Wormholes

What do i need ?

You first need to acquire at least 3 people with rolling fit hic's

You'll need patience. This is not a fast method for two reasons:

Firstly you need to wait out polarity between jumps through the wormhole.

Secondly frigate holes are the only holes that have a mass regeneration on them. The biggest problem with this is it's impossible to know when the regen cycle starts and you could find that after half an hour of rolling it has regenerated. From regen to regen you have an hour to close the hole.

Also allow yourself enough margin of error, i would say for most people you'll get every 1 in 4 jumps wrong even after a lot of practice.

Don't worry you dont have to be this perfect

So Lets talk a little bit more about what you just saw. In the video i was using a devoter but this is able to be done with any hictor. If speed is something you’re looking for i would recommend the broadsword and going with a fit something like this.



The aim of using this fit is to roll them pesky frigate wormholes that just show up unannounced, once you have acquired a number of people with their own ships, that is key.

At zero on the wormhole you cycle ALL your bubbles at the same time. As you can see in the video i have them set to F1-F4 and almost immediately de-cycle them. You can set them to not auto repeat, for this video i did not have that set.

As the bubbles approach the end of their cycle with 1-2 seconds left on the effect jump the hole, at this point you need to cycle your prop mod.

Congratulations you just succeeded...probably.

How does this work?

Simple, jumping a wormhole has a two part mass sequence when it first reads your current mass and then jumps you through the hole if you are below the max jumpable mass.

Your jump and prop timing is the key to this working. After you jump the wormhole with your bubbles it registers that you are have the appropriate mass and allows you to jump.

At this point your prop mod comes in. With accurate timing your prop and bubbles shouldn't overlap and the mass that you jump with for the second cycle will be the 100Mill + mass of the oversized prop and higgs anchor.

Does this work every time?

The simple answer is yes if done correctly then it will allows apply 100Mill + mass to the wh both ways, however there is a fine line between it working and not working. You have a jump window of approximately 0.6-1.2 seconds.

this is not bug , just clever of use exsisting game mechanics but lets speak CCP about this howewer if CCP wishes to change this then they would also forbit to cycling prop mods i higher-class wormholes its pretty tricky situation and we dont know what might approach next. but this is not bug since you do this in other wormhole types , rolling frigate sized wormholes is just waste of time

Err, a HIC already fits through a C1 hole!

Oh good grief I have to explain this don't I....

Currently the largest mass ship that can fit into a c1 is a retriever, battlecruiser, not battleships except the Nestor. Rolling that sucks amazing amounts of balls. Being able to throw battleship masses through a c1 would make rolling them a good deal easier.

Could you post your feedback here plz ? I would like to know if this is considered legal or not.

Confirming I have tried this. And the effort just isn't worth it. Leave them frig holes to die naturally as intended. I had one regen from crit to disrupted one time and at that for me was enough to put me off.

I actually submitted a bug report when I found out but never heard anything back and IIRC after 2-3 weeks I got an email saying it was closed and If I felt that It wasn't resolved I should reopen it but I just left it alone

Apart from that video. I don't think we have ever rolled a frig hole since. The only benefit I can see is back in the old escalations where you would just shut the world off and krab for a few hours. Now that's gone and the new method isn't as appealing the feign holes are just being left alone or at least used.

Or retaining hole control in respects of attacking/defense. So many times I've heard / read that a battle was swayed because of a frig hole. If this isn't a bug/exploit it can be used to remove frig holes and prevent people flying in using captors etc allowing attackers/defenders an advantage

+1

probably people who use carriers for ratting in nullsec too
