Again, we can tell quite a few things. | |||
* The O477 name means that this is an entrance. A O477 wormhole leads to C3 W-Space (this can be visually identified by the color of the wormhole), 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 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 had its stability critically disrupted by the mass of numerous ships passing through and is on the verge of collapse. This is generally known as '''crit'''. The wormhole is still unsafe to transit, as it could collapse behind you and trap you in hostile space. Specially fitted HICS are used to collapse the hole. | |||
