Move into a C6, will be easiest to run sites in, bring a small POS and a month worth of fuel, don't bring stront, cos no moon mins =no POS bashing in W-space (yay), and that's about it. Don't mine gas, rather bring a hulk for all the ore inside. Bring an alt with a scan probe launcher in an ibis, and some drones. That's it! A vexor can easily handle c6 sites, and later you can upgrade to an ishtar. You'll be making 200-400M an hour so your investment of 200M will be made back soon.

Anyway, enjoy!

What are you looking to be doing in wormholes? What kind of things can you fly? Are you going to solo or join a corp?
Be more specific and people might attempt to come to your assistance.

Find a C2/C3 WH corp with at least 10 active members.

Living in WH space is an art. It can be very tedious and will challenge the soul of even the most hardened capsuleer.

You will be constantly under attack and you won't even know it. Gangs roam WHs like CFC members roam NAMBLA-CON. They are everywhere and you won't know they are with you until the 15 man T3 fleet has you scrammed and neuted.

The key is numbers. Spend a few months in a lower-class WH ot make sure its what you want and if it is then look for a C5/C6 group.

I'd suggest simply daytripping in wormholes to get a feel for it. Take a drake / cerberus / jackdaw or something into a C1 or C2 and run some sites for a taste of PvE, or take a stealth bomber or stratios in to try stalking.

I highly reccomend you watch Asayanami Dei's wormhole fundamentals series of youtube videos. You'll learn a lot for starting out.

Your best bet for finding a wormhole home is a c1/c2 wormhole. If you're interested in PvP look for a C2 with null static. For PvE try and get a C3 static. C3 sites might be a bit of a challenge (in PvE) until you can fly a decently skilled tengu/gila etc, but are by far the best for solo farming. Basically whatever content you want to do the most, make sure its readily available through your static.

In a C2 you wont get rolled into by the larger WH entities very often, and you still have easy access to high/low/null sec.
C2 chains can get quite long but arent as populated as C5s so you'll mostly encounter small corps of 20 or less people, who wont be dropping faction battleships on you quite so often.

Make sure you can scan (both probes and dscan) well though, you'll be doing it a lot.

If you decide you'd like to live in WH space long term - definitely get a corp or you'll get very bored very fast unless PvE is all you want to do.

Remember to always keep an eye on local too. If it's clear, you don't have to worry about being ganked.

If you are lazy solo wh operations are not for you. It's a lot of work in any class hole. If you go for something with a kspace static do not pick a hole with a high sec static unless you like frequent pvp and odds that are at best 1v4.

It helps to have scout alts to keep eyes on all of your entries. When you hear door activations you'll know if it's time to bug out if you can't handle whats inbound. If you have that as a viable option it's alright to even run mining barge fleets (as long as they stay aligned) as they'll be able to get out in time. Once you've adapted to the particulars W-space is really pretty easy.

I suggest looking into joining a WH Corp and learning the ropes through them. WH living can be tedious, lonely, and a good bit to learn. Would be a lot easier with support.
