wormhole eve online

In EVE Online, a wormhole (often abbreviated as WH) is a temporary, unstable connection between two solar systems. Unlike traditional stargates, wormholes are not fixed and can collapse after a certain time or when too much mass has passed through them. They are a key feature of wormhole space (W-space), which consists of uncharted systems with unique mechanics and valuable resources. Key Features of Wormholes in EVE Online: Types of Wormholes: - Known Space (K-space) Wormhole Space (W-space): Connections between high-sec, low-sec, null-sec, and wormhole systems. - W-space W-space: Links between different wormhole systems. - Thera: A special wormhole system with static connections to multiple regions. Wormhole Classes (C1-C6): - Wormhole systems are classified from C1 (easiest) to C6 (hardest) based on difficulty. - Higher-class wormholes have stronger NPCs (Sleepers) but better rewards. Mass & Lifetime Mechanics: - Wormholes have a total mass limit (e.g., 1 billion kg) and a time limit (e.g., 24 hours). - Exceeding mass or time causes the wormhole to collapse. Signature Scanning: - Wormholes appear as cosmic signatures that must be scanned down with probes. - Different wormhole types have unique IDs (e.g., K162 for incoming wormholes). Wormhole Effects: - Some wormholes apply system-wide effects (e.g., reduced shield capacity, increased weapon damage). Player-Owned Structures (POS/Citadels): - Wormhole systems allow for player-owned structures, but with no local chat, making them dangerous. Gameplay in Wormhole Space: Exploration: Data/relic sites, gas harvesting, and sleeper caches. Combat: Running sleeper anomalies for ISK and loot. PvP: Ambushes, evictions, and small-gang warfare. Industry: Building T3 ships (using materials from wormholes). Wormhole Terminology: Static: A permanent wormhole connection that respawns in the same system. K-Space: Known space (high-sec, low-sec, null-sec). Rolling: Intentionally collapsing a wormhole to spawn a new one. Chain: A series of connected wormholes leading to different systems. Tips for Wormhole Survival: Always bookmark both sides of a wormhole. Use covert ops cloaks to avoid detection. Watch for mass limits to avoid collapsing a wormhole unintentionally.
