The Proposal

[Morganti]

Went through about 25 systems tonight and found 8 wormholes, mostly c3, all heavily populated (one had like 12 POS's!!). Let me know if anyone finds an empty one.

Hey all.

The most difficult thing about me is that I'm unreliable. I can be on for days and days and then gone for three or four without warning, it's down to work and family issues which override game concerns. Even in the middle of a call to arms to defend the wormhole from an attack. I'm on GMT and generally have EVE open 7AM to 5PM - not always doing stuff but there semi-afk as I'm working. I can sometimes participate in group stuff in the evening but again it's unreliable.

My combat skills are severely limited as I've had almost no practice. I do the occasional L3 mission and my PVP experience coonsists of getting ganked twice. Conversely I've spent a fair bit of time mining and building up industrial assets. I'm also good at managing and planning.

The bulk of my toons are miners - I've got five Hulk pilots. All they'd need is some training to use the losec/nullsec mining crystals.

Three Hulk pilots have other skills: Orca + Freighter (and close to Jump Freighter/Rorqual), Orca + Freighter (and can train Jump Freighter), Dominix/Myrmidon w. lt/hv T2 drones

My oldest pilot, an Amarrian, actually has almost all the skills Morganti listed above - except mining. This is from the time when I thought using a Combat Recon would be good for mission running...

Every single one of the above can also fly Transport ships and thus Industrials too. Some of them have research, inventing, and manufacturing skills. I haven't done much manufacturing and no invention as I haven't worked out how to make it profitable yet. Plus PI skills dotted around.

Here's where it gets complicated as most of my remaining toons are skilled only at a single thing, and are on the same accounts as the above characters, or will be in the next few months. I currently have stuff planned for them but nothing that can't be changed.

A group of three Caldari pilots, one Drake/Cerberus, one Interceptor, and one Stealth Bomber I was vaguely thinking of using in Faction Warfare, they're currently training to Drakes.
A couple of toons with little more than salvaging/basic fitting/hauling skills.
A CEO toon - Dr Sirius of Cybernetic Legion - has skills to form an alliance if required...
A dedicated ice miner training towards mining skills
A dedicated PI/invention character with Transport ships
Dominix/Myrmidon w. T2 sentry drones pilot
Gallente Interceptor pilot

Most of my characters also have secondary skills where I've pursued an idea that didn't work out for me.

Blah, blown up and podded while hunting a wormhole.

Since we can't seem to find any empty wormhole space would folks be interested in going to 0.0 instead? Souca has a lead on a system we can rent for 1bil a month. Any other space available (preferably free!)?

[RobinGBrown]

Personally I'm really loathe to rent 0.0 space as it seems like giving money away.

I found an interesting thread on the forums re unoccupied wormholes (link goes to relevant post):

I agree with your assessment about paying for 0.0 space completely. I'm not even overly excited about paying for WH space, which can be bought on the forums also. The only thing I can say to this is: everyone get to looking for a WH for us! If you can't pilot a cov ops then scan the classified forums for a good deal and bring it back to us here. If you can pilot cov ops spend some time every day looking around and see what you can find. A class3 is still what we're looking for, and one with a static 0.0 would probably be best (static means it always has an entrance from somewhere in 0.0, but it can also spawn entrances to lowsec and hisec).

I'd personally like to get into a c4 or c5 once everyone gets comfortable, but I bow to Meeo's experience and will stick with starting in a c3.

[Grondir]

YES! C5 TITAN PRODUCTION!! But we probably should start smaller lol

Could always join a 0.0 Corp, instead of trying to rent space if it comes down to that.
