EVE Online Wormhole Fundamentals - W-Space Connectivity (Ep. 7)

In game: Asayanami Dei Chat Channel: Adhocracy Public Each w-space system has at least one static wormhole, and class 2 w-space systems have two. The type of static is limited by the class of wormhole in which the static is found. Classes 1, 2, and 3 will always have a static that leads somewhere in known-space. These can be either highsec, lowsec, or nullsec statics. Class 2 wormholes have a second static that will lead to another wormhole system of any class. The higher class wormholes, classes 4, 5, and 6, all have one static that leads to another wormhole-space system. Class 5 wormholes are statistically more likley to have class 5 statics, with the second most popular being class 6, and class 6 wormholes are statistically most likely to have class 5 and 6 statics. Class 4 wormholes are equally likely to link to a class 1,2 or 3 wormhole as a class 4,5, or 6 wormhole. This leads to a "class 5 superhighway" that gets formed because of the large interconnection between class 5&and themselves, with the occasional class 6 mixed in. To escape from "deep" w-space, one would typically scan down the static chain. It is possible to find yourself in a "static loop" with no connection to k-space in a higher class-wormhole. However, most times a wormhole will be found that is of lower class, and scanning can continue from there. When a class 4 system is found, there is a 50% chance it will have a static to a lower-class wormhole. When a class 3 or lower system is found, a...
