A Question for all of You WH Pilots

Greetings,

I am Nemo, Second-in-Command of the Nova Corps Marines. I started off my EVE existance WH diving and it has been almost a year and a half since I have ventured inside of W-space. To be quite frank I miss it dearly. I am posting this thread with one simple question.

Are there any WH corporation and or allainces that would be willing to sit down with myself and discuss possible blue status for my corporation and or assistance in setting up a C1-C3 outpost.

I am not asking to become a renter, nor am I asking for pet status. All I am asking is a little assistance in breaking back into w-space with a possibility of not dying every six seconds. please contact me either in game or on here if you have any interest in what I posted above.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration in this matter,

Nemo

It actually does but its somewhat rare. Don't expect to join an alliance solely to setup a pos, but that does not mean you cannot dive holes, find a small group, make friends and make an alliance yourself, incorporate the other group and have happy wormhole times together.

I say the above because I've been in both situations before in a prior life.

1) Yup shared a wormhole with another alliance that was not apart of our own.
2) Yup met a friendly wormhole corp (small corp), and we became an alliance.

Its possible, but most likely, you will have to do all communications ingame, as the forums probably not the "audience" you want (You'll be more open to scamming).

I would start your search by hole diving, getting some practice pew, and see what happens.

Don't expect to get into da ubah grups immediately. There are hundreds and hundreds of other wormhole corps out there that are not well publicized.

To summarize, its possible, but will require work.


Yaay!!!!

Hello Crazy Captain Nemo,

There are a few resources that can help you get acquainted with the wormhole groups in New Eden:

[Notable Wormhole Space Alliances and Corporations]

Official Wormhole-related Public/Private Chat Channels

Post your blogs here!

These are all stickied in this sub-forum and will provide a ton of assistance and guidance for you and your friends, coming into wormholes. Unlike other areas of the game, wormholes do not generally operate with the renter/pet mechanics, and although many wormhole groups would have no problem helping you out and guiding you, many groups are not interested in "blue status" and permanent status settings (although temp happens frequently and there are groups that practice blue's).

I'd recommend you join the channels in the Chat thread and ask questions there, get to know members of the area, and start working toward setting up your new venture into wormholes. The blogs/writeups will help you acquant yourselves with the various aspects of wormholes, and if you are unfamiliar with wormhole residency, I'd recommend watching the youtube videos produced by Adhocracy and visiting the FAQ thread stickied in this sub-forum.

Since you are planning to start in the lower classes, I'd recommend you search/locate the wormhole you are most interested, also noting that you have options to purchase wormholes and what not if :effort: Once you find the one you like, group your merry band of explorers and begin establishing residency. While you are doing all of this, I recommend you use the channels, forums (Eve-O and external) to learn more and communicate with other groups.

tl;dr - Many will be willing to help, but few will blue you. Hope this helps!

Your best bet would be to accept a merger. Merge corp A into B, B into A, or A and B into a new corp C. That way you guys can share bookmarks easily and provide enough bodies for hole rolling battleships...

CCP ignore me please, I make too much sense.

I think it would be helpful at this point to clarify that my Corp is not interested in joining an allaince. We are however interested in negotiating for assistance with setting up a base in a lower class of WH and are willing to compensate our benefactors and are willing to compensate an existing organisation for the ability to mine, rat, and run sites without the fear of being blobbed/assassinated.

He doesn't want to rent. He wants to lease, with the added protection of bouncers surrounding him.


This ain't kspace. There is no " Don ". There is no safety or protection. You'll have to earn the right to call on backup, else you'll just have to hire mercenaries to protect you.

That's wormhole life.

My alliance has been living in a wormhole for the past year that has been shared by at least two alliances, bookmarks are a huge pain but it can be managed.

A lot of people will sell you this but cannot actually deliver on it, W-space just doesn't work that way. Previously friends of mine have found groups that just want to farm in peace... and camped their wormhole getting kills like clockwork until they all quit and went back to K-space.

Sounds like you haven´t read very much about living in J-Space until now, right? Mining is nearly impossible without loosing ships. If you go on safety with heavy tanked barges like the procurer, the yield is even less then in Highsec.
There are no rats in J-Space, just Sleepers and they do not act like rats in Nullsec.
All you have is doing combat sites, which do not offer good income in low class holes, are mostly too rare in your home system to do them often enough and so you have to rage roll your static for more of them.

And at least: There is not even 1 single second in Wormhole Live without the fear of being blobbed or assassinated. Not with Caps (in low class WH) but with T3´s, Hacs or whatever you like at small and medium sized ships.

Your corp has 100+ members; you don't need hand-holding.

There are many tiny corps and even solo players who live in lower class holes just fine, and unless you mess up badly, you should be able to do so too.

Hey Nemo,
don't be scared. Fly stuff you can afford to lose and just do it. No one will evict you unless you do something incredible stupid and no one will set you blue either. That is not the way of bob. If you need any sort of advice feel free to hit me in game and we can have a chat on ts.

To further Clarify to the community,

1. I personally have about a year of experience in wormhole diving but most of my corp has no wspace experience at all
2. While my corp has numbers it is not willing to commit to the campaign of driving someone out of their home hole at this time
3. I am not asking for complete safety, no such thing exists in wspace. I am asking for amnesty from the corp/allaince who helps us set up shop simply because they will know our location.
4. I am not asking for protection from all of wspace.
5. We are not looking to move into a WH per se, more like we wish to create a FOB (forward operating base for those without military experience) in one. Which is why spending the assets neccessary to push someone out of their hole is not desirable by the rest of NCM's Board.


My thanks to all of you who have attempted to be constructive and professional,

Good luck with that. With constantly changing entrances this is worthless. One day you can get in your 'FOB' the next day the only entrance is 45 jumps away, deep in enemy sovereign space.

Nemo, I'm sorry to say this, but I suspect you are vastly unfamiliar with how WH space operates.

First, you never tell others where you live.

It's poor security to do so, and living in a WH with others that are not in your corp can, and often does, end badly for one or both parties. Sometimes its the two groups going at each other, sometimes its an outside entity, but more often than not tempers flare, towers get sieged, assets explode.

Second, you never tell others where you live.

Accepting help means being someone's ***** and at their mercy if they are larger than you are. Having someone move you in means they have the chance to destroy your tower before it's anchored. Your ships will not survive, your pods will not survive, your corp may not survive. Losses trying to move in are not uncommon reasons for corps to fail.

Finally, you never tell other where you live.

~

Buying a WH from someone else is often your best method for moving into a empty hole. Use a broker. Get at least one ship inside during this process with a cov-ops, but of course two or more is always better. Trust no one. Assume the seller has alts still inside. Assume someone may have let their game time expire while floating in a POS that used to exist. Know that, at any time, someone from years ago might log back in with a carrier. It happens. Deal with it. Deal with them. Make a deal. (Maybe that carrier is for sale?) But at the end of the day, pod them to K-space, then roll your hole(s).

Oh, and don't talk in local, aside from the obligatory "gf" after a skirmish.
