I just recently moved into a wormhole myself and was wondering if you could explain this statement a bit more:<br><br>"Just seeing an inbound wormhole in the first place would have told me something was up — you don’t get inbounds unless someone opened it from the other side."<br><br>The inbounds are K162's, correct? when you say that someone had to open it from the otherside, does that mean that the outbound in another system can exist but the inbound does not show up until someone jumps through? Or is it something else entirely? Sorry for the noobish question, but while a veteran to a lot of eve, I'm still new to a lot of this wh stuff.

No one in that system knows it's there and at this point, only the ORIGIN side of the wormhole actually exists (meaning it can only be located by a scanner in the origin system).<br><br>Situation 2. A wormhole in some system exists, and someone has scanned it, but they haven't actually warped on-grid with it. All that is known about the wormhole at that point is that it's there. As in situation #1, only the ENTRANCE side of the wormhole exists.<br><br>Situation 3. The wormhole exists, has been scanned, and someone has warped close enough to it that it's on their overview grid. Doesn't matter how close. At this point, the wormhole entrance AND the wormhole exit (the k162) now exist; someone in the 'exit' system could scan with probes, and they would see the wormhole signature of the k162, where in situations 1 and 2, they wouldn't.<br><br>Situation 4. The wormhole exists, has been scanned, has been warped to, and has been jumped through. Situation is exactly the same as #3, pretty much.<br><br>(My personal theory is that not only does the k162 not exist until someone goes on-grid with the entrance-point, I don't think the exit point location is even so much as randomly determined UNTIL someone goes on-grid with the entrance-point wormhole and 'activates' it. My reasoning for this is simply that it would make maintaining the EVE backend easier, because you never have to record the 'potential' exit location of any wormholes that no one visits, which saves time, effort, processing, and database space.)<br><br>Anyway, the upshot of all this: if there's a K162 in your system, SOMEONE created it. At the very least, they got close to the other side of the WH to check it out, and far more likely they came through to check YOU out.doycethttp://doycetesterman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641942380907873549.post-88478223322940208242011-09-12T13:04:30.000-07:002011-09-12T13:04:30.000-07:00Thanks!
