This is not true (any more at least).

I lived in C2 until recently. While I vas there used that trik above to "lock" wh during weekend so that I can do things in peace. Well, one weekend I lock wh, but while I vas mining I notice a ship on d-scan. I lived alone in the wh for the last few months. I asked him from where he enter. He said from HS. I lock HS wh, he's not suppose to be inside if Marsan statement is true.


And you can be sure you never had a random hole pop up in your system? Or do you play 24/7? while you are BM'ing that sig for later use.

This has been confirmed many times over. If you don't warp it doesn't open.

What Harsan wrote **is** correct ... with the caveat that you do not need to actually warp to the WH signature to spawn the corresponding K162, you simply need to commence a warp to the grid of the WH.

The scenario you describe is common, and I am presently often causing the same for other folk. I enter a w-system and camp it for a variable amount of time looking for kills. Sometimes my camping involves opening up the static a few days later. So you may think your system is empty, and so no-one is in there to trigger the static, but that may not be the case. Once i have triggered your static, without you knowing about my presence, anyone can scan the corresponding K162 and enter your system using it.

I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.

You really can't assume no one is in your hole just because you had no known open holes for a few days. I myself have had alts for days or weeks in occupied systems and opened their holes occasionally without them ever seeing me. For example, if you look for a specific kind of C2 system to settle, you might place a scanner in a random occupied system that has a C2 static. That way, every day you get a shot at finding the C2 you are looking for.

And I had weird visitors myself. Just a few days ago I saw a newbie's pod (not renamed) floating in my system that hadn't had open holes for almost two days. He kept logging on, then 1-3 minutes later he logged off again. This went on for at least 20 times. At first I thought he was having disconnects, but I figure that any sane person would give up after being disconnected twenty times in a row Shocked

I tried to convo the guy and the convo was accepted, but after I asked him what he was doing here he was off again. Next time he came on I scanned down his pod. Since he didn't talk and I have found newbies before that were lost in w-space for days because they didn't realize they can self-destruct, I podded him out of my hole. Who knows how long he had been there...
