Wormholes

I'd stick to C3 or lower, and even a C3 is questionable with a Cane. You don't have the ability to cloak the Cane which is a pretty big problem, as well as the slower warp speed. A Sleip would probably be manageable, but with a Cane you'll have to be pretty selective on your targets. You're looking at mainly miners and maybe poorly fit site running ships depending on how your Cane is fit. I'd suggest staying from all T3s because they'll massacre your Cane even if they're fit for sites.

If possible, I'd advise training your Cane pilot into a Proteus, and then have your scanning alt fly a Falcon (super honourable) so that when things inevitably go belly up, you have a chance of getting out alive. Prot lets you either put out a massive amount of DPS if you don't want to mess around with a cloak, or be able to cloak, have more tank, and more DPS than your Cane would have.

tldr not super viable




EDIT: Didn't notice same account. Either be not bad and transfer char to a second account or get ******

Same account Jester, that won't work.

If you are using 1 account, then you only need one guy. You have a "few options". By default the answer is almost universally a Cloak Proteus. Blasters, Combat probes, cloak. If you do not want to train into blasters/gallente, there are cloaky loki setups out there. They aren't as highly recommended as the default Cloaky Proteus but it is an option. PVE content can be done in either in lower level wormholes. If you are that adamant on not risking high priced ships, you can solo c1-s through most c3's in a pve setup assault frigate (takes practice and good use of transversal but it is doable, slower than a Cruiser/BC but it works).

3rd option is a cloaky Stratios, as the bulk of its damage is from drones, and the lasers are more of a supplement than its primary focus.

If you had a 2nd account with a scanner on it, then yes every other ship is an option, but as you have it setup right now. You would have to Dscan the person down in your scanner, find them, book mark the area, fly your scanner to a safe or outside of the wormhole, drop a bookmark for your other character, log out, log in your other character, pickup bookmark, and warp to bookmark. You will be praying that the person did not move 2 feet away.

For you specifically as it "seems" you are Minmatar, look into the cloaky Loki. They ain't cheap, but if you want to hunt effectively solo in a wormhole, you either need a probing 2nd account, or your primary account hunter needs to have the ability to cloak and probe.

Basically, you need a cloak, you need probes, else you will be relegated to camping poco's and wormhole entrances, which basically makes you dead meat to a competent pilot.


IF you have two accounts, solo nomading is an option. You would require the following.

1) Orca with probes and cloak on one account (he's your base) Hull is fit with a battlecruiser, cloaky, scanner, and salvager
2) Your main that would go out and solo sites. In that case, you are looking for more dead type wormholes (in your case would be c1 nullsec (which won't work as you cannot fit an orca in it), c3 nullsecs, c3 lowsecs, or a c2 with something like a c1 nullsec or c4 nullsec static.

Its an option, and people do it. If that is what you believe is fun, then more power to you. To be effecitve in that lifestyle you need at "LEAST" a 2nd account with a Orca (optionally a Deep Space Transport with a mobile depot can also work as a base if you don't want to do/risk an orca).

Holy **** that Cane is going to DIAF. Like you couldn't even gank C2 site runners with it because the sleepers would probably pop you unless you warped off. I would highly suggest starting another account and transferring your scanner character. Depending on how absolute **** your computer is, you could scale settings to minimum on both accounts and then just turn shaders to high on your scanner character so that you can tell what type of WH you're jumping into.

With just a Cane you're not going to be able to do anything. You could go solo with a cloaky scanny prot on one character. I'd suggest training your character into a Prot with good skills and in the meantime sticking to daytripping. Maybe get some guys from your null corp together and do daytrip roams through WHs.

But, as has been said, currently your plan is not viable.

pretty much. Also get friends and try so that you can get used to hunting in WHs and WH mechanics. Having a small fleet with you allows for some error room because of the numbers you have.

Just like most forums, there is some good advice, some bad advice. If you are that concerned, try out some fittings on the test server, throw your test ship at stuff and see if it lives. It might be a bit hard to find wormholes on the test server though. Had to do that to truely see if Proteus PVE is as bad as they say (it is).

Enjoy your sub-50% efficiency. You can't do **** in wormholes without a proteus blob and logi.

Gratz on your bold choice and best of luck!

Select ships that can warp cloaked to be able to select your fights, have two separate accounts, and never forget about the polarization effect when jumping through a WH.. This is what can get you killed by locals in no time

Would definitely recommend dual boxing for scouting purposes and just generally makes things a lot easier if solo. Also widens the pool of potential targets for you when you have two ships (supposing your second isn't just in a covops frigate).

If you can't then I'd agree with the cloaky Proteus option.

If you like your Matari stuff though the cloaky Loki is still pretty viable if you have the skills to squeeze the most out of it's tank/DPS and tracking. For an idea of a fit to play with my Loki alt flies this :

Highs
5 x 425mm Autocannon II
1 x Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
1 x Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher

Mids
2 x Large Shield Extender II
1 x Experimental 10mn Microwarpdrive I
1 x Shadow Serpentis Warp Scrambler
1 x Adaptive Invulnerability Field II

Lows
2 x Gyrostabilizer II
1 x Damage Control II
1 x Republic Fleet Tracking Enhancer

Rigs (Some folks drop the extender for a projectile weapon rig for moar dps)
1 x Medium Anti-Explosive Screen Reinforcer II
1 x Medium Core Defense Field Extender II
1 x Medium Anti-Kinetic Screen Reinforcer II

Subsystems
Loki Defensice - Adaptive Shielding
Loki Electronics - Emergent Locus Analyser
Loki Offensive - Covert Reconfiguration
Loki Propulsion - Intercalated Nanofibers
Loki Engineering - Augmented Capacitor Reservoir


It's not awesome, and lacks tracking so has trouble landing damage on small targets without web, but I usually dual box something else with a web anywho.

Can confirm this.

Every lowsec fleet needs one special lunatic to draw the content. My family's never filled that role well, but we do like to show up in time to see Jester explode. Giggles all 'round.

Oh yeah, that was nullsec.

Lowsec I protected you with dishonor Falcon.
