I've been thinking about starting up some wormhole PI with a friend and am looking for some feedback on my plan.
We'd set up a small POS in a WH off the beaten path with just a few planets (enough for 4 toons.) Save up stuff at the POS and run it to a trade hub whenever we got the chance via a freighter, or use industrials to drop the stuff in to hisec and move it via freighter or contacts from there. For defense the POS would use mass jammers (like 25 of them) as no one would be online to defend the vast majority of the time. I'm considering not even having a ship maintenance array and just parking industrials inside the shields to make it look as if there is very little of value there (cause there really wouldn't be.)
Why this plan?
1. I want to make my own schedule. I don't want to join a WH corp and either have to be active for hours everyday or feel like I have to be active.
2. Good cash with minimal time investment once it's up and running (provided I don't get destroyed right away.)
3. Mining and missions bore me to death. I want to try something new that's not hisec PI, or pure hauling.
I have no illusions, I fully expect to get stomped eventually doing something like this. I'd be happy if I broke even on this venture as it would provide some entertainment at least.
Questions:
- Am I delusional? Is this just flushing my money down the drain?
- Is a small CT enough? Or do I need to go medium with a ton more defense to survive a reasonable amount of time?
- Keep a freighter at the POS or use industrials to get the loot out? I prefer less effort, but a freighter is by far the most expensive part of the operation and I'm not sure if it's worth the risk.
- Am I missing anything? |

Totally serious. If I'm crazy, confused, or highly ignorant of something, just say so. |

Thanks for all the feedback. Given this, I'm thinking I'll go with a medium CT in a class 1.
My next question then is, would it be better to go all ECM with a Caldari tower for the 75% targeting time bonus? Or go with an Amarr tower and add some guns in to the mix? I know ECM's take a long time to target, so that bonus is pretty useful. But is it worth giving up all that power grid that could be put towards other defenses. |
