Wormholes

Due to this thread's usefulness in navigating the dangers of Anoikis, I am making this thread a sticky.

New question on post 3, some clarifications on old questions, and a reminder to all of those new to wormhole space that if you reply to this post with a question, I will answer it and possibly include that question in the FAQ!

Veterans, if you think of an appropriate question for the FAQ, post the Q&A, and I'll consider putting it in the FAQ.

Svo.

Thanks! I realized that the forums won't auto-format unless you have a prefix in front of the link. Even though it doesn't need www I put it there, and most browsers should automatically remove it. If you have any trouble navigating to this link, just remove the www and go directly to:

talocanunited.com/wordpress/

Svo.

The need for "www" has nothing to do with the browser. It entirely depends on how the webserver is configured. "www.example.com" and "example.com" are not equivalent addresses as standard. However, many servers define DNS entries for both and then use a re-direct to send a browser to whichever one the site designer wants you to use.

You might want to adjust those two statements. For one, the ISK/hour in a c1 tops at around 180mil+/hr using a Zealot, using a dedicated noctis. That would yield 90mil/hr, and the noctis does nothing for half the time. Given the range in income depending on your tools, should note that whole span, as c1s can easily be the by far most lucrative out of c1-c4 space due to Blitzing and instapopping of frigs using Scorch. The value for c2s is extremely optimistic.


To the mobile depot: The biggest advantage is being barely gankable. If you run a site in a T3, you can drop MD and MTU and - as you get ganked, refit to nullification and warpcorestabs to just warp off. The only choice for gankers is to instapop the MD. ***** move, but ye.

I have removed a rule breaking post and the one quoting it.

The rules:
5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

How about a link to Tripwire in the tools list?

OH very nice! So it keeps whatever active password was there before? Thanks for the tip, I'll update that one.

Updated the information; I'm still monitoring this post so if you have new things you want added or any of my information gets out of date feel free to poke me :)

Hey Jarvis I think there's a question that speaks to this a bit, but it's kind of hard to fit it all up there so I'll add it here for future reference.

Any hole can have a mass between 500 million and 3 billion. From there it can have plus or minus 10% mass (and inbetween that too, so -4% is possible for example).

So lets say you live in a C2 with a High Sec and a C3 Static. Both of those wormhole types are 2 billion mass (you can check this on websites such as wh.pasta.gg).

We usually divide it down so we can measure it in hundreds/thousands.

2 billion hole = 2000 mass plus or minus 10%.

We would use 2 orcas with no propulsion mod (prop mods add mass) to check to see if the hole masses down at 1000 (250+250+250+250). If it does, it's standard or below in mass (<=2000, as shown by 50% mass down at 1000 or below if we overshot it because Orcas are big). Let's say that it does mass down. We throw another Orca through with no propulsion mod both ways (1000+250+250=1500). It should NOT mass at this point, if it does, it means there's mass that is unaccounted for. If it does not mass, we would throw an Orca through prop off (1500+250 = 1750) and that checks for the 90% mass down. If it masses down, it could be as small as 1800, or as large as 1945. You can bring the Orca back prop on to crush it.

If it does mass down at a weird point, we usually use a Hictor with 3 bubbles and a 100mn afterburner on it. Bubbles on through reduces the mass to a negligible amount (about 2) and prop on back would bring it up to about 75. Rinse and repeat as needed until the hole disappears.

I know that's a bit of text, but if you can understand it, it gives you an idea of what you can do to crush a fairly standard sized hole (2 billion). This also applies for other wormholes that are NOT your statics; if you crush wanderings, they will not respawn in your hole again.
