Living in Wormhole Space: Difference between revisions

==General Rules==

Like most things in EVE, feel free to break these rules if you know what you're doing. You should probably consider them closer to guidelines.

Any ship you bring into W-Space should be considered already lost, be it to theft or gank. Consider not flying that shiny HAC you just bought and sticking to battlecruiser hulls a little longer.

Or the lack thereof. Local chat does not exist in wormholes. Therefore, enemies are virtually invisible until they decide to be seen. Whenever you are out of the Citadel, you should be mashing D-Scan every chance you get. You should also keep an eye on chat and an ear on Mumble. If somebody states that there is an emergency, get to safety to assess the situation and form a response. If you are not in Innuendo you can warp to a safe spot if you have a cloak or bounce between safe spots if you don't.

==Living out of a Citadel==

===== Access =====

===== Clones =====

===== Destructible =====

When you are undocked but within range of the citadel your ship will automatically be tethered to the station. This provides you with immunity to incoming damage, and will allow the citadel to remote repair damage to your ship and drones. Though you are invulnerable, you can still be bumped out of tethering range. You will lose your tether as soon as you target other players, and if you activate offensive modules, warfare links, triage or siege modules. To be tethered by a citadel you need to have docking rights to the citadel.

An SMA can store 20 million m3 worth of assembled ships.  There are no divisions within the SMA, as such all ships stored are accessible by everyone who has access to the structure.

*To store your ship in the SMA, right click the array and select '''Store Vessel'''.  

The CHA can store 1.4 million m3 worth of items including un-assembled ships.  There are 7 divisions within the CHA, each controlled in the same way as station corporate hangars. Within EVE University this is done according to [[titles]].

*It requires elevated privileges to remove assembled containers from a corporate hangar. Within EVE University only [[directors]] are able to do this.

*Even if you have privileges, you can't extract items from the containers without first removing the container from the Hangar into your ship's hold

The PHA is 50k m3 that only you can access. Directors can view but not take items from here.

== Daily Activities: how to keep them safe.  ==

[[Image:Scanning - 9.PNG.png|border|right|300px|Scanning - 9.PNG.png]]

Each day new signatures and anomalies spawn in your system. Since the release of Hyperion, signature ID's are consistent over downtime. You will have to keep track of every single signature ID and anomaly. You will have to keep track of them to know what kind of sites are there and what your system has to offer that day. Here's how:

*Scan each and every signature. Record them all (you should probably have this feature in your mapper).

*Bookmark the sites into corp bookmarks.

*Ignore all sigs in your probe scanner

*Check for new sigs appearing - the Agency icon in the Neocom bar will flash when a new site appears.

=== Running Anomalies  ===

Even if you are running a Class 6 anomaly in battleships with logistics support you cannot feel safe. Someone can and will come to gank you, as shown here: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RBMK-dqqIc Youtube - Class 6 Wormhole Gank]  

*'''Perimeter''' sites are generally Low difficulty.  

*For Class 5-6 expect to see Core sites.

=== Mining ===

[[Image:Miningexample.jpg|border|left|250px|Miningexample.jpg]]  

Everyone in W-space will gank a mining op if they see one, so when mining, always&nbsp;make sure that there are no incoming wormholes in your system, always watch directional, or even have a scout at any wormhole exit. You <s>cannot</s> can mine aligned (this does take a bit of planning, but if you spend a lot of time in the ore sites, this technique (to be added) might be useful), and you can make it a bit harder for someone to find you. As of the Odyssey update, asteroid fields are anomalies, showing up on normal scanner without probes. They can be warped to immediately upon arrival in system by a hostile ship. To be safe(er), do not mine without a picket on the WH entrances. Keep an eye out for new signatures that might be new WH connections. Try not to use jetcans for mining, as they can be bookmarked to provide warp-ins on you. Haul in cheap industrial ships, as often as possible. Don't use an Orca for picking up ore. Orcas draw attention of gankers. Warp out at any sign of unknown ships and probes on directional. Better to be safe than dead.  

=== Gas Huffing ===

=== Planetary Industry in W-Space  ===

The biggest advantage of PI in W-space is the ability to make some of the POS fuel on the site, it saves you hauling that fuel in, less logistics stress. You can also make various items, that you can export to K-space and sell for profit.&nbsp;  

What's dangerous about PI, you ask? Well, managing PI itself doesn't involve any risk (yet), but hauling the goods can be tricky.  

=== PvP in W-Space  ===

[[Image:Corpseimagefrozenpopsicle225.jpg|border|left|150px|Corpseimagefrozenpopsicle225.jpg]]  

=== Rolling Wormholes ===

Most of the time, your static exit(s) to either K-space or another W-space system will be the only exit, and that is what you count on. It keeps you safe, It keeps things predictable. But W-space is far from being predictable. Very often a wormhole will open up in the system, an incoming wormhole, that you wish wasn't there. It might give you some opportunities, but It might as well bring trouble. How to handle these wormholes, how to take control over the traffic in a system and how to close unwanted wormholes? Well, let me explain:  

'''Unwanted Wormholes'''<br>  

*Check the mass remaining on the wormhole (is it critical? what does the description say?). Jump back.

*Do the math.

Wormhole exit (K162) does not exist until somebody initiated warp to signature of wormhole entrance. This makes it possible for small disciplined collective to fully seal a wormhole system in which they live. If  

# There is no trace of non-friendly pilot present in the system

then no new hostile capsuleer can find the system until new WH exit emerged.
