We are 100% sure on the +10% h296 and N432 as we very regularly (sometimes 4-11 times a nite) use a collapse plan that goes to +10% whereas a different plan of up to +5% never worked properly

First of all we use EVEHQ Void plug-in for wormhole mass / time calculations. It’s the most up-to-date database for wormhole masses that I am aware of.

Now, these suggestions for mass are based on the database that CCP publishes and it’s somehow reverse-engineered from that datadumb (not sure exactly how) but needless to say it’s not 100% accurate.

We indeed have noticed some inconsistencies close to 5-10% on mass but nothing that we can be 100% sure of in any case.

Regarding the “dead wormhole” concept. I’ve said it and will say it again. Wormholes will keep respawning their sites in a random order and no POS active or Player-driven activity will affect that random rate.

Our observations after living in the same wormhole for months has proven that theory. You might get lucky for a period of time or not. If you live in the same wspace system for long you will get to see both massive spawn rates and weeks without any spawns.

I think some mass allowances are inaccurate or rather…slightly variable as well. Our experience suggests what you describe, Beast.

Indeed true the ‘dead wormhole’ title implies nothing but there is always something, we do indeed get 2-3 sites a week but nothing compared to how it was a t first.
A month would be a fair length of time to leave though.
Another topic for your Knowledgebase, wormhole mass allowances are wrong, maybe not all are but H296 and N432 are definitely running with a 10% difference to the supposed 3B they are supposed to be.

@ Helicity : Hey keep those Hulks burning! :-p We are not actively participating in the Hulkageddon II but we will be talking about it on our next show!

@ iambeastx:

We where off for about a month – but we did log daily to check up on things – just didn’t run any sites.

I don’t believe in the theory of “dead wormhole systems”. I’ve seen systems being farmed day and night and still spawn 2-3 PVE sites every day. I’ve seen nothing spawning for weeks – or rather 1 site per week.

IMHO the whole spawning mechanism for sites and anomalies is completely random, and only the static wormhole(s) theory is proven.

Hey!
Question for you, how long where you gone from your wormhole?
I’m interested to see how long it took for a dead wormhole system to regenerate spawns
