= Wormhole information = | |||
A '''wormhole''' is a transient portal that allows for travel across vast distances of space. They can be found in every solar system and can lead anywhere from null-sec space to high-sec space. The term '''wormhole space''' (alternatively '''w-space''') describes the unmapped and often dangerous null solar systems accessible through wormholes. Wormholes were introduced with the Apocrypha expansion and gave pilots an extra 2500 solar systems to explore and exploit. | |||
== Wormholes - General Information == | |||
You can scan down Wormholes from anywhere within New Eden by using the System Scanner (found in the same menu as the Directional Scanner). This is done by fitting a Scan Probe Lancher and loading it with Probes. The results of the probes' findings are read on the System Scanner. | You can scan down Wormholes from anywhere within New Eden by using the System Scanner (found in the same menu as the Directional Scanner).

Wormholes link Known Space (k-space) with Wormhole Space (w-space). K-space includes all the solarsytems contained in the Star Map.

K-space includes all the solarsytems contained in the Star Map. If you can set a destination to it, a system is k-space, even if it is deep within null-sec space (0.0). Wormholes also link separate w-space solarsystems (or pockets). ALL wormholes are randomly placed and are temporary. A given wormhole allows only a certain amount of mass to go through it before it will destabilize and close forever. | ||
== Wormhole Space - General Information == | |||
There are no Stargates in w-space. Once inside w-space, wormholes are the only way to get from one system to another. If a wormhole closes and you are inside a pocket, there are only two ways to get out: | |||
*Find another WH | |||
*Self-destruct your pod. | |||
The good news is, there's always another wormhole. The moral is, never go into w-space without a scan probe launcher and probes. | |||

Any new wormhole you find in WH space may lead to ANYWHERE (even deep 0.0) in Eve. It may also lead to another pocket deeper into w-space | Any new wormhole you find in WH space may lead to ANYWHERE (even deep 0.0) in Eve. It may also lead to another pocket deeper into w-space, also known as "going deeper down the rabbit hole"). There are often several wormholes into and out of the same w-space solar system, which may be a combination of low-sec, high-sec, 0.0, and other wormhole spaces. If you're lucky, you can occasionally find a wormhole pairing that will let you go between two interesting systems in a couple of jumps. | ||
A wormhole's state will be determined by two factors: Time and Mass. When it spawns, it will be open for a given time, determined by the type of the wormhole, and allow a set amount of mass through. When either variable reaches zero, the wormhole collapses forever. | A wormhole's state will be determined by two factors: Time and Mass.

It's important to note that traditional gatecamps are less effective on a wormhole gate. When jumping through a wormhole gate players will land within jump range (5000m for wormholes) upon reaching the other side. This allows explorers to decloak and bug out of a system after the session change timer should any hostiles appear on d-scan or grid. | It's important to note that traditional gatecamps are less effective on a wormhole gate.

*Radar - Radar Sites will contain locked containers, containing items like datacores, which can be unlocked through [[Hacking]]. Sometimes there will be a Talocan ship wreck, which can be salvaged and will drop ancient hull sections for Tech 3 Ships.

*Unknown - A unknown site is always another Wormhole and is not guarded by [[Sleepers]], though it maybe by players. It is worth noting that while Unknown sites always indicate a Wormhole location, said wormhole will not spawn in its destination system until a player warps to it. While it is by no means a guarantee, avoiding wormhole sites significantly reduces the chance that you will find yourself sharing the system with other players. | *Unknown - A unknown site is always another Wormhole and is not guarded by [[Sleepers]], though it maybe by players.
