You can also offer to buy salvage at sub-jita prices if you are confident enough in your logistics. I'm sure some people will be happy to unload without leaving w-space.

Edited by: Hakuriu on 16/03/2009 08:27:31 The idea of "settling" a w-space system is for me one of the most exciting things to come along in Eve in a long time. My corp will be focusing on this and I look forward to meeting other like minded individuals and corps who are passionate about making this happen.
So, on that note, I've created a channel called "WSpace Colonists" - please join and use to share strategies, recruit, or cry for help as you stare lost into the void. Oh, and spread the word. :)

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.
I like that idea, a lot.

Originally by: Maekar Targaryen 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.
You make it sound like the POS did not go into reinforced mode.

Originally by: Maekar Targaryen 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.
LOL I highlighted the comedy gold in this...
So let me get this straight you went into WH to get some sleeper loot to make a mint off, instead you spent 2 hour+ lobbing what was probably Torpedos at a POS and hunting down the second POS.
I'm sorry to say you made the wrong choice. If you had enough firepower to down a POS you had enough to take on some sleepers. You said, you yourself said "Fear of losing our route home" so clearly the POS was a Major threat to your home system..
Congratulations for totally and unequivocally squandering your time in WH Space, mindlessly shooting at a defense POS with battleships and no resistance (Because we all know how much fun and enjoyment that is). At the same time collecting no reward what so ever, the amount of ammo you needed probably cost you several million ISK. YAY for negative profit gain destroying a zero threat target!

Sounds great! If you're thinking you wouldn't get visitors, all you need to do is scan out the exit wormhole every so often, then message a bunch of popular channels with details of the empire side of it.
You'll be Chribba famous before you know it, with folks popping by just to see "craaazy Ricdic and his POS of um...awesome...wormholy...mystery...ness" _________________________

No, I just found it a joke someone was gloating about a POS kill in WH space, when they could have actually done something exiting, new, and profitable.

From a purely trading point of view wouldn't it be better to have a large amount of stations all over new eden stocked with small amounts of w-space essentials? Then all a prospective customer would have to do is poke his pod out of the wh and and check the market for the nearest market hub branch. Once a close enough one is found then he will send out a hauler full of loot to contract off to an alt then grab the needed supplies and boogie on back. However the ops plan has merit if he wants to both trade and farm the system at the same time.

While this is enjoyable, how enjoyable is it to sit in one part of space for 2 hours lobbing torpedoes at a defenseless, resistance free POS, when your objective was originally to go get some sleeper drone loot??
That's some HORRIBLE Boring game play and you know it. Regardless of the outcome sitting for hours pressing a fire button every so often to continue to fire is boring game play.
While greifing someone can be enjoyable I highly doubt anyone in the "gang" actually really enjoyed themselves taking down the POS. It's not like they where under threat of attack. Put simply the same amount of time and effort put forth into say attack sleepers would have been more enjoyable.
Something new, something challenging, something they hadn't done before is by far more enjoyable to the mind numbing assault on a singular target with zero threat of retaliation!

Just like moast people don't get Goons you obviously don't get Griefers. They Live to ruin another persons game and the whole time they are doing it they will be cracking rude jokes over vent about the owner of the pos and giggling thier arses off. So yeah to you or me its no fun but to them its the entire reason for and point of thier eve existance.

A large Deathstar POS setup correctly and stronted would be near impossible to take down. Considering that even if a large enough force is brought to bear aginst it all they would accomplish is putting it into reinforced mode. Chances are that it will not come out of reinforced until after the exits have shifted. I doubt anyone is going to take the chance of having a cap fleet stranded in wh space just to "grief" someone.
This venture does sound like a very good idea. I wish you luck.

Who are you to say they didn't have more fun knocking down the POS than fighting sleepers? Maybe they actually did enjoy eh? Otherwise they probably wouldn't have a) done it, or b) posted that they enjoyed it.

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.
You need sovereignty, which you happen to be unable to get in w-space. Also motherships and titans cannot go through wormholes.

its all about possibilites and how often stuff happens, if think bigger corps might be a better proposition say 10-15 active peeps at any one time. Eventuall i can see alliances having w space support corps. But its tsill highly varilable , ccp planning for the future growth in player numbers i guess

Quote: Another question, is there ice in W-space? I've also heard the rats die down, once the first wormhole closes. Can someone confirm there are no moon materials in W-space?
(RicDic) No ice, no moon materials, I have seen the rats respawn in my cases I believe. Seems a very slow respawn timer but they do seem to come back eventually.
I have been running a POS test for 10 days now and have reported the W-space spawning issue to see if it is by design, consistent across w-space, etc. How long have you been stationed and to what extent have you seen sleeper site respawns? Mine have not respawned in nearly 5 days...
If the sleeper sites eventually respawn within a reasonable timeframe, then the POS test I have been running would prove out this model and I would be looking to maintain a POS presence.
Also, clearly the POS destruction in this thread was not stocked for reinforced mode - I would bet 1B ISK against the likelihood of getting enough mass into a WH, with sufficient ammo to take down a fortified POS...
(edit) Forgot to add: Yes, essential are Hangar Array, Ship Maint. Array, Refining Array as noted here.

Are you people so new to Eve, so naive or have you never left high sec to think this is such a good idea?
Lets look through your activities: - trade Since there are no station in WH space how do you expect to trade? The only way that comes to my mind is by using jet cans. Now even if you find someone that will agree to such trade there are following possibilities: a) both parties play it fair and exchange the goods at agreed rate. b) person A jettisons goods, person B scrambles, brings in fleet blows up and pods person A (lots of profit) c) person A gets blown up even before being able to jettison goods (bit less profit)
I'm sure all of you will choose option a)...
Renting a probing ship: a) Someone offers to scan a WH for you, you warp in to them to find: - a WH leading to safe space - a fleet waiting to kill you
b) Someone offers to sell you a probing ship: - you leave your ships and board the prober, your ship is left alone and waiting for you in space. - you leave your ship, but it turns out the probing ship is locked by someone and so is now your ship (bye bye ship, hello new clone)
Ohh and did I mention you'd have to pay for the probing ship first...
Someone comes into a WH saying he's got fuel for your pos: a) you go along the trading routes in first scenario b) you warp your indy to him just to get blown up c) you blow him up (or scram, web and jam and make him leave ship) and take the fuel for free.
And many other scenarios like this...which without a station and a safe "neutral ground" won't work, cause this is harsh, cold world, and the wormhole space is the harshest and the coldest of it all

I am not in it to set up a trade ops station like Ricdic, but rather a base of operations for constant export into K-space - check my link. I am simply trying to validate whether or not respawns occur in W-space after not seeing any thus far.

Anyone know if this will work?
