If the J-whatever system is valuable to a buyer, you sit in there until you sell it.
Then you find a convenent path to highsec and show it to the buyer, who then occupies the hole himself.


Aha. Thanks, I understand now. I also see alts rearing their heads, since the real me won't want to cool their heels waiting for a buyer, but such is life.

Here's another question, hijacking the OP's thread. I've seen mention of selling wormholes. This seems an obvious thing for an explorer to do, but I can't see that the wormhole location itself has much value. Presumably one has to scan down some of the stuff beyond... so, please, what makes a saleable package?


As mentioned there are many aspects that can make a wormhole system unique - planet types, system effect, static connection etc. You can use staticmapper or some other similar site to get a read on the system you are in. (Also if you add that site to your "trusted sites" in the in game browser it will automatically load the system you are in!) The main reasons people are looking for a specific type of hole are:

1. PI - specific planets that can maximize their profits
2. PVE - favorable system class and static class for their intended site running procedure
3. PVP - favorable static to find activity and a favorable system effect (pulsar for shield comps etc.)

However, usually the best way to go about selling a wormhole is to keep an eye out in the wormhole subforum and the buy/sell orders subforum. People will post things like "looking for unoccupied C3 pulsar with lowsec static" and then you can go hunt for something suitable. I once sold a wormhole location for 4 billion isk. The buyer was looking for one of two specific systems and lucky me I found one of them within 30 minutes of looking! Don't expect to always be so lucky though. Big smile

First question - anything within 2500 m of you will decloak your ship, that includes your own probes.
Second question - dunno, sorry :)
Third question - if you activate your cloak it stops any reloads that are in progress including the probes.
Fourth Question - Virus strength and luck
Fifth question - Relic/Data/Combat anomalies all respawn when completed. They respawn somewhere else though, probably in the same constellation.
Sixth question - most don't talk



Not sure if anyone else corrected it yet but decloak range is 2000m, not 2500.

This thread is great. As a fellow newbie, there's a wealth of information here that I wouldn't have thought to research on my own, so seeing mechanics, or tactics explained like this is wonderful.

I also just wanted to chime in and confirm that lowsec, is generally quiet, but also quite friendly in general, in the week I've spent getting blown up there, I've been ignored, or spoken to, but never abused (well, unless you count the ship on ship violence as abuse hehe). I've met quite a few very cool people already among my killers.

Grrr.
