Wormholes

Yes, but you forgot the part when you get scanned down and killed :P

I too have lived in wh nomadic style (c5>c5); few suggestions:

- 100mn ab > 100mn mwd

- Don't mine when in nomadic mode - you don't have space for itty 5 to transport ore and your orca starage will be full after 1-2h of mining; it's better to gas in cruiser if you must do other stuff than sleepers.

- Don't really need nullified tengu - buzzard with 2 warp stabs will do the same far cheaper (and it's good to haul sleeper loot to hs) also salvaging dessy in orca sma might be valuable.

Put one extra scan ship in sma, orca highs-> cloak, probe launcher and shield booster or just med neut lol.

Ultimately living solo nomadic style in wh is too boring. Long-term your well-being and wallet will be better off if you join good wh-corp.

How can a cloaky ship be scanned down? I will move into WH (from hi-sec) warp to SS and cloak. Maybe nomadic was wrong word. I meant by Nomadic, move in, live from out of my 'trailer/camper, which is the orca. I don't go cruising from hole to hole.

100mn MWD is to be able to warp off in 10 secs in the orca. How does the 100mn AB help me with that?

Interdiction nullified = only on the first T3 entering wormhole in case there is an HIC, warpbubble on the entrance. If there is one, the orca won't move in. Ship has cov-ops sub as well making it very safe (not 100% though) to warp off.

How is a buzzard going to help me clear sleeper sites? That is why I have the Tengu, which is purely for clearing sites.

I already said I'll put a Cov-Ops in the SMB, or do you mean put 2 scan ships in. One T3 will have sisters prober on it, one in SMB.

Mining is optional, just to fully utilize all the orca's cargo, 50k of Arkonor in ore hold before I leave back to Hi-sec.

Dessie over Noctis? Already put a salvaging ship in original post as ship in cargobay. Noctis will have a cloak on it in case something pops on D-scan. Thought about that indeed, any reason why I would take a dessie over the Noctis? Noctis is capable of salvaging faster imo, but I am open to this suggestion.

Orca high slots might bee adjusted indeed, put on prober just in case all fails.

And yes the ships not cloaked can be scanned down, and I might lose them.

Lol.

Stay in HighSec....

Care to elaborate? You didn't give any constructive comments so far.



Actually considered this option indeed. Take a small pos, put it up, clear sites and when ready to move out take it down (or just leave it for the locals to take it down)

Thanks for the link. I'll rethink some things a little (dropping the Scouting T3 for a Grim, as I have Recon V within 2 days).

Will also consider the POS thing. Because that would make me a little more versatile if I find 'filled' up wormholes that can't be cleared very fast.

LordSpock, your plan is flawless. Pay no attention to these trolls. Get out their with your ships and start making the ISKies. It's time to get space-rich!!!

Sometimes people want/need to learn the hard way. All the credit to you for going for it, it will be tough and you probably wont do it for long but that thread that was posted has great tips I remember reading that before. Good luck, if you get sick of it dont quit WHs look for a wh corp :)

edit: oh and gangnam style best style

Consider why you're doing this. If you want to stay in contact with k-space and with others, then don't send an Orca into the hole: anchor a GSC or smaller in a safe spot, send your combat/gassing and salvaging/hacking/analyzing crew in, leave the Orca pilot instead cloaked on a hole to act as an warning scout. Don't send anything more valuable into the hole than you can. Use CovOps frigates for scanning, and cloaky hauler to pick up your loot when you're finished. Save the Orca for hauling massive amounts of loot to a trade hub and relocating efficiently. This is called daytripping, and there's a thread with tips and suggestions.


If you want to maximise your w-space profit and don't care about seclusion and isolation from others, then live out of your Orca and give up the notion of going back to k-space all the time. You will have a cloaky hauler to trade with k-space, salvage/hacking/analyzing destroyer, gassing Maller, couple of CovOps frigates, and a combat ship. Again, minimize your expense to just what you need. You're there for profit, not to make a bling statement.

When you finish one hole, scout out a new one, jump in and check it out. When you're satisfied and have made safe spots, log the second scout off, log the Orca on, and jump in. Bring in the second scout when the Orca is happy. You don't need a lot of fancy ships, and you should be prepared to economize when necessary as cargo space is your limiting factor. This is the nomad experience; there is another thread that may have already been linked.


If you try to mix the nomad life with constantly jumping your Orca out to Hisec, you'll lose profit potential AND make yourself a much bigger target than you otherwise might be. Those of us who hunt others like you will be happy, but it's not the best idea for your bottom line.

(If you plan to PvP, you'll need to change things up a little, but from the conversation so far, that doesn't sound like part of the goal)


If you DO do this, and find it profitable, please encourage others to do it as well. More targets are always a good thing out here ;)

/me had to look up Oregon trail.

Realistically, my plan is not purely making ISK. It is a great benefit that comes with the 'adventures' of flying the WHS, killing sleepers, and doing more than just checking local for safety which I do when I do low-sec exploration.
It is the unknown and the fact you never know what salvage will be dropped (like low-sec exploration has with overseeers/factiondrops).

I'll look up Talocan and see what I can gather on intel, although I think I still need to see discover and find out the hard way myself.
