An additional restriction is placed on how often an individual pilot may jump through a particular wormhole. You may not jump through a wormhole in the same direction twice without waiting five minutes. For example, if you jump through a wormhole at 05:00 and then you jump back through the wormhole at 05:03, you will be polarized (unable to jump through that same wormhole) until 05:05. Similarly, if you were to jump as soon as the timer was up, you would be polarized on the other side of the hole until 05:08. | An additional restriction is placed on how often an individual pilot may jump through a particular wormhole.

Note the restriction is on the [u]pilot[/u] not the ship. The same ship can be swapped by ejection and boarding of different pilot for multiple transit through the same wormhole. This is very useful for mass reduction purpose without need of multiple ships of same type (but rather multiple pilots who can utilize the same ship). | |||
One way to manage your polarization timer is to check the local chat for the time stamps (multiple wormhole jump time stamps are kept in the chat, unlike gate jumps in k-space) for your jumps and then plan accordingly. | One way to manage your polarization timer is to check the local chat for the time stamps (multiple wormhole jump time stamps are kept in the chat, unlike gate jumps in k-space) for your jumps and then plan accordingly. | ||
