Almost never bookmark from the probe scanner results
When you bookmark a wormhole from the probe scanner results, you will land 5-10km off the wormhole where the signature is located. Ideally you want to land at zero on the wormhole when you warp to it from your bookmarks, to accomplish this you want to bookmark the wormhole from your overview. So first warp to the scan result, then bookmark the wormhole from your overview.
However a fresh wormhole will only open its exit once it has been warped to. So the exception to this rule is that if you are living in a wormhole system and you are rolling wormholes (collapsing them through reaching the mass limit by jumping multiple heavy ships through them), then you can bookmark the new wormholes from your probe scanner results. By not warping to the bookmarks the fresh wormholes will remain closed until someone scans them down and warps to them.
Try to identify the wormhole class by the information provided
Before bookmarking the wormhole it is important to identify the wormhole class as accurately as possible. Here I will cover some basics of what can be commonly found in highsec.
The most common wormholes found in highsec are low class wormholes: class 1 (C1), class 2 (C2) and class 3 (C3). Then there are also wormholes that directly connect different highsec, lowsec and nullsec systems. More rare wormholes are C5 and C6 connections. C4 wormholes never spawn direct connections to k-space (highsec, lowsec and nullsec), you always have to go through other wormhole systems to get to highsec from a C4.
It is possible to correctly identify most wormholes based on the wormhole type on your overview, the information in the show info window and also the wormhole graphics. The most common wormhole type found anywhere is K162, which simply means that the wormhole was opened from the other side. Thus K162 wormholes can lead anywhere and the wormhole type is not enough information to identify its class.
You can easily identify a C1 wormhole by right clicking on the wormhole from your overview, select show info and then look at the ship restrictions in the bottom. If it says up to medium ships can pass through this wormhole, it's a C1 wormhole. In k-space the wormhole type for C1 wormholes opened from the k-space side is Z971 which will appear on your overview and enables even faster recognition of the wormhole class.
C2 and C3 wormholes both allow larger ships to pass through them and they both lead to unknown space. But a C3 wormhole has unique graphics that are more easily identifiable:
 |
| Class 3 wormhole graphics |
So if the wormhole allows larger ships to pass through them, leads to unknown space and doesn't have the above graphics, then it is most likely a C2 wormhole. C2 wormholes spawned from k-space also have the type R943 on the overview.
C3 wormholes have the above unique graphics and then possibly also the wormhole type X702 if they are spawned from k-space. So they are usually easy to identify based on this information.
C5 wormholes say in the show info window that they lead to dangerous unknown space but also have unique graphics and possibly the wormhole type M555 if they have spawned from k-space. C4 wormholes also have the dangerous unknown space message in the show info window, but as I previously mentioned they don't spawn in k-space. So all dangerous unknown space wormholes from k-space will lead to C5 wormhole systems.
C6 wormholes say in the show info message that they lead to deadly unknown space, and no other wormhole class has this message so it is easy to identify.
This is just the tip of the ice berg when exploring in wormhole space and there are many different wormhole types depending on their origin and destination. You can find out more about them on this Wormhole Attributes wiki page or simply googling "eve wormhole <insert wormhole type>".
Bookmarking the wormholes with the correct format
Corporations and alliances have their own bookmarking standards, and it's hard to say which method is the best. But in Voyager Syndicate we have the following method.
Format:
<first three letters of the signature> <wormhole destination> <wormhole type>
Examples:
ABC C3 X702 (this wormhole leads to a C3 wormhole system spawned in highsec)
XYZ HS K162 (this wormhole leads to a highsec system spawned on the other side)
If the wormhole destination is unknown, right click the wormhole from your overview, select show info and check if it leads to unknown space (US) or dangerous unknown space (DS). Deadly unknown space is always a C6, so there should be no confusion there.
Examples:
SIG US K162 (this could be a C1, C2 or C3 wormhole system spawned on the other side)
QWE DS K162 (this could be a C4 or C5 wormhole system spawned on the other side)
If you are a member of Voyager Syndicate and scan wormholes near our k-space bases, please report the wormholes in our #sigint signature intel channel on Discord. The format is the following:
Format:
<k-space system> <first three letters of the signature> <wormhole destination> <wormhole type>
Example:
Arnon SIG C1 Z971
Remember to organize your bookmarks and put the wormhole bookmarks in their own folder!
Also remember to set wormhole bookmarks to expire within 2 days as wormholes only last 16-24 hours. This helps keep the bookmark folders clean from outdated bookmarks.
When jumping through a wormhole, remember to always bookmark the other side so that you don't have to scan it down all over again!
If traveling from k-space to wormhole space, in Voyager Syndicate we generally bookmark the other side with the name of the k-space system we jumped in from. So if you were in the system of Arnon and scanned down a wormhole you'd name the bookmark on the other side of the wormhole "Arnon". You can update it later with part of the signature ID, for example "SIG Arnon" so that you know which signature it is from the probe scanner.
If you go from Arnon into a wormhole, and then probe down another wormhole and go into that one, then name the bookmark on the other side "Arnon +1" and later "SIG Arnon +1" if you scan down its signature, to identify where you are in the chain of wormholes.
That's it for now, this article will get updated as needed, but hopefully this will get you started on your adventures in wormhole space!
