1 very useful scanning trick once u have learn the ropes is to use planets and moons to faster scan down sites. Cosmic signatures are designed so that they can only spawn within 4AU from a moon or a planet. Using this knowledge we can place the center of the probes on the planet itself or inbetwinn the cosmic marker and the moon/planet and set the scan radius down to 4AU right away instead of 8AU. If there are multiple moons/planets around u can still miss your target but in most cases there is only gonna be 1. Ofc the better your scanning skills are the faster this is gonna go, but this 4AU trick will save u alot of time in the long run when scanning for anything.

[@captainbenzie]

Awesome tip, thank you!!

Was about to say the same thing. Good job mate. 👍

I clearly was in violation of the WH police. got destroyed, capsule and all in WH space. then a mail requesting 10 mil fine. I love WH space. Gas mining is my Jam.

[@soulcheese7149]

Highly recommend creating a separate filter in your overview to use exclusively by D-Scan. Typically only including ships and probes.

[@captainbenzie]

Exactly how I now have it set up 😊

[@MrCefus]

I've had an account with Eve on and off for years, mostly ice mining. I've been giving the scanning thing a go this time around and this video answered a bunch of questions I wasn't sure how to answer. Thanks for the tips, good stuff.

[@captainbenzie]

Awesome! I hope it helps you find more fun!

[@versinussyrin577]

While i wasnt into exploration, now i am kinda in it I even managed to survive mining arkornor in a wormhole and getting a full load, before i had to run from someone jumping on me It was a nice first time experience

[@captainbenzie]

That's awesome! Well done!!

[@ianemery2925]

You dont need to use those icons at the bottom, just double click inside the system display and it will flip all on it's own. Double click again, and it will flip back.

[@captainbenzie]

Very good point, but wanted to demonstrate it clearly for this video 😊

[@winterspring6355]

guess I should have watched this 2 days ago was I'm brand new 16 days old when I ventured into my first WH. Was searching for data sites and ta da WH took me half an hour of watching the in game WH basics then you bet I WENT IN ... it was a M555 big enough to pull your house in wow, anyway everyone on rookie help was to busy with their chats to give any substantial help so I wasn't going to let fear and common sense get in my way...once inside I had a good look and there was a whole solar system in there, I had no idea but I could see 6 or 7 cosmic signatures just what I was searching for also 19 or so combat sights and 3 ore sites. So before plunging in I went back out to fetch my relic analyzer which was back at the school... 7 jumps away back I came the next morning because of the information I got by clicking on the WH, I knew it was going to be here for quite a few hrs more. I then had to rescan for it but I had the info written down so was quick...back in I went. First cosmic signature I scanned down turned out to be a data sight just what I needed for the capsuleer event. Was more difficult to scan than usual but I got it. Grit me teeth and headed for it forgot to bookmark the entrance oops also more important forgot to set a way point. As soon as I got there 3 seconds later was in my capsule blinking. Turned out was a sleeper site boo another million ISK probe gone...life in EVE. Always a learning adventure and fun...good thing the first thing I learned was how to make ISK in the market. Anyway if I come across another WH you can bet....I'm definitely heading in !!! Arora22

That's awesome! Welcome to J-Space, the best part of EO, imho!

[@waffleswafflson3076]

I went into wormholes totally blind. Jumped from place to place doing data sites. Got lost with more money in my cargo than I've ever seen in this game. Eventually find a wh back to my corner of space. Warp in. As im on approach, another homie pops out. Hit the stealth. Most tense game in my entire life as he deploys his drones and starts trying to get close enough to knock me out of it. Came down to a game of us both choosing direction and seee who wins

[@zerosurdity5427]

What ship?

[@adawg3032]

One time i was in a wormhole and a ship was on my dscan. I was in my tengu, i had just blown up someone with a bunch of exploration loot so i was feeling cocky. I scan the guy down and sit there and watch him cloaked, and i figure he is AFK. So i uncloak and start blasting him with my tengu and he scrams me and then 3 paladins show up and basically took me out within seconds. Big fish eat little fish as they say

[@captainbenzie]

The wonderful world of bait! Has caught me multiple times too!

[@muskiet8687]

"Bookmark the freakin' exit!" Yeah... I remember me being pretty bad about that. Always eager to start finding stuff to do, and only after I warp away I remember that I forgot to do that. Fortunately, if you do, it's not that hard to scan it down again, and usually you tend to know in what corner of the system to look. It can be pretty nerve-wracking doing that when you keep seeing probes in D-scan though 😂.

