In Hyperon will there be more wormholes created by CCP?

By that I mean brand new uninhabited wormholes.

Or will we see more connections to the same number of currently generated wormholes in New Eden?

AFAIK they mean the wormholes themselves rather than the systems those wormholes lead to - so more wormholes (connections) to the same number of systems.

You may well be correct. Clarification from CCP would be nice.

No clarification needed. They are adding more wormhole connections to already exsisting wormholes. This includes:


  • Class 4 wormholes gaining a 2nd static
  • New low jump mass W-space only connections that regenerate and are intended to be nearly impossible to roll.
  • Additional wandering wormholes that connect between W-space systems.

If you are correct that answers my question. Can you post a link to where you obtained the information, since you are not labeled as a CCP employee?

It pretty clearly says 'wormholes', not 'systems'. Read the dev blog for questions.

Perhaps I misunderstood the dev blog when they said

"We will be significantly increasing the spawn rate of all the existing wormholes that originate in W-space, as well as adding a whole new class of random wormholes with unique properties."


Somehow I got the feeling that might mean more wormhole systems. So your belief is that clearly means a whole new class of wormhole entrances to the same existing wormhole systems, thanks for your clarification, My bad!

Wormholes are the things connecting two systems. So you click on a wormhole and it transitions you to another system.
They are most common in w-space, which is that boatload of systems without local, gates and moon goo.

So while there will be more connections, no word has been said on new systems. Also, the player base would potentially murder the dev who wants to introduce more nothing between two inhabited systems.

Well "if" and I stress the word "if" there is more w-space systems added that wouldn't be the worst thing because that just means more room to house people to blow up Twisted

Only CCP know, they have not announced more wormholes but that does not mean there will be none.
They mentioned there may be other changes if I remember correctly, part of the fun is guessing what they might come up with?

It seems like getting a direct answer from CCP is not too much to ask for, however asking and getting are two different things.

Thanks for the lack of clarification CCP, it really makes me feel like you do not really check these forums except for the chances to seed the info you want, not the info players/ subscribers want.

I understand English is not the primary language of most CCP employees but a straight answer would be great, are you creating more systems as well as more connections to the currently existing systems?

It's pretty clear that they aren't adding new systems.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

The all the players who replied to this thread have answered your question correctly. We're adding wormhole connections. If we add new systems in the future we will clearly state that we are adding new systems.

Good job team, the system works!

Maybe if you knew how to read and had the faintest inkling of what reading comprehension is, this wouldn't be so hard for you. You could listen to everyone telling you the correct answer or just yell loudly that they're wrong and you don't know what's happening like you currently are.

I don't think it's worth CCP's time to devote a dev to answer someretard on the forums who can't read afucking dev blog, but apparently it is since Fozzie answered.

If you're going to ask for help, how about you accept it?

Stay autistic friend!

All the best,
