EVE Online - I Got Trapped in a Wormhole! | EWE001

[@joshhill4760]

I've been doing some WH exploring myself recently. When entering a new system I also found it tedious to scan down the entrance hole, but what I've started doing now is dropping my probes immediately, centering them on my ship and setting their range to minimum, then if you scan it instantly finds the entrance hole. Alongside bookmarking it I've found this works quite well as it means you can see it and also have one less thing on the probe scanner to pay attention to.

[@Expedishun]

I did not know you could do that with the probes! Im definitely going to be trying that next time!

[@keldon_champion]

Ya I have been running W space for a long time I just quick bookmark the spot I land in from the WH with control+B while I'm waiting on d-scan because I don't drop my gate cloak until I have checked d-scan anyways

[@melanclock]

If you have cargo hold you should always keep mobile depot and scanning kit in every ship

[@relaxationparadise7645]

I am amazed at how good they are at finding me too. I run and hide everywhere. They find me anyways. I thought cloaking was 100% safe. Nope they through a few wrecks at the exit and I got demolished. These guys are good who live in there. They know every trick to decloak you.

[@asmi06]

Even if you bookmarked the wormhole exit, there is no guarantee that it will be there when you warp back to it, as others might have rolled it while you was busy doing sites and whatnot, or maybe your ISP or power suddenly goes out long enough for that WH to collapse naturally. Therefore you ALWAYS need to have some means of scanning while daytripping into WH, if your ship can not fit scanner for some reason (or you don't want to as it will severly compromise it's utility), bring an alt with you into that WH which can. You can simply safelog that alt right after you entered the wormhole so that you don't have to worry about it getting spotted/scanned and killed, but remember the rule - scanner always goes in first and leaves last. Back in the old days when I lived in a WH solo and there were no citadels, I had to keep an alt logged off inside my WH at all times in case I get podded out of WH and that logged off alt will be the only way for me to get back in to my stuff.

[@umadbroimatroll7918]

Oh man, please please use safe spots by making a bookmark while warping, then the people chasing you can only use combat scanners which will show up on dscan. When you were 100km off the wh I knew they would be able to get you since they could also just warp 100km off the wh, but it's a good learning experience if anything

[@Expedishun]

I will definitely use random bookmarks to escape, never actually thought of that.

[@wolfarooo]

@@Expedishun First thing I do entering Jspace (after saving the exit, ofc;), assuming I'm going to spend any time there; is to create a safespot - well off grid between celestials. After that, you can use that safe to create a 'deep' safe - which is off the laneways between celestials. Using the system map is a good tool to determine the optimal spots to create your BMs while in warp. Rinse and repeat until you have a handful of more secure locations to bop between while being hunted:)

[@raelarmansky6311]

WHs starting "J00..." are shattered. All kinds of riches!

[@Expedishun]

I did not know that, I will definitely keep that in mind!

[@cholohd32]

Couple of hints (that i use): - Always check remaining "lifetime" before entering a Wormhole (WH). - Always assume that the wormhole exit will collapse when you are in the WH especially if "Large Ships" can pass thru, as if anyone lives in that WH they will most likely guard it by collapsing the exits on purpose (another reason why you probably should stay in a WH with structures). - Always bring at least 2 sets of 8 probes, even if i have taught myself to never close the scanner map with clicking the "recover probes" button, you can still loose probes if you internet lag out/dies or similar. - Definately watch a "ninja gas huffing" video even if you arnt after gas it will show you how to make a safe point in space with Control+B, how to pre-align etc. - There are tools to help mapping your route thru WHs, but im lazy & just call the first exit "E1" & then if i dive deeper into another i call it "E2" etc. - This one probably takes a bit of experience, but once im in a WH at my safe spot i do a quick single or 2 overall scans in what appear to be the center of the anomralites just so see how easy they appear to scan. If i dont get a single "easy" scan it usually a sign that the WH has already been explored & only the tougher gas/relic/data sites are left & i quickly dive deeper. I you do get a couple that "easy" scanable one make note of them & scan those down first.

[@warewind]

Great vid, got myself locked in a couple times to learn this myself. The panic of your in the moment is real!

[@Expedishun]

The moment I realised I didn’t save the exit, my heart started getting a little bit faster not gonna lie

[@TheSplitskater911]

When checking the member count of the corp that owns the structure keep in mind wormhole corps mostly use holding corps for the structure so they can’t be war decced.

[@Expedishun]

Did not know that, good information to have, cheers bud!

