Check out this subforum and feel free to start asking questions on threads etc. Usually, so long as you have checked the search function and the stickied threads first people are relatively helpful and always happy to help a new player out.
Alternatively, dive right in, if you lose your ship and pod, find out who did it and private convo them. Most people are happy to talk and answer questions (based on previous experience).
One of the most important things you can do in W-Space is bookmark both sides of the hole. Never forget to do that. Another thing is always carry the following:
- A probe launcher.
- Two sets of probes. (This is because if you're scanning and you DC, sometimes the probes tend to disappear completely).
- A cloak. Always handy to have one of these.
What with the addition of Mobile Depots in this game, this makes it incrediably easy to refit in space and you should never be left without the ability to scan yourself out. There is no excuse for people to be lost in WH's with that deployable in game.
Get good at scanning. This means train the scanning skills up and get used to using the probe scanner and you'll be able to scan down sigs with relative ease.
As previously stated, it's not the wormholes that are dangerous it's the wormhole inhabbitants who sometimes you don't know are there until it is too late. However that being said you will want to know what type of hole you are in as soon as possible. What class is the hole? (C1-C6) and does it have any effects? (For example taking an armour ship into a Pulsar will reduce your armour tank). So whilst it is the inhabbitants that are the problem, knowing your surrounding is a big thing. There are several sites that you can place the J number into such as Wormhol.es (currently there might be an issue with this site going offline soon), or using tripwire.
Head on over to the Wormhole Subforum (linked above) and check it out.
You also might want to check out some of the following posts too:
FAQ for Wormholes. (read this).

The Complete Unknown. Slightly outdated (by two expansions) but still useful in some aspects.
Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |
