How to use wormholes?

How do I take advantage of wormholes?  I believe I have researched this ability, but I don't see any way to use it.  Is it only between star systems?  I am currently playing a single star game.

Just fly your ships right to the center, and if you researched the tech they'll jump right through :)

I actually select my fleet and then right-click the center of the wormhole.

Your ships should simply utilize the wormholes in a shortest-route method - for instance, if "planets" x and y are wormholes, and you have a ship in x, clicking somewhere in y will cause your ship to travel through the wormhole.

Ah yes, that's true. Your fleet should just automatically use the wormhole if it is the fastest path from point A to point B when you've zoomed out to the galaxy level. Just right click and watch 'em plot their course.

When I select fleet and right-click wormhole, I get not "colonizable planet" or something to that affect. Question: if you on a map with multiple wormholes how do you determine which one is the exit hole (planet x)?

You don't need to click on the selectable wormhole itself, just near it - although right clicking should give them a move order also.

Once you discover the exit point (by going through it once), you'll be able to see a thick white line between them that shows the link.

Thanks for quick reply Annatar11. So by phase jumping to wormhole and selecting near it (the wormhole), my fleet will automatically phase jump through to the other side, correct?

Yep, they just need to be near the center and should go through automatically :)
