I thought W-space was suppost to be the MOST DANGERIOUS place, i am finding it the safest place in Eve. I am often AFK in W-space and surin tthese forums without fear of being in danger lol. This W-system is my personal region taxi :)

Obviously someone who didn't even know someone lived there because Miilla didn't even dscan any planets out of range of the entrance(for 2 days?)......has very valuable opinions.

is it true that wormholes when formed, don't actually open the other side until they're jumped through or are both sides open on forming?

can somebody explain how wormhole formation works regarding entry and exit on forming.

Why do you say that WH are too easy/safe when you obviously dont know that much about them ?

Lol, I dont maintain a kb, that is just partial information from what other people upload, I have lost far more cheetah's than that probably 10x more which isn't shown on BC because all KB's are inaccurate by their inherant design being dependant on everybody publishing but not everybody does - i dont :) :)

So...you're even worse than that?

KB's are stupid anyway and a waste of my time.

So, apparently, is proper scouting.

Hi again Miilla,

I guess when I explained this in local yesterday I wasn't very clear. And I never said we were safe. I merely mentioned that we don't open them. (unless we need something from it). We have holes from random places all the time and often take the opportunity to visit our neighbors and vice-versa. There is no local and CCP removed the jump counter so any mechanic still in place to allow us to run sleeper sites without getting our sh-t shoved in from out of nowhere we take advantage of. We may not run anomalies for days with 4-5 random holes opening up but on the other hand that does create opportunities for potential targets. Every wormhole resident employs this technique and no one is naive enough to think they're safe by keeping it closed.

We hope you are enjoying your taxi ride with us. Please stop by the POS for cake and ice cream.

Love,
Slade

Scouting is for boy scouts :P dib dib dib

Oh I am always aware of what is not cloaked around me and I never sit in the same spot for long and am always moving :) - and when I light the MWD; I make sure I am not in that close proximity after and always change direction once I unlight it and recloak :)

The really only time to be paranoid of the scanner is when your uncloaked running some site or entering / exiting a potential camp.

Wormmhole system can be pretty safe. If you put scouts on all the entrances, keep scanning for incoming holes you can run sites as nearly as safely as a well protected NS system. That said unless you have people on high alert 23/7 it's easy for a cloaky ship to sneak in. Generally this just means a lost miner or hauler or 2, but they can always scan a way in for friends. It's not uncommon for the more aggressive alliances to put a sleeper in your system to watch you for weeks prior to an assault.

PS- C2 are hard to keep secure as they are the crossroads of w-space. A lot of c4-6 systems which are held by active groups have a static C2 connection which they use for logistics. But don't think if they spot an active fleet they won't take advantage of the situation.

Why is the worst C&P troll in the wormhole forum?

Back to topic ... let me get this straight. You are saying if a w-system has exits that can only be opened from the w-system side then if you never open them you are safe? This logic is flawed, because that means there are wormholes into your w-system that only open from the other side, beyond your control, and that makes it less safe.

I routinely scan for wormholes because I want to where they are and where they lead, so I better understand the risks.

all the stuff this person says

Hey gais! I was just wondering if we could cover this stuff again in another thread? We don't have nearly enough threads covering this topic yet.

Funny, I don't have to think i'm safe, I've been in W for weeks now and am now, It isnt me who said I feel safe, it is the corps inside saying theyre safer because they keep the spawned WH closed. Just asking why this is the case and why it is needed in the game. To me it goes against what W-space was sold as. DANGERIOUS!

Just wondering what this "keeping the Wormhole closed" idiocy is about.
