Awesome idea, Ricdic. Especially about the exiting in the pod and having an alt come to you. The distance may be a limiting factor, but with time and patience I'm sure you could pull it off.
I had thought about this myself for the same reason, but the logistics was my biggest obstacle.
GL and hope to see chain stores soon!

Getting podded would/should be a major concern. If you are podded, you may not know how to get back to your POS.

Sounds like an excellent idea. If you set up a 'w-space pos kit' service, count me in as a customer! I'd love to have an alt who runs a 'general store' in w-space.

Must be that, as somebody who plan to live in W-space certainly would not be so stupid to make solid estimations on profit when there aren't any real isk faucets in W-space, and profits has to come from items that have to go through a long production process before being of any real interest for buyers on the market. And even then it isn't guaranteed what buyers will pay for the items. ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute

And even then is it up to the market forces to determine what buyers will pay for the items.
And not only that, you have to get them back to the market. That will probably require a freighter to move any significant amount and all that mass will destabilize the wormhole. fun stuff

I highly doubt that, someone who is making that kind of money isn't going to jeopardize their operation by bragging about it on the forums, even if it is with an alt.

You could always have an alt trained up for probes that never leaves the POS unless you get podded. That way you can go and find your front door again. -----------------------------------------------

Cap 800s is what most players will find themselves short on rather quick i bet :). And if its true rats go to sleep with no open wormhole, then mining is just the thing to keep your busy til the next hole opens up.

If ONLY POSes could be fitted with Remote Armor/Hull repair arrays. That would be awesome, you go up to the device and interface with it, it gives you a bill and you can choose to pay or not. If you pay it, it starts the remote repair process.
A POS in WH space would need an several Corp hanger, and probably an ammo array with BPOs, (I was going to say Drone array too but just 500each of the popular drone would do don't forget logistic drones). A ship maintenance bay, a Hulk, a logistics ships (Repair service), covert ops with full probe ability (Probe out sites and sell the locations/BMs), a re processor, a Ammo array, Months worth of fuel, lots of guns and hardeners. Lots of cans scattered around the place. While you're at it see if it a moon has any worth while minerals and mine it is so. Might as well make the most out of it.
I would bet one freighter load would hold it all. You'd be gambling upward of 2b ISK, so you'd also want to make sure you could recover that 2b ISK. Just keep harvesting the sleepers until your freighter is full of junk, wait, wait until you score a highsec worm hole back. Abandon everything left behind... keep the BM to the POS though in case you find yourself back there again.

Very cool idea :)! I had thought it would be a fun challenge to setup a POS in a wormhole, with a small corp and see how long you could survive with minimal outside contact. Best of luck with your endeavour!

It's similar to mine but not the same one. Mine was named "Free To Good Home" and was piloted by this character Ricdic. Similar setup except I was using 2 heavy neutralisers in high all power diag + 1 damage control in low, and CCC rigs.
I look forward to seeing when one finds my old Raven |

I've considered doing this myself. Orcas might be helpful for logistics also, as they can hold up to 100K + 40K m3 of cargo space, along with a modest ship maintenance hangar. How many times can an Orca go through a typical wormhole before it pops?

What would also be nice is a "Lost in the WH" chat channel, which could let pilots stuck in a wormhole spam their location and advertise payment for exit co-ordinates if someone finds their w-space locus. This might make things a little more renumerative for probers, and make the mini-profession pay...

You could always have an alt trained up for probes that never leaves the POS unless you get podded. That way you can go and find your front door again.
There is also the option of building a Capital Ship Array and building yourself a mothership. Load it up with clone vats, park it in a pos shield, set your clone, go off and do other stuff. Done.
Apparently quite a few people have wanted to take a shot at living in W space. Heck, I've thought about it myself. But you WILL need a corp of like-minded individuals to make it work. it's not really doable alone.
Oh, and regarding someone attacking a POS, a wormhole doesn't have enough mass to support a fleet. It would literally take DAYS to amass a fleet large enough to take out a POS. A SINGLE mom will pop a wormhole, and you won't be able to get even a quarter of the amount of BSes through needed to pop a POS without a mom. Yes, it can be done, but the effort required would make it laughably difficult.
W space may be the one place in EVE that a small dedicated corp can set up outside of Empire and be totally free of Alliance interference. ---- Fix the Wardec System! |

Incorrect.
For one, you can't bring supercaps through wormholes.
Also I have seen wormholes still claiming to not have their stability affected after large battleship/capship fleets have gone through. So, no its actually not that hard to amass enough of a fleet to rip down a POS in W space.
Furthermore, even if they only manage to bring a handful of ships in before a wormhole collapses, Knocking down a POS that does not have a fleet on hand to defend it, is child's play.

actually, this would be a time for CCP to make a new POS mod. A Market Module for a POS that would sit just outside the shields, and allow a local market of say 1000 items.
If someone opened up the market window in a WH, they'd see a listing of the goods at this module that are up for sale.
The POS would have to have the agression set to on agressive act only though before that mod was anchored.

My corp mates and I encountered a small group of minmatar militia trying to run a POS in a w-space system connected to our home system. We went in with a small fleet to kill some sleepers, and I found 2 small minmatar control towers on the directional scan. a few minutes of searching later we found one guy sitting in his pos, a corp hangar and a ship maintanence array, no defenses.....
So, being the jerks that we are, we scrambled about 5 battleships and assorted other smaller ships, and blew up the tower in a little over 2 hours, quite possibly the first POS kill in W-space. To their credit, the minnie militia corp got a hauler to clean out the hangar, and popped one of our cov-ops ships that got careless.
We checked out the other POS in the system, but couldn't do much too it do to downtime/fear of losing our route home. Same ultra minimalist setup, but different corp. We'd have to leave knocking it down to someone else.
Very fun day all around.

I love the idea, and while it may not be practical or feasible, there is no way to know for certain until you try. If you standardize on "first moon of first planet" or "last moon of last planet", then people could more easily find you.

Aye, seems like wormholes don't last very long (a day or so) no matter if you use it or not.
A W-space POS should be filled with Stront. That would would force any potential aggressor to find another route home and make the whole ordeal even more bothersome to him. (Why can't we just be friends?) ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute
