Just because your static is controlled and shut doesn't mean you are safe. If someone wants into your wormhole, they will find a way, either via a logged off scanner alt or just cycling their hole until they reach yours. |

Tell you what, if you think you're safe, find me an entrance and I'll check your system for you free of charge. Just to make sure the defenses are up to par. |

Ive always wondered what it would be like to be that naive. |

Tierius Fro wrote:Back to topic ... let me get this straight. You are saying if a w-system has exits that can only be opened from the w-system side then if you never open them you are safe? This logic is flawed, because that means there are wormholes into your w-system that only open from the other side, beyond your control, and that makes it less safe.
I routinely scan for wormholes because I want to where they are and where they lead, so I better understand the risks.

Oh yay, someone gets it! Awesome! |

They usually come at night.

Allow me a minute to do a basic breakdown of hole classifications.
All holes begin somewhere and pop out at another. Let's say you've warped to a hole in high sec and it reads "Wormhole R943". You do a quick info check on it and it tells you that this wormhole has about a day left and has not been destabilized. The numbers tell you that this is where the hole's beginning was. Without even jumping in, the hole on the other side will be a k162. K162 is the classification given to all wormhole ends. This is where having a basic knowledge of wormhole space comes in handy. A k162 from hi, low and null does not need to be warped to for it to spawn into a wormhole. However, a wormhole in wormhole space does need to be warped to for it to form a connection to another system.
This is why you have to check every new signature that your prober catches on scan. The likelihood of a new signature being a k162 is fairly high, although it doesn't have to be a k162. It could just be a periodic hole leading out to a different system. Hence why checking the classification on the hole is important.
I trust this will help enlighten people that aren't sure on how connections work. |

Do I understand it correctly? A K162 is the arse end of another wormhole, every other type (whatever the code) spawns a K162 at its destination. EG: Your C2 - C4 should be a y683 in your system but on the C4 side it will be a k162. Because the back end is allways a k162 While a C4 - C2 will be an N766 hole in the C4 but in your C2 it will be a K162 because now your system is the rear end. You could go through every system and count up how many statics open to how many destinations (not counting the random spawns) and work out the likelyhood of chains (c4+ tend to come down through C3- to reach empire, so your more likely to get traffic) to come up with a number of possible incoming holes. Or, just assume K162's will be opening at random and deal with them when they arrive. That's what I said, K162's are the exits of wormholes, hence theyre called generic exits, they are the outbound side of a spawned wormhole. I seem to find more OUTGOING (non K162's from inside the W-space system) than INCOMING (k162 inside my w-system from outside). Just wondering if that was the way it was in most cases.
Sometimes systems can get a decent number of incoming k162s and others it can get a large number of periodics. The most I've seen in a day is 7, but it might be possible for more to exist. I imagine its how holes are coded. |
