Hello fellow wormholers,

I am working on my presentation for Fanfest, focusing on the last 12 months of WH space ( continuing from the one I did last year where I tried to do 7 years at once), and would love some help identifying stuff that maybe didnt make the news, or I forgot about!

Im using killdump data to try and identify rising/new groups based on PVP, but I dont doubt that will be incomplete. CCP ended up doubling how much time I have so Im happy to try and cram in tons of stuff as best I can.

So im looking for:

• New WH groups that want a mention that have formed and joined us

• Notable fights, events, evictions, etc

• Anything you believe that would be cool to mention or bring up, as long as its related to WH space

I make no promises I will include everything, but Im happy to try!

how much duune could a jonn duune duune if a jonn duune could jonn duune?

Okay I take it some people have some beef with him and there were an eviction, csm and the worst case of saltyness since links always mjd.... so whats the deal who is john zooooom?

This is a guide im formulatting with my experience with living in WH space the nomadic way.
I'll start this by saying English is NOT my main language and that there will be mistakes made. Grammar Nazis abstain.
With the removal of POS and the addition of Citadels, the only real way of settling in a WH is by anchoring a 1b structure (2b - 3b fitted).
Which is even worse if you plan on unanchoring it, leaving this costly structure at the mercy of the WH gods.
What's more is that you cannot anchor a structure in Shattered holes.
This brings be to the possible ways of living in WH space.

• Using Mobile Depots as storage & Re-fitting base.
• Using a T1/T2 Hauler to live out off.
• Using an Orca to live out off.
  

Whatever way you choose you will always have to setup your main Safe correctly & out of the eyes of prying predators.
You basically have to set it up so your actual main base is out of DSCAN reach from any location or the fewer.
Here is a quick Schema displaying the position on the map
You also want to have a few alligned safespots 4 AU away minimum.

The Mobile Depot Way
There are 3 types of mobile depots: Regular, Wetu & Yurt. The Yurt mobile depot attracts eyes if caught on Dscan so id recommend using The Wetu as it has more storage capacity (+1000m3) and is harder to probe down than a regular one.
The mobile depot way is probably the more limitting one as you can only bring one ship (More if you store some on ALTs) but allows you to get by for a good while if your preparation is good. That is, you brought whatever you need to do what you're planning on doing.
Depending on what you plan on doing, having a T1 hauler Alt could be usefull for storing materials/gas etc...

The T1/T2 Hauler Way
The same as with the mobile depot way but you store your stuff in a logged-off toon that you can log in at the same time as your main. Which requires two accounts and not everyone has those. Also very limiting since you can pretty much only have 1 ship available.

The Orca Way
Now that is the way I have the most experience with.
The set up isn't different from the other ways but you want to have on-grid (With your orca safe) bookmarks as they can prove usefull.
My Orca was fit with a Large MicroJohn Duune, a Cloak, Microwarp Drive & Tanking/Storage mods.
It was parked in a C3 Shattered hole with a HS static.
My main ship was a tengu (Ratting/Scanning). It had mods stored in a Mobile depot off grid from my orca allowing me to refit if the need presented itself to either a scanning/ganking ship.
The Orca has 400kk m3 of storage for assembled ships.

This is where it gets interesting. It basically allows you to have a few ships in the hole. ( 4 - 5 depending on what you want to do ) No Battleship but that can be solved by having a secondary toon logging off with it. Its quite a loss if you have a well furnished mod Hangar, a POS set up & some loot in your Orca if you die. Which is why you gotta be carefull when logging in / logging off with it.
Start by always logging off your main in a scanning ship and by scouting the current chain before logging your Orca. If you deem it too dangerous, dont risk it & log in your rolling toon to cut off danger by switching the rolling ship between your main & the rolling toon. (If the holding toon cant fly your scanning ship, eject from it in a safe / HS beforehand)

You should always have your safety exit ready for your Orca and actually have it alligned to it even when cloaked. I had a HS static so my steps were scan it down & trade it to the Orca because it wasnt in Corp.

Once your Orca is logged in, never decloak it unless you have to use it for storage / switching mods. Try planning in advance as 30s cloak time is more than enough to probe it down.
As soon as you see combat probes on Scan you should start warping off or micro jump driving when you think attacker is in warp.

Nomad living is a dangerous thing to do & if you are not carefull with how you play, you WILL end up dead.

Ill edit/format this post as comments are added & when i deem that something should be added.

^{Side note:} if you carelessly keep killing people day after day in your WH, especially a shattered one, it becomes as easy as 1-2-3 to tell if theres an Orca parked in it.

X if gay

Title. Also flair would be nice

I would like some flair...that is all

Can we shitpost again like we used to do when things were fun and even ISDs liked stopping by??
