Wormholes

That is the going theory. With everything I have seen and experienced I believe it to be true.

You'd have to be 100% sure someone else hadn't already scanned down and initiated warp to the static however. The usual technique is to scan it down first thing then collapse it and not initiate warp to the new static this massively lowers tho doesn't eliminate the chance of getting jumped from your static link* but you could still be linked to from other holes at any time.




* Hostiles could have already come inside and/or someone could already be lurking and scan down the new static ( watch for probes ).

This is a myth spread around by the hard core PVP groups for a long time.

All wormholes automatically spawn weather you warp to them or not, they made the story up just so people think there safe and not place scouts out. Truth is you have to have your static open whilst your running sites because its better the one you know is open than the one you don't know.

Anyone posting different in here with the ludicrous idea that WH's don't open until they warp to them are just trying to get you killed.

Not proven. But this is what the data seems to suggest.

Uh, what? Incoming wormhole spawns and someone comes through it, and that makes you think that wormholes open before someone warps to them? When obviously someone warped to it?

The five minute delay is easily explainable if you've ever watched someone who doesn't live in wormholes scan stuff down. He probably warped to it while he was still scanning, and then sat there for a few minutes finishing his scan or picking his nose before he went in.

Easiest way to prove that WHs you don't warp to aren't open is to leave them for a couple days. They'll still be around long after they normally should have expired, unless someone was in your system and opened it for you.

If you've never sat on the k-space side of a wormhole to a busy hisec system, try it sometime. Just sit there cloaked and keep an eye on dscan. You'll be surprised at how long it takes someone to scan down your wormhole, how many people never show up at the wormhole after scanning it down, and how many people show up at the wormhole and then sit there for several minutes.

crash your static before downtime, scan it afterward and jump through

your static will have a downtime sig at your end and a post-DT sig on the other



and any c6 site runner can probably tell you that they only have a little while before the scanner pops through (about the time it takes to warp, BM and jump)

youre very wrong on this one.
it's pretty easily checked too for anyone who cares to, or just observed by people who scan regularly and pay attention.

No, it's not hard to prove it. Thank you.

This has got me thinking about a difficult experiment. Because of the lack of detail on the system map I'm not certain it could be completed, but not for lack of the experiment being valid. Hell, for all I know this may have already been done and the goal observed.

Anyway, the experiment is to get on grid with an un-spawned wormhole by scanning it down to pinpoint its location on the map then creating a safe at that location. Doing so is the prohibitively difficult step on this experiment, but once that was done have someone warp to the scanned wormhole signature. The pilot on grid would then be able to watch the formation of the wormhole.

True.
