Does the K-Space location of a wormhole have any effect?

Ya know its hard to even say given that the OP has given very little pertinent information. Are the WH's you are finding k162's?

If so I guess it's possible that lots of peeps in wicked creek have whatever upgrades that are responsible for more WH's, so they get more, and therefore you find the other end more often.



That makes sense. I probably enter K162's at least half the time.

If your talking about k162's inbound; yeah it's random. Some regions will have more people scanning wh's down hence more k162.

What's interesting is during the times I lived in multiple c1-c3, the statics atleast 40% of the time lead to a specific rat space. For example, my last c3 dumped out to blood raider rat space easily 4/10 times.

If you compare the massive number of random wormholes with the massive number of eve players.
And then assume that only those that have crazy unlikely things happen to them will make forum posts about it.

Then you get a perfectly logical and..

Odds are that if you're flying through wormholes leading to highsec or other parts of empire you've noticed that they mostly lead to Amarrian space, this is still random, it only occurs because Amarr owns more space in highsec than any other empire.

Hope this cleared up what you were asking.

Also when a wormhole is jumped through for the first time, only then does the wormhole on the other side open up. So naturally if there is a higher concentration of players in a specific region, it makes sense that you would find more wormholes to that region.

I know what you mean. I get a lot of Amarr exits.

So code can't do random in the way we think of random, as in picking a number out of nowhere. Code instead uses something as an initial number and throws it through some equations to come up with something that feels random. As such over time, you may notice a pattern (humans are awesome at that) if you use a random function with a seed (initial number) that's regular. Most random numbers are made of time and/or date or somesuch other number always available. It could be that whatever formula CCP uses is using time alone and times that are close together (as in you play more or less the same time each night) are creating "random" numbers that are similar and thus generating systems that are nearby.

Anyone up for jumping on Sisi for the next month once a day and initialising warp to a k space exit at the same time to see what happens?

Other option is confirmation bias. You don't like Wicked Creek so Wicked Creek exits stand out more so it feels like you always get them. Maybe try recording every region every time you head out?

I don't know about NS statics, but my hole has a hisec static. Eventually the entire corp just moved their crap to Amarr because between our static and our C1's probable static we almost always were closest to Amarr. I bet 5 of 7 days we'd have an Amarr exit available. I have no idea why, but sometimes you just have to relax and think of England.

There are significantly more amarr systems/regions in the game than the other races. See:

https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Empire_space#Empire_Sovereignty_Listing

It's unsurprising therefore that you saw amarr more often. Just as people see drone lands nullsecs more often than others.

in fairness, we have lived in wormholes now just over 5 weeks. we have noticed that we get drone region nullsecs a LOT and the rest are only on and off wormholes that we sometimes get.. dont know why!



You can see a patern in anything if you look hard enough. Wormholes are completely random

High count of systems near amarr is the reason. You welcome.

Any evidence for this? The wormhole upgrade seemed like the only way a wormhole alliance could move to 0.0 while retaining their identity as a wormhole alliance.

Wormhole alliances don't live in 0.0.

They do,
Don't mean to add more misinformation to the rumors, but from what I understand the wormholes spawn at downtime and are not statics, its also not 100% chance every day with the highest tier upgrade, but pretty close.

Yeah, just checked, amarr has 40% of empire. Problably also the reason that trade hub takes blue loot.

There was one week 3-4 months ago where our c5 had a k162 that went to the same null constellation 5 times.2 of which were the same system. This was 5 of our maybe 9 backdoors that week. Very general but it was quite interesting to me. Since then nothing crazy like that.
