Hello all. Returned from a very long inactivity of about 16-17 months, and now I want to do wormholes! Ive been looking at the stickied topics, but I find they don't answer all my questions! Or I am very bad at looking... ANYWAYS!

If I want to start doing wormholes (AKA living in them) what sort of skills do I need to train? My toon is mostly combat oriented, almost able to T2 fit my Maelstrom battleship.

If I'm going to solo, is my Maelstrom a good enough ship to do C2 or do I stick to C1?

Can I make enough isk off of just sleeper bounties or do I have to train up in order to harvest the different sites in order to make good monies?

Also, if someone could point me to some information about POSs, that would be nice. I have no idea about them. Thank you ^^

Firstly, welcome to the wormhole community.

You were on the right track. If you go back to the Notable Wormhole thread, at the top of the subforum, the "Notable websites" has fundamentals info and much more. I'd say give that a study :)

Good luck!

Yes, welcome to the best part of EVE. Find some local channels, join them and ask questions. Adhocracy has a lot of short videos out there that are very helpful.

I would also suggest joining a corp/alliance rather then soloing. There is a good number of small entities you could join if you wished to stay small. Living in WSpace solo would personally burn me out right quick.

Just a generalization of class of wh and ships needed to run sites.

C1= cruisers, hacs, afs
C2= battlecruiser, hacs
C3= T3, battleship
C4= RR battleships, shiny T3, rr tengus, marauders
C5= marauders, rr battleships, rr tengus, caps+loki
C6= Mostly the same as C5

Relic/data sites and about one half step or whole step harder than the class they spawn in.

You will need salvage 3-4 and 3 rigs to salvage all sleepers. I suggest a salvage thrasher or similar over a notics. Most of the isk in C1 sites is in ribbons, about half of it in C2 is blue tags and the other half ribbons. The higher classes are mostly about the tags, but the salvage is important too.

You should really look into joining a good wormhole corp, they will help you out tons.

If you do go solo a drake or other bc is best, very cheap for when you die. And you will die, ganks are bob's will.
