Wormholes

Having recently moved from k-space to the unknown we found ourselves engaged in a little debate on corporation comms.

Is there a different level of courtesy extend to wormhole dwellers in PVP? This is a foreign concept to most of my squad as the vast majority of our PVP experience is from the grief stricken systems of low sec.

For example, in small gang skirmish PVP (yes I know many of you will say this doesn't exist) outside your own hole is there an established etiquette for pod killing and potentially assisting players should they get trapped ect.? My initial perspective is that unless there is a strategic reason to kill the pod of the unfortunate soul(s) who fell victim to your gang it would seem to me that it would it would be a very nice gesture to forgo spilling the pod juice and settle for some GFs in local.

This of course would all depend on the class and maturity of the parties involved and any EVE pilot that expects any courtesies to be extended would be foolhardy at best. The reality is douche bags will always spray douche regardless of the arena.

My encounters so far leave me optimistic but this view may self destruct without prior warning. I am interested in hearing the community's perspective.

No real etiquette, but there's some interesting situations that come up.

Like getting a pilot stuck on the wrong side of a collapsed hole with no probes or way out. Then selling his ship to the guys you were just shooting at, and having them lead his pod out to k-space.

They main etiquette point is don't just POS up like a sissy. If someone goes to the trouble of parking a ship in your system where you can see it, they want to fight you and you should oblige.

There's nothing wrong with podding people.
Personally if I know someone is stuck after a fight and I'm not interested in spite camping them, I'll offer them a route out if I have one. It's no loss for me and not being an asshat to people in WHs tends to be a good thing.

You should also always honour your agreements. You don't have to make them, but if you do, honour them.
Dishonouring an arranged 1v1, for example, is standard in kspace. In WHs it is reasonably likely to get you evicted.

There have been some instances where our pods were given routes out, and a few weeks later, we gave the same guys some routes out when they got stuck.

Karma, pod killing has its place, and absolutely if i can pod you during a fight I will. But after the fight has settled down and you are safed up, things are different ;).

Disregard other posts. Troll for fights.

We fought No Holes Barred not long ago, and had a lot of respect for their pilots due to the way that they fought*. So when one of their members, who had to warp out of the fight, asked to leave the system and return to their fleet we let him and without asking for a ransom. Any other time we would have probed the guy out and sent him on the POD express back to K space.

*Balls deep, no fear, bad ass mofos who were committed to the fight...

as you can see, there is no established etiquette and even if there was, there would always be THAT GUY...

that said, personally, i would spare a decent opponent the hassle of buying a new clone and implants and flying across half of eve to get back home. if the gf was indeed that, a good fight, you may as well show your opponent some good will. of course, this does not apply to the carebear in a faction fit drake who came to farm ribbons.

Confirming that Bitten. play wspace correctly.

**** agreed fights

Don't forget:

- If you want to evict groups, you have to ask permission of the council of honourable WH overlords on these forums of course....
- You aren't allowed to have low numbers -> always fight (don't POS up)

Other than that, you can do whateeeeever you want in W-space....
