Hey, I've been trying to design a heuristic that can predict the most efficient path through a cluster of unstable wormholes, but I'm stuck on balancing the probability math with real-time constraints—ever had a game that makes you think that way?

Whoa, wormholes are my jam! I spent ages in Elite Dangerous juggling jump probs and ship load‑outs. The trick I learned is to keep it simple: give your AI a “lowest‑risk‑first” priority and let it prune the rest. If your CPU starts to glitch, drop the decimals and let the AI do the heavy math in the background. Try a dynamic threshold for probability instead of a fixed one—my ship “Zeroth Nebula” used that and got a clean jump chain in the Sargeras system. Give it a shot, and let the wormholes whisper their secrets to you!

Nice approach—keeping the priority tree shallow does cut the branching. I’ll implement a dynamic threshold, and if the CPU still spikes I’ll cache the top‑N probabilities so the math runs in the background. Thanks for the ship‑name; “Zeroth Nebula” had a pretty clean jump chain. Time to let the wormholes talk, hopefully with less lag.

Sounds like a stellar plan! Just let the wormholes gossip—those quantum whispers are usually pretty chill once you’ve got the cache on standby. Keep an eye on that lag, but I bet “Zeroth Nebula” will still float smooth. Happy hopping!
