| TU 300: Enter Wormhole {0} Entering Wormhole (xxxx) to Sargasso (51) Ship lost 124% integrity due to manoeuvre |
My ship wasn't in the highest integrity to begin with, but losing 124% seems a bit much?
The Sargasso Wormhole = Giant Trash Compactor? Maybe...
I've gone though it before with no integrity loss but this time my ship was reduced to debris, most annoying.
I was wondering if it's normal to occasionally take damage from a wormhole jump like this?

There is a certain device you are probably missing to use that wormhole
Does the wormhole stabiliser prevent damage, or does it simply allow you to enter the very unstable Sargasso wormhole?
And as you say 124% is a little high.

Integrity losses from "dangerous" manoeuvres is multiplied by the hull type modifier - so if the ship that decided to come through in pieces was an Xlight, you would have got 15.5% integrity loss in a heavy hulled ship....
As for the effects of wormhole stabilisers, I don't think the RIP would appreciate me expanding on what they do, beyond the fact that they stabilise wormholes for a ship

Dan i'm in RIP

| does that then mean normal wormholes could do the same damage, like the one between crossley and london? |
no idea, i assumed the stabilser would let me treat it as a normal wormhole, as it always has done in the past, I can only assume this damage is possible on stable wormholes as well.

Was a standard 75LH ship, which would make 31% damage for HH, still kinda much i think. But if this is a known risk then I guess I was just unlucky.
But ermm how are you ment to jump any ship through a wormhole if you can take damage this high, makes the whole process kind of risky.

I would suspect wormholes are like asteroids, in that different ones have a different damage level (and a different % chance of taking that damage).

I know - but I doubt the RIP as a whole really want the details of one of "your" technologies presented to the public eye

All wormholes have a different level of instability - both chance and magnitude I think. Some are particularly nasty (Sargasso's not the only one...)

It should perhaps be pointed out that the Crossley wormhole is by some way the most stable wormhole known, and yes, it will occasionally do small amounts of damage to vessels passing through it.
