Scanning the damn things down every day & in every system you visited was tedious.

I dont know that much about WH but I always herd that once you roll a wh another opens? Is that not correct? I do listen to a couple of WH podcast and this subject has come up several times.

Is rolling a hole different for each class of WH?



It's like every other site. They are closed until someone INITIATES warp to it on the originating end. Only then does it connect to a random system that falls within its parameters. It's relatively easy to close down a hole and then just keep an eye out for the stranded and new sigs to pop up. To that end, no WH is truly safe...even with everything locked down. There is no such thing as virtual WH safety.

It won't.

But wouldn't probes show up on dscan and allow a warpout for anyone paying attention?

They drop probes outside your d-scan range (if possible) otherwise they drop them and have them warp outside your d-scan. Then they get a good estimate on your position, get probes ontop of you - hopefully lands a 100% scan, then have the probes warp off once more.

If your D-scanner runs every cycle you might spot them. But seeing you're also doing other things, chances are you'll miss it.

But they also show up to your WH guard as they come into the system too.
