Just hop right in! Your lack of skillpoints can easily be compensated by using faction, or even better pirate BS instead of regular BS. I would also strongly suggest a faction Pos filled with Faction guns, to scare of potential attackers. Having a lot of carriers and dreadnaughts floating in the shields, even if you cannot fly them, will usually also scare away most people who might be otherwise inclined to attack you.
The sites in a C5 can be easily done solo in machariels or vindicators, just be sure to faction fit, or even officer fit these to maximise your income and decrease the time that it takes to run the side. Remember: The longer you are in the site, the better you can be attacked. Therefore, always faction fit your pirate BS for maximum damage.
Fly safe, and good luck in your wormhole endevours.



hehe, somehow my sarcasm detector has a bent needle now...

The corp I am looking to join is well established (from what I can tell) and has experienced (cap) pilots.

Really my main concern was that I am just sitting in the WH twiddling my thumbs if no one else is on. That questions has, at least in part been answered. I was / am just also a bit worried about my ability to contribute fully, given my lowish SP. Any particular skills (skillbooks) you would recommend for WH life. Exploration I have down pat..


ah i see, i thought you were moving into a wh with a new corp that is new to WHs.

joining an established corp with 10mil sp wont be an issue.
just make sure you know how they opperate fist and that you can take at least some part in their opperations and are willing to train up for the ships/methods they use



REALLY, REALLY make sure they run ops in your time-zone in your play window too. If they can't offer that you're just finding a really, really expensive tower to twiddle your thumbs in. C5s are honestly atrocious for soloing in any sort of "combat" oriented view. Find out what kind of static they have (is it a C3, or C2 by chance?) and if it is you've got a better chance at being able to do some solo work at off times.

If they don't operate in your time-zone, do NOT force it; no corp is worth it if you're sitting on the bench all the time. Finally; as a null-seccer, things are going to slow down a LOT for you when you transition to wormhole space. There's not going to be people bashing down your door every 10 seconds and you may not have fleets up 24 hours a day, and you won't always have something to do that's wormhole related. Just be aware of these things as possible "cons".

Very good points all. Thank you again. There is a C2 static, so i should be able to do some things... The concern about sitting and twiddling my thumbs is still there though as they are trying to build a EU TZ wing so to speak...

There are sites you can clear in battelcruisers in c5 and c6's.
Any non core ladar site as an example.
Also anoms in c2's in your chain.
The more pimp you can fly the harder sites you can do.
