W-space | W-space, is the collection of 2500 star systems reachable only through wormholes. Though they are technically arranged in region and constellations, in practice this means nothing as connections are constantly changing. This space is all described as "unknown", as it does not appear on any map. The true security level is always -1.0 (however the EVE client tells you its 0.0). In addition, its sovereignty is "unclaimable", meaning that players are unable to claim space, build stations, upgrade, or any other benefits of typical 0.0 space. | ||

Although in general w-space has the same appearance as k-space, note that there are no NPC agents, no stations, no place to dock up to repair or log off safely. Many w-systems are very large, sometimes over 100 AU across, so care should be taken when using D-scan to survey a system, and when making long warps. | Although in general w-space has the same appearance as k-space, note that there are no NPC agents, no stations, and no place to dock up to repair or log off safely.

When learning about being safe in high-security, low-security and null-security space, one of the most touted tactics is to watch local. The local channel contains a list of all the pilots in system, and will alert you the moment someone enters system. In w-space, that's all gone. There is still a local channel, but it will only display pilots that speak! A new w-space system could be entirely deserted, or contain a large fleet, but local would remain the same. Unless a pilot must do so as a last resort, nobody ever talks in local in w-space - you reveal yourself, and you learn nothing. | When learning about being safe in high-security, low-security and null-security space, one of the most touted tactics is to watch local.

Not being immediately visible to everyone is a feature of w-space and allows you to scout and collect information that would otherwise be unavailable. | ||
