==== Static holes ====

Each ~~system in~~ w-space has at least ~~one '~~static wormhole~~', leading to k-space if it's a C1 or C3, or to w-space if it's a C4, C5 or C6~~. ~~C2 systems have both a~~ static ~~to k-space and another to w-space~~. ~~This wormhole~~ doesn't always ~~lead to~~ the same ~~system~~, ~~but it~~ always ~~leads~~ to the same ~~''class'' of system -- for example~~, ~~a class 4 w-space system might have a static wormhole~~ that ~~leads to a class 6. C4 wormhole systems also have 2 statics. Once~~ the wormhole closes, the signature for a new one will appear usually within a minute and a new wormhole will appear (once probed down and warped to), connected to a different system of the same class. This means you cannot be trapped inside a wormhole system with no way out (unless of course you neglected to bring a probe launcher & probes).

Each w-space system has at least 1 static wormhole. The name "static" can be misleading. It doesn't mean that the wormhole is always in the same place, or always goes to the same place, or that the wormhole lives forever.

Other wormholes may appear in the system, but the static wormhole will always be present.

Instead, it means that at any given time, a w-space system will always have a wormhole connection. This wormhole will always be of the same type, thus it will have the same mass, lifetime, and lead to the same type of space.

Let's assume you are in a w-space system that has a O477 static. There will always be a wormhole in that system that leads to a C3 w-space system, that has a 2 billion kg mass limit, and a lifetime of 16 hours. When that particular wormhole collapses from overuse or old age, another signature spawns after about a minute, and must be probed down. It won't spawn in the same place, it won't lead to the same C3 system as the old one, but the new wormhole will be an O477 wormhole.

Practically this means:

* If you have probes, you can't get stuck in a particular w-space system.

* The neighborhood is constantly changing. Your neighbors one day will be completely different the next.

Each system in w-space has at least one static wormhole, leading to k-space if it's a C1 or C3, or to w-space if it's a C4, C5 or C6.

Other wormholes may appear in the system as well, but the static wormhole will always be present.
