Wormhole Total Mass and Collapsing

Hey, so I don't have a whole lot of practical experience with collapsing wormholes and would prefer not to get stranded when I try to get some practical experience, so...

Post crucible 1.1, how does wormhole collapsing work now? Is it straightforward, or is it still buggy (which is all I could gather from the threads ~4 months ago)

Basically, what's the mass deviance that is possible (roughly) on a WH's total jump mass?
When will it show that the WH is critical?
And is the last ship able to jump through regardless of it's mass as long as the WH isn't collapsed and the last ship has under the max jump mass (i.e. the WH has 20mil mass left and you jump a 100mil kg ship through, will it go through, or be prevented from going through)

And based on the answers to these questions, is there a systematic way of collapsing wormholes, or is it pretty much guess and check?

Aslong as the ship is under the max jump mass for that type of hole even if theres only 1kg left on it it can usually jump back collapsing the wormhole as it goes and arrive on the other side ok.

The approach to collapsing a wormhole depends a lot on whether you have hard data on exactly what has been through or not.

Theres always going to be a risk that you get stuck on the wrong side unless its a freshly spawned hole and you know exactly what has been through and have it calculated exactly for what ships you need.

Around +/-10% max mass of wormhole type.
10% or less remaining.
Yes.
Systematic, but everyone is different.

You don't expect us to tell you how to play do you? That ruins all the fun...

I don't expect you to, but some kind fellows already have.

I would question why you believe that my endeavor into wormholes is with the intention of having fun though... :)

Last time I help, honestly, do the search.

Bob Artis, you will be missed.
