I have a large industrial background and I dabble in FW. A few years ago when I was really active I had a blast in FW but now I struggle to find a fight as everybody just farms LP and avoids fights or only want’s to fight as a group vs 1 guy. I recently gathered around 2 million LP with a T1 frig and the only fight I got was an awoxer that tried to kill me. I’m more or less done with FW now. The lack of pvp has ruined FW.

I have decided to go back to my roots in industry but I don’t want to join a null corp because I can never get fights (I love robbing ess banks) and I don’t want to compete with the guys that run 10 - 20 accounts eating the best ore just to sell it (they have no idea how to use ore). Being in a 3 or 4 man mining fleet that hase 50+ ships on grid but only a few players disgusts me. I think I hate eve and it’s multy boxing and lack of violence.

Now just mining and building things can get boring so I want to try something new.

I want to try living in a C1 WH (I have been told they are the smallest and least profitably/weakest of the WH’s). I don’t know anything about WH’s so I was hoping to pick every bodies brains. Are C1’s generally vacant? Are they hard to find? How is life in a C1 as a solo? I tried checking a few videos on YT but it only gave me fits for sites. I’m looking for day to day information. Do they have NPC stations? Do I need to buy/Ship a station? what kind of things can I produce and ship out of a C1?

If anybody has information for me please share it. I’m looking to be a hermit and avoid other players.

If your goal is to be a hermit and avoid other people, then you may not get any replies to your questions. My advice to you is to join a WH corp that specializes in what you want to do. Learn all you can from them before setting out on your own.

Other players are the best teachers in the game.

NO NPC stations.. unless you have an alliance support or a Corp that has members, you will die fast in WH space, setting up a structure.. you can put up a stick and power it, most leave sticks alone..

My main Character flown with WINGSpan.. WH now days is a outcast of EVE (like a relative you never wanted)

C1 most have a HS connection…

  1. ARE C1 WORMHOLES GENERALLY VACANT
    That would depend on the type of static you wanted in your C1.

    HS STATIC : Probably the most occupied as they allow stations placed to perform reactions and building and always have a HS connection.

    LS STATIC : Similar to the HS Static, can perform reactions/building and always have a K-Space connection, less populated but still a few out there.
    (Note : I always thought it would be cool to stage a small gang pirate corp out of a LS Static, each day rolls you into a new oppertunity to PVE/PVP.)

    NS STATIC : I would guess the least occupied - I have been in 5 this year and 1 was occupied.

  2. ARE C1 WORMHOLES HARD TO FIND?
    HS Static : No. You can just scan around HS doing other bits, you will find probably 1 per hour.

    LS Static : Same as HS but with more chance of getting caught by PVP.

    NS Static : Very - there are 27 WH and 2713 NS Systems. So each system you jump in there is a 1% chance of a WH, but it’s lower ofc with lifespans, has the K-162 spawned etc etc.

    Easiest way would be to set-up in a C2 HS/C1 Static and rage roll the C1 with 8x Moa jumps until you find the hole you like, but as you are solo with polarity that would be a long process.

  3. HOW IS LIFE IN A C1 AS A SOLO
    As a “Solo” person with a few accounts, fairly easy. Sometimes the content is decent inside, sometimes you do more content where you’re visiting for the day, but having a minimum of 4 accounts to ROLL any incoming/outgoing holes makes life so much easier.
    Incoming connections from any other W-Space take 4 OUT/IN ish.
    The statics take 8 OUT/8 IN ish.

    As a true SOLO with 1 account difficult, you can’t scout yourself in/out. One of your other chars on the account would need to be a permanent seed incase you get locked out.
    You wouldn’t be able to roll your static to secure the hole if you had nice content very easily or quickly roll a incoming connection that may be aggressive.

  4. DO THEY HAVE NPC STATIONS?
    Nope. You would need to either set-up a starbase or station.
    I would reccomend setting up a Small Starbase first, not moving too much in and see if you get attacked, if you’re safe after a couple of weeks then move into a Astrahus.

  5. WHAT KIND OF THINGS CAN YOU PRODUCE & SHIP OUT?
    As a true solo, probably only WH gas & their related reactions if you got deeper involved. Maybe T3 Subsystems? But producing more with that C1 WH offers will be difficult.