[@notean]

In wormholes you bookmark everything. When your mom comes in , you bookmark her too ;-)

[@hybridmusic6088]

Did my first wormhole after watching this. Before this I avoided wormholes because they seemed dangerous but after taking simple steps they are not so bad anymore.

Major thanks for detailed instructions on what to do once inside, and also on translating the wormhole information before entering. I was finally able to get rid of the 0 for 1 gas site window on my screen.

As for bookmarking the exit. Once you're in the new area find yourself on the scan map and focus scan yourself and you'll get the wormhole exit scanned in one quick scan.

Hey Benzie! I have watched a ton of your videos, joined discord, and Catskull Cartel. I just wanted to tell you and others who may see these comments that yesterday I spent all day searching for a gas site. I went in and out of wormholes, chained wormholes, even set up a "perch" and worked a few data sites along the way. I totally expected to die at some point, but I did not. Great pointers in all of these videos. I have not been playing long but I was so surprised to have been able to play for so long and not die. I actually got far enough away from "home" that I kind of wish someone would have got me, but I counted it a success getting all the way back to Tolle. Anyway, thanks for the great content! btw, not that it matters, but I am 66 years old, and fairly new to Eve Online.

Thank you for your instruction in this manner, I have lost heaps of ships becuase I am just feeling my way around and trying different stuff. I had a ball today going into a wormhole for the first time. I fitted a catalyst with some mining equipment as well as some protection. I was scanning some areas and made a few location bookmarks to get back to later. I was attacked by who knows what, and I managed to get out and warp home using the methods you decribed here. I made it by the skin of my teeth, but I made it. It was sooooo much fun! I was 49% damaged by the time I got back to my home station. I don't have any cloaking devices so was pretty exposed lol, but man the adrenaline was pumping. Best time ever, even though I nearly lost my ship.

[@captainbenzie]

Congratulations and welcome to the wormhole life! Yeah, they can be pretty scary but that fear is what makes it fun (for me, at least!) May have been Sleepers, the NPCs you find in J-Space. They're scary! 😂

I have the most horrid RNG luck. I can't find anything BUT wormholes and combat sites. I have not found any data or relic sites as of yet outside of a wormhole. I have not gotten enough training for cloaking, and I have been chased off every data or relic site so far. I will say one guy killed me, and he was an absolute gentleman because he sent me ISK to replave my ship! My second death was not so lucky, and while I don't mind dying in the least, however, it would be really fun to actally use my hacking 5 or archeology 4 skill one of these days lol. Your videos are a huge help, Captian! You, sir, are an officer and a gentleman!! Im I'm the process of looking for a corp while I am doing my enforcer and other AIR training. Love your videos!

It can be very random, sometimes you don't see one for a week and then sometimes you find like 12 in one system. It can be hard to go into J space with a plan because everything is random (well it's not but it effectively is), when you live there you kinda just do whatever is on offer that day usually.

[@Markty07]

I'm a menace and I talk into local. Many people probe me down and warp cloaked to me but I always manage to escape. One dude even complimented my routine and indicated me to a system with loot ! If you want to be safe out there and talk in wormhole, here's my secret. Dscan often, because people will Dscan you before probing and these dudes probe really fucking fast. One scan, you're found. So you need to catch these probes on Dscan. Even in a safe, either unaligned or deep space (we can never be too sure) keep fucking moving. Keep props on and align to another safe (or a random celestial, tho it's less safe, it's better than nothing). Perfer microwarp drives. 2.5km/s can make an ennemy that warps to you be 50+ km away when they reach the end of their warp. If they aren't cloaked, you should notice them. If they are, hope you are faster than them because they will pursue you cloaked. I'm not omega so I don't have cloak, but I think most cloaks have a speed penalty. You should be safe, but please optimise your ships for speed. If you're really worried about speed, ditch the heron and get yourself the probe. One more low slot and more base speed ? Get yourself an overdrive, you'll be zooming around like a madman ! I prefer to keep using heron tho. in midslots I run one cargo scanner for cans, better run those sites fast, and I run that module that makes scanning faster instead of more accurate. You want to stick in one place as little as possible. Do not use any other t1 explorers than the heron or the probe. Tips for venture : Maybe scout ahead gas with a regular explorer. Venture has no bonus for scanning, you'll waste time. Plus, can't fit the scanner that fits combat probes, you'll see why that's relevant. Finally, use combat probes. Make other explorers you're trying to find them ! Make campers think you're ready for a fight ! That will decourage some, not all, but that's already that. you only lose the 0.25au range scan, and no loss in strength at any other range contrary to probe description.

