If you don't, a pair of alts camping both sides of the C2-C1 wormhole can catch you.<br /></i><br /><br />Cool - doesn't answer the question. How does this adversely impact your PI efficiency? and surely any impact is offset by the additional static to farm out?<br /><br />Further, you wouldn't have a C1, the point would be to have a C*-C2-HS chain. A C1 is a pointless exercise if you intend to make decent money.<br /><br />Also you are right you could be camped at both sides. Chances are this would only happen in an eviction situation as people don't like sitting around for HOURS on end waiting for you to do something. That and you should maintain hole control (or at least know what is going on with your hole). Cloaky alts sitting near a hole listening for activation would give you a clue - you don't even need to be watching that account, just listen for the activation sound. I lived in a C4-C2 for years and never once got caught in such a camp, and can count on one hand the number of times someone even bothered to try to catch me in one.<br /><br /><i><br />Also, evictions might not made because someone wants to move in. He can come for the loot or "just reinforcing stuff to get fights".</i><br /><br />Typically people might shoot a tower to RF it. They wont go down the full eviction road in a C4 "just for fights". If all they do is RF your tower then so what? If you are super worried, put all your valuables in an orca and log it off safely.<br /><br />Also don't build deathstars, build dickstars (ewar towers). People can't stand to take them down with subcaps..they are just not worth the trouble. A dickstar pos in a C4 blackhole is not getting RF'd in a hurry. And you'll make a stack more isk, esp if you are farming the static. So even if you were evicted you would be financially in a better position. Sure higher risk, much higher reward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-9342759003929901392013-12-27T18:43:58.752+01:002013-12-27T18:43:58.752+01:00If you have direct highsec exit, you can only be c...If you have direct highsec exit, you can only be caught by a really serious camp.

How does living in a higher wormhole with a static that is LIKELY to have k-space access reduce your PI income?<br /><br />Also you can easily get an orca in and out of a hole from a C2 as long as it isn't mass reduced when you do so.<br /><br />And you should always keep a scanner toon at home so you can find a way back in later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-7805524327281029822013-12-27T13:59:54.446+01:002013-12-27T13:59:54.446+01:00@anon: A c2 to c1 connection still has the c1 mas...@anon: A c2 to c1 connection still has the c1 mass limitation so you still can't use anything larger than a t1/t2 industrial.

Such orca outperforms a T1 industrial 3x for 100x higher price. It also collapses the hole in no time.<br /><br />@Smith: zombies do nothing. One checks for all kind of activities before calling "zombie". Also I did not say "ignore them", just "don't hunt them actively".<br /><br />C2s have 2-3x more ganks than C1s and much easier to evict someone due to bringing battleships.

Furthermore you would have wormholes that would support orcas rigged out for maximum hauling capacity. AND a second hole to farm.<br /><br />You are saving yourself a tiny bit of extra scanning to find a highsec exit (no more than a couple of minutes if you know what you are doing) and one extra jump and this is apparently going to put a dent in your PI efficiency? I don't get it... care to explain?<br /><br />Also for 100m isk/hr C1 sites are really not worth it. Seriously, move up to a C4 with a C2 static. You'll have almost the same highsec access and nobody will bother you because C4s are just pointless to fight in (especially if you live in a C4 blackhole).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-84542984257450414602013-12-27T11:41:03.978+01:002013-12-27T11:41:03.978+01:00You assume incorrectly - depending on what qualifi...You assume incorrectly - depending on what qualifies as a lowbie, of course.<br /><br />C1 Sleeper sites can be run with a single Drake.
