Wormholes

In regards to invasion C1 - minimal chance, c2 pends on the hole (but you'll get alot of traffic)

Tower wise go large or go home and cover it in ecm mods

C1s and c2s ALWAYS have direct connections to K Space

So do c3s

http://swiftandbitter.com/eve/dsp/wormhole.html those are the sizes of the existing signatures. The chart is wrong in some numbers but you'll get the rough idea.

http://wormhol.es/ you can use that site with the IGB (ingame browser) to update your location and get all necessary information. Again, this site is very inaccurate regarding the intel part as of now. (Correct most of the time, but still)

the mass is restricted by the type. You can look that up for any static using http://www.staticmapper.com
Use the lookup static in the middle and combine it with link #1 :)

And yes, many people are passing through c2s - especially c2 static something+c2 is sometimes 7 of those systems kitted together.

Go for a C3, easily doable with a small corp. Best to aim for a lowsec static, highsec ones generate far too much traffic.

Definately setup a large death-star POS, with loads of ECM. Especcially if you are looking to stay. That should dissuade all but the most determined invasion.

The main problem is finding one that isn't already claimed. Either search by pot-luck, or offer isk for people to find one that meets your criteria. Be sure to pay after though, EvE is full of people who will happily take your isk.

Best of luck.

Thx for input, few more things:
- any ideas on which WH class can lead to which WH class?
-> c4 does not connect to k-space, all other can
-> however, any rules on wh <-> wh connections, I am getting contradict info on this, for example:
- a) http://www.tigerears.org/2011/11/14/wormhole-types/ states that pretty much every WH can connect to other WH
- b) http://swiftandbitter.com/eve/dsp/wormhole.html says that C1 can outbound connect only to C6 (and k-space), while it can get inbound connection from other WHs (but that would require someone else on the other side to open it)
-> if b) is true, it would make C1 pretty much useless for habitation [and last thing I would want is static to C6 :} ]

slightly off topic:
- bubbles last forever (unless destroyed)?
- is it impossible to scan down and warp-to container anchored in space? (did some experiments on this myself and couldn't get lock on it with combat probes, but it sounds strange)
- any WH alliances WH noob should be aware of? For example last time I tried bomber fishing in good space, I got 100-men fleet in response, hehe :)
- how do people tolerate being terrorized by stealth bombers? :) needless to say I will not be able to stand face-to-face with any 'massive' fleet; 'afk cloakers' seem to work wonderfully in 0.0 space, but I guess WH guys do not consider it especially 'bad sport'

In practice it doesn't matter. When you live in a wormhole you have to scan exits. Your own wormhole will always have a static exit (sometimes two) to either K-space or another wormhole. Static exits to other wormholes will always lead to the same class of wormhole. Similarlyly, static exits to low-sec always go somewhere in low-sec etc etc.

You will also regularly get connections from other wormholes that attach to yours because they have a static to your class of wormhole. There are some roaming connections that sort of randomly appear.

In all cases it doesn't matter to you *why* you are connected to XYZ, the only thing that matters, especially if you're doing something in your WH outside of the POS shields, is that you scan them down and either put a scout on them or make sure you know if the neighbours are active and likely to try something.


Anchorable mobile bubbles do. Hictor bubbles last as long as you activate the module. Dictor bubbles last for 2 minutes.


correct. EVE will eventually delete cans in space if you don't access them every now and then. I think it was a month.


Wormhole space is like null-sec. Everyone that isn't blue to you is going to kill you, regardless of corp or alliance. I seldom see large fleets in wormholes but seeing 5-10 guys roaming is common enough.

I wouldn't worry too much about people forming up to kill chase you around. in WH's it works a little differently than in null-sec in that respect. In WH's the PVP is a lot of cloaky "rabbit hunting". That takes patience. Instead of ramming a big-arse fleet up your patoosh like you get in null-sec, wormholers are more likely to come out of nowhere and ambush you with 1/2 dozen guys.



What I do when I'm ratting is have a falcon on standby cloaked off the entrance so I can hear the WH activate if someone comes in. Fortunately I live in a wormhole that often only has one exit. One guy in a bomber is going to die. if a fleet comes in then I'll see them on the entrance. If you don't use scouts and/or bubble your exit when you're ratting/mining then you're asking for trouble and probably deserve to get "educated".

What you mostly lose to bombers is haulers doing PI. I never even worry about that, tbh. When you're making 100mil a day on PI, losing a T1 hauler every now and then still gets you the last laugh.

As for AFK cloakers.... they're not bad sport in null-sec either. They serve a purpose and the fact that people find them irritating means only that their purpose is being served.

In wormholes cloaky is the name of the game. When i have time to go rabbit hunting I often put a cloaky in the neighbour's wormhole before they log on, scan all their sigs so I can find them without probes and then go do other things, especially if it's a small corp and I can put them all on my watch list. When I see that they start doing something I'll watch what they do and try to get a kill or two if I can. I think a lot of people in WH's PVP like this.

Overal, that's a lot of work and to be honest I'm not overly good at working solo but I do get the odd spectacular kill.

Dunno about that first part I would form a little fleet to chase you around especially if its a slow night

Whats wrong with C4s? finding a C2 with a c3 static is hard and there are no other Wormholes that offer good static Options,[/quote]
CORRECTION: LIVING in a C4 can be problematic, because you can wind up reliant on homesystem sites for income. On the other hand, having a static to C4 space is not bad at all.

if you have 5 or 6 people that can run T3s and logi id do a C2 with a static C4 and some sort of Kspace static.

Take it from me. That's difficult enough to do when an entire alliance has static highs.
