ive been out probing alot in the last week i swear to god there are more wormhole out there then other site.

ive been in systems were there 6 wormhole and not any other site.

I think its time ccp turn down the wormhole spawn rate.

Why not just explore the wormholes if there are so many? There's a lot of potential profit in those.

Oh god.

Same number of WH's exist every day.

Just in different places.

There are approximately 5200 kspace systems and 2490odd wormhole systems, given those figures then around 33% of solar systems in eve are wormholes systems, it's a game of numbers so why wouldn't wormhole systems be amongst the most common sigs found while probing?

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

then if so then why not just setup difffent probes like one that cant find wormhole so i dont have to deal with them.

Oh why have the skill up to drop 8 probes and 4-5 do the job the extra dont seem to help at all.

Well, there are tricks to tell different signatures one from another, mostly by knowing signature strengths of different things. Granted, that isn't applicable all the time, but sometimes help. I believe most probing guides have recommendations on how to do that.

Meanwhile you can indeed try to explore wormholes; honestly, hisec explo is a pain anyways unless you can and are willing do those lowsec expeditions, and then you are definitely ready to make some isk in C2.

Given that BC's are extremely common and most people can fly a Drake because it's currently EZmode, a C2 or a C3 are extremely viable for spelunking daytrips, a well fit BC should be able to solo a C2 with ease and even a C3 is viable.

More people in w-space = more wormholes being opened. Stop initiating warp to wormholes!

Take a look at SiSi. There are hardly any wormholes, as w-space is pretty much empty. Sort of like the early days of w-space on TQ.

Besides, it is so easy to ID wormholes by their signal strength.

How to quickly filter out non-WH signatures?

This is the answer to your question, learn to filter your scan results.

The only way to delete wormholes in k-space is to delete wormholes that have them as a static. People are already crying there is not enough C1/C2/C3 wormholes (which contain k-space statics) so its just as likely they will add more.

I kindof agree because small corps cant remove large towers from C1's for example. Its more a problem with allowing large pos's in small wormholes though.

how a thread beginning with there is too many Wh end ups in small corps can't remove large tower from C1 ...really that hard to stay on topic?


No there Isn'too many WH, need more for exploration!!!

CCP it's time to remove Off Grid Boost and Put Them on Killmail too, add Logi on killmails .... Open that damn door !!

I think the number of exploration sites in k-space is getting kind of rediculous. We should nerd that so wormhole dwellers don't have to find those when scanning for wormholes in high sec.

Wait, that's a terrible idea? Phew, glad I came to my senses on that one before it got silly.

I think it's time for you to learn how wormhole mechanics work.

Wormholes are the vermin of the sky. They do make exploring a pain. Or you do what many do, ignore some signature strengths, which also means bypassing some non-wormhole sites. Having game content that is so annoying that people bypass it indicates there is some bad design that needs fixing.

Things CCP could do:

Make WHs have a different type than combat sites, like "unstable" or "spacial" instead of "unknown",
Have the actual site type show up at lower signature strengths,
Bring back the old observer probe that would tell you what is in a solar system in detail, but give absolutely no position information.

"probing sucks and i don't know how to use deep space probes... There should be less wormholes"Roll

Not knowing what you are scanning down is all part of the scanning process. If people could just filter what sites they want to see then scanning would be too easy and before you know it, you would be back on these forums crying about how people are beating you to all the exploration sites.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

You have wormholes in hi-sec ? nice !
