EVE General Discussion

I live in one now, I just suck at it.

But from my limited experience with a low class hole, it's an enormous pain in the ass to live even here, and we have a static highsec to make logistics easier.

The POS mechanics desperately need a full rework, and that's the larger part of it. How this has gone ignored for so long I shall never know.

As the person who created the Null Thread, I support this post :)

I've heavily considered looking for a Worm Hole Corp. I am big fan of exploration as it is and WH's seem like a natural extension of that life style.

My biggest concerns are trusting others with my assets in the POS

Logistics of getting loot out and ammo/ships in

and while I'd want to join a c5 or c6 group to maximize my income potential I feel that doing so would leave me at the mercy of my corp for content. I want to be in a location I can still solo if I want.

wormholes for the win.

best place to live in eve.

positives

1) no local.
2) constant and varied exits to null to hunt
3) periodic t3 brawls with other wh denizens
4) isk is great if you know how to earn it, and if you put 5bn of hardware on the line to get to it :)
5) ability to control entrances / exits

negatives

1) asset security. corp theft is an issue.
2) no cloning station
3) logistics can be difficult at times

That's true ^^

If you want to undock and get a fight at a minute's notice then lowsec or null are for you.

Fights and ganks in WH often seem to take a little more time and effort to find. Although in saying that you will often find the value of targets is greater than what you might come across in Empire regions. Looking at many WH pvp'ers killboards you'll notice they often have half the kills a lowsec pilot might have, yet double the ISK destroyed (for a rough example).

I was in a WH's a few times. Left to corp burnout, complaining, and to a lost POS cause a member made a foolish mistake of leaving shinies out as pos trash.

I live in every area of eve all the time.
Maybe you even fly with me there.

There aren't enough people around!

Let the corp do the logistics for you.

I've lived in wormholes for most of my EVE time (since early 2011, rest of the time in lowsec) and I have no idea what people mean by "pain in the ass logistics". Granted, industry is rather hopeless venture in wormholes, but for other players there's simply no need to "logistic" all the time.

WH PVE is just as boring crap as it's everywhere, but at least it's done in huge ass ships and requires team work.

Random connections are great, I've been all over the map now, and the freedom allowed by connections is a main factor in my continuing existence in w-space. Prolific scanners are mandatory recruitment for any kind of enjoyable wh life.

Worst part is that most of the time they are nearly useless for PVP-oriented players being mostly empty. This is of course purely subjective, and many seem to be content with the amount of action they get. For regular fights, there are better areas than w-space.

Another downside is the vocal "community" in C5/C6 space that consists mostly of drama queen teens, attention prostitutes and wannabe elite "PVPers" aka blobbers that think ISK values actually mean something but can't fly a frigate even if their lives depended on it. There's a ridiculous amount of circle-jerking, bullshit politics and consensual fights compared to the rest of the EVE. Luckily they are mostly forum trolls and there's a larger population of cool guys who prefer playing to metagame wankery.

PVP, on the unfortunately rare occasions it actually happens, can be great, and the slow-paced stalking/hunting can be rewarding.

The API.

Wormholes are no longer a mysterious place to live. With the API you can now map all your statics and have a very good idea who lives in each wormhole.

Wormholes to me should be a mysterious place to live, never knowing where your static will lead or who lives in any particular wormhole.

That is simply no longer the case.
