Hey. I am trying to learn more about wormholes and I have a question about mechanics. I thought I read somewhere that if say if a wormhole has a static to a C3 that the hole doesnt spawn in the C3 until someone goes through from your system with the static. Is this correct or does the connection spawn on both sides at the same time regardless of someone going through the static? If the former is true does that mean that unless someone is in your WH already and you have no other holes than the static that if you roll your statics in essence its locked down until someone goes through.

Since the Hyperion changes the spawn mechanic works like described in the link below

https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/into-the-known-unknowns/

i took the liberty to paste the part which answers your question below:


As of Hyperion, we are planning to have K162 signatures appear as soon as the first player jumps through their wormhole connection. This prevents players in the destination system from receiving unfair early intelligence while also ensuring that a vigilant player can determine if a potentially hostile intruder has entered their system through a new wormhole connection.

Once a wormhole has been jumped through once, the K162 signature will remain scannable for the lifetime of that wormhole. This scannable state will persist across downtimes.

After discussion with the community we have decided to make some adjustments to this plan to ensure that enough wormhole connections become visible to keep travel options open.

Although K162 signatures will not appear as soon as a player warps to them (as they do currently), they will have a random chance to appear every several minutes once the wormhole connection has less than 15 hours of natural lifetime remaining.
