Wormholes: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
m Clean up and some stuff added. Will add size colors soon.
m Example Wormholes: , put it a couple of different examples. I plan to add more when I find some new holes.

From the information popup on this wormhole we can tell quite a few things.
From the information popup on this wormhole we can tell quite a few things.


* The O477 name means that this is an entrance, not an exit (which would be a K162). The difference doesn't mean much, at least mechanically, except that an entrance give much more information. For example, [[Wormhole Information|the Wormhole Information page]] tells us that a O477 wormhole leads to C3 wormhole space, has a total mass allowance of 2,000,000,000 kg, has a per-transit ship mass limit of 300,000,000 kg, and a maximum stable time of 16 hours.
* The B274 name means that this is an entrance, not an exit (which would be a K162). The difference doesn't mean much, at least mechanically, except that an entrance give much more information. For example, [[Wormhole Information|the Wormhole Information page]] tells us that a B274 wormhole leads to high sec K-space, has a total mass allowance of 2,000,000,000 kg, has a per-transit ship mass limit of 300,000,000 kg, and a maximum stable time of 24 hours, and the wormhole mass regenerates over time.
* The wormhole is end of life, meaning it is anywhere from 4 hour to 5 minutes away from collapsing. Jumping through this hole is a risky move as it could collapse at any time.
* The wormhole is beginning to decay, meaning it is more than 4 hours away from collapsing. Jumping through this hole is quite safe, timewise.
* The wormhole has not had its stability decreased by mass pushed through it.
* The wormhole has had its stability reduced by a significant amount of mass pushed through it. This is generally known as '''first shrink'''. The wormhole is still safe to transit in smaller ships.
* Ships larger than a frigate, a destroyer, or a specially fit HIC can jump through this hole.
* Any ship that is Battleship size or smaller can pass through the hole (color of the flare is turquoise).
* The cyan wedge around the wormhole entrance tells us that the wormhole has been bookmarked.

Again, we can tell quite a few things.

* The E004 name means this is an entrance. The [[Wormhole Information|Wormhole Information page]] tells us this wormhole leads to unknown space (Class 1 or Class 2 w-space), has an unknown total mass allowance, has a per-transit ship mass limit of 5,000,000 kg, a maximum stable time of 16 hours, and this wormhole's mass regenerates over time.
* The K162 name means this is an exit. The name is generic, and we really cannot get any information about the hole - except, the color of the hole means we are going into a C3 system, and the color of the flare says large ships can pass through the wormhole.  
* The wormhole is not yet end of life.
* The wormhole is beginning to decay, meaning it is more than 4 hours away from collapsing. Jumping through this hole is quite safe, timewise.
* The wormhole has not had its stability decreased by mass pushed through it. Due to the mass regeneration on this type of wormhole, it is unlikely you'll ever see it in any other condition.
* The wormhole has had its stability reduced by a significant amount of mass pushed through it. This is generally known as '''first shrink'''. The wormhole is still safe to transit in smaller ships.
* Only frigates, destroyers, and specially fit HICs can jump through this hole.
* Any ship that is Battleship size or smaller can pass through the hole (color of the flare is turquoise).
* The cyan wedge around the wormhole entrance tells us that the wormhole has been bookmarked.
