The last time I played eve, W space was new, and when i stopped playing, i was at my corps station in W space. every time i've re-joined eve, ive found myself in an empty pocket of W space, with no scanning equipment, and hence no hope of getting out with out self destructing.

If, as i assume, i'm still in the middle of some random wormhole without a probe, is there any way to get out with my ship intact?

Spam local with scanner and chat. Explain your predicament and hope someone takes pity on you. Otherwise just take the pod express to Known space.

If you're marooned in a class 3 or below with a static exit to empire space you're much more likely to see passersby who might help. If you're in a higher class system or one with a static to nullsec, the odds of finding someone to help before you get massively bored are very slim. If you're unclear about your location, staticmapper.com

I've also seen folks put up want ads on these forums for entrances to specific systems. You'd have to offer a lot of money to make it worth someone's while to actively search for you, though. Would only be worth it over self-destruction if the ship you were marooned in was worth a fortune.

You ran smack dab into the middle of down time xD

11:00 - 11:30 daily if I'm not mistaken.

Run dscan, if you see POS structures warp around trying to find the tower, if it's online then the people that put it up are probably still around living in the hole.

So from there show info on the tower, the corp logo of the corp that owns it should be on that window. Click it and you can see the info about the corp itself and maybe send the corp a mail.

(Mail is your best hope in case they are in a diff timezone and never see your cries for help in local cause they aren't logged in at that time)

Try a petition, returning players stuck in nullsec can get moved to the nearest highsec station, no idea if it'll work wiith WH space but give it a try.
