Wormholes: Difference between revisions

Line 36:

You can tell the state of the wormhole you are about to enter by right-clicking and selecting "Show Info". A pristine wormhole has not yet had 60% of its allotted mass pass through it. An Intermediate wormhole has between 40% and 10% of its allotted mass left. A Critical wormhole has less than 10% of its allotted mass left. Be very sure you want to jump through any Critical wormhole.

When a wormhole spawns, the wormhole is only an entry in your scanner. The destination of that wormhole is not set. The destination is determined randomly the moment the first player ~~lands on grid with~~ the wormhole. When that happens, the corresponding "exit" of the wormhole is spawned in another system and the link between the two systems is established. This can be used to some advantage in gathering information.

When a wormhole spawns, the wormhole is only an entry in your scanner. The destination of that wormhole is not set. The destination is determined randomly the moment the first player warps to the wormhole. When that happens, the corresponding "exit" of the wormhole is spawned in another system and the link between the two systems is established. This can be used to some advantage in gathering information.

If you find a wormhole and warp to it, and it is named K162 it means that someone else already found that wormhole from the other side.

This can be tactically important -- you know that someone else has visited a K162 wormhole. That means some mass has probably been used, and also that you may have company.
