Line 127:

* Unlike gates, you can be as much as 5km away to jump.

* When you jump through, you will spawn some distance from the wormhole. This depends on the mass of your ship and the amount of mass left on the wormhole, plus a random amount of variability. For instance a Covert Ops frigate will spawn anywhere from 7km to 10.5km, depending on the lifecycle of the hole. This means that a Covert Ops frigate will never land within decloaking range of the wormhole. A ship with much larger mass, such as a carrier or dreadnought, will land anywhere from 15km to 18km off the hole.

* Each ~~wormhole can only be jumped once every five minutes~~ in ~~each~~ direction ~~due~~ to ~~a game mechanic called~~ polarization. ~~Thus, if you were to~~ jump ~~X702~~ to ~~K162~~, ~~then~~ 1 minute ~~later~~ jump back ~~through the K162 to X702~~, ~~then you would~~ have to wait ~~four ''more'' minutes prior~~ to ~~make another jump from X702~~ to ~~K162~~. This is a very important thing to keep in mind, especially if you need to quickly leave a wormhole.

* Each jump from system to system will generate a 5 minute timer preventing you from doing the same jump in the same direction for the duration of the timer.

** If I jump from System A to System B, and then immediately jump back from System B to System A, I won't be able to jump A to B again until the polarization timer runs out.

** If I jump from System X to System Y, wait 1 minute, then jump back, I have to wait out a 5 minute timer before jumping X to T again, and an addition 1 minute before jumping D to C again. Polarization times happen both ways!

** This is a very important thing to keep in mind, especially if you need to quickly leave a wormhole.
