Just to make sure you know what you're getting into, the gas for booster production isn't found in WHs.
I would recommend either setting up a POS in a low level WH just to learn how to survive out there before bringing anything expensive in, or joining a corp to learn how things work. |

You can't mine, you will die. I promise.
You can't PI because it will take a large fleet of BS (HOURS and HOURS) to take down Customs Offices and you will NEVER recoup the costs of putting up your own even if you played Eve until the year 2200 with 10 perfect PI alts.
I MIGHT be ok with a small staging tower and just running the hell out of the C3 statics but then you run into the issue of rolling WHs.
My advice... Get a T3 and carry a mobile depot with you. Swap out scanning fits with dmg fits and just scan down WHs. Be a wanderer because you will not succeed in settling in a WH of any size. Your soul will be crushed if you try.
Please don't take this advice. None of it.
I lived solo in WHs for a while with little problem.
First, never, never take a small tower. Go for a medium. Medium POS's don't take that much fuel and are more than manageable solo. Smalls will get smashed. No one will take the effort to mess with a medium dickstar in a lower level WH. People aren't that bored. You can easily mine in safety, as long as you know your neighbors, watch for probes, etc. I never once lost a prospect/venture gas mining while living in WHs solo. It's fairly easy to find an empty hole with POCOs that already have good tax rates. No real need to take them down immediately, and even if you want to, I've taken them out an oracle and stratios alone pretty quickly. Just roll all your incoming holes closed, crit your statics, and semi-afk bash them for a few hours. You by no means need battleships.
Do not take a T3. That's a stupid amount of ISK to risk on the field when you can get by fairly well solo in a drake/gila and not have your day ruined if you lose it.
Pick your statics. To start with, the most empty holes you will find are probably C1/LS statics. That's where I started, and while the ISK isn't nearly as good, it's a great safe place to learn the ropes of WHs. |
