the impression there will be other threats, like other corps. Is it invulnerable as long as its fueled?

no but in lower class wormholes you wont have to worry to much as of eviction as long as you mind your own and dont smack talk some big players in WHs. Make sure you do your research on your wh before you move in so you dont move into a place someone wants.

If you put down a large pos with hardeners + ECM in a low class wormhole (read C4 and below) it's probably not going to get blown up because it will take literally forever.

From running combat anoms in your static.
The anoms in your home system will be farmed pretty quickly, but if you roll your static (meaning collapsing it and scanning the new one) you will find more anoms to run there.

C2s only come with c2+lowsec static. Sadly, c2 anomalies pay the worst out of all lowclass by a huge margin. If anyhow possible, your focus should be directed towards c1 OR c4, since they pay the best given proper equipment. Since c4 is really best done with two BS worth of dps, c1-c3 can be solo'ed. Depending on the price for MNRs (melted nanoribbons), c1-income can easily overtake even c3s. Just need medium pulse lasers + scorch.

If you're into grinding loads of cash, my suggestion would be a c2 with c1+hs - static, throw up a small tower and stront it. Once they reinforce that tower, you throw up the next one etc. If you're using GSCs to store your goods, reinforcing the POS won't even cut access to our stuff. If in a 3man corp, high chance you won't be able to defend your tower (go straight over to yieldtanking).

best option to try as small group of buddies- join a corp. This way u can see how it works, get basics about wh life, find proper set up to do what u wanna do and all of that with much less risks if u try it on your own. Ive seen tons of fail corps and silly CEOs who thought solo part was the best for them, and u will see the examples of this corps too, just scan a POS without a forcefield-these are monuments for every 'small corp wanna try'

I'll echo RudinV 's sentiments, having experienced people is invaluable, and can be the difference between losing your system, and keeping it. Do you understand polarization mechanics? Do you know how mass calculations are done? Could you roll a hole in an emergency? Can you make enough ISK to keep the towers running?

I live in a C2 and can confirm the only good the sites are as bait. Living in a C2 with a good paying static and farming the static is the way to go. C1s are a pain to roll though. You'll want a pilot why can fly a hic to do it.

When I daytripped, I used a Drake with light missiles. Worked ok. Not sure I'd go with the rapid lights or not. The reload time on them is pretty long. They're typically used for PVP. The regular light missile launchers would be fine.

The biggest danger in daytripping is that someone else will come in the same hole you used to get there. If possible, have a cloaked alt sit on the hole so you'll have some warning.
