Wormhole hunting for pvp question (programming.dev)

Hey everyone. Im trying to get into wormhole pvp as a hunter, and today I spent pretty much all day going down a chain with no explorers sited. I even spent a few hours camped at the wormhole to a HS system 4 or so jumps from Jita. The only people I saw were a few capsules, some cruisers in a fleet (probably defending their home), and a buzzard. I would jump to my perches on any relic or data site often, but there was no one. Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Not really doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, hunting in wormholes is a very hit-or-miss affair at best, with more misses than hits. I can explain the deeper reasoning behind this in greater depth if you like, but the ultimate point is that the odds of finding a hole with active people in it aren't super high.

What you might be better off doing is finding a wormhole with a nullsec connection, and then hanging out in there. That way you can pop out and harass any locals, using the map to check for nearby activity if there's no one else immediately there.

Better yet, a connection to Low or High-Sec. Decent amount of traffic with those.
