Wormholes

While I'm planning to stay in FW for some time, I've run out of FW related things to train for. Since wormholes are what I plan to do next, what ships/modules should I train in preparation ?

scanning skills, blockade runner (prowler), t3s, missiles, guns, drones, dominixes, carriers, dreads, orcas, HICs, pos gunning,

Why the prowler instead of the other blockade runners ?

Which HiC, carrier and dread would be best to train for ?
I've already got Amarr cruiser 5 and training for a Loki requires Minmatar cruisers. So those HiCs will train quicker than the others.


I still need to have ships trained in order to fly them.

What does the Orca get used for ?

Looking at the description, it looks like it's going to be used for off grind boosting. Which doesn't seem a very interesting thing to do on my main.

Here is what i would train for in order of importance, based on a typical WH PVP Corp but not limited to:

* Covert Ops - lvl 4 scan skills accross the board
* T3 - which ever you want to fly, or you have best support skills for
* Logi
* Support ships, HIC's etc...
* Carrier / Dread

It really does vary for each corp and what you want to do. For small gang stuff, maybe you want to go for something other than T3? Like recons, cloaky stuff if your sneaky like that.

If you have significant amount of SP, go for higher class PVP oriented group and have fun.

Dreads in order: Moros/Naglfar, Revelation, NO you can't use your Phoenix.
Carriers: Archon and nothing else except Thanatos in some PVP, i hope you are not aiming for Shield because there are no much uses of Shield in wormholes except a Naglfar maybe
T3's: All
HIC's: Devoter/Phobos in 95% of situations
Logi: Guardian/Oneiros for armor, Scimitar for some roams probably, Basilisk is pretty rare tho except in C4 farming..

everything but titans and supercarriers

Train up PI and mining frigate. PI and gassing are the only true reasons to be in wh space.

On a serious note - Orca requires mining director be trained to 5. I could literally fly every non titan in the game well before I got around to training up for an orca. If you have an indy character it's pretty easy, but putting mining director 5 on your skill sheet should make you feel kind of .... dirty. (just mutter something about working on heavy interdictors 5 when they ask if you can fly an orca then quickly start scanning a new chain).

It doesn't really matter what you train into specifically. Other than a co-ops. And you don't say how many SP you have, so I'll assume ~10M

Wormholes are more a frame of mind. You have to like scanning. A lot. And being isolated. Jita is very very rarely 6 jumps away.

But if your mind's made up go chat in notable wormhole corps public channels. Some fly shield ships, some armour. Some both. So look, ask and get an idea first as you'll feel a bit bad if you train into a perfect Tengu and then find the corp you want to join live in a Wolf Rayet.

So ask around - see which corps appeal to you. Find out what ships they fly. Train into those. Sometimes people are so keen to get into wormholes they can't participate fully in corp activities. For example, flying a perfect Noctis is useful, but boy are you going to get bored if that's all you can do. So make sure you have a broad base of skills. Cov Ops, Inty, Hacs, Hics, Bombers, Orca, Industrials, T3's, Tier 3 BC's, Recons - all used regularly by most WH corps. Shield and Armour.

For me it was Caldari and Amarr Hacs and Recons that kept things interesting until I could fly more interesting stuff. A Falcon or Curse are rarely unwelcome in a fleet. And neither are ECMgu's or Neut Legions. YMMV.

You can use an Orca to travel if you're brave enough... stuff it full of ships and roll out :D
