The total transfer mass determines at what point a wormhole will collapse due to overuse. Each jump made through the wormhole will subtract that ship's mass from the beginning mass allowance. When the transfer exceeds the allowance, the wormhole will collapse. Even a single kilogram of mass remaining will allow any ship up to the max per jump to travel through the wormhole. | The total transfer mass determines at what point a wormhole will collapse due to overuse.

A third mass property is regeneration. This is an amount of mass that will regenerate over time, up to when the time limit expires. | A third mass property is regeneration. This is an amount of mass that will regenerate over time, up to when the time limit expires. As far as we know, frigate holes are the only wormholes that regenerate mass, to the point where they are impossible to collapse. | ||
Knowing your limits enables pilots to be ''mostly'' safe about not collapsing a hole they don't intend to. However, original wormhole mass can vary by up to 10%. Therefore you cannot be certain exactly how much mass it will take to collapse the wormhole. | Knowing your limits enables pilots to be ''mostly'' safe about not collapsing a hole they don't intend to.

Some modules will increase or decrease a ship's mass. Most notably: | Some modules will increase or decrease a ship's mass. Most notably: | ||
* Armor plates - | * Armor plates - These mass to your ship. They can be put offline to eliminate the effect, and then onlined again after jumping once 95% capacitor is available. | ||
* Propulsion modules - | * Propulsion modules - When active, prop mods add a certain amount of mass to your ship. If a prop mod is active as you enter a wormhole, that additional mass is subtracted from the mass of the wormhole. For instance a battleship running a 100mn microwarpdrive or 100mn afterburner will add 50 million kg when the module is running. | ||
* Warp Disruption Field Generators - When launched from a heavy interdiction cruiser, these bubbles reduce the mass of the ship. These reduce the mass of the HIC by 80% while active. These percentages stack so having 2 bubble online means a 96% reduction in mass. This allows a HIC to go through a hole with minimal mass on the way out, then turn off the bubbles and come back through with a prop mod on. This is typically done only when rolling a crit hole. | * Warp Disruption Field Generators - When launched from a heavy interdiction cruiser, these bubbles reduce the mass of the ship.
