Wormholes

PVE related.

Are C2's usually for newer groups or are there bigger, well organized Corporations out there that really take advantage of static farming? If higher class holes are not of interest, is it worth living in a C2?

It depends on what type of PVE you are looking for really (and how much you care about PVP)


A C4 would prolly work out better for groups looking for smaller scale PVE stuff since the static is still pretty easy to roll and the dual statics would allow more people to go out and find stuff. Add in that you can always go into one that has a higher and lower class statics then you can scale your probing to take the most advantage of the numbers you have online.

You gonna roll T3s/Gilas or similar for PVE? Or Marauders/RR BS? If former, C3 is your stat. Latter is C4.

Null/Low is obviously gonna be your PvP stat. I'd say C2 is a good bet for you, you can mix and match your permanent outbound types from there.

You don't mention logistics which can affect your longevity. C2 has the benefits for this also.

Would running multiple squads splitting up sites be advisable for clearing systems faster? I want to say the group will be larger than 15 active players.

Depends on the class and what you're piloting, can you use T2 drones etc.

C3s can be soloed or dualboxed easily. Sweetspot for efficiency is 2/3 pilots. More than that, split up.

C4s require a minimum of 3 x RR Domis. Dependent on fit/weather. Sweet spot is probably 4/5 now thanks to mental RR.

Bear in mind for each group you will want a competent pilot who can tag, knows the spawns etc. Or all the above info is garbage.

2nd time I've seen Gilas brought up. Are they the go to ship for C3's next to T3's? Does the Vexor Navy Issue or another cruiser hull come close?

Clearing holes in under an hour would be great I think. Quick run for those on limited time and repeatable via hole rolling if the rest of the group wants to continue.

Also, is gas harvesting in groups worth the time?

tl;dr: yes, C2s are worth living in.

I would say a C2 w/ C5/Null exits

You get the good stuff in the C5 sites, plus their Null exits, your own Null exit for blopsing away, the C2 has null relic/data sites for moar isk and they're all pretty vacant so you can pick one that works for you in regards to wormhole effect and planet/moon distribution.

To number 1: No, because you lack the gases and espacially the blueprints needed to produce T3 in substancial amount.

To number 2: C2 combat anoms are well worth the time if you feel 130-180M ISK per hour, solo worth the effort. If not, then they are probably not worth your time.

Edit: That's the same you can gather from a C1 by the way as well. My current average income from the last months lies exactly at 148.7M ISK / hour, including warping times and the time to salvage / loot the field. Yes, I use stopwatch. :) All with one character, so really solo. No booster, no special wormhole effect! What's not counted is scanning time and hauling to trade hubs of course.

Still with the old legion or did you upgrade to polarized yet? ;)
