Some people have mentioned that maybe [[citadels]] will change all of this. That would be interesting, but none of the mechanics from above are really affected by the [[Titles#Sophomore|sophomore title]] when it comes down to it. There is no difference in giving the freshman a pos vs a citadel other than the ability to individually store your ships. That would, of course, be ideal. Short of that a freshman [[POS]] with a personal storage hanger could provide a pretty good introduction to [[POS]] mechanics and wormhole space that they can't get anywhere else in E-Uni that I'm aware of. Due to the limited amount of mechanics that the [[Titles#Sophomore|sophomore title]] actually affects, a [[citadel]] would only be a small relief. If that's what opens up the [[WHC]] to the perma-freshman, that would be great, but I'd imagine they already have a [[citadel]] in place. I arrived too late yesterday to attend the noob night in the hole.

==An Alternative: [[WHC]] Annex==

If things aren't changes coming with the citadels, I'd like to see alternate options for learning wormhole life. such as a WHC community college :) You ~~can~~ go there as a freshman to learn the mechanics and participate in efforts that are unique to wspace, such as hole control during pvp, buttoning up a hole for protection, rage rolling the highsec static to get near the desired destination, or maybe something I'm not even aware of because my only way to learn about wormholes is to read the blogs or forums of other corps. The wormhole would be a different hole than the WHC. That way all of the people who are afraid of having to deal with newbies, or are looking for the non-newbie corp feel can stay at the WHC, and the introductory education can be done in the other location.

People right away objected to this when I mentioned it before. One staff member thought keeping the WHC inclusive of newbies was important so the vets can teach the new players. I disagree with this because it's not inclusive now. The new players aren't allowed in at all, unless invited temporarily for an event. This would cause division post-sophomore, but for the perma-freshman, this would be a chance to actually learn about wormholes. Right now the only option for someone with a playstyle that doesn't align with the sophomore title requirements is to leave the Uni and either come back when they have that experience and are looking for something different.
