First thing you need to take care of when planning a POS are the defences. Nothing attracts people like Torpedo or Cruise missile launchers, no Warp Disruptors and lack of any kind of E-War or ~~hardners~~ online at the POS.

Please check out this [http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=817184 Eve-O Forum Topic] before you even consider setting up your POS in the system.[[Image:DEATHSTAR.jpg|border|right|300px|DEATHSTAR.jpg]]<br>

Line 122:

Other then POS defences, you will need:

*Ship ~~Maintrance~~ Array to hold all your ships, as well as providing a fitting service for them.

*Ship Maintenance Array to hold all your ships, as well as providing a fitting service for them.

*Corporation Hangar Array to hold all your modules, loot, spare POS fuel, bookmarks, etc.

Line 338:

*Do the math.

Now you know what kind of wormhole you are dealing with, and you know the max mass that can go through it before it crashes. Well, if the wormhole is not in critical mass stage yet, there's a good chance that you are able to close it. What you need to do is take some heavy ships, preferably Battleships and/or Battlecruisers, and start jumping them back and forward, keeping an eye on the status of mass of the wormhole. Keep one battleship on the far side while doing this. In this example it's a C427 Wormhole which, at it's critical state, (about 5% of total mass limit) allows to jump another 100.000 tons of mass. ~~Thats~~ one battleship worth of mass. Keep track of the number of ships you've jumped trough so far (jump one at a time), and as soon as it gets into Critical stage, jump back the battleship from the far side. If you've done everything right, the unwanted wormhole should close.

Taking control over the exits, maintaining the system clear of incoming wormholes by successfully closing each unwanted wormhole is the key to safety in W-Space. You need to be aware that each wormhole that you leave opened, and not use yourself, is a potential threat, and might eventually get you (and your corp members) killed.

== Long Term Wormhole Operations and Eve University ==

As of now, [[Eve University]]'s rules do NOT allow it's members to maintain a personal POS, whether it's in Known Space or Wormhole Space. This Guide is for people wanting to set up an operation like this outside of Eve University. The only ~~longterm~~ Operation in W-space that was maintained by Eve University was [[D6]], but it doesn't exist anymore. You are however, as a member of the Uni, allowed to take part in Wormhole operations based out of Known Space. You are allowed to take a Fleet into W-space, run the sites there, and take all the loot and/or anything else back out, provided that you follow the [[ROE]] and University's Rules. This Guide was written by a University Graduate, ex-member.
