Wormholes

Fixed. Thanks for the good catch!

No, honestly willing to help. Funny how so many people ***** about w-space dying, then when a dude asks for help moving in everyone who is bitching laughs at him. Lots of people helped me out along the way, so as my one good deed for the decade I am willing to return the favor.

Fremen, you still love me

1) Start training your corp by getting them diving into wormholes and experiencing the mechanics. And I don't just mean farming the combat sites, I mean actively hunting targets. Once you have a handful of people who are comfortable with hunting and being hunted in W-space, then you're ready to set up a tower. The remaining W-space mechanics you'll quickly become acquainted with. Note: always leave a scout in the hole if you want to make sure you can get back.

3) Most of the more established corps can be trusted to keep their word, but again, you should live with the expectation that there are a dozen or more scouts in your system, cloaked or logged off. What protects you in W-space isn't secrecy, because that's impossible to verify and maintain.

What protects you is you: your crew not doing utterly stupid things; not logging off at the first sight of a new sig appearing in system; having some kills next to your name; making absolute certain that you keep your word when you give it. That last one can't be stressed enough: there are few reasons to burn systems to the ground because it just sucks so much, but backstabbing is one very good way to ensure you'll lose a lot of assets and be looking for a new home, perhaps for years.

4) Same as #3 really. You protect you. Hire mercs when you can't. You make friends by shooting them in W-space and then talking to them afterward. If you prove yourself competent, they may even call on you when they want a little more help. It's a concept called "frenemies", and is apparently completely unheard of anywhere else in EVE. You shoot each other one day, and fleet up together the next. Sometimes you're shooting each other and then in the same fleet 5 minutes later, 100% confident that there will be no backstabbing.

5) This is where you point out that you don't understand how W-space works. You don't establish any sort of forward base, or beachhead, or garrison outpost. Those kinds of things are appropriate when you have static borders, fixed paths of entry, known points of contention. It's a Nullsec/Sov thing, not a W-space thing. Here, you establish a home (temporary or permanent), or you daytrip, or you go full nomad.

There are no permanent connections. The wormhole in Amarr today that leads to (or comes from, there is a difference) that C3 system with those 100 combat sites will be gone tomorrow. Tomorrow, that C3 may open up into Solitude.


It sounds like you want to set up a PvE farming operation in W-space under the protection of someone else. It doesn't quite work like that here. Either you take what you want and you defend it, or you don't have or keep anything.

What you appear to want is called "Renting", and they do that kind of thing in Nullsec all the time. That's where your apparent request would be more appropriate. Unlike W-space, your Nullsec overlords actually have a chance to defend you, and have a monetary incentive to do so.

That being said does anyone have any POS setup suggestions for lower class holes and or is it plausible/does anyone set use POS's in wspace for industry purposes?

Thanks
