Basic Ships to Bring
Important: Due to the dangerous nature of PvE and PvP in w-space, and the mechanics of Ship Maintenance Arrays allowing access to all ships in storage, any ship and pod brought into the campus is to be considered lost or stolen. Do not fly what you can't replace.
Also, keep in mind that WSOP is in effect and any sufficiently shiny loss to a war target is grounds for the X title and removal from the WHC. Lack of local and not knowing they are in system is not a valid excuse.
The below are the most basic ships for being useful during your first few weeks in system without investing too much resources in the endeavor. Without these ships, life in the wormhole will be difficult and you will not be able to participate in many activities. Once you are more comfortable with day to day operations and better understand the risks involved, you may consider bringing in more specialized or expensive ships and equipment. Please feel free to discuss other ships to bring with current members or leadership of the WHC.
Scanner
- T1 Exploration Frigate equipped with a probe launcher and a prototype cloak. There are a selection of these stocked in the hangar fully fitted.
- Covert Operations Frigate equipped with an expanded probe launcher and a covert ops cloak.
Combat
- Battlecruiser or Cruiser with appropriate T2 tank, weapons system, cloak and probe launcher.
- Bring modules and rigging for a buffer tank, preferably armor since most PvE and PvP activities are done in armor fleets.
