Wormholes

first wh PVE experience. fall of 2009 i get invited to join for some WH pve with couple of corpmates and ii ask if caracal is ok ? they go ya ya so i follow them about i land on site with them after they've killed off chunk of the 1st wave and second wave (some c1 site cant recall) then third wave spawns i go "oh thats cool desing" then see beam of light hitting my caracal and it just evaporates in on the spot and i spent rest of that experience hanging around in a pod at the hisec side of the hole.

pvp experience. same group of people as before we got called in early 2010 or late 2009 to assist with defense of one of the alliances member corps and plan was to launch bombs at the attackers and then fire torps on select targets at range. at least that was the plan. we land at the tactical warp in and see the attackers forming up near the POS. we decloak and half our guys get wiped out by the friendly pos before we manage to fire a single shot much less launch bombs.

holy **** it is. I've been posting a while O.O

I was just 2 weeks into EvE as I was spotted and shot in C4 space:

noob

You can thank me for that *nods furiously* :D

Can't remember which was my first experience. Day tripping in wormholes with retrievers and jet-can mining the good stuff or going in with adventurous high-sec corpies and doing a site or two. Was flying an apoc I think with ****** enough skills not to be in range of anything and not really knowing anything about wh's. We got out alive. The retriever trips - not so much. But at the time it felt like crazy isk from mining arkanor.

I must have been a month or two old, was still based in high sec, but was doing a lot of exploration (data and relics sites, they still had some nasty rats back then too...) I started using wormholes to reach more desolate regions of low sec, where I could scan in peace.

One of the first wormholes I entered I scanned down an abandoned drake named "Lost! Need high sec!!!" Unfortunately I could not fly a drake at that time, otherwise it would've been a nice bonus. A drake was a lot of ISK at that age. Anyways, it made me realise that WH space could be risky, but also profitable.

I got hooked before I even started playing. Had a miner friend who showed me the game. I spent three weeks studying the game and reading up on all the things you can do before I even downloaded it. Found a few videos about wormholes and was hooked before I even logged in.

Entered the game and started the exploration tutorial to get those free items and the scanning skills. My buddy gave me 10m for skillbooks and a ship. An hour after I created this toon, I was in a C3 flying around looking at all of the planets in my Probe. My buddy recommended Eve University since they had a Wormhole Campus to teach noobs the ropes of WH living. I spent the next three weeks skilling into cloaking and scanning while waiting for approval to join Eve Uni.

Found out I had to wait at least six weeks to get the 'Sophomore' title before I could apply to the Wormhole Campus so I spent that time exploring wormholes and learning as much as I could, also abusing the internet for any WH webpages. But after a couple of months in Eve Uni, they rejected my promotion twice since they said I wasn't active enough (still have no clue what they meant). I left and joined a C2 WH corporation that recently moved into a C5 (didn't know that).

So I was two months old and not even 1.2m sp living in a C5 wormhole with a couple of corporations. They all HATED to scan and I loved scanning down sigs and combat scanning. So, my job was to keep siggy updated and mine gas for them. I couldn't do anything more than that.

Absolutely loved it but the corp fell apart and people started to leave until it was only me in it. Decided to move on and head back to highsec but I still have my scanning ship and I will go pop into wormholes to see what I can do. Now trying to convince my pvp corpmates to take a shot at daytripping into wormholes for extra isk when the Caldari squids don't feel like playing with us.

I still miss living in a wormhole but I will not do it solo.

I was brand spanking new, flying around in an imicus trying to learn how to probe down signatures. I found a wormhole and jumped in. terrified of dying i sat on the hole, system map open looking at all the signatures and the ominous names of all the sites.

Sitting at the wormhole eventually my nerve failed and i jumped back into the suckling teat of high sec.

Must've been only a few months old the first time I actually found a hole

I was bumming about HS scanning and found a hole, went back to station, docked up and fit a probe launcher to my drake because someone in Help said I'd need it on the other side. Went through, crapped myself a little when I saw -1.0 but decided to press on and warped to a moon (really bad idea in hindsight).

I landed and went about scanning, a couple more holes, some relic sites and a few combat sites. After some chatting with folks in Help, I decided it wasn't in my better interests to do these sites with my **** fit Drake and started to head home. As soon as I closed the map I noticed something new. There was an Orca and a couple indies setting up a tower on the same moon I'd been sitting at uncloaked for half an hour.

They must've though I was bait, AFK, or was hoping I wouldn't notice them since they just left me alone.

Been wanting to actually move into a WH since I got back, but schizophrenic training queues and my inability to focus have been keeping me from that.

I started probing down sites like 3d after character creation, and found a wormhole. Although I was told I couldn't really do anything in a wormhole yet, I hopped in to probe it down just because. I was engrossed in the probe window when my screen flashed and I was in a pod, then was shortly in a station. Good times.

First one was finding a hisec hole leading to a C5, ferrying 8 domis and a damnation in it, doing anoms like it was an all-you-can-eat buffet, then going back to hisec alive and richer !

Second was settling in a C5 ("because it's so awesome, you can roam anywhere in Eve!", doing our first cap escalation with all holes open, and ending up getting ganked by Rooks and Kings in their monthly gank fleet, thanks to one of our member posting a gif of our siggy to a RnK "friend" who apparently used this opportunity to settle an old forum conflict. I'll always remember our scout on the nullsec entrance RnK used to gank us: "Sabre on scan! Rooks and Kings!" "But, what's their fleet like, what do they have ?" "We don't give a **** ! We're all dead anyway!" . Turns out he was right.

Good times.
