Pod Pilot Report: Agatir Solenth

Greetings my fellow pod pilots and blog readers!!!

As many of you know Polarized. often takes on W-space contracts.  We have adopted a requirement beyond the basic payment of ISK.  The happy customer must produce a "Thank You" picture at the conclusion of the contract.

Here is our most recent submission:

Prelude
Most of EvE players that reside in wormholes abide by the rule of “Real Life First”. Sometimes it easy to live up to this and sometimes it is not. This is because wormholes differ from K-space. There is no instant fun to be had. One cannot choose to do a L4 mission (if that is your cup of tea) or hop into a solo Talos to go hunting. Everything needs preparation – to go hunting you have to meticulously scan and scout your system, the adjacent system and the system after that. This is what we call “The Chain”. In addition, the lack of immediate local chat means that you have to rely solely on scouting with Dscan and probes to find anything to shoot at. If you choose to use probes, you’ll probably just scare the prey unless you know how to “one-shot” scan them to 100%. To the accustomed wormhole resident, unknown probes lingering on Directional scan (Dscan) is as subtle as Santa Claus buffalo hunting on the prairie with jingle bells strapped around his neck. Good luck finding stuff to kill with that approach.
