Jenesa UMEC 0	Posted - 2012.07.13 23:00:00 - [1] - Quote This is probably common knowledge to many, but not to me...so here is my story: I was tinkering with using probes and discovering secret mining sites or a NPC spawn when I tracked down a worm hole. I had never found one before and was curious. I bookmarked the opening and decided to take a peek in my Buzzard. With excitement I flew to the opening and hit enter. What would I find? I thought perhaps an NPC spawn or an exotic belt of rare minerals in deep 0.0 space. Perhaps an empty system willed with hidden treasures. I discovered fog. I then discovered that local was not showing anyone in system (I missed the message telling me it was interference) so I opened my map to see where I was, and I thought I saw a Rifter. No I was mistaken. I then saw another person, and I was excited, perhaps others were joining me in exploring this part of the game. The other ship locked on and warp scrambled me, and started to pew pew. What? How was this happening? Where was I, and why didn't anyone show in local? Well I soon popped and was podded and back in my home station. After sending an email to the evil evil killer of my ship, she explained that there were towers and they regularly camp the exit. Apparently the entrances change but all lead to the same place, giving them the time to set up camps and towers and such. So that was my introduction to worm holes. My advice to others like me, is fly with a buddy, use a spare ship and be ready to die pretty fast if you aren't aware of what happens out there. From now on I'll stick to finding belts. Happy trails! Jen

Thank goodness you told me!

ISD Dorrim Barstorlode ISD Community Communications Liaisons 83	Posted - 2012.07.14 06:20:00 - [17] - Quote This sort of activity happens on a regular basis in W-space. Most people call it the frontier of eve due to a number of factors, which include but are not limited to: - Delayed Local Channel - Entrances and Exits that have to be scanned down to move from J-sig to J-sig - A flat -1.0 security status in all J-sigs - A bunch of trigger happy pilots that would love to shoot you first and not ask questions later. If there's one piece of advice I can really impart, it's that if the hole you find in High Sec space is a k162 (the type of hole as it shows on your overview and information window), it means that hole was opened from the system you're considering jumping into. Caution is advised. If you want to know more, there are plenty of helpful wormhole dwellers and guides in the Wormhole Forum. Hope that helps.

Needless to say, I promptly left. They didn't even target me, so I guess they were just being nice to the poor scrub in a Heron, or they were all bio-ing. I consider myself lucky.

Seleia O'Sinnor Drop of Honey 241	Posted - 2012.07.14 09:10:00 - [22] - Quote If you come from hisec, you can always leave the wh even when scrambled just be in range: 5km. W-Space is a harsh place but can be fun. Delayed local is something many people really enjoy since CCP doesn't get it that it's not used a chat channel but free intel in low/null and therefor changes the game completely. I hate local. EGD: If you jettison what's in your brain, at least expect can flipping.
J3ssica Alba Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 509	Posted - 2012.07.14 11:18:00 - [23] - Quote The only time i found a camped wh entrance (with like 10 ships) the hole closed behind me just as I jumped through. Was an "oh crap" moment. Somehow I managed to cloak and fly directly upwards evading the swarms of drones and moving ships as they desperately looked for me. Took me an hour of moving at 22 m/s before they finally gave up and I felt safe enough to warp to a random celestial and another 3 hours to scan down a fresh exit. All this at 3am. Don't really want to repeat that experience again This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.-á Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless

Indeed, +1 more curious pilot having the same first adventure with similar result ;) Anazzar wrote: You are now experiencing that cold sinking feeling when you realise you are stuck in a WH. This too, managed to avoid getting podded, leaving alone in a pod with no exit bm. So I had to add the experience of podding myself to the list ;)

Omega Sunset Caldari Roughnecks 0	Posted - 2012.07.14 21:32:00 - [33] - Quote Jenesa wrote: What would I find? No need to be turned off by them, just do a little research while you are floating outside the wormhole. The entrance has a name, and gives a clue as to where it may exit. Lots of resource sites on the interwebs, search google for: eve wormhole database
Xearal Black Thorne Corporation Black Thorne Alliance 311	Posted - 2012.07.14 23:59:00 - [34] - Quote I remember the first time I went into a wormhole.. I was still rather noobies, but I had found exploration to be interesting, fun and worthwile to do. And when I mentioned I had found a wormhole leading to a C1 ( yes, I had done the homework ), some corpies were also interested in trying out W-space. we formed a fleet, and I while people were coming to join me, I scanned down everything in the hole, then left and grabbed a combat ship, my beloved Dramiel ( without probes, oops.. nobody has probes with them now ), our fleet moved in and whiel I had also done the math on the size of the hole so we could go in and out comfortably, I had not accounted for our salvaging ship, which was a hurricane.. that was tanked and whatnot, so didn't have that much cargo room. We did a bunch of sites, then when the salvager came back in at some point, told us the hole had collapsed behind him. So I asked him how on earth that could have happaned, and then I get told it was a cane.. Ouchies.. now our whoel fleet is stuck in here and we don't have scanner probes with us to scan a new highj sec exit. LUCKILY, I had scanned down some other wormholes inside the wormhole. So we went looking at them, to see where they lead, first 2 went further into W-space.. bad idea.. last one went into null sec. At least it was K-space.. so better than nothing. We jumped through with our ragtag fleet, and end up deep in the drone regions in Solar space. up till now, nobody of us had had any pvp experience, ventured into low sec, let alone null sec or sov space.. so we were all.. ohh ****. Our most 'veteran' player had heard some stories on how this was done.. things about a scout ahead, flying to celestials to avoid bubbles and some more stuff. By luck, the only thign we encountered on our 20 jump trip to high sec was a lone pirate in a pod. Which I couldn't resist giving an express trip to the medical station. ( My first pod kill.. ) Eventually, we managed to get ourselves back to our own home near Hek, feeling very much relieved, and much wiser about wormholes. It most definitely was a harrowing adventure for a bunch of noobies in waay too deep, and in the middle of the night. I lost half a night's sleep on that, and about another half night of sleep because of the adrenalin rush from the whole thing, but it was SO WORTH IT! PS: now 2 years later, I still have that dramiel. Of all the ships I have, it's my most precious, because I found the BPC as a 2 week noob, built it, used it, enjoyed it, and now still have it. ( no I don't take it out for PvP, I'll buy other dramiels for that if I want to fly a drammie in pvp, this one is sentimental )

Uris Vitgar Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 1	Posted - 2012.07.15 18:50:00 - [37] - Quote I've jumped into about a hundred wormholes in my time in eve and not a single one was camped (although the entrance was bubbled a couple of times). In fact I've never observed combat of any kind in a wormhole at all, and the few ships that are on scan are always sitting in a pos doing nothing. Did the inhabitants all just cloak up the instant they see a harmless anathema popping through?

I've scanned down a few dozen in highsec recently, and most of them were populated by medium to large industrial corps. Went into a C3 about a week ago and 2 carriers were camping the gate. Seems like every WH corp I find are either German or Russian.
