I compiled this list off the top of my head and what has been on the front page for the last 2 weeks. I will reserve some space below if I need to answer additional questions in the future or if I forgot any today. Guys who help out a lot around here, please reply and let me know if my information is slightly off, or if I had a question in my answer (how much do C6 sites pay for example?).
FAQ of the Wormhole Space Subforum
Q: The wormhole I came in is gone, what do I do? A: Breathe. First, do you have probes? Do you know what the static of the system is? If you have probes, check www.wormnav.com and put in the J-ID of the system you are in. If it is a low or high-sec static, you have a decent chance of getting out okay. If it is a null, C4, C5, or C6 static, it's going to be a pain in the ass to get out of. If it doesn't seem worth the trouble and your clone isn't too expensive, self-destruct your ship and your pod.
Q: What are some good resources for a beginning explorer? A: The following websites are all hugely helpful to beginning wormhole explorers. www.wormnav.com www.staticmapper.com (not always accurate on statics, but easy to read) www.wormhol.es talocanunited.com/wordpress/
Q: Have nanoribbon drop rates been nerfed? A: No. Random chance means that every ship in a site has a chance to drop from 0-5 nanoribbons, which means in some cases you can be extraordinarily lucky and get 40 ribbons from a single C1 site, or none from a C4 site.
Q: Why aren't there wandering wormholes in C4s, C5s, C6s, and why do I have two of the same static in my C1-C3? A: There are no wandering wormholes in C4-C6 because it is a design choice by CCP at this point. They've known long enough that the wormholes are not spawning that it has to be choice. Please note that High, Low, and Null still spawn in C5 and C6. You do not actually have two of the same static, one is a wandering wormhole. At this time, I am unsure if crushing the one that is actually your static will respawn your static, or if both have to be crushed.
Q: What fit do I need for C1-C6 wormhole and what ships should I fly? A: Generally speaking you want something that can shoot out at least to 20km in C1-C3s for ease of purpose. C4s-C6s you need something that can shoot from 20-100km for the sub-cap side of things. Damage Output Needed / Damage Tank Needed C1: 100-200 DPS, 100-200 DPS tank C2: 200-300 DPS, 300-400 DPS tank C3: 400+ DPS, 500 DPS tank (sleepers can neut you out) C4: 800+ DPS (more preferable), 1500 peak DPS tank (sleepers can neut you out, some will point/web) C5: 2000+ DPS, 2000-2500 peak DPS tank (Sleepers are evil neuters, all will point/web as well) C6: 2000+ DPS, 3000+ peak DPS tank (I have heard the requirements are similar to C5s).
Q: How many people should I have in my class of wormhole? A: It varies depending on what you want to do. Industry-wise a Wormhole can support about 15-20 pilots a week. As you approach C4s, C5s, and C6s, that number increases to 30-40 pilots per week due to increased grav/ladar spawn rates. At any time though, you may find your system has run out of resources and you will have to farm through your static. Below you will find my recommended number of pilots per combat site sorted by wormhole class; please note that the high-end numbers are often pushing the limits of your resources (i.e. you will run out of sites quickly). Combat Sites: C1: 1-5 pilots C2: 1-7 pilots C3: 1-7 pilots C4: 3-10 pilots (CAN be solo/duo'd, just not worth it imo) C5: 5-15 pilots (Capitals/Tengus dominate the lower end of this) C6: 5-20+ pilots )Capitals/Tengus dominate the lower end of this)
Q: Can I solo/duo C4s; is it worth it over C3s? A: Yes, you can solo or duo C4s. No, it will not be much more money than C3s and it will be more difficult and take a more expensive ship to do. It will be a LOT safer due to reduced traffic to C4s.
Q: Can my Tech 3 ship (Proteus, Legion, Tengu, Loki) solo C3 sites? A: Yes, any T3 can be properly fitted to solo C3 sites. See the above requirements.
Q: How much is this random wormhole I found worth? A: That depends on several factors: the class of the wormhole, its static, its wormhole effect (if there is one), how many sites it has in it, the planetary composition, how many moons it has, and whether or not it is already inhabited. There is no gold standard for wormholes, but generally speaking you will not get paid more than a billion for any system that does not have a tower, customs offices, or capital ships in it. Certain highly desirable system types (C5/C3 magnetar comes to mind) may break this rule, but try to price based on recent sales of similar wormholes.
Q: Awesome, can I sell that wormhole on this forum? A: No sorry, as is stickied at the top of the forum, you must put wormholes that are for sale in the "Sell Orders" forum.
Q: What is the expected ISK/hr in my class of wormhole? A: That varies depending on how much your income is dependent upon Melted Nanoribbons, which are a salvage drop that varies in sell price from about 4.5 mil to 6 mil pretty regularly. C1: ~25 mil per hour per pilot C2: ~50 mil per hour per pilot C3: ~75-100 mil per hour pilot C4: ~100 mil per hour per pilot up to 10 on grid (if you have more split into squads) C5: ~150-200 mil per hour per pilot up to 10 on grid for non-escalations C5 Escalations: At minimum 650 million per site plus nanoribbons and power circuits (time varies wildly based on method of clearing) C6: ~200 mil per hour per pilot up to 10 on grid for non-escalations C6 Escalations: At minimum 700 million (C6 corp please verify this) per site plus nanoribbons and power circuits (time varies wildly based on method of clearing).

