Missions & Complexes

Okay, now probably it will sound stupid, but let me ask...
How risky would be to find uninhabited C3, build a POS there, and build Nyx in there. Or maybe a couple.
Main idea is to dualbox C3 probably in full potencial - including mining roids and gas.
In risky I mean is there a big chance to get killed by random people who would visit it?
Futher more, is it possible to build a nyx in C3?
I'm pretty sure NPC would be not a problem with that kind of ship, I'm more concerned in PvP side.
Oh and one more thing - capital ships require fuel to perform jumps, right? Does that include normal wap-to-plex?

There is always the risk of being jumped in wh space. Nature of how it is there. You can build any capital you want in wh space to the best of my knowledge, we had a Thanatos in C2. Jump drive is to go from system to system not for travel within a system.

Are you sure about NPC not being a problem with that kind of ship? Hope you are right.

Would you even be able to jump a Nyx out of a c3?

Here is the Wormhole Resident's Guide to Capital Ships and You: Or, How not to Screw Up!

First and foremost, NO SUPERCAPS IN A WORMHOLE. Period. Capital Ship Assembly Arrays require Sov, and that's something will never happen in a hole.

Secondly, caps can only jump freely in and out of a c5 and c6. Anything lower and that ship will have to be built inside the hole, which is pretty much a waste of isk.

Third, people in wormhole space will try and murder you. Mostly because murder is fun.

Don't fly safe! <3

So indeed It's already been answered you simply can't do it and you cannot jump out of WH space.

But even if it was possible the sheer amount of cap parts or minerals to build the cap parts would be something you would not want to do. The logistics are just crazy for super cap amounts needed.

A normal carrier / dread is quite a pain in the butt.

A Nyx needs 2475 capital parts and each one is 10,000 M3 and you can fit 3 in to a full tricked out Iteron 5.

That adds upto 825 trips.

1650 WH jumps

Maybe you gotta fly numerous jumps to get your parts...

A logistical nightmare

hijacking thread! assuming i hate other people and really really want to be alone. is it a good idea to find a c5 with a c3 static and just sit there with a cloaked orca while cleaning the statics each day?

how much ISK and hauler space does it take to fuel a small tower? and how easy is it to tear one down?

Please never mention "small tower" and "wormhole" again, unless it's to say "Putting up a small tower in a wormhole is a terrible idea".

so is it medium or large? which one has the prospect to hold against your average gang?

Small, Med vs Large depends on what you are trying to protect. A small POS is fine if you understand that occasionally someone is going to reinforce the POS and possibly destroy it. In a C3 it's unlikely to last 6 months. In a C1 it will last longer, but with the tier 3 BC C1s are much less safe. (How safe is going to depend on your static. Systems with static HS connections are less safe for POSs as general rule.) This is fine if you are only using the small POS to store sleeper loot for a couple of days before transporting it to HS. Medium POS tend not to be worth it as they don't have the resources to field a good defense and do anything else. Most long term residents prefer the standard d*ckstar, lots of resists, or lots of ecm POS. If you aren't living in a system that allows dreads to easily transit a heavily defended POS is generally avoided unless you make yourself a target.


In general carriers aren't very good at soloing sleeper sites. Your fighters will have trouble hitting even the battleships without a lot of help. Plus sleepers eat drones for breakfast. Not to mention that you'll be massive target for even the most carebear of corps. (Even the average w-space miner wants a carrier killmail. ) It can work with a corp to back you up. Carriers tank sleeper spawns really well, and can rep BC, and HACs which are under tanked. With a good corp you can have people on all wormholes, and someone probing. A lot of C5-6 corps run their sites with Dreads, Carriers, and T3s, and a fair number of c1-4 corps have a carrier or 2 for running local sites and defense.


PS- Get a hanger array, and don't leave Orcas and carriers floating in the force field. You might think the display of a carrier would scare people off, but it tends to just give them dreams of a carrier killmail. Orcas make people think u are mining carebears.
