Update the Guide as it has no reference on the production of wormholes.


Also it'll be nice to see the strength (Power) of a black hole.

And another I just recently created a wormhole in TG, only one end of it is showing, why is that?

Good point this would be good to add, although the WH creation screen has most the information you need to know

Do you mean be able to click on a BH to view its information? Could also have info on who created it and its age etc.

Worm holes have an entrance and exit point, only the entrance is visible and they can only be used one way, when ships enter the WH they will go to the exit point but cant get back through the WH, if you want this you must create another WH going back, just dont create them in the exact same place because you will probably be traped inside the 2 WH going back and forward forever

The one-way thing and that only the entrance is seen I didnt' know, maybe because I haven't played in a while.

Something like that would be nice. Similiar like when you click on a fleet or merc base.

Also are wormholes pernament, with so the black hole that i created just disappeared....

if they're not, how are you able to find out how long the wormhole will last.

I dont know about worm holes, you can add extra energy for stability or something, so probably if you dont use enough they may dissapear, I cant remember this happening though.

BH dont disappear, but they can combine with others to make an even more powerfull BH, it is part of the chain reaction where anything nearby is sucked in

sorry meant wormhole, it lasted only for a day or so before it disappeared. it cost 16mil energy to create and i used another 20mil to stabilize it.

I guess that worm holes are not permanant then, you probably have to use tons of energy (100 million+) to make them last longer, as krong this ammount of energy probably wont be too hard to get

Ok, we know from the guide that BH have power between 1 and 10, also that the bigger and brighter a star is the more powerfull BH it will make.

From what I can tell from making BH in the galaxy DWARF, Class:[F] stars (least powerful it is possible to colapse) will only cause chain reaction with stars directly next to themselves. This probably means the BH has a power of 1. I expect that the BH power effects how far its influence goes, a power 10 BH may effect anything within 10 quadrants of itself. SUPER GIGANT, Class [O] stars will probably have 10 power, every other star will create BH with power somwhere between.

Right
Players can not generate stable wormholes - they will be active a little time, inactive for some turns and again active.

What power BH do stars of each class and size make?

It depends from star class and size. Also, if 2 BHs join together they will produce more powerful BH. I answered already on this question with formula If you are interesting in details - I`ll search and post formula here.

That would be quite useful, this way we can workout what chain reactions will happen and plan the best locations to make BH
