On Cobwebs, Cans and Cosmic Hygiene

Letrange’s recent post on cleaning up detritus that he finds along the way and the need for people to help keep their own wormholes and the ones they visit clean is something that has been on my list of topics to address. The WH Engineers regularly work to clean up the places we visit and where we live. There is more than enough junk floating around out here for all us to get in on the act. So, “Come On New Eden, Shoot It Clean!”

As an aside, keeping wormholes clean and clear is more than just cans, wrecks, and the occasional barge. Keeping the number of combat anomalies and signatures down to just the wormholes is also good. It presents a good business image, keeps visitors from lingering and trying to capitalise on them.

And finally, good POS arrangement and storage is also essential. Nothing looks worse than cans scattered all over, SMA’s and CHA’s places all over the place and random ships left floating around. If nothing else, it is plain Operational Security to keep things situated cleanly, reducing the amount of possible information that might be collected. They don’t need to know you only fly battlecruisers and Tech 1 astrometrics frigates. The obvious exception to this being capital ships as they are more decoration than trash.
