Hi ... this might be stupid question due to my lack of knowledge, but ... Wormholes can change their destination system?

Yesterday we got openned frig sized wormhole from our system into another C6 and today after downtime that WH leaded into different system than yesterday ... signature ID was same and WH was on same BM from yesterday ...

Is this some kind of normal behaviour of frig sized wormholes? or maybe just some bug due to patch?

It's a bug. Report it ingame with the date, time, and the two wormhole j numbers in question. They've been trying to track it for a while.

The other possibility even though is is near improbable with a billions to 1 odds is that the old wormhole has died and the new one has spawned in the same places, same sigs and in the same systems again. Considering the amount of new wormholes spawned each day it does happen occasionally.

ignore the plebs above. The frig wh from yesterday expired during downtime. Any wormhole that expires during DT, esp patch releases which DT is longer, respawns exactly same type, place, sig, just different destination.

It is either a bug or one of the great oddities of Wormhole Mechanics. We see this just about every day in Thera and have submitted several bug reports about it.

Basically, any WH that is due to expire within a few hours of Downtime seems to be able to time and mass regenerate and jump endpoint while staying in exactly the same location in its source system and keeping the same signature. It is not just holes that expire during Downtime as we have had a hole that was visited after DT spontaneously do this when it was due to expire a few hours after DT. That said, all of the holes that we have seen do the shuffle a few hours after DT were time critical at DT.

We have come across this a few times lately and find it quite annoying especially when you are waiting on the new static to spawn.
