Wormholes

I hope to be forming a corp with ~4 chars, along with their alts, and setting up in a wormhole soon. Focus will be the complete spectrum of pvp and pve, although hopefully the pvp will be limited to the fights we aren't at too much of a disadvantage at to begin with. We do also hope to do the full industry thing, including ore and gas mining..but we don't have any expensive bpo's yet.

Given that, I see we have three real choices for holes:

c2 with hs static
c2 with ls static
c3 with ls static

C2 is probably the proper size to begin with, but some of our chars have 2-3 accounts with many alts and I'm worried the c2 might seem too small - especially as the corp grows. Also, c3 gas is much better than c2....but would we be nuts to start out in a c3? LS static in c3 would make logistics a little harder but I assume we can manage it...HS static in a c3 would likely make our hole too tempting of a target given the corp size?

What would you all suggest? Yes, I realize we'll have to find the right hole or buy access to it.

If you want to roam and won't rely on WH sites for too much isk, 2>2/LS is top notch. As long as you can use blockade runners, it won't be too hard to resupply.

If you want to make good money from running WH sites, then you'll want a 2>3/HS. This allows you to roll your static for more sites as well as the option to roll for a C3 with a LS/NS exit if you want to go roam/PvP in k-space.

C3 with LS static is great if you want to roam LS a bunch, but your home sites will get farmed out p quickly, so you won't be making a huge amount of money from them. << This is probably worse option

2>2/LS is what I'd recommend if you won't be running mondo sites for money and enjoy scanning massive chains(thanks C2 super highway), also good if you're not planning on rolling your static a lot/at all. ALSO, the C2 static allows you to roll for a 2>5/NS and scan out that holes 5 static which may have the high-end gas sites that make a decent amount of money.

2>3/HS is a great starter hole. Easy logistics, easy money, but less WH PvP opportunities. You'll still have a decent amount of potential WH PvP as connections into C2s are p common, but you won't really be able to roll for WH PvP on demand because the C3 static limits you a bit.

If your corp grows and you want to try something different, in the future I'd recommend moving to a C4 as they now have 2 statics. For now though, I'd recommend trying out a 2>2/LS if it's your first venture into wspace

There're a decent amount of fights to be found in low class as well. They just don't get mondo publicized because people aren't blobbing to kill 5b+ worth of caps.

For OP's corp size, the PvP found in low class will be fitting

Don't be silly, we all know anyone who lives in null sec only knows about pressing F1 and blobbing and absolutely nothing about WHs. This is obviously a ruse post by pandemic legion to scam OP of all their belongings

If your characters are reasonably well skilled (aka you can field a fleet of 5 tengus with RR often), you should probably look at a c4 with c4 and c2 statics. I say this for a couple reasons...

1) Having a c4 static means you'll get immense chains, lots of pvp, and the ability to go 10-15 jumps deep most nights.

2) Having a c2 static means you'll have an easy connection to k-space, and a good chance of longer secondary chains, as c2s are also very common and very active.

This gives you good pvp, and you can get pve either through local or static c4 sites.

That being said, Keskora's c2 with c4/hs is also another viable option.

Sincere thank you to all who responded. Your assistance is greatly encouraging.

After review, our small group has decided to setup in a c2 with static hs + c3. Blackhole effect + good pi/planets also on the wishlist.

Thank you for the welcome to the wormhole neighborhood.

This is probably the most desirable WH system for smaller groups. Good luck finding one and be prepared to fight for it.



nevermind what I just said
