I have been told that wormholes don't open until warped to, meaning that if your wormhole has a static C2 that has recently respawned, would that C2 remain closed and its 16-24 hour timer not started until you warp to it? What I mean by this is that if you don't warp to it then no one from another WH or from HS and so forth will be able to find the exit wormhole going into your system unless someone warps to it till your side thusly connecting a K162 to another sys. I've read some posts that also point to this mechanic, but unsure on how true this is, or if this a recent mechanic, or an old one that is no longer in place.

Yes was the correct answer. Your statics stay closed until you (or someone) inside the WH warps to one.

Statics stay closed until someone initiates a warp to them from inside your hole...

You can have other holes wander into yours, so if that happens and they scan, they can open your static(s)...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

Yip they spawn when you initialise warp. This leads to such fun as being able to scan down a k162 quickly and actually see the first covops jump on through.

Other WH shenanigans for your enjoyment include

The cosmic anomaly you scan down isn't the wh itself, it's a separate invisible entity that used to decloak you. It does not sit exactly on the WH itself and can be anywhere up to 10km off the WH. You're actually warping to this when you first initialise warp. This is why you don't end up consistent distances from a WH when you warp to it via the discovery scanner.

Where the WH is in relation to the cosmic anomaly changes over DT. Always redo your bm's post DT people!

A WH that collapses during DT does some weird things. Sometimes the new one will spawn in the same location, sometimes it'll stay up for hours overtime until someone jumps it, in which it'll magically collapse regardless of the mass left on it.

A WH that collapses also used to sometimes teleport you around. I never quite figured out the full rules for how this works but it used to drop you sometimes at another random wh in that system, sometimes back in POS.


I do love me some wormhole space crazyness :P

Well i'd say no they stay not allways closed, why ?

Because i allleady found a c2 -> c5/NS twice with a situation like that :
only NS exit/entrance was a k162, the other side was a E545

So their static NS was a k162 inside and a E545 outside, can't explain it though because it doesn't make sense and is not fitting with the " no, it doesn't open till you warp to it"-statements.

No i am pretty sure about that, it has been spotted by 2 of our scouts and confirmed by myself

Bug perhaps? But, there is no static K162...that I do know. And E545 is a static null found in C2's. C2 side was E545 and the null side was K162, or suppose to be. I don't know. The C3 I have been in for a week now is doing weird stuff today.

Did you scan out the sigs inside? I guess theres a chance you could have found a wandering from null into the c2, which means there should have been another exit to ns in there somewhere? I'm still hesitant to believe everything out there as fact related to .wormholes, maybe thats just EVE paranoia though lol.

NS static wh's in c2 are in the same band as mags/relic. Yeah, you either messed up or it timed out & u didn't see the new one.
