By this I mean which class have you found to be the most troublesome?

In my three years of Wormhole life, I have found that C2's seem to spawn the most trouble with roaming gangs and lone wolves. My main experience lies with classes C1-C5, so I haven't had much experience with C6 I'll add. But for me, C2's are my bane. Perhaps because they seem to be the busiest WH's.

What have other people found?

C1-C2.

I think it's because a lot of people scan them out from high sec to hunt for targets. I don't know if this still works but previously you could scan down a large number of WHs, write down the system name and periodically check to see number of NPC kills in that system.

Meaning you could, from the safety of high sec, sit and wait for someone to start running sites in all the WHs you've scanned down.

Living in a C6 and being a carebear is the surest way to get wiped out quickly.
Reason being C6s are very easy to find and there are several groups with C6 statics that take issue with people just farming in their space.

If youre just passing through, 2cs and c3s will have the most traffic you can run into.

C6 if you plan to live in one. The good thing is if you're looking for pew, they are quite wonderful :D

For smaller enteties and ganks, I'd say c2 but basically anything with a static hisec.

Ugh wormholes with hi-secs are awful. You do have to laugh at the "wormhole divers" complaining that you won't PvP with them whilst they circle the hi-sec at 500m. Best case scenario: they don't realise what 6 - 8 tornados are about to do to their ship.

Leaving that was the best feeling, but you have to look harder in higher class wormholes for pew. Not hard though, if you're prepared to look (and poke at people) P

Most dangerous though? None of them. Wormholes aren't dangerous, it is the inhabitants that open up to you that are dangerous.

I agree that a lot of the bad traffic comes from the HS statics. Our old C2 use to have a C2 and Low-Sec static. I can count the number of troubles we had from the LS on one hand. The C2 on the other hand... especially from the Russians!

I always 'LOL' when hostiles come at you en-masse and chase your Manti back to the POS and then moan when you don't come out on your own and face their fleet of T3's, Hictors and Recon ships!

I LOVE people that camp our high sec. They never see the two Orcas warping to the hole from high sec and jumping through, followed by our fleet landing on where the high sec USED to be. Twisted

Oh that is just awesome.

C1-C3 are where I get attacked the most. Occasionally in a C4 if I don't pay attention to how many wormholes are moving through it, but since they're always second layer they tend to be a little "safer."

We live in a C2-highsec right now and just don't do any of the anomalies in the home wormhole; people come in and see 5-10 signatures and get greedy, yummy kills.

When i am solo hunting with no backup i find most targets in C1-3. All you do is get to HS, set destination to Jita and the closer you get the more noobs seem to farm them, really don't understand why but there is always someone in every second hole either farming a hole or hauling their junk.

I think C3 and down are deadlier FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HANG OUT IN THEM. The drakes they use for the local sleepers may be fine for pve but they are no match for the roving T3 gangs from C5/C6 space. The fights we get in C5/C6 holes are better, but the ganks are much more plentiful in the lower class holes.

You have the DPS to kill an orca in 60 seconds? Because that's how long you'll have to shoot it. While they're shooting you.

how does an orca get out of a hictor bubble camp in 60 seconds, pray?

assuming you aren't meaning by the camp getting wrecked, of course.

If a fleet lands on you after the wh you've been sitting on collapses, and you choose to shoot the Orca, you are going to lose that fight.

Bane, either you have a really bad memory, or you're a terrible liar Lol

We had some fun encounters quite a while ago.

First, where your fail-fleet attempted to jump us while we were attacking a POS:

The second encounter was in your very own system, where you attempted to catch us at the HS entrance:

Sadly, no orcas :(
