You can but it sucks.

You don't make any isk killing sleepers. You only make isk from salvaging and looting them. While you can easily clear C1 sites with a drake and a salvager in the utility high, salvaging the wrecks with one salvager sucks.

Not to mention each second you are in a site, you are at risk of getting ganked.

I'm afraid I have to agree with Derath. You might as well go mine in High Sec, because you will make much more isk with far less risk. There really isn't a large sum of money to be made in C1's and anything you go into with an open high-sec hole you are begging to lose your ship. If you wanted to commit to a couple days at a time in wh's and had two characters I could help you, but one ship in any wormspace is nothing more than a recipe for an adrenaline rush while someone kills your ship.

It's a question of risk verse reward. You do make a lot of isk from sleeper loot, even in a C1. Mining in high sec solo (no hauler) will net you somewhere around 10m isk per hour in a hulk and you're likely to get ganked. C1 combat sites should net you around 45m isk per hour if you are totally solo. Hence, if you fly a implantless clone (suggested) and a BC you'll make up any loss in about an hour.

With decent skills and a passive tank of 250+ or so in a BC you should be fine. I'd suggest the Hurricane since it has two free high slots and the best dps of all tier 2 BC. I'm not sure I'd bother with a cloak or probe launcher. Find and scan the site out with a cov ops first then return with your BC. Since you'll have more than enough dps from your guns you could fit ECM drones incase you get pointed.

this here should get you through C1s easily. salvaging lvl5 is mandatory though, otherwise you will lose lots of time waiting for the salvage.

I think the only way to make any real money in a C1 is via mining (and only because of spiking mineral prices), and unless you plan to build a Rorqual in the WH for compression, getting your ore out is going to cause huge logistical problems.

Aside from that, Melted Nanoribbons and Caldari Hybrid Decryptors are the only things you're going to find in a C1 that's worth anything, and salvage/Radar sites are inconsistent.

As far as having an open HS static, while I have encountered problems with it (I live in a C2 with HS/C3 statics), they have been rare. Still, I try to keep the hole closed unless I'm actively using it.

No the big money in a C1 is PI.

If someone were determined to mine out a c1 I'd say use a refining array.

Everything else is a logistics nightmare.

PS. Personally I would build a couple BS in the WH, just cause you can.

Actually, I found C1 sites to be significantly more profitable than most people realize. I was using a dedicated Noctis pilot, but with two accounts I was pulling 100-150 million an hour doing sites in a Legion.

My suggestion is to find a C2 with a C1 static. And if nothing else, train a low-skill salvage alt for a few weeks as a second character. Log yourself out, the noctis pilot in, and salvage all those wrecks you remembered to bookmark.

I suppose I should have worded it differently. While there is potential to make a good amount of ISK with nanoribbons, you will go through dry spells that effectively render your site running a waste of time. I know that my time in wormholes has been hit or miss with nanoribbons, and overall, I think that my nanoribbon hauls from salvaging has been remarkably average. Sure, I get the occasional spike of good luck that doubles my income (from C3 sites) or more, but those are rare and usually short lived.
