[COMPLETED] WHC Noob Night in the Hole | 2022.05.21 [EU @18:00] & [NA @23:00]

Wormhole Community Presents:

Newb's Night in the Hole!

Image
Wut?

Everyone at EVE University is invited. This is our "get to know the place" event! Giving Unistas an opportunity to come and hang out in the C2 wormhole system that EVE University maintains as a learning environment. We'll spend a few hours doing a variety of content and mainly learning about the WHC & wormhole space in general. Planning never really goes the way you expect in wormholes, so the exact order of things is always TBD (to be discovered), but here's a quick rundown of the expectation:

Plan (sorta):
  • We form at Stacmon - The Quad & travel together to scary C2 wormhole space, nothing will stop us! (unless we get killed)
  • We discuss wormhole mechanics while covert button pushers examine space for us
  • We go out to, even scarier, C3 wormhole space and shoot some NPCs, and make some ISKies (ok... more than some... a lot of ISKies)
  • We look for other non-NPC nerds, at whom we will throw our collective ammunition if given the opportunity
  • We continue to look for PvP pretty much the whole time (sometimes PvP just finds us)
  • We head back home to Stacmon - The Quad
  • If you have to leave mid fleet that's okay, just please either go to High-sec or the WHC, ask for help in fleet if you're unsure
There will be 2 identical events (in theory) on the same day, one for EU TZ and another for NA TZ (AU TZ can go form themselves). Each event will run for something like 3-4 hours total, then participants are welcome to either hang around for a bit or head home with the fleet. We don't want anyone getting lost in the chain, or feeling like they're not allowed to leave, so please just keep in communication in fleet and comms and we'll get you to where you need to be.

When:
May 21st

EU TZ: 18:00 - 22:00 EVE Time

NA TZ: 23:00 - 03:00 EVE Time

Ship Required:
I recommend either the scanning ship of your comfort, a travel or PvP frigate, or a shuttle. Nothing bigger than a destroyer. Ships for activities will be available on location. We will primarily be flying Caracals (which you do not need to bring).

Caracal Fit that will be provided for reference:

F.A.Q:
  • What implants should I have? None, you should bring a clean clone. There is a clone bay in Stacmon - The Quad so switch before we leave
  • Can I leave at any time? Yes, but you should get to safety first. Go to High Sec or WHC then leave. Ask for help in Fleet/Mumble if you're unsure.
  • Can I attend both events? Certainly
  • What happens if I lose my ship? Well, immediately warp off using your Pod Saver tab, get safe, and ask for assistance. If it happens during a PvP fight please don't interrupt voice comms. Instead, ask in Fleet Chat
  • FC can I bring my Drake? No
  • Which show are all these gifs from? The Office

Q: Can we somehow show up mid event? 20:00 is still pretty early for NA if you have a job with a during the day workday (Somewhere between 1pm and 4pm depending on time zone).

Yes you can join mid event but you'll travel from high sec to wormhole space alone. You can ask for directions in fleet chat if you're unsure.

This is the typical schedule for EU/NA NNitH as per previous previous events. I'll review my timezone maths tomorrow maybe I messed something up?

It would have been a bit different before the daylight savings time change. But I know 20:00 EVE/UTZ is currently 16:00 US East, and US West is -3 from that.

And traveling by myself is no issue with some directions on where to find the WH(s) to jump through.

Thanks everyone for the feedback here and on Discord! I rescheduled the event to a time that makes much more sense!

I better see y'all there :lol:

I have signed up for the event. I have a question about using the clone. I have a clone stored at the Quad. Do I need to be in the Quad to jump to the clone? Or do I need to be somewhere else to be able to jump to the clone? Since the storage at the Quad is inexpensive, I would prefer to be able to jump from the Quad to my clone in the Quad.

2nd Noob Question: do we need to be skilled for Caldari Cruiser and missles? Or do we get skills by virtue of being in a fleet? Or do we bring a ship that we have skills to fly?

I love noob questions, that's what this event is all about :OHMAHGAWD!:

Pod:
Being in The Quad and jumping from any Capsule (pod/clone) to an empty Capsule is optimal because you won't get a cooldown timer (19h - 24h depending on your Infomorph Synchronizing skill). If you're far from Stacmon, however, jumping directly to The Quad instead of traveling may make more sense. It's up to your judgment. What matters is that you should join my travel fleet in an empty Capsule (pod/clone) because you're likely to get podded in WH space.

Ship Skills:
You do NOT gain skills by being in a fleet. You will be handed a ship to fly in WHC depending on what you can fly. The main ship we want everyone, hopefully, to fly is a Caracal (see fit below). It has very low skill requirements. If you can fly that by the event, fantastic. If not, we will provide alternatives depending on what you can fly.

Very nice demonstration. What is the required skill to join the Wormhole campus? Is this skill available to Alpha?

This was my first EU event. I had a great time. The leadership and WHC community were very welcoming. They answered all questions, were patient, and explained everything step by step. I recommend anyone who has not participated to join up and give it a go!

I'm glad you enjoyed the event! WHC is full of lovely people who like to answer noob questions and help new explorers out. So don't be intimidated by the wormhole lifestyle learning curve, there's a lot of support.

Here's the AAR btw: https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtop ... 6&t=123943
