Kinda screwed? No probes or launchers. What are our options? Total newb mistake. Any advice would be appreciated.

Self Destruct is the very last thing we want to do and scanning around the worm hole, no one is here, not even a POS.

Without any bookmarks to a wormhole out or probes to scan a new one, you cannot fly out of a W-space system. Period. If you can't get anybody in system to help (and remember that you won't see them in the local channel if they don't talk, and d-scan is limited), you're going to have to self destruct. And remember to take probes next time.

As said:


Self destruct

OR

Get locals to help you (either by killing you or by helping you to the exit).


If option 2 isn't there as you said, by power of deduction, it only leaves option 1...self destruct

hey there.

in the top left corner, there is a code, most of the time its JXXXXX where XXX is a number, it could help if you càn post this J-code in this thread.

wormholes open up to hi/low or nullsec and to other class wormholes, form time to time wormholes be in a so called "chain" to other wormholes, this could provide you with an exit. you claim this wormhole is empty, this doesnt mean that there is no way out or other wormholes will not open up to it.

most of the time people ask for some kind of isk donation to get you an exit. however, because you post this in new citizen, i think you, as a newer player could get one for free, depending on the person that reads it, and finds an exit.

i myself live in a wh, so if we get an opening i can see if we can work something out.

small advice: if someone else shows up in the wormhole, dont blow him up, he might give you an exit :)

Did the wormhole collapse or did you just forget to bookmark it? If you bookmarked the outside, you can get someone to come scan it for you from the outside by checking the system you came in through (it's shown in the saved location).

Thank you for the insightful post, it really helped. I have the Jxxxx number and forgive me if im not willing to share any of this info openly. I have a couple of questions also:

1. If I sign off does my ship just sit there?
2. If I had a saved WH location that is gone, will that be the same location it will open again if someone else tries to come through?

Appreciate it.

Collapsed due to time. Its bookmarked and seriously closed minutes before we got there.

1. Same mechanics as in K-space. If you have no timers, your ship will do an E-warp and dissappears. With timers it will remain in space till timers run out.

2. No, their location is random, so your bookmark is "useless" unless you are very lucky.

first giving a J code can not hurt you more then not giving it. if they find you and your fleet they find you anyways, regardless of previously knowing the j code or not.

in fact it only increases a chance for a way out.

to answer your qeustions:

1: your ship will not sit in the wormhole, depending on your status when you log off, it sits there for 30 seconds, 5 minutes or 15 minutes. however as long as you did not agress anyone, or didnt get shot at, your ship will be gone from the wh within 30 seconds.

safe log off ( press the escape button lower right corner) is your best bet to be sure your ship is gone before you log off.

2, if the wormhole you got a bookmark from is gone, the connection to your wormhole is gone, this means that there will be nothing there.the former wormhole disappeard.

every day 1 or more wormholes ( depending on the classification of the wormhole you are in) open up at different locations.
those new wormholes will be active for +/- 23 hours.
those can bring in new people or provide you with en exit.
depending on the RNG you get an exit to another wormhole, hi/low sec or null sec.
the location where they spawn is random.


the chance of a new wormhole opening up on the exact same location you have a bookmark from are close to non.

hope this clears it up for you

1. No the ship just sits there, but the after a timer or safe log it despawns. It will land in that spot when you log back in.
2. The book mark stays there but the wormhole appears anywhere.
If you don't have people working to help you there (giving the J number) then all you have is self-destruction. So if you don't have some trust you are SOL. sorry mate.

Always willing to help all you have to do is ask, though if you're in the other fleet I may not help the way you want. Just a heads up. Pub Channel: Lost Souls Trading Post

See this post for wormholes basics to avoid more mishaps.

Always fit a probe launcher, or at least carry a mobile depot with a launcher to refit. (And don't forget the probes!)

I'm currently scanning anyway if you want to drop me the J sig...you might be unbelievably lucky. I once found a wormhole worth 4 billion isk after 30 minutes of searching. Big smile

After Dscanning around, I found a POS. its German but some English in the Corp Description so I emailed the CEO. Hopefully will hear back over the next couple of days or I will PM the J code to people here and offer a nice ISK reward. Thank you.

Will keep an eye out. Don't fear posting the J Sig, worst case scenario is you all die anyway. Best case is the locals or a WH'er spots this thread and happens across the system. For a significant reward you may even find people with C2 statics willing to roll for yours (poke my CEO if you're willing to offer up a significant sum, he may help).

Welcome to wormhole space. Blink

Hang out and find people who enter it.

Blow them up.

Hope the probe launcher drops.
