As far as we can tell, there's no guarantees about where the wormhole will open up again. Originally the wormholes would move from constellation to constellation with in a region and occasionally jumping elsewhere. This was soon fixed and they can and do open up across the galaxy. Most wormholes have what could best be described as a usual exit. This will be an exit that goes to the same type of space each time. Most class 1 and 2 wormholes will have exit that spawn to another high security system when the first one collapses. This is often referred to as a static wormhole that will always be present in the wormhole system. Additional wormholes may also spawn, leading to other high, low and null-sec systems as well as into other wormhole systems. There are several sites out there that will give you the type of system from the wormhole ID. Additionally, even though you can go both directions through a wormhole, each wormhole actually has a beginning and an end. The end will always be ID'd as K162 while the other will have one of several unique IDs that denotes the size, destination and mass-limit of the wormhole.

My major bug-bear with the wormholes is the exit holes and how often they spawn.

“touch wood” – I’ve not gotten stuck in a wh yet (my corp is verrrry small and not up to setting up a base there so a couple of us visit occasionally when one appears… this is normally gas or roid mining but occasionally we will tackle a hacking site. My main fear is getting stuck in a hole for days on end with the only exits for far off regions.

If I enter a class 2 w/h from Tash will another exit spawn to the same region the next day? I dont want to take an Orca in and get it stuck there for weeks on end!

So far it has been worth it. Time will tell if it continues to be worth it, or how well it scales up. When we are in and settled, we can easily earn 50-80m per person per hour w/ anywhere from 3-7 ship teams. The major set back was the loss of several ships through a corporate theft. The loss affected our ability to run the logistics far more than the cost of the ships, but we had just made a major investment in new equipment so opted to push on versus liquidate the new venture and ‘sit tight’ for a while.

We’ve learned that 4-5 wormholes is too deep for our corporation and we’ve rectified that. The pilots are still charged and as excited about being out in the wormholes as you could possibly imagine. They are still learning the difference between either their former PvP or PvE interactions and the way that Sleepers act. While I think CCP is headed in the right direction with the Sleeper AI, it is still not PvP and a ship fit for PvP isn’t always the best bet. By the same token, it is also not PvE and it will grind up and spit out pilots who are looking for more mission running yummies.

I sometimes wonder if wormholes are worth all the trouble. All the logistics that are required seem a bit inordinate just for exploring.
