Ahh newbies and wormholes.

It's not entirely unlikely that the residents of the wormhole though you were cute and tried to keep you as a pet.

Here's a ncq&a classic, good reading and welcome aboard.

For now, you are. It won't last long .

Bravo. Great post, and attitude.

Here's WF 2.0. Not sure how quickly the follow ups are going to be released, but the original videos were (are) great.

Welcome to EVE, sounds like you're going to be fine.

Losing your hole when you're diving solo isn't all that common, it happens all the time when you're with a group, though.

This is why you stick a probe bay on your ship even if you're not "the prober" in your exploration group. I've been screwing around in w-space with a friend and had them collapse an exit right in front of my face more than once. It gets funnier the more you've been drinking.

Probes are fun, probes are life.

Sure is scary fun.

It's a strong contender to be mine to!

For future reference a w-hole has mass, life time, possible effect and how large a ship can pass through it.
Wormholes are categorized from c1 to c6 and they all have different colour schemes.
Each wormhole also has a unique number which you can find from a database here also PVE guide

Special cases of wormholes are the so called shattered wormholes where you find only shattered planets and other things that go against what is generally known about wormholes, also drifter wormholes and Thera.


And since you seem to be destined to explore the wormholes I'd suggest you check the recruitment section for various WH-corps just don't make a mistake of joining some random carebear operation that thinks putting stront in a WH-tower is a waste of time.

Think about taking a mobile depot along for flexibility. If you want your high slots for dps or salvage, but don't want to roll without a probe launcher (hint: never roll without one), bring along a launcher and some probes, and a mobile depot in your cargo hold. When you want to be probey, deploy the depot, refit as needed, and scoop the depot back up. When you want to be shootey, fit that way. It is very quick to deploy, and doesn't have to be kept in space, just unanchor it and scoop it up when you're done. It's basically a portable fitting service in space, and can also hold a bunch of modules inside it, though I've never kept it anchored in a wh, as it can be scanned pretty easily. Carry all kinds of modules to fit your diving ship in different ways, and you can go on extended camping trips through the wh chain without needing to go back to hisec. Unless you need to unload your loot.

Oh, and keep in mind that anyone who sees it on dscan will likely be probing you down to murder you asap.

+1 for jumping into wormholes and having fun!

Yes, I too have felt the sting of a WH gank. lol

Nearly happened again today when my site collection run was cut short in a WH. There I was, minding my own business, when someone appeared. I went to warp away, but alas, I was warp disrupted! EEK! And...he just held me there. I tried flying slowly to the WH entrance, but he kept following me. Unfortunately, I had no guns or any modules to escape (I would have put on a cloak, but trial accounts cannot train for them).

After a few minutes, one of his fellows appeared in an Ibis. I thought "s***!, I'm dead!". Believe me, that was their intention. No guns, warp stabalisers, drones or anything, I was up a creek without a paddle. Unfortunately, I had some loot in my hull, and I wasn't about to let it go without resistance.

Eventually, I tried one last idea (actually, my only idea that didn't involve floating slowly across the estimated 6.4AU to the entrance haha).I made sure I was aligned to the saved entrance and set myself as bait and ejected from my Magnate. The one who warp disrupted me took the bait and warp disrupted my pod. With his focus off my Magnate, I hopped my pod back into my ship, mashed the warp button and flew away!!! Can't believe that worked!!!!!!!

All shields gone, the hull armour with only 17% left, I made it to the entrance, jumped through the WH and docked at the nearest station to repair.

I did a little happy dance in front my computer.

Anyway, I have a few simple counter measures for future similar situations in my training queue. I don't want to have to trust desperate trickery too often. Phew!
