==Wormholes - General Information==

~~You can scan down~~ Wormholes ~~from anywhere within EVE~~ space ~~through the System Scanner (found in the same menu as the directional scanner). This is done by launching probes and reading the results on the System Scanner~~.

Wormholes are tranisient phenomena that allow instantaneous transit across vast distances in space.

Wormholes ~~link together~~ the ~~known EVE Space~~ (~~K-Space) and Wormhole Space (W-Space) and are~~ the ~~only way to get to another W-Space system (mostly called pocket~~). ~~ALL Wormholes are randomly placed~~ and ~~are temporary. A given Wormhole allows only a certain amount of mass to go through~~ it ~~before it will destabilize and close forever.~~

You can scan down Wormholes from anywhere within New Eden by using the System Scanner (found in the same menu as the Directional Scanner). This is done by fitting a Scan Probe Lancher and loading it with Probes. The results of the probes' findings are read on the System Scanner.

~~If a Wormhole closes and you are in a pocket, there are only 2 ways to get out - find another WH or self destruct your pod~~. The ~~good news is, there~~'~~s always another wormhole. The moral is, never go into W-Space without a scanner~~.

~~Any new Wormhole you find may lead to ANYWHERE~~ (~~even deep 0.0~~) ~~in Eve, it may also be another~~ Wormhole ~~deeper into W-~~Space (~~[[Division 6|D6]] calls this "going deeper down~~ the ~~rabbit hole")~~. ~~There may be several Wormholes into and out of the same W~~-space ~~solarsystem~~.

Wormholes link Known Space (k-space) with Wormhole Space (w-space). K-space includes all the solarystems contained in the Star Map. If you can set a destination to it, a system is k-space, even if it is deep within nullspace (0.0).

A wormhole's state will be determined by two factors: Time and Mass. When it spawns, it will be open for a given time determined by the ~~name~~ of the wormhole and allow a set amount of mass through. When either variable reaches zero, the wormhole collapses forever.

Wormholes also link separate w-space solarsystems (or pockets). There are no Stargates in w-space. Once inside w-space, wormholes are the only way to get from one system to another. ALL wormholes are randomly placed and are temporary. A given wormhole allows only a certain amount of mass to go through it before it will destabilize and close forever.

~~Everytime~~ a ship jumps through the ~~Wormhole~~, the mass of the ship (can be seen in the "Show Info" of the ship) will be substracted from the remaining mass limit of the ~~Wormhole~~.

The ~~name~~ of ~~the~~ wormhole can be looked up and will tell some basic attributes of the wormhole.

If a wormhole closes and you are inside a pocket, there are only two ways to get out - find another WH or self-destruct your pod. The good news is, there's always another wormhole. The moral is, never go into w-space without a scan probe launcher and probes.

Any new wormhole you find may lead to ANYWHERE (even deep 0.0) in Eve, it may also lead to another pocket deeper into w-space ([[Division 6|D6]] calls this "going deeper down the rabbit hole"). There are often several wormholes into and out of the same w-space solarsystem.
