So, got back from the holidays, and been slumming it as usual.
Myself and some ex-BUGRY guys are going to try something new or different while in between gigs - basing off a hisec island in the depths of Aridia, and spelunking into wormholes from there. Lowsec and lowsec-connected wormholes are a bit less lame than the usual B274 camping cowardfucks, and lowsy pirate dudes can be fun from time to time. Plus there's decent money to be made doing 5/10's and shit.
We'll see how it goes. It's going to be less hassle than fuelling a POS, that's for certain.
RIP Sec Status
ReplyDeleteSay hi to infernal octupus if you meet them. Aridia was my home in my early days.
ReplyDeleteWe have identified their bait prot and panther dude, just got to sort my comms out and we can counter drop them. They're always good for a derp!
DeleteThe introduction of the command destroyers makes B274 camping much, much more enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteis true, but U210's you get to MMJD both sides for extra pleasure
DeleteQuestion: How should a newcomer (around 10mil SP) start to lean wormhole PvP? I mean finding fights in wspace is pretty difficult already so would it make more sense starting in LS and then move to wspace from there? How did you start? Happy for any advice.
ReplyDeleteI started in highsec can flipping Megathron Navy Issues, and stumbled into wormholes kinda by mistake. My advice would be to get on board with a smallish corp of wormholers who at least fly ships into battle on purpose and don't just get killed. That's the bare minimum - don't join a farming corp, you'll just learn cloaking up and logging off. You don't need to join one of the elite corps either - there's plenty of good, solid, well-performing small corps in all TZ you'll learn the basics from, and can move up to bigger corps in C5's in good time.
DeleteLowsec isn't always the best way to get into wormholes. It's good for guys like me, cause we don't need to farm much and we know our shit (more or less) but lowsec + wormholes = hard yakka a lot of the time.
Nice to see you back from vacation. Hope you had some relaxation and fun. I read about the move to Aridia on Bex' blog and figured you were going there as well. Know that you always have support in our channel and all you need to do is ping it! We are working more on trying to adapt some doctrines to an extent but it's always hard to deploy since we never know what we are going to get in fleet. Regardless we have fun with you tagging along mate :) even we don't always fly organized and proper. We are always up for a fight no matter.
