Wormholes

Thank you all.....

I feel like I am finally getting the basics down.

out of curiosity, what DPS can you expect out of a well skilled stealth bomber assuming the target is large enough?

I lived alone in c2 wh until 2 months ago. I read on a forum before, that you can lock wh by colapsing old wh exit then imedietly scan for new one. BM it, but not initiate warp to it. I'm prety sure I was alone in the wh at the time.

I did just that thinking that I was safe. But sceptic that I am, I was pasivly scanining the system. I notice someone was inside. I ask him in local where he enter. He said from high sec. High sec exit was exactly the one I "lock".

So it seams that you cant lock any more.

Definitely still possible few days ago I scanned our static, didn't warp to it and a bit later someone else warped to it and narrowly missed catching site runners who'd had probes out and saw the new WH spawn when he warped to it.

This is part of GM's reply to question about static spawn.


New Static spawn 60sec or so after old is closed and spawns on both sides.

It has to be spawned, I.E. Warped to. I've done a ton of testing on this and I was of the opinion that it was just "you have to find the corresponding high-sec or something!" Then I let a high-sec wormhole roll for 4 days (never warped to it, and it was there each day). When I finally warped to it it was in Aikoro, the Citadel, 4 jumps from Jita. Within an hour of warping to it 6 different pilots had poked their heads inside. Seemed highly unlikely that it went unnoticed for 4 days and then the hour after I warped to it 6 different guys just happened to scan it.


[edit] I'm confirming what Rroff is saying :p

Svo.

Here is the definitive answer on how to be ‘safe’ in a worm hole per my guys who do the scanning.

They will scan out our worm hole and see if there are other k162’s. If so they will close them. They then scan out our static worm hole and once they warp to our static we know it has shown up on the other side. (It might have already shown up if others have warped to the static) So now we close our static worm hole. (Yes this takes practice to not get left on the other side).

Once we have closed our static we now know for sure our worm hole is ‘safe’. No other ships can attack us from outside unless they come through a k162 wh. But we need to be constantly scanning with one probe. By constantly scanning, if we suddenly see another wh show up we know our wh has been invaded by at least one probing ship and possibly more. But until we see other wh’s appear we are safe to go about doing stuff in our worm hole.

Theoretically we could jump into our static and do the above to that static wh (closing all k162’s) and closing its static and we could safely run stuff in that wh. (We have actually done this a few times and have not been ganked when we did this tactic)

There is no safe in WHs. You are always being watched, someone is always looking to kill you, keep probes out and watch D-Scan to decrease the amount of times you'll get caught with your pants down. Dieing isn't a possibility in WHs, it's an inevitability.

Wormholes spawn in one system and have an exit (K-162) in another system.
Every wormhole has a spawn side (unique I.D.) and a exit K-162 side (all exits are K-162) Nobody can scan down the K-162 side of your static until it is spawned, but that does not stop someone else's K-162 exit from spawning in your system.

I say again, If the static wormhole in your system does not get activated nobody can scan down the K-162 exit on the other side.

However there is always a chance you could get an exit (the K-162 side) from another wormhole spawning in your system. This can be from anywhere, another wormhole, or k-space, but it is the exit of a wormhole that spawned in a system outside of yours. You can never scan down a K-162 in your system unless someone has already activated the other side. Just as they can not scan down the K-162 exit from your static until it is spawned.

To make it simple, you can control your static wormhole buy popping it and not spawning the new static, you however have no control over K-162 exits that spawn in your hole. If you ever see a K-162 exit in your hole, then you know somebody scanned it down and spawned it from the other side. Chances are, you have company.



That is about as simple as I can make it.

Bingo!
