ali-t-akua Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 I got an odd result last turn and I was wondering if I might have gone through a one way warp. One of my ships went through a warp but when it surveyed the warp it was at, the result was a different system name than expected. Could someone who has had this happen let me know what result I should expect. Mahalo. Quote
Clan Elder 'Keen Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Sounds like a one-way. You are in System A. You survey the warp and jump through to System B. The next turn you do a SS and SURV and instead of seeing the warp going to System A, it goes to System C. Quote
Mu-Rho-Mu Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Those one-way can turn out to be pretty nasty. I've already found 3 that warp back to my core systems from another empires section of space. Its not been bad for trade but I have this horrible fear that there is a one-way to my HW and until the 3 million ton ships shows up I'll never know about it. Quote
Damiano Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 In our War against the Bugs we learned that any system potentially can have a one-way system leading into it. Do what we did and protect every warp point as a potential end point for a one way unless you already known where there is a one way and where it comes from. Quote
Hughestrog Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Its not been bad for trade but I have this horrible fear that there is a one-way to my HW. I have a one way leading into my HW. Not really a comforting thought. Quote
Mu-Rho-Mu Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 ouch thats has to hurt..do you have only 1 wp in your home system? Pete hinted that he tried to avoid giving people systems like that for that very reason. Of course they are super easy to defend. Quote
Palladium Regency Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Per Pete, all warp points are one way. The destination warp point just has a high probability of being a warp back. Quote
athonian Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 so theoretically you can jump back and forth trying to get back into your homesystem? or will you go back into a totaly different one? like pathfinder jumps from sys A to sys B. tries to go to A but ends up in C. if he goes back through the same WP will he be in B or a D?

I think that can happen, but it's been very rare so far Quote
ShadowKitsune Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 On the bright side, I have yet to find a system that doesn't have at least one way out. However, I have found warp paths that require 2 jumps to get into a system and 5 to get back. -SK Quote

Athonian I am not sure what you are asking. I assume that all warp ponts are deterministic in their endpoint. If you jump from A to B, you will go there every time. By one way I think most mean that you cannot do the reverse. I have not heard anybody say there are statistical chances for which system your ship ends up in. That would really screw things up if you were trying to invade through a one way and your fleets kept ending up in random systems. WOuld make it easy to defend though. Quote

May have something to do with warp point class as well. Quote

However if I remember correctly those who have experienced this used the warp before and suffered no ill effects so there was also speculation that the ship configuration may have been part of the reason why it happened.

Hughestrog Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 Both those points are true. Quote
