Wormholes

Hi

The idea is to live in a wormhole. I got this sidden urge to try wormholes for the past few weeks, i am not able to shake it off. So help me wh dudes.

I am not much into pve, all my mains live in null. I usually do anoms or 10/10s for isk and forget it until i run dry.

Keeping that in mind, how good will a c3 with a HS static be? My friend wants to do mining and pi. I want to run the sites solo or dual box them for isk.

My question is, since its hisec static (meaning i dont have a static to farm) will the sites spawning in a C3 be enough to make decent isk?

If i am putting up a large minnie tower with all hardeners setup (I need only a corp hanger and ship hanger) is there a risk of it being taken down?

Also, I am guessing other than building caps in the hole, there is no way enemies can smuggle dreads in?

EDIT: As a bonus, I will give all my votes for whomever the dude giving me the answer tells me to :)

So that brings me to the next question, which is a good static to get?

From the topics and general reading I got the idea that, as a home base, C3 is very easily defended, a C4 is good enough since they cant bring in caps (or can they?).

If thats the case, assuming i get a C3 home, which static will be good for pve content? (solo or dual boxing - doesnt matter about the ships, i can fly them all with good skills) I am guessing a C4 or C3 or C2 static will be decent?

Also i think most of them will be taken already?

C3 is probably optimal. C2 works but they get a lot of traffic and make a bit less ISK. C3 is considerably harder though, but still fairly easily soloable with a halfway decent fit. C4 are really hard to solo, and even if you manage to do it, C4 sites would be so slow to clear that rolling a C3 static would make much more ISK on average.

As a home system C4's are ridiculously safe, since they never get direct K-space connections, so bringing in and supporting an invading subcap fleet can be unpleasant and since you can not bring capitals in from C5 or C6 wormholes either, no one bothers.

There is a wormhole sales website. I used it and it went smoothly.

Firstly congrats on making the decision to move into WH space. Be prepared for it to gather all of your attention. If there are just 2 of you things are more difficult obviously. If you live in a C4 you are less likely for someone to want to take down your POS. There are PLENTY of other C4s out there and it's not like yours is special. In a C1,C2,C3 someone might want your system and you typically need to have a tougher defense. If our corp grew to the strength where we could hold a C2 static C4 we would because the logistics of having a HS exit would make things tremendously easier.

Logistics: Three days in a row last week we had a chain that looked like this C6-C4-C4-C4-C4-C6. Not once, but THREE DAYS IN A ROW. I thought I was in bizarro world. It happens so you better have everything you need because you do not want to be "target" going down that chain. That doesnt even include the multiple K162's coming from other systems. It was actually fun if you wanted to PVP since there was a lot of traffic. On days like that it's like Christmas and everyone and their mom is travelling through your house. You either PvP or go play something else. In a C1,C2,C3 you'll always have traffic. If it's just you trying to move fuel or supplies in, you will get ganked.

We moved into a C4 static C1 because in my initial research I read that was the least likely to be invaded. I wish we had moved into a C4 static C2 or C3 instead because the C4 static C1 really was pretty ******. You will be safe in any C4 unless you really **** someone off or there is an incredibly bored alliance and you just happen to win the lottery. I doubt that'd happen though.

Shoot for a C4 static C2 or static C3. You'll be in a relatively safe home system and can dive into the static for some ISK making or pvp. We never got ganked in our static C1 but we were overly cautious (eyes on everything and only when there weren't any K162s at home or static) but even then I'd attribute plenty of that to being lucky.

Trust me when I say there is almost always someone watching...probably for hours.

Sell Forums. Keep scrolling down.

Why not make it a large with hardeners...more a PITA and not that much different in terms of cost/volume.

Bob says, "Thou shalt put onlined guns on your PoS".

Why?

Because like everything else in EvE, if you don't secure it, someone, somewhere will come and try and take your stuff or push your sandcastle over.

More to the point. If you don't put guns on your PoS, I may come and reinforce it for you. Out of the kindness of my steely black heart. If someone like myself should find your PoS in the same undefended state it was in when I rolled through a month earlier. I may just camp out and see what juicy tidbits you leave in your SMA's.

Seriously. Put guns on your PoS.

C3's see a lot of traffic. Good if you like PvP, not so good when you're trying to make some money. I would shoot for a c4 with a c3 static. C4's are a wasteland pretty much, your PoS should be relatively safe if you're doing the solo thing. You may get the occasional Wormhole Superhighway with no K-space statics.

Thank you, i dint think that way. Ofcourse, i planned to have guns anchored and offline incase of a siege. Say, would a disruptor or a neut onlined would discourage such lone visitors?

I'd reccomend in wormhole space always putting up a decently setup large POS. While having hardeners anchored isn't a bad idea I'm personally of the opinion a strong offense is a better defence and go with online active modules in their place.

As in a C3-4 your unlikely to encounter hostile capitals used against you I'd go fairly ECM heavy with atleast 4 disruptor/scrams and a good compliment of medium batteries plus some token smalls for popping scanning frigs, etc.

Guys i am almost settled on getting a minmatar large since it seems to have a good cpu/pg mix. Is it a good idea?

What about the med guns on it? Should i go arty or AC? I mean even the pos guns will be affected by things like transversal or no?
