Some cool features that are possible with wormholes and would be cool to see in use:

• One time usable wormholes
• Linking wormholes to a unit
• Player specific wormholes
• One-way wormholes
• Having multiple entry wormholes for a single exit wormhole

I would imagine these features aren't very well-known, as I don't recall any maps using any of those.

Check the Guide for more details.

There shouldn't be any issues with these.

I am quite certain that the OOS problem will be fixed in a future patch.

cool

i like the idea of one time use holes. that way sending a scout out to use it and collapse it can be tactically sound.

Indeed . Also you might imagine that you can pen up AIs using wormholes that don't allow it to go through etc .

I am most excited by the "one way Wormhole idea"

I've never played that much with wormholes.  I usually just build them, and let them go.  Although I have built a map with a dozen or so wormholes and you never know where you'll end up.  It could be fun if it werent for those out-of-sync errors.  The stock A2 doesn't have those errors.

A one-way wormhole doesn't sound that practical, but I like the other ideas, will they work (or are they) in Star Trek Armada II like that or just Fleet Ops?

The are in AII Vanilla as well

Ok, thank you. How do I set the wormholes to have those extra settings and to all that? Is it the standard wormhole or is there some modding required or just an edit in the Map Editor?

You can have all sorts of fun with wormholes.  Making for some interesting games.

Well first the oss issues need to be fixed, but it would be nice to see wormholes in the future, as long as they are put on maps in such away where you cant do the whole put 1000 turrets around the wormhole

When fully opened, the wormhole takes about 1 grid by 1 grid.  And you can put turrets around them.  Anything that goes through the wormhole will be vaporized before they get a chance to open fire.