Q: What is the "best" Player Owned Structure (POS) setup? A: You should always build to what you need, but there are 2 setups that are the most common. First, always pick a large tower unless you are in a C1, a C2, or a really undesirable C3/C4. Depending on your race, you can choose to build either a Death Star or a D1ck Star. A Death Star has 12-16 jams, 4 warp disruptor/scramblers, 2-4 webs, at least 2 energy neutralizing batteries anchored, 2-5 hardeners to fill the resist holes and 16-30 guns (in varying states of online/offline). A D1ck Star has 24-48 jams, 4 warp disruptor/scramblers, 2-4 webs, at least 2 energy neutralizing batteries anchored, 2-5 hardeners to fill resist holes, and 8-16 guns (or more if you want spares).
Q: Which race is the best choice for a POS? A: General attitude in wormhole space is Amarr > Caldari > Minmatar > Gallente. Amarr has the best power-grid and its guns use crystals, but it can only do EM/Therm damage (if you match your bonus, which you should). Caldari has the best shields and CPU, and stronger jammers, but has poor damaging defense. Minmatar has decent shields and artillery are good, but it has poor power-grid compared to the Amarr, and autocannons eat ammo like crazy. Gallente has the poorest shields, but decent fitting numbers. These are usually the cheapest tower. CEO of Heaven's End; Seller of Wormholes. |

Q: There's a drake running my C2 anoms. What should I do? A: Attack it. No way is it a tarp!
Q: POS hardener modules are confusing, what do I do with them? A: Place them on the outside of your FF for maximum resist bonuses
Q: If I park my crane carrying Tengu subsystems in a safe spot, eject and log off in another ship, will it be safe? A: Absolutely!
Q: Can I run a C4 site solo? I have up to 6bil isk to fit a Nightmare. A: Yes. You're living in w-space. It's so safe there's no need to have friends to run anoms. And you want to maximize your isk/hr potential. The more isk you invest in your faction ship, the better. Don't forget budgeting 1 - 2bil more for specialized implants. HTFU!...for the children! |

1. If you have an "extra static" (actually a random) in your C1-C3, and your static despawns (due to time or mass) then it *does* immediately respawn. No need for the random one to despawn first.
2. Back in early 2012 my corp ran C1 sites with Tengus/Legions and our typical isk/hr was around 75 mil per pilot (3-6 pilots). Very dependent on the nano drop, of course. Average was about 2 per site, ranging from 0 to 13 for us. |

Hey Jack,
Thanks for the clarification. Is that at both the escalation levels and the normal dinking around level?

