To participate in the most common activities you need an armor tanked battlecruiser with any kind of weapons, plus a scanning frigate. This will get you started and will let you get a grasp of what is going on and what to focus your training for by engaging in a range of different activities. For example a T1 battlecruiser such as a [[Brutix]] can participate in both PvP and PvE activities. A CovOps frigate can map out the wormhole chain, act as a picket, scout out wormholes for potential PvP, and even act as hero tackle on occasion.

If you have any further questions, there is a [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=236&t=73736 Q&A Thread on the WHC forum] where current WHC members will be more than happy to help.