Great vid bro however there one thing I would done differently. Right after jump in into wormhole space and bookmark the exit I would jump to celestial body or the sun about 50 km in the other direction and book mark a safe spot.

[@captainbenzie]

I do say this in the video, but for a ship with a cloak it's not a HUGE deal. I'm well over 100km from gate with a Covert Ops cloak. Not perfect, but it'll do for the demonstration ☺️

[@Viewable11]

Wormholes begin to visually wobble and pulsate and make weird noises shortly (a few minutes) before they collapse because their life time expires.

[@captainbenzie]

Yes, but it's a very short effect that most new players won't be able to spot.

[@AiuRkx]

Why sometimes takes longer to exit from the wormhole than others? Doesnt matter if I warp to 0 meters. And how to exit if a guy is camping the WH? (Im in a Venture).

[@captainbenzie]

Transiting a wormhole takes the same either way, that may just be lag. If there's a guy on the wormhole, if you warped to zero you should still jump okay. If he has a bubble though, well, then you're screwed. Technically should warp to a hole at 100km if you're not sure it's safe. Then if it's safe, warp back out, then warp back in at zero.

[@CBlyat]

Bruh, is this what the inside of null stations look like? PoS? I've never seen that station background, nor been null/WH space 98m SP.

[@captainbenzie]

Nah, player stations. You can find them in Hisec too. You can even see your other ships that are docked there in the background.

[@fubli4real]

I'ved died everywhere except a wormhole

[@captainbenzie]

Nice! Good luck finishing the set!

[@pagucada]

Can you please share your fitting for this tutorial?

[@captainbenzie]

It's in my Cheetah video, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH2qiIVoo9ytZ6M but it's basically the probe launcher, cloak, Interdiction Nullifier, then rig for Scan Res, and play with the lows to get the best agility possible (remembering there's no difference between 2.9 and 2.1, you need to cross whole numbers, ie 2.99 is MUCH faster align than 3.01) I don't tend to worry with tank as your aim is to not get caught, so mids are Analyzers then Scan enhancers depending on your skills.

[@towelie5997]

I was dscanning every ~20-30seconds and while i was hacking a relic site the hack failed because my ship just instantly blew up in one hit after someone warped in right next to me? How the hell could i have prevented that? Please help me, anyone. This was utterly demoralizing.

[@captainbenzie]

20 seconds is a long time. And an explorer should be able to warp away as someone appears. You've got to be quick, but don't worry - losing ships is part of EVE. Dont feel bad, just get out there and try again!!

[@towelie5997]

@@captainbenzie Will do! I thought of maybe logging in with two accounts so that i can kinda guard myself or at least scare off some potential gankers. Good idea or am i just gonna lose two ships? Would it be better to go for a t3 cruiser to be able to scan and not get popped instantly or do those become so fragile with an exploration setup that it's not worth it?

[@captainbenzie]

@@towelie5997 so, multiboxing can absolutely be a viable option but remember, there is always a bigger fleet. Your two ships can still be ganked by three. Whilst learning, keep it cheap, and just keep at it!!

[@hongkongball3196]

Hi!I just started playing eve online and my ship was destroyed when I went to a low safety system. Now I can't fire even with other ships and I am very confused.Can anyone answer me?

[@captainbenzie]

Have you fitted weapons to the new ships? Open the fitting screen and check the top left to see if there are any warnings, modules may be offline, you might not have the skills for the weapons you have fitted, or those weapons may not have ammo fitted. If you're still struggling, come join our Discord and we'll gladly help.

[@Skybreaker6]

so, do I need to book mark the exit?

[@captainbenzie]

It may be recommended 😉

[@Sorarse]

Didn't hear if you did, but it should be pointed out that Alpha players cannot use cloaks, and exploring wormholes without the ability to cloak is much riskier.

[@captainbenzie]

Correct, but doable. Using safe bookmarks as perches.

[@SloBoris]

Relic or data sites with forgoten or unsecured are guarded by sleepers

[@captainbenzie]

Correct, with Central, Local, and Regional, or Crumbling, Damaged, and Ruined denoting the "basic" sites. I will have a full video on Relic/Data Sites eventually.

[@captainbenzie]

Correct, with Regional, Central, and Local, or Crumbling, Decaying, and Ruined denoting normal sites 😊 I will do a more in-depth video later on scanning and exploration

[@Markty07]

There could be a "dissipating into the ether" 15 minutes before collapse

[@captainbenzie]

This has been debunked. And I've personally watched over a dozen holes collapse without ever seeing it.

