we took them from low sec entrances, in 1 month we managed to get ~10 caps in, either from direct roaming low secs or low secs from static. when we got a low sec we would check for contracts and get the ship in
what i have on standy varies, i usually keep 1 prober to quickly scan new sigs to know if they are a threat, rest is either gilas (to deal with small tackle) or jamming ships.
