Capital escalations are only C5 and C6

Is there any data on that? (ribbons) because I am fairly certain I have also read on these forums that the drop chance is the same for all sleepers.

the chance of getting nanos is the same (afaik and have experienced) but you can get more nanos from a BS than a frig/cruiser wreck.
eg: the most nanos you can get from a BS is 6, the most from a frig is 3.

as a note, you do not strictly need salvaging 4.
in a C5-6, you need a base salvaging strength equal to salvaging 5.
eg: salvaging5, salvaging 4 + 1 rig, salvaging 3 + 2 rigs or salvaging 2 + 3 rigs.
if youre going to salvage high end whs at all frequently, youre going to was a noctis with 3 salvage rigs and salvage at least 4, preferably 5.
this is more for your sanity than the difficulty of the salvaging.

It doesn't matter if you are in it or not. It is just the way it works.

The general convention is that WH systems are grouped into constellations similar to regular space. And that when a site is cleared a new one forms in a random system within that constellation.

I would tend to agree with this assessment, based on my short 5 months in a wormhole. So you will noticed spawns being very random (both sigs and anoms). Since WH space is less populated you have a greater occurrance of these sites pooling up in systems that are unoccupied.

But it really is not that different than empire space. Go camp out a single system in High sec. You will noticed for that one system it really does not spawn THAT many sites per day. And exploration in high sec is very busy. The WH is similar as you are basically living in just one system.

Honestly no idea. Plug your system into eve maps and it will show you the "constellation". I don't know where they get that info or how accurate it is

Not sure what exactly you mean by connected, but if you're talking about your static, then the answer is "no". If say you live in a C2 with a A239 (low sec) and D382 (C2) static, then the C2 that opens up via the static can be any C2 in the universe, including your own (yep, seen that once a couple years ago, it was interesting...). It really is quite random. Since there are so many C2's, chances are pretty slim that the system through the static is in your constellation.

Incidentally, all systems in one w-space constellation have the same type of statics, and iirc the "region" has systems of all the same class. There's also some speculation that the "respawns immediately somewhere in the constellation" thing isn't true, there's evidence to the contrary out there. It's possible that only CCP knows the answer, but it's also possible they don't really know what's going on, as is apparently the case with some other aspects of w-space

No, and you can't refit T3 subsystems either.




Some of our larger w-space brethren are so 'satisfied' that this is true that they have gone to a lot of effort to populate all the systems in their constellation ... especially (for example) the black-hole systems where unloved sigs and anoms tend to accumulate.

In doing this they can despawn sites and redirect them back to their main home systems.

Again, it's not proven and is entirely empirical ... but they seem satisfied that that is exactly how it works.
