I know WH questions have been beat to death recently, so thanks in advance for your help.
Anyway, as title says How exactly do you know if your wormhole has a static?
If your inside WH "X" and have an entrance to WH "Y" that has a name on your side like the N or C number, NOT a K162, does that mean that WH class is static to yours?
Or is is the opposite?
Thanks guys

It's kind a simple : static wormhole always have the same signature index on the list of cosmic signatures. For egz. if you have wormhole going to another w-space pocket and is named XXX-123(as example), you manage to close it, and then again you scan it up and it has the same index XXX-123 - it's static. As far as I'm concerned there is no other way to proof it's static.
K162 - it's means that someone's scaned and visited your space through the wormhole. All ends of any wormhole lanes are ended with K162 mark (if it was used at least once).

Wrong.

Half wrong. The generic exit designation for all wormholes is K162, but it matters not if the wormhole was actually "used" or not, only that it was warped to.

Wrong.
Indeed, however, the wormhole designation - eg N345 is always the same, although the scan signature ID is changed everytime the wormhole is closed, or downtime occurs.

Actually, he's correct. The K162 end of a wormhole is not created until the first ship passes through it. Until this point, the specific destination system is not determined

This is pure theory actually. There has yet to be conclusive evidence that this is the point when the K162 side is created. Quite a few threads have discussed other possibilities (scanning the signature to 100%, initiating warp, landing on grid with the wh).
Not trying to stir the pot here, as this has been discussed rather in depth in quite a few other threads, merely pointing out that what you have stated is theory, not fact.

Indeed. It would be nice if CCP would let us know the actual mechanics.

It does.
Every wormhole system has at least 1 static exit. So if at any time there is only 1 outgoing (eg NOT K162) wormhole, it is your static.

Other than scanning a system over a period of days to recognize the pattern of wormholes, there is no other way to prove a static.
For a quick reference that may be completely wrong, try this site.

This is, in fact, the only way to prove it conclusively. There is a fair bit of conventional wisdom that has built up over the last 18 months about the way wormholes work.
Without definitive information from CCP you pretty much have to sift through the theories for yourself and decide which one matches the best with what you see in-game. Veteran w-space residents seem to have the best handle on what's going on. Google is your friend here. |

You can also use www.staticmapper.com within the in-game browser. It will tell you what statics each system has. i have checked hundreds of WH's and it hasn't been wrong yet :)
