Second character doesnt have to mean second account. you can have a second character on the same account with basic scanning skills and move it in the WH with you before you jump in the combat ship. so if anything happens, like someone closing the hole behind you. You can log onto him.

People are saying no to the Raven as young characters generally have their skills spread around a bit. if you've focused into it yeah you're probably ok. Go take a look at ISIS for the Raven and see if you're missing anything critical.

Chilling in someone's WH without POS access is kind of a bit of a worry. If someone comes hunting you're not going to have anywhere to run to. The NPC timer is going to prevent you from cleanly logging out at a safe in emergencies and unless you're going to burn 2 high slots for a cloak and a probe launcher you may be in a bit of trouble.

Also if you're AU TZ, jump into the EVEDownUnder chat channel. It's where all the cool kids hang out.

@Amak Boma - Unfortunately I do not want to use an ALT (I am playing this game both as a player and role-player, so yeah, and yes, i know this will limit a lot of what i can do, but i am not changing that just so i can get easy street, i like a challenge, and if that means losing DPS for a Probe Launcher, then so be it).


The alt is another character on the same account that can probe a wormhole opening to hisec when your main character gets podded out or the hole closes behind you when you leave to sell/explore. In roleplay terms just think of it as inviting your kid sister to tag along in the wormhole. Unfortunately a probe alt is just a fact of life for living in a wormhole.

If you want to get a better feel for wormhole life I'd recommend finding a C1 or C2 that doesn't have an active POS in it and just setting up a small tower as a sort of overnight campsite. You'll need starbase roles in your current corp which might be a problem if they run POSes anywhere else. Many people just form their own personal corp to run a POS.

But with a small you can put up a ship maintenance array and store a few fits. A combat site ship, a prober/scanning ship, a destroyer with salvagers, hauler for holding the loot, venture for gas huffing, PvP ships and so on. A small tower with just a SMA can field a couple guns/shield hardeners and gives you a safe place to run to without being a huge isk sink. Just don't consider it a permanent home(use larges or at least mediums for that), but as a wormhole weekender.
