Wormholes

.. then this is crazy.

I live in a c3 and we currently have a direct to high sec wormhole, (not our static) which we have had for about 12 hrs now.

Just scanned down another WH in our c3, (again not our static) leading to a c1 with a high sec exit to.... yup you guess it. the same high sec system.

Just wanted to share this semi-amusing anecdote of WH life and coincidences. Anyone else have any scary coincidence stories?

I once had 2 incoming k162's from the same nullsec system.

Once I was living in a C2. In the morning I had used a scan alt to scan down the HS static. I warped to it, and bookmarked it, but for some reason (can't remember why) I hadn't jumped through).


Later that day i was exploring around high sec. I came across a k162 WH and jumped in. It was the static to the C2 that I had scanned down earlier with my alt. I still remember the system was Hai in domain.

Not long ago I ended up getting a 5 system WH chain that ended back at our WH. Literally there was no way out.

It happens, and I can confirm that having a static to one system and the static of that system leading right back to the same system is also possible. It's extremely rare but it happens.

If you scan enough you will see weird instances like this every now and then. It is completely random, but it's still funny having things like your chain mapper make a big loop because a wormhole down the chain connected to your home system, etc

My personal favorite was getting a big fleet together to help defend a system from an invasion. We had caps, and were going to attempt to roll all night because the hostiles had wh control and strong coverage. The odds of rolling into a specific c5 are about 0.2% per attempt. Thus we were prepared to roll all weekend if needed. We got the target hole on the second roll after about 2 minutes of rolling. Bob is a mysterious wh god

I once had a C2 or C3 with static leading to a high sec system, and a k162 from the same high sec at the same time.

Also had a C4 static C4 with a 5 jumps pipe leading to the entrance system, no other solution.

two version of the snake biting his tail.

If a static wormhole is set to expire during downtime, the new one spawns in the exact same spot and the destination is randomized again.

Favourite example of this is us finding an outbound Null from our C5. We jumped in, finding local empty and scanned about. We found a wormhole and, you guessed it, it went back to our home system. We had 2 wormholes to the same system /o\

It actually happened to us few weeks ago.

I lived in a W-space continuously for around 540+ days and in my time there i can honestly say that WH spawning is not random, just seems like it.

I even had an ISD confirm that the new WH exit has no destination until you warp to it..

I even was so sad as to log every exit , keeping the WH exit bookmarking it in K-space.

After awhile i found that there was a reoccuring pattern, like a loop. It may not be the same system, but one jump over, following constellations etc.

Until one day i warped to an exit that was on the verge of collapse. So i waited as the timer ran down.

There i sat, cloaked in a Helios.. waiting and waiting.. well beyond its timer limit.

It didnt collapse.

I threw some probes out to scan for another exit but the only signature other than sleeper sites that came back was the WH i was staring at. Or thought it was.

I then realised that it was not the WH i had began to wait for to collapse.

Strangely enough, the new exit had appeared in the exact same spot as the old one, and led to the same exit system..

Very Bizarre

Was moving out of a c5 static c1 with a highsec while, my alliance was moving into another c5 static c1, with a highsec. While moving my ship out I ran into my alliance mate from the new wormhole on the highsec, we freaked out for about 10 seconds. But when I warped my first ship onto the connecting wormhole to our new c5, it collapsed in front of me.

Was scanning all the sigs in my wormhole, when i find a k162. As I warp to the new signature it does before I land. Then I immediately scan again, find another wormhole, and it dies while I'm in warp as well.
