Staring into the abyss.

I thought players were interested in wormhole space.  I now know it.  Not everyone sure; but there are players wanting to join.  I am very sympathetic to the idea.

My own plans are somewhat vague.  I really don't know what I am going to do with wormholes until I set up in there.  This rambling post reflects my confusion.

• Planetary interaction?  Definitely.  
• NPC's sites? probably.  
• Maybe mining just to have a look.  
• Explore adjacent wormholes? Most likely.  
• Die to due unwanted visitors? almost certainly.
• Attack transient neighbours?  probably not.
• Player owned stations; most likely : costing about 200-400M each per month depending on size; for fuel blocks; either purchased outright or as forgone income.  (I won't use a small as primary POS).

This is excluding any capital costs.

Everything I have read says that wormholes are not a single person endeavour.  A C2 wormhole is enough to keep a few people busy, but how many?  Conflict arises when there are insufficient activities to keep everyone acceptably busy and in ISK

I have far more industrial skills than I have combat skills.  Some combat skills will be needed to take advantage of the sleeper sites.  Some combat skills will eventually be required for defense.  So, I am industrial in nature; I like building games.  Pew Pew is something that comes second for me.  I however can use pew pew players.

I have received an application from a pew pew'er.  Going from little more than a name I can tell a bit about you.  Specifically - are you the type to pew pew or not.  Do you target industrialists? others that PVP? pods?  While there is justification in everything; someone who has pew pewed before will want to pew pew again.  I don't need to find more people who will pew pew at me, as I already know where to find them.

A good thing about pew pew space is that it is constantly changing.  PVP'ers will have access to a constantly changing lowsec environment.  PVE'ers will have spawning sites both locally and in neighbouring C2's.  For hisec or lowsec I would recommend someone with pew pew experience look elsewhere; But for wormhole space? I think we can keep them busy.

I found this guide http://www.fiercewebs.com/arcdragon/EverythingWormhole.pdf very useful.  I am proposing different operating procedures, and while not entirely agreeing with a document designed for life in a larger corp in a C5, it still was a useful read.

But to that player who contacted me; please see the 'Foo Holdings' tab at the top of this blog, I will want to run some background checks, and the instructions are listed.  My background is very visible, not just on this blog but on my other game blog too.
