* You are able to use a [[Cloaking|covert ops cloaking device]]. Because of the lack of local chat, cloaking is a necessity in wormhole space. While WHC strives for inclusivity, it is ultimately not practical to achieve our teaching mission without this fundamental ability. Unfortunately, since cloaking is locked behind the Omega character state, Alpha characters are not able to obtain it and, as a result, cannot join WHC. | * You are able to use a [[Cloaking|covert ops cloaking device]].

Once you've applied, a Community Coordinator will review the application and approve it, giving you access to our structures and our discord channels. This can take anywhere from hours to a couple of days depending on how swamped our staff is.

Because members tend to interact and rely on each other more than other parts of the University, WHC has some of its own conventions and rules. While most of the community etiquette is easy to pick up as you interact with other players, our policies are covered in detail in its own page for your reference. New members are not expected to know everything, but many policies are important for day-to-day operations. | Because members tend to interact and rely on each other more than other parts of the University, WHC has some of its own conventions and rules.

Wormhole space can be lucrative. Combat sites, gas clouds, ore anomalies, and hacking sites are all some of the best in EVE. Consistent with EVE University's mission statement, WHC adopts an inclusive, group-focused approach to PvE. Members are encouraged (and in some cases, expected) to make an attempt to invite other members to participate. Luckily, due to the ability to roll new connections, there is literally never a lack of opportunity for new content. | Wormhole space can be lucrative.

[[Gas_cloud_harvesting#Fullerenes|Fullerene gas clouds]] found in J-space are not found anywhere else, and they are critical to Tech 3 and capital production.

As any daytripper knows, [[relic and data sites]] can be a healthy income source with a very low barrier to entry. Like null-sec, low-class (C1-C3) wormhole systems contain pirate-named data and relic sites, which are among the most profitable. In addition, if you get lucky, wormhole-specific [[Ghost_Sites|superior ghost sites]] can occasionally drop items worth billions of ISK. | As any daytripper knows, [[relic and data sites]] can be a healthy income source with a very low barrier to entry.
