Let Ship_dist be the distance between the scanning ship and the center of the wormhole entry point (the X,Y from wormhole.txt).

Deterministic Scanning: A ship sees all wormholes for which Ship_dist <= WrmScanRange. A ship with the ScansAllWormholes function sees all wormholes for which Ship_dist <= 2 * WrmScanRange. These rules are only applied if WrmScanRange is not 0.

Probabilistic Scanning: The chance to see a wormhole depends on its mass.

Detection_radius =
   10 * Wormhole_mass ^ (1/3)
Detection_chance =
   100%              ...if Ship_dist ≤ Detection_radius
   (4 - (Ship_dist/Detection_radius)^2) * 33.3%
                     ...if Detection_radius < Ship_dist ≤ 2*Detection_radius
   0%                ...if Ship_dist > 2*Detection_radius

For every wormhole, a dice is rolled.

• Ships with the ScansAllWormholes function will see all wormholes found this way.
• Other ships see only the closest wormhole found this way (which need not really be the closest wormhole; there might be one which is closer but which was not seen by chance).
