So far all of your advise in this thread has been just bad. You should just stop. You've even admitted you haven't even run C3 sites in forever. And not since the neut change.


Advising someone to run c3s solo is the original bad piece of advice. You should stop being a scrub. I've ran them since the neut change, but not since the cap battery change - I use fully passive ships when not cap escalating anyways.

I personally have solo'd c3s in a Hyperion, without issues. The guy above me must suck with drone skills. His domi fit is going to get him killed someday, far sooner than using the Hyperion.


I don't see many in this thread advising anyone to run solo. The OP asked about ships that can solo. I even linked a KM to show a fit that CAN run solo fine, but also to illustrate it is a gank waiting to happen. learn2read.

You must not know Roime. I'm sure his drone skills are fine. And he can afford to lose that domi. You could lose 2 of those domis for the price of 1.5 Hyperion hulls.

And there is no need for a fully passive fit in a C3 or a C4 for that matter.


I don't think anyone soloing c3s is hurt by the isk loss as a result of a gank, perhaps the KM though.



You say this while in your previous post call someone a scrub for answering a simple question posed by OP about sololing C3 content, and then in that very same post wave your e-peen about soloing C3 content in a hyperion. So...you're the scrub? I can't even figure out what you are trying to say or prove. I'll just remind you no one is ever impressed by e-peen waving.

I've killed many ships worth far more than that doing all kinds of weird **** in c3s and lower.

It's true that running sites really alone in any wormhole is unadvisable, but standard safety precautions were outside the scope of this thread. FWIW I ran my first C3s two years ago and I feel quite confident in this environment.

Thanks for your concerns about my drone skills, I do indeed have a few still at IV, haven't bothered maxing the non-Gallente specs.

Engineering a Gallente T1 C3 solo ship is just a pet project of mine, I don't accept the status quo of "Drake/T3 or go home" and I'm determined to make it work. Currently I regard a sentry Domi massively better for C3s (RR Domi pair + Rapier is pretty much the holy grail of C3s as what comes to efficiency) than a Hyperion, which suffers from damage projection issues along with weak drones.

You can solo C3 anomalies in many ships, including tengu and legion. These are the most common way but not the only ones. If you have the money and the balls, grab the "big boys". No tengu or legion can finish sites as fast as a Machariel or Vargur, but you can make a try with other marauders and pirate/faction battleships too. Of course these ships are expensive (if you can't pimp them, dont fly them), but flying these are a lot of fun and you can make isk faster.

How much time does it takes you to do each anomaly?
(its being so long that I forgot their names :) )

It took 20 minutes to do Outposts, pretty much the same as a solo Tengu. I'll post more experiences when I continue with testing.

You can easily fit a 100MN afterburner on a legion, anyone ever try sites that way? To maintain decent speed under webs, or to get into orbit around a sleeper BS and avoid most of the DPS on the field. I realize this is what the HAM subsystem is more suited to but I want to see if one could at least attempt to do it with pulse, and just turn off the AB when needed. I'd go and test it myself but the test server still hasn't mirrored.

Rokh actually is doable as well, it can tank the sites passively even.

I would love to see your fit. Rokh has a special place in my heart.

The best bet is to run in groups. It's a lot more fun and less chances of you being ganked.

I use Tengus but the other day I was observing a Legion running C3 sites solo and he was clearing them fast. I was impressed. I don't know his fit but I couldn't have done it faster in my Tengu.

I'd personally recommend a T3 cruiser, for survivalbility and ability to clear the sites relatively fast. I can be done in lesser ships, but it can take a while!

Though my biggest advice is to make sure to stay alligned. Those combat sites can be scanned down just using the ship scanner, and the patient pirate will warp between them in a covert ship till he finds you, giving you no-warning of his presence from probes or ships on the D-scanner. The only chance you have to catch him there is the short window when he firsts jumps into the hole.

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.

It's much easier than that. All you have to do is use your system map and a 5 degree dscan aligned to the anoms and you'll find them in seconds.
