Originally by: Duncan MacPherson Account #1 - Battleship with cloak on it Account #2 - Covert Ops frig - loads of probes and scanning tools Account #3 - Orca with a cloak on it - ammo/supplies - will be my mobile base
I've lived in WH space for over three months now, and i'm glad to help get new targe... err pioneers into the unknown.
Three characters can do a lot more than you would think, especially if one is in an orca. They are a great mobile base. I'll explain in a second. With these you would be able to handle a class 1/2 and the anomalies in a c3, as someone mentioned before. Unfortunately an Orca or a BS cannot pass through a wormhole leading to a class 1/2 wormhole, hence you will be doing class 3 wormholes mostly.
As for shiptypes you should use for a class 3 anomaly, i would advice you to take a battlecruiser hull. Due to the lower sig radius and better ability to kill the numerous frig/cruiser spawns in a c3, they will clear and tank these kind of sites better. This is my personal experience at least. Plus they are a lot cheaper.
Another added benefit with BC hulls is that you can fit one in your Orca. This is why the orca is so great, you can have more ships than just three with you :D. Which is why i would advice the following ship setup for three accounts:
Account #1 BC with cloak / scanning frig (in orca) Account #2 BC with cloak / Salvage destroyer (in orca) Account #3 Orca with cloak and lots of ammo
This way you can have a prober, scanning out sites, whilst buddy #2 and buddy #3 are safe and cloaked in an orca and BC respectively. When doing sites the prober can easily hop in the BC. This way you have 2 ships clearing a site, making it go three times as fast. Yes i said 1+1=3 because you negate some of the RR sleepers do. After combat, one of the BC pilots can get into the salvager, and finish the salvage fast. This way you can maximize loot/salvage whilst minimizing exposure to potential hostiles.
If i were to use the orca to live as nomads in WH space, this would be the way i would do it.
Or you can just set up a POS, or join an established corp.
If you do manage to enter WH space, there is another tip i'll give you freely, which is: 'Be paranoid, use the D-scan intensively, and gtfo at the smallest sign of danger. I might be lurking next door.'
