'''Wormholes''' are rifts in space that connect two star systems. Like [[stargates]], they allow the travel of ships from one star system to another, but unlike stargates, wormholes are not permanent. They connect two systems for only a short time and collapse when either their lifespan ends or too many ships have passed through them. | '''Wormholes''' are rifts in space that connect two star systems.

Wormholes can connect any two systems regardless of distance from each other, providing temporary shortcuts to areas that would otherwise take many jumps to reach.

The color of a wormhole may give you an impression on where it leads. The outline will be the color of your current system and the center will be colored based on where it leads. The color also changes based on the size of the wormhole. | The color of a wormhole may give you an impression on where it leads.

[[Timers|Weapon timers]] do not | [[Timers|Weapon timers]] do not affect travel through wormholes; you still get them when you aggress capsuleers, but as long as you are not polarized you can jump through a wormhole immediately after aggressing any capsuleer in any manner. This can provide escape options even if you are webbed, scrammed, or bubbled. Aggression timers still prevent tethering and docking at citadels (and NPC stations in Thera), refitting in space, and anything else they normally prohibit. | ||
Although normal aggression does not prevent you from jumping holes, attempting to take a hole to escape from Concord's wrath will result in an error message stating that Concord is using "mysterious technology" to prevent you from jumping. | |||
