Hey guys, been thinking about building a few capital ships in a WH, in terms of costs, what's the best large pos that would be cheap on fuel and has the ability to provide a solid defense? What types of weapon setups to you recommend? I would be building things such as freighters, and carriers, would an X large assembly array make the pos a juicy target?

Industry in a wormhole is a bad idea.

Been there. Done that.

If you insist on taking unnecessary risk, then a Minmatar tower would be my choice for industry (best all-around tower), but ammo volume can be an issue (hence Amarr are more common in w-space).

Keeping a small presence is recommended. Example: We had an X-L and a SMA, nothing else (other than hardeners and defenses of course), and logged-out in our capitals. Labs are a big target.

Don't, unless you are in a C 1-4 hole and so can't bring caps in, in which case use a caldari large with as much ecm as you can cram on. Note this is really just for producing caps for home defence/farming in c1-4 holes, which cannot spawn any incoming or outgoing WH's that permit capitals.

Come Crius, the Thukker array will force the only cost effect method of capital construction to be in lowsec where the 10% Material reduction can be used.

NOTE: THUKKER ARRAY CANNOT BE USED IN WH/O.O
