Wormholes are interesting in that they are the one place in New Eden that you actually don't spam warp when you are running out of structure. And it'll stay that way until CCP allows probe launchers in pods.

The corp I've grown accustomed to and enjoy doesn't operate in wormhole space.

I suppose I could join GSF's holesquad but I don't know how active they actually are.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Confirming that W Space does indeed rock the casbah. It needs some work... but being the industry supply within our alliance and Crius and it's impending sexiness we are mostly having all of the fun.


And most of my corp mates are the most pvp averse gamers ever... they are slowly coming to terms with ''I will kill that bastard!'' and knowing that in W Space... noone can hear you scream... unless everyone is on comms

I started EVE a year ago, started out as a high sec miner and I remain so to this day.

I haven't ventured out to wh mainly due to not having proper combat skills.

I also don't know much about WH but I will actively look into this as I do want to make the transition from miner to fighter. If I had a more up-to-date PC I'd have more than one character, a fighter on one client and miner on the other.

This thread reminds me of the time I said WHs were camped by skeletons in German WWII uniforms and this German guy went completely mental at me. I guess he had a bit of a nationality complex lol.


Now that's just funny. Sounds like he just needs to pull the stick out.

Because I don't want to become like this poor guy - which is what happens when you spend too much time in wormholes.

There's a pretty good discussion thread going on about why null does or doesn't interest them. So I'd like to start up one on the reasons you have for living, or not living, in W-space.

For me is the more dynamic nature of life there. Changing connections, no local, no stations. For me it just gives EVE a much different feeling, where High/Low/Null all feel stagnate and dull.


No wormhole corps accepted my applications because I refused to become a member of their favorite website.. Pure and simple.

I'm in Null Sec simply because the corp I'm in gave me a home.

TEST requires that you be a member of REDDIT for at least 3 months. They denied my app because I wasn't.

GOON requires that you be member of Something Awful for at least 3 months.

I'm sure there are more. It's the silliest recruitment scheme I've ever seen. I refuse to jump on a website forum and pretend to care just to get into a corp.

Except Goonswarm and TEST are both nullsec alliances, not wh corps, so your post doesn't make any sense.

I see a lot similar reasons being expressed in this thread.
Basically, to enjoy living in a wormhole your interests gotta match the following:

  • Hunter mentality - You enjoy the hunt and favor PVP over PVE. Isk per hour is irrelevant to you.
  • Scanning, and more scanning - If you hate scanning you will hate wormholes. Period.
  • Content creator - Some people sit in a POS or station expecting to e spoonfed content. In a wormhole it's up to you to take the initiative.
  • Be Social and contribute to your corp - No one likes the silent, selfish type in wormholes.
  • Skills - Skills as in knowing game mechanics, and being a confident and skilled solo pilot. (Applies in fleets too).
  • Skillpoints - While not mandatory to enjoy wormhole life, know that most wormhole entities rarely fly Tech 1 ships.
  • Be Online - Be active and be logged in as much as you can and have time to. Wormholes are no place to play 'skillque online'.
  • Be Mature - Be respectful to others, and don't **** up local or cause unnecessary drama.
  • Environment - You gotta enjoy the dynamic environment and constantly changing wormhole exits.
  • Tinfoil Hats - Always carry extra tinfoil hats. You know the moment you stop hitting Dscan you will miss those combat probes. And just because local is "empty" doesn't mean no one is cloaked 10km away from you, watching you, getting a warpin for the fleet behind that newly spawned K162.


That's the basics that I can think of right now, I most likely forgot something but meh, it's 3am as I write this.



This pretty much sums up the requirements for a successful WH pilot

Real life make likely that I can spend liek 4-8 days without login into the game. Wormhoel is too volatile for me to risk that.