the escalation levels are the same in c5 and 6. but with most c6 sites you start with a lot of battleships already on the field.
as for income, quad escalations make about 700m per site, and should take about 2 siege cycles (10 minutes. so thats about 4b an hour give or take. |

Q: I think it would be awesome to live in a C3 with static exits to LowSec and C2. Can somebody find one of those for me? A: Sure thing. As soon as you bring me a unicorn. Seriously, there are only certain configurations of statics in the game:
C1 and C3 systems always have a single static. It leads to either HighSec, LowSec or NullSec. If you find one of these systems with a wormhole leading to w-space, that wormhole is a wandering hole. If it has multiple wormholes leading out to k-space, only one of them is the static.
C2 systems always have two statics. One of them leads to k-space (hi, low, or null) and the other leads to w-space. There are only six combinations that exist: HS/C1, HS/C3, HS/C4, LS/C2, NS/C5, NS/C6
C4, C5 and C6 systems always have a single static. It leads to w-space. It can potentially be any class (C1-C6).
Q: But I just checked staticmapper.com and it says that there *IS* a C3 system with statics to both C2 and LowSec. A: In the past (still?) StaticMapper allowed people to edit the information about statics. Unfortunately, some bad information has been entered by people who didn't know what they were doing, and it seems wandering connections were entered as being statics. And some legitimate statics were deleted. For example, the C2 system I personally lived in for several months has HS/C1 statics. Staticmapper shows it only having a C1. |

Q: I'm in a C2, and there are two statics to other wormholes! A: This happens every now and again. One of them will be the actual W-space static. The other will be a wandering outbound wormhole. Enjoy the extra connection!
Q: It says that I'm polarized! Now what? A: If you try to go through the same wormhole, in the same direction, twice in a four minute span (some say its five, but four is the more common figure), you will be 'polarized' and prohibited from making that second jump. If you aren't in the middle of a fight, just take a few deep breaths and try again in a few minutes. If you get this when fighting on a wormhole though, the polarity timer in W-space combat serves the function that gate and station aggression (weapon) timers do in known-space PvP. In other words, you're likely screwed unless you can shake your tacklers and warp off.
Q: What, did someone just launch a bomb at me? / Q: What is this, a bubble?!! In my site/on my static? A: Wormholes are just as 'nullsec-y' as null security known space, so bombs and all types of bubbles are fair game. The only things you can't do in one are jump ships through that exceed wormhole mass limits (although you can build larger ships inside the wormhole), jump clone into/out of one, use a capital's jump drive to move between systems, or claim sovereignty (CONCORD Says No!). |

New question on post 3, some clarifications on old questions, and a reminder to all of those new to wormhole space that if you reply to this post with a question, I will answer it and possibly include that question in the FAQ!
Veterans, if you think of an appropriate question for the FAQ, post the Q&A, and I'll consider putting it in the FAQ.

Q: What the **** is Anoikis? A: Apparently we the capsuleers call the w-space constellations Anoikis?! https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Anoikis
Q: Is that a made up name or is it a reference? A: "Anoikis is a form of programmed cell death which is induced by anchorage-dependent cells detaching from the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM).[1] Usually cells stay close to the tissue to which they belong since the communication between proximal cells as well as between cells and ECM provide essential signals for growth or survival. When cells are detached from the ECM, i.e. there is a loss of normal cellGÇômatrix interactions, they may undergo anoikis. However, metastatic tumor cells may escape from anoikis and invade other organs."
Read into that what you will. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anoikis
Q: This tickles my fan fiction funny bone. Anything on the interwebs to itch that scratch? A: Yep, there sure is. It's a pretty good one too. https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Anoikis_(Chronicle) |

The need for "www" has nothing to do with the browser. It entirely depends on how the webserver is configured. "www.example.com" and "example.com" are not equivalent addresses as standard. However, many servers define DNS entries for both and then use a re-direct to send a browser to whichever one the site designer wants you to use.
