I have a little spare RL cash and can afford
a) new kitchen gadgets (cool gadgets are cool)
or
b) bathroom refit (cosmetic changes make wifey happy).

Which should I go for?



I don't think an egg timer is a kitchen gadget

Do you wish d-scan had an auto-repeat feature. Seems funny CCP will make less clicks for Pi people but not WH people.


no that would make it too easy. hitting scan should be a concious choice that requires micromanagement.

It wouldn't make much of a difference either way, experience players will press it and pay attention to it, inexperienced won't even if it has some automatic feature every 5 to 10 seconds or so. Either way, the best way to ambush people in WH's is still and always will be to use a cloaky to sneak up on them.

It has come to my attention as i lurk through the forms, many people of eve have no idea how WH's work or what it is like to live in one, so as a person who has lived in a C4 wormhole for 6 months and a C5 WH for 1 year, I am happy to answer any questions that may ponder the capulers of known space to the best of my abilities.


Good :) This is what people who have yet to venture into Wspace need, some clarity :)

Online guides can only go so far... I think the best thing to do is just go and sit in a WH for a week solid or more. Experience it first hand.

That is what I am doing right now.

It is easy to scan your way out, just bring plenty of probes in case you leave some behind in a panic, and rethink why you got yourself into that panic into the first place. Oh and begin with stick to C1/C2's as most are empty I think. But you really only have a choice of what is visible in each system when you scan it out.

I would recommend you scan out a WH to W-space in a quiet system, not a mission hub or trade hub as that increases the chances of the other side being camped and yourself getting bombed to smithereens. THat has happened to me sometimes so avoid busy systems for a W-hole.

Even if you don't do any sites, just find a quiet W-space system and sit in it for a weekend explore to get over the initial fear factor. Get more comfortable with it, as you would with entering lowsec/null sec for the first fime.

As with anything new, don't fear it, embrace it and get the most fun from it :) If you fear something, why bother playing the damn game?

Also, don't be afraid to talk in local lol, I do it all the time, doesn't scare me, if anything, its an opportunity to troll :)

agreed, from someone who tried everything in eve, from FW to 0.0, i can honestly say living in a WH is the best experience ever, it has a good balance of PVP, none of those blobs, the amount of isk you make is insane, like 500mill a day, mostly from gas mining and doing sites. Its just awesome, but after living in WH for so long, you feel lost when you go into known space lol.
