So while looking for a shortcut from my 0.0 home to empire I came across an untouched c6 wormhole with a billion sigs in it.
What I'm wondering is a two part question. 1) would it be possible to sell the information 2) would it be a very lucrative solo project? Got a couple of bil isk I've been thinking about investing in something, didn't think about wormholes earlier but this got me thinking.

Two factors that will define the value of that system much more than what's currently there:
1) The "static" exit wormhole, as in the one wormhole type that always exists in that system and where it goes. 2) The local system anomaly (if any) in the C6.

edit: what kindof isk would the information be worth in the best case scenario? (good anomalies and permanent highsec exit I supose).

Edited by: Saraphos on 05/03/2010 18:40:11 1)I doubt its a static high sec exit, Wh space is set up into constelations/regions just like normal space, random exits fluctuate through out a given region popping up in system until it collapses, then it respawns somewhere else. I've only ever heard of one c5 having a static high sec, never heard of a c6 having one.
2)If that is truly a c6 with a static high sec, a more adventurous corp would pay pretty handsomely for it. The biggest problem is that while it will be easier moving equipment/resources in and out, a static high exit also brings in a ton more risk.
Unless you have a decent sized corp to back you up, setting up shop solo in a c6 is not advisable, 2-3 alts can usually clear out the ladar/grav site rat spawns, but you will not be able to run the combat sites.
If you want a solo WH experience, look into a c3 if you have a pimped out T3 to bring in or a c4 if you have a couple buddies to back you up

Edited by: Boltorano on 05/03/2010 19:28:19 By local anomaly I meant the stellar anomaly if there is one: Gas Giant, Pulsar, Magnetar, Black Hole, Wolf Rayet, or Cataclysmic Variable.
Edit:
Additionally, a truly serious w-space operation would probably more rather have a static C6/C5/C4 w-space exit than a highsec one, if they are running C6 sites regularly they are going to run out of things to do fairly quickly once they overtake the local respawn rate for anoms/sites.

Originally by: Boltorano 1) The "static" exit wormhole, as in the one wormhole type that always exists in that system and where it goes.
All w-space systems have at least one outgoing wormhole BUT not all w-spacee systems have any static outgoing wormholes!
Having even one static outgoing wormhole is uncommon. Having two is rare. I'm not aware of systems with more two.
If it doesn't have any statics, you really won't be able to sell it.

ok thanks for very high quality responses, don't think I've seen a thread this long without a single stupid response.
So a followup question plus reiterating something I dont feel have been answered yet.
1) How do I know which ones are static? Stay in it for a week and see if one of the exits allways leads to the same type (c1-c6/lowsec/highsec)
2) Total worth, are we talking 200mil or 2bil or more? Time is money and all that.
Thanks again for great feedback.

1) Anything is negotiable. There is time-sensitivity obviously with the ephemeral nature of your entry/exit wormholes.
2) It will, for sure, be lucrative. However I believe CCP designed C6 Wspaces to be collaborative efforts, so to do it 'solo' you would need an army of multiple-boxing spider-tanking alts to clear out the sites.
Also, once you scan out the sites, don't warp to all of them if you don't intend to clear them right away.
From what I've read, scanning out a sig does not start the despawn countdown (~ 3 days), but warping to (or warp-cancel) to a sig will.

Yes.
Quote: 2) Total worth, are we talking 200mil or 2bil or more? Time is money and all that.
W-space systems are on their own not valuable. It depends on what class the system is and what class the statics are.
You might only get 10m to 100m for a C1 with a static to hisec, and a C3/C4/C5/C6 with a static to lowsec or nulsec is probably worth about the same. Add in a second static to another w-space system, and that suddenly boosts the value of all of those.
C2/C3 -> hisec are probably the easiest to sell, as demand is high. C2/C3 -> C3/C4 are probably the next most popular. By the time you hit C5/C6, popularity is very low as they require capitals, but then the consumers are large corporations with deeper pockets.
When in doubt of value, auction
