I feel like CCP is trying to tell me to go to wormhole space.


Not all wormholes lead to WH space.


Please ignore this pedantic person.

CCP is not telling you to go to WH space, but rather.... Bob is calling you.

I thought Bob died.

Bob isn't dead. Tonight I decided to skip into some random part of null without any plan of what I wanted to do beyond get there by wormhole. I spent 2 hours scanning down wormholes looking for any entrance that wasn't high sec.

I found nothing but high sec K-space connections for 2 hours.

It was a sign from Bob. Don't go to Null, danger lies ahead.

Bob saved my life tonight.

I found a WH from HS to null once.

But I didn't stick around. It was Nulli Secunda space so it was empty :(

I see it as a sign that known space is beginning to unravel, and I find myself looking around for loose threads to pull.

I'm curious, what part of space are you scanning in and how populated do you think it is? Because when I logged on yesterday and set about my 6 system circuit in FW lowsec, I found 17 data/relic sites. Higher than normal i'll grant you but there's always plenty to run in my area of space.



That's a fair amount of carbon!

Why the hell can't this be done? Are all the new WH's in actuality meant to be Everquest-esque timesinks??

Nah. The neighbors are noisy and don't maintain their yard or house, they're always getting visitors at strange hours, the guy across from you hasn't had a job in 4 years, I'm pretty sure someone in the house next to him is selling crack and I know of at least 6 cases of domestic violence on that street this week alone.

Too much drama. I think I'll just lock the doors and keep driving until I get where I want to go.

8 systems,

23 Anomalies.

1x - 2/10 plex
2x - 1/10 plex
2x - relic sites (did them both - got all T1 salvage and one x T2 ANN)

18x - WH.

15x (class1&2) Unknown parts of space - I don't even bother to jump in to Unknown parts of space WH's. They aren't unknown when they all have 3 or more POS's in them.

1X (class 3 or 4) Dangerous unknown parts of space
1 Null sec (catch region)
1 HS to HS that took me 7 jumps from where I went in. (dogfuck)

This happened in high sec.

Edit: Oh, and please take the time to learn wormhole descriptions. Unknown parts is C1-C3, and Dangerous unknown is C5-C6.

There is always going to be an abundance of WH connections in high sec because when a static high wanders into a WH, the residents keep it. If they get a wandering into low, null, or another WH, they're likely to close it to reduce risk.

Nothing scary comes out of high sec, just the occasional ratting Tengu or exploration Drake that makes a great killmail.

Lesson to be learned: if you don't like all of the WH's in high sec, roll them your damn self.

This would be terrible. A wormhole IS a signature. Period.

Seeing them on scan does not really open them up. When you are grid with the WH, then the K-162 appears on the other end.

Current state the k162 appears the instant someone initiates warp to the wh, regardless of whether they ever land on grid with it or not.

This is due to change per CCP in the upcoming Hyperion release. Post Hyperion the k162 will not immediately spawn on warp initiation. It (k162) will immediately spawn if someone jumps through it. CCP is also considering (not sure if it is final yet or not) forcing the K162 to spawn after some delay even if it is not jumped.

I'm right behind you

From K-space there are no C4 connections, and C5-C6's are both called dangerous as a result of C6's not being intended to have K-space connections when the description for that side of the WH was written, but were accidentally copypasta'd or whatever into the code for C5 K-space WH connections.

So from K-space looking in, what I defined is accurate.

From inside WH's going anywhere else, what you described is accurate. Blink

I heard wormholes are going to be all the rage after the next EXPANSION.

Perhaps you should take the time to learn WH descriptions


I am very much aware of how and why Wormhole mechanics work. I scan to 100% and check every wormhole I get on scan. I waste a lot of time by choice, looking for the HS to HS holes just to see where they come out. I wasn't complaining about more WH's but the OP was saying there were more than usual. He was right. Multiple systems are showing 4 and 5 and nothing else.

As for your assertion about Null holes to High and Lows? No, I have never seen anyone close them. They just despawn after 18 hrs. I ignore the Low sec ones like I do the K-Space ones. It isn't about skeery pirates, sorry I know you need it to be but it isn't. The Null holes I always check in case they lead to an NPC null that I can dock assets in. Or on the off chance I get one to Deklein so I can log assets out in. Though I am sure in the case of Deklein it will get collapsed because heaven forbid anyone show up uninvited.

It kinda still works for smaller systems (<30AU dia or very scattered celestials). You use a single (combat) probe and check your results relative strengths. Like there will be a certain common *strongest* (k162s, some other wormholes, easy scannable sites), and some other bands of weaker strength.
( http://swiftandbitter.com/eve/dsp/nullsec.html?str=108&f=5&sec=2 ) this still works.

Just keep in mind to center your combat probe on celestials and adjust the values by gut feeling when results are in the outer half of the sphere.

(Edit: Probes got half their radius as optimal and the second half as falloff, so to say in regards to their scan strength)
