Edited by: Trikill on 03/02/2010 05:24:45 Let me give you my take on this WH thing...
I've been flying solo in WH space with Three characters, just like you want to do, for about 4 months now.
Alt 1: T3 (proteus) Alt 2: Cov Ops, Transport ship, and one salvage ship (do not use the Cov. ops for salvaging it will take forever) Alt 3: Orca
All those ships can esaily fit in the orca with room for an extra salvage ship and cov ops ship, and even a PvP HAC or something...
I did set up a med. POS in the first WH I settled in, but I really could have done everything I wanted with just the Orca. Thing is I also brought some mobile labs along for research on the go, if your into that sorta thing.
You will be able to solo all the sites in a C1/C2 with just a BC, but in a C3 you wont be able to do anything but the Anomalies (no RADAR/MAG sites)unless you are in a T3 or are good at multitasking with two very well tanked Remote Rep BS's using two of your toon's. thing is a BS won't fit in an Orca...so T3 it is! So yes, you do have to put some very expensive assets on the line if you want to make the big bucks solo in C3's.
In my proteus it takes me about 20-40min to clear a site plus the 5 minutes it takes my other alt to salvage. And each C3 site averages between 50-80+ million in loot and salvage...made up for the cost off my assets in the WH after the first two weeks.
Keep your orca pilot and your salvager cloaked up by each WH exit in your system and listen for anyone who jumps in while you kill sleepers (or mine if you like mining).
The tough part is finding wh's that are 1. unoccupied and 2. don't get a lot of traffic so you can kill sleepers in relative safety, unless your board of sleepering and actually want the company... It's because of these two points that moving from WH to WH on a daily or even a weekly basis is unfeasible for profitability. In 4 Months I've only moved to one other C3 because I found that it had more favorable WH connections...
Also, considering the amount of scanning you have to do in WH's A Cov Ops is really the only option, that or a T3 with the scanning subsystem, which frankly would still be worth the money even if I lost it! no but seriously, use Cov Ops not the T1 variants, they suck at scanning.
