To add to the thunder of Mark726's recent post about the release of Project Compass 2.0, I give you the updated Project Atlas, its wormhole navigational charts, and the List of All W-Space Systems. Together these resources should form the basis of a "map" of Anoikis and, hopefully ease navigation therein.

Much thanks to Mark726 for his support and effort with Project Compass (and for letting me join in his fun). Thanks also to Elisa Fir for pooling information on wormhole locations and signal strengths, and thanks also to Brawyn78 for recording and publishing data on w-space locus signatures. Thanks also to all the contributors of Project Snapshot, whose data helped guide Atlas's understanding of non-static wormholes.

I hope this project's results will prove useful for all those living in or interested in living in w-space.

Any additional information, comments, or corrections are welcome. Thank you and enjoy.

Outstanding work. Is this being released for peer review or for proof testing?

It's had a little of both already, but more would, of course, be welcome. There's certainly still a few holes in the charts which could use some filling in, especially for those hard to locate wormholes, and if anyone sees any errors, I'd like to know about them. Generally though, all of this information has been verified against large pools (600+ wormholes) of wormhole location data and scan test data.

I do a lot of wormhole travel.

Is there a guide for what to look for in wormholes, or a checklist perhaps, so those of us traveling around in them can gather extra information over time? Had I known about this project I could have gotten a lot of data. I spend so much time in wormholes using them to bounce around New Eden sometimes I don't see known space for weeks.

There are a number of observations the project could benefit from., if you find yourself in a situation where you can take a moment to document them.

Wormholes that have been sighted but need to have their base scan signal strength measured:
H̶1̶2̶1̶ ̶(̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶1̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶c̶1̶)̶ (base scan signal strength has been measured at 1/10)
C̶1̶2̶5̶ ̶(̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶2̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶c̶1̶)̶ (base scan signal strength has been measured at 1/15)
O883 (to c3 from c1)
Z̶9̶7̶1̶ ̶(̶l̶o̶w̶ ̶s̶e̶c̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶l̶a̶s̶s̶ ̶1̶)̶ (base scan signal strength has been measured at 1/20)
̶R̶9̶4̶3̶ ̶(̶l̶o̶w̶ ̶s̶e̶c̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶l̶a̶s̶s̶ ̶2̶)̶ (base scan signal strength has been measured at 1/25)

Wormholes that have not been sighted, need to have their stats verified, their locations verified, and their signal strength measured:
M̶6̶0̶9̶ ̶(̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶4̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶c̶1̶)̶ (has been sighted in c1 space, base scan signal strength has been measured at 1/25)
O128 (to c4 probably from some combination of high, low, or null sec)
L̶6̶1̶4̶ ̶(̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶5̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶c̶1̶)̶ (has been sighted in c1 space, base scan signal strength has been measured at 1/40)
B041 (to c6 probably from high sec)
U319 (to c6 probably from low or null sec)
S047 (to high sec from places unknown, possibly low sec)
B520 (to high sec from places unknown, possibly low sec)
N290 (to low sec from places unknown, possibly low sec)
C391 (to low sec from places unknown, possibly low sec)
C248 (to null sec from places unknown, possibly low sec)
K329 (to null sec from places unknown, possibly low sec)

Wormholes that might appear in more places than have been observed and need to be reported if found outside their scope:
Z̶9̶7̶1̶ ̶m̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶a̶p̶p̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶l̶o̶w̶ ̶s̶e̶c̶ (has been sighted in low sec*)
R̶9̶4̶3̶ ̶m̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶a̶p̶p̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶l̶o̶w̶ ̶s̶e̶c̶ (has been sighted in low sec*)
N432 might have a very low chance of appearing in high sec (most likely doesn't, based on Project Snapshot data)

Constellation Static wormholes also require documentation. Typically this will require long periods in the same w-space system, since these statics often takes a week or more to reappear. You will know if you if you've found a constellation static because it will be the "second" (or "third" in class 2 space) static type wormhole in system. If you find yourself in a system with one too many wormholes of the "static" type, make a note of what the extra static is and let me know. I'll be starting a database of that information to catalog the constellation statics. You can use the list of all w-space systems to discriminate between the true "native" static for a system and the "extra" static.

This is a very interesting project, keep it up as it will benefit all people of the cluster.

I can personally confirm that Z971 and R943 wormholes frequently appear in lowsec, after having spent almost two years living there.

As for N432 occasionally appearing in highsec, I'm pretty sure that I've seen these every once in a while but it's been a few weeks since I last found a link to a C5 system from highsec.

I can't help but notice that the system I reside in is not on the list, nor the static to our lo-sec friends. How complete (in %) would you estimate this list being?

Updated. Thank you.

As far as I'm aware, the list should be fully complete. If you can privately disclose to me your system's J locus signature I can look into why you're having trouble finding it, and, if it's missing, add it to the list.

Its a monumental achievement to be able to publish those results. The determination of the A'J Team really does inspire.


Whilst also indicating that unknown space is known space waiting to be explored!


Congratulations from a spectator on some seriously difficult and time consuming work.

Thanks! I will keep this handy. Please use this thread as a further medium if you need to update the list.

Spectacular results. Simply spectacular.

Now to test your methodology I would posit that doing the same exercise in reverse, using a central point within Anoikis to map out New Eden, would suffice for verification.

We know the map of New Eden. If your results match reality, I would go so far as to consider them entirely reliable.

Unfortunately that method might be a little more difficult given the nature of "statics" and that you'd have to force each wormhole to collapse before another one could form.
