What you want then is a drake.. its cheap and can solo c3's. I would have said tengu, but you said too expensive to loose.. When you jump into a wh, go with the thought that you have just lost your ship and you will be podded.. otherwise don't jump in cause its going to happen.

I would recommend you completely scan out the J System with a t2 scanning frigate before committing a T3 to running sites alone in a WH. T3's can scan ok but the frigates are better and cheaper to lose. Once scanned, come back in a non-proby / cloakie ship. Having a scanning alt with you on these trips is ideal for a bunch of reasons. Orbiting the hole cloaked and probing for new sigs are the main ones.

That is exactly what I do and I created all sorts of bookmarks...the thing is that doing site in a drake seems to take forever. I dont know if is because I don't have maxed missiles. I am willing to put the ISK for a T3 at this time and have some to replace but I feel like I dont want to PVP with it. I just want to go in grab what I can of WH without being seen. Pretty much that is the whole idea. All this of course until I find a place to call home.

Your problem is the idea that solo in a wormhole will be more profitable, and fun. It isn't.

I agree but idk why is it so hard to convince people to join me in WH exploration even null sec people. It seems people don't like to try the unknown and to me WH are the best part of EvE and I feel I am missing it out.

Because living in a WH is a pain. I recently just started living in a pos in a c3, low sec static, and I can tell you that it isnt all peachy "lets go mine or gas harvest or run sleepers". It's a lot of prep work and cautious behavior, which isnt comfortable. People want to have fun, and WH space isnt fun all the time.

But, if you are willing to put in the work, you can make your wallet fat enough to spend on pvp ships, while making a plex.
Of course having a few buddies makes it that much sweeter, so a WH corp is nice. Just getting members is a ***** , for the sense that it is relatively dangerous all the time.

But **** that I need iskies for Pvp ships, been far to long since ive died in a fire, and the last death i had was so damn lame(stupid stations and their fitting restrictions). So yea its worth the pain of living there to make $$ on gas, artifacts, ore, PI, and get pew pew mobiles.

-edit- Tengu for pve, proteus for pvp, or you can toy around with the protues and make it work, sorta. -edit-

Oo you have a LOW sec static and you don't have fun ?oO

Maybe you're doing it wrong a schedule

Connect to the game >> get in a prober ship>> scan the exit and ladar and whatever.

Do 1 hour of gas harvesting ( i like this) do some anomalies in your Own hole maybe 2 or 3 no more.

Get you Pvp Alt and Go in LOW sec do some Noise or go in your other static do some noise

and if your have mates ... it's awesome.

Wormhole Life is just Awesome

CCP it's time to remove Off Grid Boost and Put Them on Killmail too, add Logi on killmails .... Open that damn door !!

you shall all bow and pray BoB

I totally sign this. Where else you'd just tackle a tengu straight away, batphone your corpmembers and have only like 5 battleships and battlecruisers warp-in!

Much better than k-space 25 man recon-blob coming in!

Who flies battleships in J-Space? That awkward moment when your escape route is a C1...

Get a proteus, Wait for people that are doing the PVe to start salvaging, when they almost finish gank their salvager.

1) Profit
2)Tears
3) Fun