[@Markty07]

@@captainbenzie Oh okay because I saw that on Eve Uni. Would be cool to add tho

[@Sokeks]

Hell yeah

[@Submanca]

What do you do if it collapses behind you? Or if you come back to leave and it isn`t there.

[@captainbenzie]

Scan down a new exit

[@Submanca]

@@captainbenzie So I just scan down a new exit and take a long trip home is that it?

[@117zenith]

Should I bookmark the exit to the wormhole? That wasn't clear.

It's considered a good idea 😉

Where should I sell my sleeper blue loot

[@captainbenzie]

Type "CONCORD" into the search bar, in game, then find your closest Concord Station.

[@titaniummechsx3324]

Btw I’m selling it at a concord station and it somehow buys around 30% below market average (did those guys at concord ran out of money)

[@captainbenzie]

Oof ouch...

[@martynBVT]

just prep for wormholes, and don't jump in with your training clone and your best ship, use a ship you are willing to let blow up.

[@captainbenzie]

Yup, as I say in the video ☺️

[@M1551NGN0]

Man i love exploration in eve online, but WH exploration sucks without omega tbh. Most of the times you don't get the required sites and you might also get lost in WH space. Nullsec exploration using jump filaments is still better as it provides more stable income than wh space, my personal experience.

[@captainbenzie]

Excellent way to explore! Absolutely what I used to do in Signal Cartel. Worth noting that if you can buy 1 PLEX in game right now you can get 3 days Omega. You don't NEED a cloak for wormholes though, just DScan constantly and use Tripwire 😊

[@M1551NGN0]

@@captainbenzie yes sir i actually got 7d of free omega in November 2022 when they were running a promotion. Thing is I'm gonna have to train certain skills that is gonna exceed the time limit for the 3 days omega so I actually won't be able to go on exploration. Perhaps dscan and trip wire is much better.

@@captainbenzie Good otherwise I would have felt bad for reporting it right away.

Instructions unclear, did not bookmark my exit.

🤦

[@iainturnbull9790]

Also DO NOT EVER, jump into WHs around/near jita, one corp I was in had a wh and it was always entertaining to watch groups come in, set up bubbles etc on the wh back to hisec and basically gank anything jumping through lol

[@captainbenzie]

Yeah, Jita is a popular home station so lots of daytrippers when your static is near Jita! 😉

[@notean]

I only works on new players. That is why you jump back to high-sec.when you see any bubbles or ships. Also when you jump to wormhole, it is safer to jump to 100+ km or more from wormhole before making last jump. In case there is bubble , you can see it.

[@captainbenzie]

@@notean the jump at 100km doesn't work. If there's a bubble on grid you'll get dragged into it

[@notean]

@@captainbenzie I really sure if there changes but there always been option to jump 10-100km from destination and I doubt that this is gone now. However you can set your jump even further along when you make bookmarks like 300 km away from wormhole. I normally always made quick bookmark while warping away from wormhole. It depends of size of bubble and your angle but I guarantee you not getting pulled in from 300km.

[@captainbenzie]

@@notean look up "drag bubbles". If you land on grid with one, you get dragged in, no matter range

[@TheStumafoo]

I wanted to start playing this game, I am soooo intimidated. seems too hard for me

[@captainbenzie]

EVE Online is both wide and deep - but you don't need to learn all of it right now, if ever (I still don't understand Industry at all!). Open it up, play the tutorial and the Career Agents, find something you enjoy and then focus on that. If you can find a Corp to join, they'll help you learn significantly better and faster!!

Losses a 60 million isk ship filled with 150 million in gas and then watches "how not to die in a wormhole"

[@captainbenzie]

Haha, loss is inevitable, but I hope this helps!!

[@Meta_Gryphon]

I have lost many ships in WH. I don’t think it is profitable on the long term for solo players . So I don’t go in WH anymore.

[@captainbenzie]

It's definitely profitable for solo. I did it solo for a year or so before joining a dedicated wormhole corp. It's not a playstyle for everyone. You have to be super alert, have your escape routes (plural) planned early on. You have to be ready to move at a moments notice and be aware of the risk at all times. I lost ships, sure, but I also made rank billions during that time.

[@Meta_Gryphon]

@@captainbenzie i guess I was not so lucky. Spent hours in WH. And Isks negative at the end. And in Eve, no isks, no ship.
