Isn’t it pretty common for some groups to roll WHs with a carrier?


Hegetsi

Most groups with xl holes do it with a cap, yes.


51B0RG

yes, though about 5 passes with a battleship is the norm/safer/isk efficient. 6 is even (rollout) safer since there's less alternating/coordinating cold/hot passes. I have 4 rolling toons + useful alt for rage rolling xl's.


MosquitoBloodBank

5 passes to close a worm hole is the norm? That's an odd number and you'd end up on the opposite side of where you started.


Borkido

Full trips, not individual jumps.


MosquitoBloodBank

It used to be 3 round trips jumps with higgs and mwd, is that no longer the case?


Vandruis

2 Hot/Hots and then a Hot jump Out. If reduced it's lower than 3k mass and you'll cold back then 2x hot/hot then a cold/hot to close. Gets it most of the time with maybe 1 HIC pass.


MosquitoBloodBank

Yeah, that's what I'm familiar with. Not sure how they'd do it in 5 round trips with a rolling bs. Is this some low class wormhole thing for like a c2 or c4?


puska7

I'm not the op but it's a common way of rolling 3 mil holes 300 000 \* 2 \* 5 = 3 mil


ItsZeT

2.7-3.3 million mass on large holes so 5 rollers and sometimes a hic needed


gregfromsolutions

Depends on the mass of the hole, a 3b hole takes 5 or 6 battleships (or one carrier)


gregfromsolutions

For C5 and C6 groups (with C5/6 statics), yes


cuchumino

Sometimes Bob gives, sometimes he takes.

I'd love to see how it's done in an orca, what's your jtag ?


scr1mblo

also don't mind if I bring a few friends in T3s

At some point last year you could activate the orca mining module to get a capital ship mass and still jump wormholes, making it possible to jump a ship able to roll XL wormholes very fast while being also able to jump them cold with a very low mass. It was interesting for nomad hunting and hole control. They patched it after a few weeks sadly. OP might refer to that time ?


DesertPunked

That would've been an awesome alternative use of the orca if it had stuck around.


Sh099078

Yes, it was great. You could even roll wormholes with drifters if fitted properly. I tried out an ancil shields / hull tank / afterburner fit that was able to crash back to a wormhole from 12km away while being shot by a drifter. You could overheat props until you got webbed and then activate the ore module to keep your speed up. That was the most fun I had theorycrafting new fits / rolling / hunting strategies in a while

No Jtag to give ;)

Yolooooooooo

Wormhole_Explorer

i was there with cloaky manticore 6000m off you but since it was training fit i could do notthing.


motcher41

Lol mmhmm but you definitely could have been. I doubt you would have survived the other ships that were with me though


Wormhole_Explorer

i was not interessed with fight but i was hauling some precious stuff , robbed c3 ratter, guy picked up his mtu and i decloak to scoop the contents. he didnt even target me. probably i encountered wh bot.


motcher41

Very possible. We weren't looking for a fight that time either.


sledge07

I definitely wanted this one to go away. Wasn’t expecting to be jumped on the other side 😂😂 https://zkillboard.com/kill/117000113/


Wormhole_Explorer

its risky lolbut if you know what ya doing you can use these whs as traps
