To start I'm 100% interested in pvping in wormholes. If I did any sort of industry, it'd be doing pi running factory planets. I'm wondering what some of you would recommend for hunting. I will admit, due to my playtimes (shift work) and lack of friends (forever alone) I don't know of anyone to hook up with to participate in this with.
I am just shooting in the dark here but I figure that living in a low class wormhole with a highsec static would provide ideal content. My reasoning comes from assuming there'd be a lot of traffic from people wanting to come in for day tripping as well as people passing through seeking a way to haul their loot to a trade hub.
What would some of you suggest? |

What would some of you suggest? A C2 with both a Highsec and some WH static.
Your reasoning is sound. The highsec brings more trouble than it is worth, but because trouble is what you are after, it is the right choice for you. |

Pretty much that. Don't expect people to just waltz into you. You'll have to scan, a lot.
You probably should consider day tripping. Less management especially if your alone.
Yaay!!!!

I disagree, pretty sure a C4 with a lowsec static is what would bring you most fun/pvp action. (and the PI is amazing) Lowsec inhabs hate the WHs...they usually auto rage roll a k162 that pops up (especially if you pop out and say hi)...there is your opportunity ;)
Hisec statics are hit and miss...they can and do bring visitors, but not as reliably as a lowsec...and the lowsec will bring choice targets :) |

P.S. You could also stash a cyno ship in the C4 and launch attacks in K-space with capitals?...*see "PI is amazing" :)
Just some thoughts.... I'd be hesitant to live in a c4 mainly because of the larger mass allowed. I know if someone wants your pos dead, it can happen. I don't plan on making myself look like a threat or an opportunity to make good ISK off of, but allowing larger ships in increases the chances of that happening I would imagine.
Thanks for the input and advice so far! |

It is truly my pleasure to speak, and be heard :) You are most welcome.... I guess the "solo" nature of your endeavour does in fact make a lower class with a hisec static your best bet. I just watched a C4 like I described go from unoccupied, to a fully loaded faction tower before my eyes...so somebody was listening then :D If the money/people were there then that's what I'd do...but for solo fun, you know what to do ;)
P.S. Whatever you do, remember, POS changes are coming the 17th I believe...aimed at fixing POS security risks, so don't decide till then my friend :) |

OP, you should live in a C2 with HS and a C1, C3 or C4 static. Alternatively, if you want better wspace access, live in a C4 with a C1-3 static and something else. You'll still have plenty of kspace access though your low class static.
PS: mass on C4s and C2s is identical.

This is pretty much spot on. My personal preference is on the C4/C4/C1-3 type of WH. But I prefer being able to roam long chains in WH space. Having been in a C2/C3/HS unless you got lucky with random incoming WH's your chains were basically tiny. But that is a matter of personal preference.
IMO you are at greater risk of eviction from a C2 than a C4, mostly because C2's are generally more popular. |

PS: mass on C4s and C2s is identical. Thanks in correcting me on wh masses. I guess if I'm not living in a c1 I might as well search for a c4. I'm not experienced enough nor confident enough to take on a small gang while solo. Obviously I need to do more self-educating but from what I read, people are looking to daytrip in c1-c3s in a cruiser or t3.
Since I will be embarking in this by myself, I plan to make good use of my 2 alt accounts. I have my primary alt in a boosting proteus with maximum scanning skills. He will be able to provide cloaky warpins. My immediate plan is to get him into command ships and then maybe fast tackle / hics. My second alt is training straight for a falcon, then into logi 5.
Thoughts and opinions on my alts and their capabilities to assist my main? Anything glaringly obvious that I would want for this endeavor that I may overlook?
Again, thanks for the input and help. |

The mass allowed in a C4 is enough for about 7 battleships, or 15 if they don't mind collapsing the hole, or about 150 T3's. A capital ship cannot fit. If somebody wants to take out your pos, they will, but pos bashing is boring and you can make it worse by building your pos as a deathstar.
That said, if you want pvp, a c4 is not the right way to go. Traffic is low. A C2 with hs and another wh is probably best, or possibly a ls.
Good luck, and may you sacrifice many unwary travelers to bob! |

Good luck, and may you sacrifice many unwary travelers to bob! Thanks for the info. I spent about two hours tonight roaming through wormholes trying to see if I could find anything that met my standards. Wandered through a large chain of c2 - c3 where I ended up easing back home after being chased off by a stratios. Shame on me for not having my main there.
I've been messing around on the pos builder website and have got a "d1ckstar" put together. I think that if I'm not around to manually defend it or until I have enough alst to sit in the guns, I'm better off with something that will be more of a nuisance to the average passerby. I found a video showcasing an interesting method of anchoring your batteries in a hedgehog or pin cushion design. It looks very intimidating.
I will probably end up doing a little day tripping for pvp just to test the waters while I get more comfortable and accustomed to wh life. I need to read up on what the most recent changes were for wormholes as well as what is supposedly changing with pos stuff. I've done quite a bit in eve and wormholes is probably the area that requires the most research and preparation. |

Good idea. Perhaps also spend the time traveling the c2 highway (C2 holes with C2 statics) and search for your 'perfect' home wh. It will give you lots of practice with scanning which is so critical in wh's.
Also, unless you plan on camping the hisec exit, there's an art to catching wholers unawares using probes. Practice trying to get their location nailed using just the dscan, and if you can get it close enough, then you can often lock their position with a single scan of the combat probes. If you are quick, they maybe won't see your probes and you can get the jump on them.
Good luck!