[@Nedas-ef9ft]

Jump into a crapply little explorer like a heron and go nuts you can easily find 10's of millions from data and relic sites, let alone if you're able to find a highly valuable gas cloud that you can mine in a venture. I recommend not going into a wormhole as a solo miner but they can be used as bait very effectively such as a proc with multiple cloaked ships around it but I just wouldn't recommend using a barge or exhumer in a worm hole unless there are literally no exits and you live there which probably isn't going to happen unless you've rolled the hole/s already. If more valuable mining is something you would like to do i would just say join a null sec corp whether it be one of the big ones or one of the smaller ones (if you do join a smaller null corp it is probably in a alliance with the larger group/s around it). biggest take away from this video i got was just mark your wormholes which is literally the most important thing you can do. hopefully this video will help newbros

[@Expedishun]

Yea, I go in with a Buzzard, and if I want to mine gas, I come back with my prospect, and do it that way. I'm in a Null Sec corp, currently mining some Merc and Ice. When I get some time to sit down, I will be going exploring and maybe gas mine for a while.

[@rayderrich]

Most of us have been there, so this is a relatable event. Consider it good content and move on, I will happily listen to more of your stories.

[@Expedishun]

Yea, learning experience for everyone

[@CruentusV]

excellent video about caution...

[@Expedishun]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@ohhkennny766]

Getting stuck in a WH isn't the bad part about getting stuck in a WH, it's having to search the next WH's and pray no one else is camping the exits in them xD

[@Expedishun]

Oh for sure, there's nothing worse than finding a wormhole exit, only to find there campers on the other side haha

[@brianchristopher8843]

My second wormhole and first data site on my first hack that I completed, when the screen closed there was a tengu (however its spelled, the strategic cruiser) already locking me and deploying a scram. I died.

[@Expedishun]

Yea, if you’re in an exploring ship, not much you can do if you get jumped by a tengu.

[@saldainis55]

lost hulk for few kilograms of kernite......

[@Expedishun]

I had to get Kernite for a part of the Career program

[@daveisnothere]

Kernite is also found in low and nul. I personally only use WH's for gas, data and relic sites.

[@Expedishun]

@@daveisnothere I am the same, but when Kernite was available and no gas was, I decided to risk it for a chocolate biscuit. You win some, you lose some.

[@daveisnothere]

Go figure there is one of the career agent missions that is loaded with kernite, back from when kernite was a highsec ore.

[@TheLime-wd3yu]

Unless I'm missing something, I'm not seeing a dscan window on your UI?

[@Expedishun]

Oh that’s cause of a little thing called, “living life on the edge”

[@TheLime-wd3yu]

@@Expedishun 😂 I would rate bringing a Hulk into a wormhole as living on the edge, doing it without dscan is sprinting around on the edge wearing a blindfold. Dscan is your only tool in wormhole space. If you're at a site you scanned down there's always the chance that someone already scanned all the signatures in system and is just waiting cloaked for someone to show up. There's no way to predict or prevent this, but you can at least dscan the site before you warp to it to see if there's anyone sitting uncloaked. Warping to any anomaly in the system that doesn't require probe scanning is the biggest risk, if you don't need probes to find the site expect a combat recon or cloaky ship to just appear on top of you at any time since they can use dscan to find you and you can't use dscan to protect yourself. Avoid the anomaly ore and ice belts at all costs, if someone jumps into the system and sees a barge or exhumer on dscan they're going to immediately check all the belts. Where dscan gets really useful is for new signatures that pop up in the system after you get there. If you scan down a site and you only see 8 probes on scan, you know you're the only person at that site. If you see another set of probes appear, there's someone else actively looking for it. If you see combat probes at any time, leave the system. That's someone fitted for ganking (or an explorer who doesn't know how probes work) and you should assume any site already in the system is a trap. Lastly, if you're within range of your entrance wormhole you can use dscan to check if someone is trying to roll it. If you see a battleship like a Praxis, a hauler, or a heavy interdiction cruiser appearing and disappearing off of scan it's someone rolling a wormhole. If it's your exit, you better hope you're in a quick align ship and get out ASAP!

[@TheLime-wd3yu]

Almost forgot the most basic rule of dscan- if you're undocked in a .4 or less system with unknown players in system with you- check dscan constantly. Especially in wormhole space.

[@Expedishun]

@@TheLime-wd3yu you think I’ve lost so much ships by using D-Scan? 😂 No, but I am trying, being in high sec for so long using D-Scan is something that I have to relearn basically from scratch. Baby steps

[@ZeroWalker26]

I remember back in the day I got stuck in a WH in a Loki and this is way back and im sure there was no eve scout becuse I don´t remember ever seeing any of their cans in it. My only option was self destruct and lose the Loki and lose skill points. Rule nr 1 never ever forget to bookmark the exit and the entrance and always have probes and probe launcher on the ship your in.

[@Expedishun]

Self destructing a Loki. That had to sting a lot.

[@ZeroWalker26]

@@Expedishun yeah for sure but what did sting the most was losing skill points. I think It was like 2-3 days worth of skill points I lost I remember it was 1 skill I had to level 4 and it went back to level 3 and it would take 2-3 days to get back to 4 again. Sure had I lost that in pvp it would been fine but being stuck for 2 days in a WH yeah self destruct was the only way.
