Jumping through wormhole

Yesterday I did a second attempt at soloing a class 4 wormhole. I started off in a Frontier Barracks anomoly. The same one I attempted the last time.

I had refitted my legion a bit, swapping out the 800mm plate for a True Sansha Heat Sink. The first two waves were no problem like the last time. The third wave (2 bs, 4 cruisers, 3 frigates) was the one were all the ships remote rep each other. Again like list time killing the webbing/scrambling frigates was no problem. Then on to the cruisers…. Well basically the same problem as last time. I got them into low armor then they got repped back up to full armor.

So back to WormHome for a refit. I swapped out the damage control for a second True Sansha Heat Sink. I went back to the same anomoly, so I could continue on the third wave. Still I had trouble killing the cruiser. But this time every now and then I managed to put a bit of structure damage on one of the cruisers. After about 10 minutes it finally blew up! Now with one of the cruisers gone, I had enough damage to break the others tank fairly quick.

So the first class 4 anomoly finished solo \o/ Didn’t I read on the forums somewhere class 4+ was impossible to solo This anomoly dropped 66mil in sleeper tags and a bit of salvage (11 NIM’s among the salvage).

Next I tried another anomoly. Can’t exactly remember the name. I’ll look it up when I get home. In this anomoly the first wave was no problem. The second wave spawned 4 battleships: 3 defenders and 1 safeguard. This was the first time I had seen a safeguard, so I had no idea what exactly it did. I moved in a bit closer to be able to hit them. Then I got hit with 4 webbers. My tank was holding up at one moment, then at another moment when the sleepers got a few good hits my tank seemed unable to keep up with the damage. On top of the when I got a bit closer, the safeguard bs also scrambled me.

I popped in a Standard Exile Booster, because I really wasn’t going to lose my legion here. Even with the booster I couldn’t tank the 4 bs too long. So I tried moving away from them, aligning to a moon. When the safeguard dropped it’s scram for a moment I warped off. Not to so succesful at this one. I might be able to survive this anomoly with my full tank fit though. But I didn’t try that.

I tried a third type of anomoly. Also can’t remember the name, I’ll update this post when I get home. This anomoly had 4 argos sentries a few cruisers and a few frigates in the first wave. Lot’s of webbing and scrambling going on but not too much damage. I chewed through it fairly easy. The second wave again consisting of quite a few cruisers and frigs. Webbing / scrambling action a lot again. Also to remote rep cruisers where added to the mix. Again not much trouble in this wave. The last wave spawned a safeguard (web/scram) bs and 4 cruisers. The cruisers where quickly dealt with, then onto the safeguard. Man… these ships can tank Took me about 10 minutes to take it down. All in all this was a fairly easy anomoly. This also reflected in the loot: just 35,5 mil in sleeper tags and 3 NIM’s.

Since it was getting pretty late I decided to call it a day and went back to WormHome. I got quite a bit of insight in the class 4 wormholes. If you solo you’ll make more isk/time in a class 3 hole. But the class 4 anomolies are definately soloable. Which is good to know, since this will give me more oppurtunities to make isk solo during the slow times as class 3′s and class 4′s spawn near our WormHome.

Update 1: The tough anomoly was called “Sleeper Information Sanctum”
Update 2: Added some screenshots
