I’m exploring for the first time. I’m practicing scanning down anomalies today. I’ve found two wormholes so far. I entered the first one and exited immediately. It quickly began to collapse and was gone. I got a screenshot of the other side of the second one.
Pardon my offline weapons. This is my first Energy Weapon ship. Those skills are in training as we speak.
Lucky you. I had almost two consecutive hours to play for a change and found exactly 0 gas anoms in my shiny Pioneer. Did they move all the gas to WH?
When you land on grid with a wormhole, right-click and show info. It’ll tell you how much time and mass are remaining.
After finding these two, I loaded up a guide. That was the first thing the guide said. Thanks!
They’re probably getting mined as fast as they’re spawning right now, and likely will be through the weekend.
Use the new 2d map to find dead-end systems and pockets, that’s where the sites are packing up at times like this. Anything with multiple gates is probably on someone’s autopilot route and thus going to be seen quickly.
Hijacking Glenduil’s thread here, but I will say these were consecutive empty lowsec systems. Will get back to it eventually.
You’re beginning a wonderful and brightly colored journey.
So as I understand it, wormhole space is just a series of systems that are only accessible by wormholes. Until now, I’d always thought that it was actually inside a wormhole.
So how many of these systems are there? And what happens if, for example, you set up shop in system J122712 and get locked out of it because the hole closes? How hard would it be to find that particular one again? Assuming you don’t have a corp mate or alt still in that system to scan doors and find out where they lead…

Very difficult to find that one again. I think the odds are higher of winning the Lottery twice, with the same numbers.
Needle in a field full of haystacks, but yeah.
Better to keep an alt safe logged in the wormhole. It doesn’t need good skills, a cloak, or even Omega. A T1 probing frigate with basic probes will get you back into the majority of wormholes, and the ones it won’t get you into are really hard to solo anyway.
Hell yeah! Gz 
It’s a C1 wormhole with a highsec static, so it’s always going to have an exit to a HS system, though if I recall correctly, there is a delay before a static opens to the other side without someone warping to it first.
Definitely not lottery odds by any stretch of the imagination, but I wouldn’t want to have to do it, either.
The lottery odds are finding which HS system the static opens in, something that is refreshed periodically.
People do win the lottery all the time.
There are only around 1190 HS systems - these odds are more ‘annoying’ than ‘astronomical’.
If no one uses it, you have about 3 days then to scan down and go through every wormhole in 1190 systems looking for it, before you have to start all over again because it moved.
If you only tried 25 systems per period (which would be very slow), there’s about a 50/50 chance you’d have found it within 30 or so periods. The numbers just aren’t that bad.
or toss an alt in there with minimal probing skills and a 2m isk T1 probing frigate
Oh, sure, absolutely - I’m not arguing with that. Just saying that finding a given wormhole again isn’t really outlandishly poor odds.
