I am looking for a low skill, Minmatar battlecruiser(Hurricane) fit to tackle C1 and possibly C2 wormholes.
What modules are a must (apart from scan probes, which is a given)?
What rigs and weapon modules/ammo would help me most?
Average amount of isk to be gained from C1 and C2?
Will this venture even be feasible at 1.4 million SP.

i did a bit of solo C1 with a 2-3M SP alt on full T1 mods drake some time ago. no problems at all, was easy. doing it on a hurri for C2 with less SPs... hm... may be possible, not sure. i think it will be hard. what the most annoying for me with solo WH is that sleepers will attack your drones really quickly. you'll have to be very carefull with them. you'll lost a big part of the drones dps because of that. ---------------- ** Wormhole Trading ** |

Speaking off the top of my head (it's been a while since I've been in a wh, and I've never used a cane for it), you're going to want to slap a salvager in your other utility slot for the salvage, which is where the real isk is in C1s. Autocannons in the rest of the highs (easier fittings for your lower skills, I suppose) for dps. For a tank you can go either shield or armor; personally I prefer shield, but with your low skills it might not work as well. It would go something like this:
6x Autocannons of choice Core Probe Launcher I Salvager I
10MN Microwarpdrive/Afterburner (to taste) Large Shield Extender II Large Shield Extender II Invulnerability Field II
Shield Power Relay II Shield Power Relay II Shield Power Relay II Shield Power Relay II Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II/Tracking Enhancer II
EM Resist Rig Core Defence Field Extender Core Defence Field Extender
That's a variation of what I use for null ratting; if you need more/less tank, add or drop SPRs, or possibly throw on a thermal resist rig. Again, I've never used it for WH's, but it might work.
That said, I seriously doubt you'll be able to handle wh's with only 1.4 mil sp. Sleepers hit pretty damn hard, and having good support skills is usually a must. BC 4 is always good, and T2 guns are certainly handy. And that doesn't even begin to address player skill. Are you used to operating in null space? Are you in the habit of spamming the dscan? Are your scanning skills proficient? And most importantly, do you have a way of absorbing losses? Wormholes can make you a ton of isk, but you need to a) get the materials safely out of a wh, and b) not get killed. Everyone you ever meet in a wh can safely be assumed to be out to kill you. If you don't have the means to replace your losses, don't bother with wh's yet.

I jump from high and Null, depending on what I wish to do.Are you in the habit of spamming the dscan?Being the paranoid person I am, I spam it anywhere under 0.5 Are your scanning skills proficient?I myself am proficient at scanning. In terms of skills, I can use 5 probes and have a 5% boost in scan power. And most importantly, do you have a way of absorbing losses?

I've seen new players fail horribly in C1 wormholes. I took two in a former corp on a short wormhole trip, went to you run-of-the-mill combat site and saw them warp out constantly in badly fited/skilled Drakes. Sleepers do omni-damage, so you need to tank for everything. They eat T1 drones as you eat popcorn (less so in C1s but still), so drones are not all that useful in combat (we used them as disposable webbers in C3-C4 wormholes as sleepers slow down to kill them off).
Basically it depends on your skills. You might manage it with good tanking skills/fit. I don't think I'd use a Cane though. When I lived in wormholes, there were lots to make from combat sites, but that was a long time ago, not sure how the market is today.

Failing is the best, albeit most painful, way of learning.
Omni damage? Would this mean omni tanking like Adaptive plating and Shield Invulnerability work best?

True as long as you actually learn from it

In my experience yes... I'll mail you my (solo C3) drake fit in game, so you can compare that to what you can put together on your chosen ship. Keep in mind too, that sleepers do more damage than your standard belt rat. C3 sleepers in combat sites, are worse than L4 missions - was my experience.

Originally by: Miko Nguyen what is omni tanking and omni damage?
It means that, unlike normal NPC rats, who usually do two specific damage types (kin/therm, explo/kin, EM/therm, etc.), sleepers do all 4 damage types.
Omni-tanking is simply making sure that you leave no major holes in your tank, by setting up your ship to have good resists on all 4 damage types. This is usually achieved by using Invulnerability Fields or Energized Adaptive Nano Membranes, then using specific hardeners or rigs to fill in whatever holes are left. |
