Wormholes  

Wormholes were introduced into EVE Online with the release of the Apocrypha expansion.

The only way to find a wormhole is to probe it out.

Classification of Wormholes

There are 9 classification of wormholes, ranging from straight forward Known Space routes (K-Space) which links empire, low sec and null sec regions, to the new Wormhole regions known as W-Space.

Classes 1 through 6 are wormholes that enter W-space.
There are 3 descriptions used for each pairing when selecting show info menu option.

Classifications of Wormholes

Class 1, 2 and 3	This wormhole seems to lead into unknown parts of space.
Class 4 and 5	This wormhole seems to lead into dangerous unknown parts of space.
Class 6	This wormhole seems to lead into deadly unknown parts of space.
Class 7, 8 and 9	Empire, Lowsec and null sec wormholes

Designations

Each wormhole has a letter and 3 numerals following. This indicates what the classification. The letter portion indicates its rank within the classification.

SPECIAL DESIGNATION

WORMHOLE K162	This is the exit point of a wormhole that has been entered.

Life Times

Wormholes have varying and vague lifetime cycles. The description indicates if it has been activated yet or if its coming to the end of its cycle.

This wormhole has not yet begun its natural cycle of decay and should last at least another day. (72 hours)
This wormhole is beginning to decay, and probably won't last another day. (16 to 48 hours).
This wormhole is coming to the end of its natural life cycle. (4 hours)

Be warned There is no imminent warning of a collapse.

Mass, Size and Allowances

Each wormhole will only allow so much Mass passed through before it will collapse regardless of its lifetime. There is also size limitations. Carriers can enter wormholes, but only if size permits it. Battleships sometimes cannot enter empire wormholes even.

Each ship passing through a WH subtracts mass allowance from the wormhole. The larger the mass obviously drops it quickly.. offlining heavy modules like 1600mm plates can ensure a little more mass can make it through.

Descriptions are:
This wormhole has not yet had its stability significantly disrupted by ships passing through it.
Some ships have passed through this wormhole, but not effected the stability.
Some ships have passed through the wormhole, but not to a critical point
This wormhole has had its stability critically disrupted by the mass of numerous ships passing through and is on the verge of collapse.

WORMHOLE K162	This is the exit point of a wormhole that has been entered.

Distortion and time wash

Should a large number of ships enter a wormhole simultaneously it is possible to distort the wormhole enough to refuse more ships for up to 5 minutes. Rapidly jumping back and forth will also trigger this effect. Also note that wormholes are not Warp Gates and do not have aggression timers associated with them.

Local Phenomena's

Some wormholes have strange effects on your ships you may see the message
Local spatial phenomena may cause strange effects on your ship systems.
There are many types of phenomena denoted by the graphics in the system.

W-SPACE exploration sites

Like in K-Space there are gravametric, magnetic, ladar and radar sites

Gravametric Sites

Mining - Ore

Really these are same as empire, some rare arkonor, bistot and crokite fields and the rats are sleepers which can be shot looted and salvaged.

Ladar Sites

Gas Cloud Harvesting - Fullerites

Fullerites are used to create polymers at a 'POS' in either lowsec or nullsec There are 9 types of Fullerites can be mined in W-Space. These are:

FULLERITES

Type	volume	1st	2nd	3rd
Type A	1 m3	C-50	C-60	C-70
Type B	2 m3	C-28	C-72	C-84
Type C	5 m3	C-32	C-320
Type D	10 m3	C-540

todo: UPDATE ALL SITES due to new patch

general ladar information Survey Scanners work on gas clouds and return the amount of units left.
Some Sleepers are tankable. Use cheap drones as "chaff" if you are scrammed and need to warp out, frigates especially like shooting drones :)
Mining with 4 T1 harvesters yields 96m^3/minute.
Mining with 5 T2 harvesters yields 187,5m^3/minute.
A good and cheap mining ship is Moa. Fit 2 expanded cargohold T2, 2 warp core stabilizers, 5 T2 Harversters, a Survey scanner and Large F-S9 regolith shield induction.
Ladar Sites on first entry do not appear to spawn Sleepers, however rewarping does appear to do this. Not sure if mining on a first visit triggers it yet.
Other reports state that the sleeper rats spawn after 15 minutes from first warp-in-without-cloak. Not sure about that one either.

Magnetic Sites

Salvage and Archeology - Ancient Relics

There are 3 quality levels of relics with 6 sections that can be found, using Reverse Engineering skill on these relics will effect the quality (Material Efficency) and number of runs should they be RE'd successfully.

RELICS

Quality	BPC Runs	HULL	Armor	Shield	Grid	Weapons	Engines
Wrecked	1	hull section	armor nanobot	Electromechanical Component	Power Cores	Weapon Subroutines	Thruster Sections
Malfunctioning	2	hull section	armor nanobot	Electromechanical Component	Power Cores	Weapon Subroutines	Thruster Sections
Intact	3	hull section	armor nanobot	Electromechanical Component	Power Cores	Weapon Subroutines	Thruster Sections

Radar Sites

Hacking - Decrypters Datacores R.A.M.'s

Radar sites drop needed components for reverse engineering, these include the datacores (similar to invention) Hybrid technology to select the race, and RAMs normally used in t2 manufacturing (these are t3 variants)