I'm recruiting myself, I hold a C3 Wormhole, Literally just mine at the moment, Low sec statiic too and I do indeed intend to pop out to Low and get the good fight, However since I was setting my POS up last night then I didn't get round to any fighting.
If you're interested hit me up
Also the POS is in the process of being turned into a full on Dickstar when I'm not running my labs

Thinking about pos setups... The first corp I was ever in lived in a c4 for a few weeks. They let me come in, and of course all I could fly was a retriever. They had a mixture of large, medium, and small bubbles anchored around their pos but had intentionally left a tiny crack between one where you could warp Ito the pos shields. To do so you obviously have to use a bounce before warping to the pos. I never thought to ask them, but what purpose does that really serve? Is there any tactical or psychological advantage to bubbling your own pos? |

Is there any tactical or psychological advantage to bubbling your own pos? Some people set up a bubble trap by placing a drag bubble so that if a scout warps to it from a celestial, they may get drawn to the bubble and decloaked by the POS defense modules anchored at the edge of the bubble. An alert scout is very likely to escape, but it can kill people who for example warp while scanning signatures.
Bubbling your entire POS sounds like a bit of an overkill. |

Full Metal Jackie, I just went through a similar process myself - so I have some tips, but with the caveat that I'm still learning myself:
(1) On POS set up, jammers are good, but much of the advice suggesting you prioritize them while building a "d1ckstar" is out of date. We're living in the age of drones - if you don't ALSO have a bevy of guns, your POS is exceedingly vulnerable to ishtar and/or dominix fleets. On a related note, advice about POS resistances is also out of date - resist modules suffer from stacking penalties, so there's no point to fitting more than 2 or 3 of any given type.
(2) On location, I've found C4s to be quite quiet and often unoccupied, while C2s with a hisec connection are almost 100% occupied (the last one I found empty, amusingly enough, had a C4 static...). I've also noticed C4s seem to have many fewer random connections to K-space than other wormholes - I find holes to null regularly in C5s and holes to all classes of space regularly in C2/C3s, but C4s seem disproportionately connected to wormholes. If you're planning to hunt elsewhere anyway, low traffic in your home hole might not be the end of the world. Blowing up herons gets old fast. |

Good info for sure. +1 Furthermore Jackie, if a venus fly trap is what you want, make sure to look at the anoms too...that's your bait.
If you have all the sites scanned down you can binary dscan (using only dscan, probe scan (for anom listings no probes out), and your overview set to planets/warpables) to find them and have a scout get eyes on em and pounce without a single probe deployed.
The amusement even when you're a %100 passive insta-warper is real...it's hilarious to mess with peoples heads in clever ways

Prepare to be hated....but, you can sleep in there, make numerous safes, jump around reload probes, mess with them, leave probes out...find the hisec and BM it. Move probes around...just confuse the **** out of them...then when bored of that, go out the hisec and broadcast their hole :D Over and over...that may work....**** move tho
P.S. Don't get on my list My maps never get deleted...I will find you.... |

(do this same thing on gates when blockade breaking) Found a hole that met all my requirements, but the locals had small towers anchored on each moon. Good way to c*** block smaller corps and solo'ers from setting up shop in there.
I don't mind being hated. I actually prefer playing the villain in most cases.

We are looking for active WH PvPers.
We live in K-space and dive into holes around the area.
We also have a WH with a static LS where PI can be setup / sites to be run.
We are mainly EU based but have a few US peeps. Let me know if interested. |

C2 as the home system is not so useful if you hope to kill the explorers coming from hisec. You will only catch the really dumb ones, because everyone can easily see from the killboard that you live and regularly kill in that system. Then they watch-list you, see that you are online, and it's clear that you are just waiting for them to warp into a site.
Much better is a c4 that has a c2 static, plus a c1 or c3. That way you will also always have access to a c2 and/or c1, but it will be every day a different one so people cannot expect you there.
Security is not lower in a c4 than in a c2, if anything it's higher because for invaders it would be additional hassle to manage logistics into a c4 instead of a c2 with constant easy hisec connection. There are enough empty c4s so the chances that a big corp will come to take your space are miniscule unless you claimed a system with a rare and coveted combination of statics and system effect.
It is however quite likely that one day another solo or very small corp will set up a tower in your system because they think you are no threat. Then it's up to you to prove them wrong. In such situations, it is usually not feasible for either side to destroy the opponent's POS. Instead, you should just camp and harass them until they realize their mistake and retreat. Most such corps are bears so they will pack and leave after you have killed them a couple times. It's of course important to suspend your own bearing ops to not give them kills.

I don't mind being hated. I actually prefer playing the villain in most cases.
Small anchored towers only take an acceptable amount of time to siege with even a single AFK-oracle.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Is there some website that breaks down kills according to wh classification? It would be interesting to see some statistics on that. |
