Wormholes come with different restrictions. Wormholes not only allow certain amounts of mass through them in their lifetime, but they may also have mass restrictions for each and every transfer. For example, wormholes from Known Space to Class 1 wormhole space will restrict ships going through to battlecruisers or lower.

Capital ships with jump drives can go through wormholes, provided that the wormhole can support the mass of the ship. Cynosural fields, however, cannot be opened in uncharted space, nor can ships with jump drives lock on to cynosural fields outside of wormhole space to jump out. Supercapital ships, such as Titans and Supercarriers, cannot go through wormholes as they are far too large to get through even the largest wormholes.

=====Polarization=====

An additional restriction is placed on individual ships. You may not jump through a wormhole in the same direction twice without waiting five minutes. If you jump through a wormhole there will be nothing preventing you from jump back, but you cannot jump for a third time. The timer will have started at the moment of your first jump. This mechanic is called polarization.

==The Death of a Wormhole==

After a certain amount of mass is transported through or after some time the wormhole will disappear. While most wormholes only last for 24 hours, there are some variations to this rule. When a static wormhole collapses a new one with the same properties will spawn. You can read more on static wormholes in the Wormhole Space article.
