I've been scanning daily for well over 2.5 years now. The most whs I've ever seen is 7 in any single system.

Needless to say this null with 13 whs blows that # away.

What's more strange is 7 of them were N432's. 5 were X702's and 1 was a lowsec. Furthermore they were all EOL.

Anybody have any ideas how this could have happened??

Seems like we found the same null.

It's actually more common than you think to find nullsec systems with a ton of wormhole connections.

They usually pop up in drone regions and the most i've seen so far was 15.

That's amazing. Just goes to show - just when you think you've seen it all! :)

Yeah i found this pretty interesting.

I was wondering last night if this was a system that had been upgraded specifically to increase the number of wormhole spawns and if so, how viable would it be for a wormhole pvp corp to take control of a null sec system and upgrade it in such a way for pvp/pve...

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

Could it be that the maximum of wormholes is 7 as before in w-space but actually have a higher limit in k-space?

No, I found a C2 with 8 active wormholes, see here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2251311#post2251311

So it sounds like the high # isn't too bizarre of an anomaly. But I'm still curious as to how they could ALL be EOL? I'm wondering if this was a glitch in the matrix to make them all spawn at the same time?

If they weren't K162, then they were there just waiting to be pinned weren't they? Dead systems accumulate WHs, if no one scans them down. So, someone must've scanned and warped them 20+ hours before Pizza man, hmm?

I'm inclined to agree with Fremen on this one.

I've never heard of this 'pinning' before. Do you have a source for this theory?

lol don't start this again.

Wormholes do not begin to decay until warped to. What he is saying is it is likely that somebody saw all these wormholes and warped to all of them anywhere from 12-20 hours before (Depending on the wormhole's individual life span) causing them all to EOL around the same time. Furthermore, if they came from one of the k162s, they could have opened all the others (the C3 wanderings) and they would match up with the timer on one of the k162s.

the maximum is only 7 for those people who have never seen more than 7...
ive seen more than 7 in WHs a fair few times.

You have to realize something about spawns of probeable signatures in space. If they're never warped to they're never activated.. So, if noone has probed the system for a while and/or bothered to warp to the holes, then their lifecycles have not started and therefore will remain indefinitely.

All of those hole types (n432, x702, etc) are outgoing meaning you initiate their connection to another location and would support that hypothesis. Where as, if the theory wasn't true, then you should expect to find K162's as well if this was a random aberration of the game to have all these holes in one system. No, those holes were probably there for weeks gradually building up due to lack of activity in the system.

In w-space people talk about spawn rates dropping when you move into a system. I've never subscribed to this theory. It may even be outmoded by now. It's easy to understand when people find a hole with 30 anoms, etc in it, move in then they're left with little to farm for the duration of their stay thinking "OMFG the spawn rate dropped". It's not that the spawn rate has dropped. It's that all those anoms, etc have never been warped to and their lifecycles have not been activated. The spawn rate is constant along an average so they build up and continue to do so until someone moves in and starts farming the system regularly keeping it clear of anoms.

And thus, is why you found this system with buttloads of wh's in it. That they were all EOL means someone got there first, warped to them and started their lifecycles which are usually between 16 & 24 hours for most holes.

Don't ban me, bro!

2 days ago we find null system with 18 W-holes : 3 C3 , 2 C2 and 13 C5 we saw here pilots from others WH corps then im pretty sure im not drink too much when we scan it :)
