Wormholes

from Sins Forums

How do I move a fleet through a wormhole? Do I have to research something first? I try clicking on the center and it doesn't work. I try clicking on the edge and it doesnt work. I try clicking on the other worm hole and it trys tro move me through "normal" space. I just don't get it.

There's a tech for it midway along the tech tree - wormhole transit or something like that

Also once you have the tech you have to move your ship to the CENTER of the black hole. It will then move your army to the corresponding black hole.

Cooley: Since when did Sins have actual black holes?

There are two ways you can gain the ability to traverse wormholes: research, or a particular artifact.

For all factions, the wormhole travel research topic is located in their Civilian (or Advent/Vasari equivalent) research tree. However, the Vasari get their wormhole tech at Tier 4, where the TEC and Advent get this tech at Tier 5 (which makes sense, since the Vasari are more or less masters of Phase Space).

If you happen to find the Jump Field Generator artifact (it appears at the bottom right of the artifacts screen if you're a non-Entrenchment user) On top of reducing antimatter lost in phase jumps by 30%, it will grant your ships the ability to travel through wormholes, whether you've researched the wormhole tech or not. If you lose the artifact and you haven't performed the wormhole research, your ships lose the ability to travel through them (which has dire implications for ships stuck in an area where the only way out is through a wormhole).
