I did not fly to the grid and had them last almost 3 days till a K162 appeared in system and I assume he flew to the grid. Unfortunetly with the need to find paths in and the number of inbound holes we have seen in last few weeks I have not been able to replicate the experience.<br /><br />As for safety, I think one the major keys is to keep the K162's from spawning from your static wormholes. I have heard that flying to the static wormhole's grid opens the K162, and I have heard you have to fly through the hole to spawn the K162. So I would rather be on the safe side and not fly to the grid.<br /><br />Overall I prefer to be as closed in as possible, and that means "controlling" the static wormholes and not allowing two openings to get in the wormhole that are under our direct control.<br /><br />Fly Safe,<br />MickMick Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753804064625354757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053099692120721164.post-69149744666987513612010-01-07T22:17:49.195-05:002010-01-07T22:17:49.195-05:00Usually we don't bother.

We keep an eye on directional, and if the connecting system has a POS and we expect company (rather than being on the offensive which would be what we do in most cases) and we don't want to be bothered we bubble it and keep a cloaked ship there to see if anyone jumps through.<br /><br />On some occasions though I've put some SBs inside a near critical wormhole and even managed to net some nice kills off folks who thought they where safe. So it's better to completely collapse them if you expect company. But you can't stay hidden forever though. <br /><br />And also I believe that wormholes do not work as the rest of the signatures in wspace when it comes to being spawned only if you warp to them. In fact, I believe it doesn't even matter if you scan them down or not. They just spawn on their schedule and despawn as needed. <br /><br />What might be happening is that the K162 is not spawned until you warp to it. Now that might be the case, and the verdict is still out there.. lots of different opinions on the subject.Quivering Palmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368357826381675825noreply@blogger.com
