How many dedicated scanners would it take for me to map out all of wormhole space and keep it updated? I am thinking of something similar to eve-scout but on a much larger scale.

Hundreds of scouts? A thousand?

nowhere near that many on average.
assuming each scout scans for 1 hour a day and we take the conservative number of being able to scan 10 systems in that hour, you'd need around 250 scouts.

it breaks down of course if the scouts are in systems that just don't connect to all WH systems so yes, the upper end is as many scouts as there are WH systems but that's very unlikely.

(Also ignoring shattered systems here cos no one cares)

I bet Damien over at Tripwire could provide all the data in one go Lol

We only see a portion of the info on a per user/corp/alliance on TW but I dare say he has the programming ability to "join the dots" between each portion to provide a full map.

Obviously he'll never do it as people would stop using Tripwire pretty sharpish!!

rage rolling highclass wormhole corps are going to drive u crazy. you would prob have to end up seeding them and keeping their chains updated.

gl tho. i like big ideas
