Wormholes: Difference between revisions

Line 129:

* The wormhole is not yet end of life, meaning it'll still be around for a while.

* The wormhole has had its stability decreased by mass pushed through it, but not critically left. For this wormhole, that means that there is anywhere between 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000 kg of mass left before it goes critical. If no-one pushes any mass through it, it will last until it decays naturally after its time runs out. However if it's at the low end of the mass remaining, it could go critical and then collapse very quickly if enough mass gets pushed through it. A wormhole at this stage is fairly safe to jump through, though you should be wary. If you, for instance, jump through in the middle of someone's rolling operation and can't jump back out, you could potentially be trapped on the other side, left to scan your way out of C3 space.

Again, we can tell quite a few things.

* The B274 name means this is an entrance. The [[Wormhole Information|Wormhole Information page]] tells us this wormhole leads to High Security space, has a total mass allowance of 2,000,000,000 kg, has a per-transit ship mass limit of 300,000,000 kg, and a maximum stable time of 24 hours.

* The wormhole is not yet end of life.

* The wormhole has not had its stability decreased by mass pushed through it. This means it will have more than 50% of its allowable mass left. A wormhole in this condition is fairly safe to jump though.

* Additionally, from the colour of the wormhole we can tell that it probably leads to the Derelik region.
