Wormholes

Hi all,

Currently live in C3 with a low sec static - just me and my alts. Yeh unsociable but I like it....

I fancy getting a bit more unsociable though.

I'm thinking of relocating somewhere deeper into WH ie C4/C5/C6.

My chars can fly - carriers / dreads / all T3s / all BSs / Orca etc....basically everything.

Assuming a complete disregard for human contact etc, whats the furthest I can push WH space with just 2 characters and a POS.

I've seen jewtube vids of some guy soloing C5 sites in a Vargur, is a move for 2 accounts to a C4/C5 viable?

I await your learned replies.

and make sure it's a black hole. I mean if you are going full r tard on this make sure it is as abysmal as possible

You'll find you might be talking to your alts like if they were other people and answering for them.

BTDT and would recommend sticking with a decent C3. IMHO it is the best return on time and effort for solo / semi-solo w-space PvE, and provides decent access to empire space if you need to get there for something else.

C4 sites are not too difficult to solo and it's also do-able in C5s (not the capital escalations of course). In C5 the ladar sites also start taking a significant upwards step in value. The thing is, however, that with your small numbers it becomes disproportionately slow to complete the sites, so your isk-per-whatever ends up being less.

I never tried capital escalations in the C5 that I lived in for a while.

The logistics effort for C4 / C5 / C6 is also proportionately more complex, you are pretty well always hopping out to empire space via a C2 or C1 at best (altho I keep hearing rumours of a roaming hisec-C4 WH) .

Of course, if you're wanting to go deeper for other reasons, then it is entirely achievable and I'd suggest doing it stepwise ... C4 first and then, if you're up to that, finding a C5.

How can you stutter in a chat window is beyond me..

Easy like, like this.

I would advise against this route.

You have a 3B static that you have to collapse with subcapitals by yourself using Orcas and Battleships.

major pain in the arse, will take a long time, people will see you do it.. kill your orca..

etc.

stick to c4 -c3, or c4-c4

Let's put it this way: putting an orca through a c4-c5 connection with the intent of collapse is like throwing a hotdog down a hallway.

...Filled with starving rabid dogs.

The point is, if you went to say a C4-C3 hole, your static would be a 2 bill mass total, requiring only about 8 Orca passes (4 round trips), and any residents of the C3 would tend to be slightly more hesitant to jump you. After all, you are from one of those "scary" C4s.
Having a C5 static means that you need 4 more Orca passes (2 roundtrips), which takes longer, giving the residents of said C5 more time to react. And, they are more likely to see you as a target rather than a threat, since you are coming from one of those "wimpy" c4s.
It's just general psychological tendencies. Obviously not universal, but there is a natural tendency to view residents from a Cx as more or less dangerous, depending on the value of x relative to me.

Where are you getting this info? C5s/C6s have plenty of k-space connections, including high sec and low sec exits. Plus the fact that you can move a freighter through those connection makes logisitcs of c5s/c6s so much easier then of the lower class w-space.
