Static wormholes?

I know that if you have a static wormhole leading to C3 (for example) that you will always have at least one wormhole leading to C3.

What is not clear to me is how do you know if a system have a static wormhole?

Is it in some table in SQL data dump, the specific WH signature (when you see it you know it's a static), or something that only players living in the system can tell (for example, a group of players is living in a single W-Space system for a month and each day they have a different wormhole leading to the same class of systems)?

I am not new to the game, but I don't have much experience with W-Space.

Thank you for your answers.

Use that website to check out your wormhole

This is a signature

The only real way I can be sure personally is to observe the WHs after they have despawned, and respawned. I often just leave an alt inside overnight or for a couple of days in any WH I want to check up on, and rescan the system once I am sure things should have de/respawned.

There may indeed be something in the naming code of the WH that gives away which is a static, but I haven't noticed anything with enough consistency to be SURE I have found a static and not just a random. For example, H121, P060, Q317, V301, Y790, Z647, Z971 are all WHs that lead to C1 W-space systems. I remember Z647 as being the connection from a C2, and I think the Y790 was the C1>C1 WH, but without observation it's really hard to tell if it is indeed a static you are looking at, or just one of the entirely random connections that can happen.

EDIT: Or you can cheat and use the site linked above me! =P

I used to use staticmapper a lot during my first year or so living in w-space. Unfortunately, I have found too many wrong entries for claimed statics.

I now highly recommend using www.wormnav.com written by Splodger of BVN. I have yet to come across an inconsistency with this tool. In addition, there are some great links included with this tool.

Edit: I tried to include some examples but kept getting BBC code errors. So, run a search on R12 in staticmapper, look for any systems with more than one static, and run those systems thru wormnav.

C3 systems only have statics leading to Hisec, Lowsec and Nulsec. And they ONLY have one static. Any other named wormholes found in a C3 are dynamic (or random) wormholes.
