Is it ever worth manufacturing in WH"s? I'm not talking fuel blocks or t3 cruisers. I'm talking more about regualar low to mid-level production, t1/t2 frig and cruiser hulls and mods/boosters. I was thinking about moving a small manufacturing operation into a c4/c3, but I was worried it would arouse too much attention. If I leave it in k-space, there will be a lot of transporting in and out of w-space, just as there will be a lot of transporting in and out if I stay in w-space, so the logistics isn't really what is bothering me. |

I've lived in plenty of WH"s, c4's/c3's, c5/c3's, and a c5/c6. I've never had any problem with transport ships, exhumers, or gas suckers being ganked. I close superfluous holes, I keep scouts everywhere, I constantly dscan. That's not what I'm worried about. What worries me is someone seeing a pos with some manufacturing in it and saying 'sure, let's put that into reinforced'. |

HS is the best place for t1-t3 production, and if you want reactions then go to lowsec. That way you can become familiar with the area, have a cyno into the system, and there is a great thing called local chat. However, if you are dead set on manufacturing in a WH, do what the previous posters have said and move into a C1/HS or C2/HS.
not right now. I've been playing other games and skilling in eve (which is pretty much playing eve). I'm thinking of moving back into a c4/c3 with a few people and was curious if manufacturing was worth it. From what I've seen so far, I'll probably just stick to making stuff from PI.
Logistics has never been much of a problem. I've spent 90% of my time playing eve in a wh and I had good guidance when I started out. It would be bit more of a hassle than doing everything in HS, but there's something about having a secret manufacturing facility in w-space that really strikes me the right way. |

The manufacutring would just be a side project - something to spice up my wh life. I'd just roll c3's with another person or two (or by myself) or take advantage of rolling c5's/c6's and their ladars for the bulk of my isk. |

It's good for your m8s and to sell.
I really, really like the idea of having an illegal drug manufacturing setup in w-space. That's why I play eve. |
