You want to know the distances between Solar Systems for using Jumpdrive Technology ? Well, we have the answer to this question!

Very interesting program, what was used to calculate this?

It calculated the distance between qyzm-w (far north) and 7p-j38 (far south) as "7.68" light-years. I think it may be a little off. -------------- The Eve Diplomacy Table

yes, we had a little bug that is fixed now. All distances are measured from center to center of a solar system (sun to sun). |

Yeah, LBGI-2 (top-left) to RT64-C (bottom-right) is 90.742 LY.
I would have thought it would have been a lot bigger.

Good work. That's a fairly dense patch of stars, though... a little more dense than the historical documents would lead us to believe. I wonder if:
1. There is an error somewhere (I don't mean with your calculations, though).
2. Or is it that our ancestors gave us the proverbial "uphill ten kilometers both to and from school in the snow" when they wrote of forty-year trips to the next system to set up a stargate.
I suspect the first, but given the sense of humor of some powerful persons in high places, I wouldn't lay money against the second.

once CCP standardise the data it will be a very useful program applicable to titans and carriers once they are out into the wild

Edited by: Purask on 15/08/2005 12:19:06 the Eve space is prolly in a region of the galaxy which is close to its center. In the galaxy center or close to it the star density is much higher than around earth.

40 year trips make sense, since they were making the trip at sublight speeds. Can't jump to a new system if there's no stargate on the other end, since the gates use beacons at the destination to guide the jump, similar to jumpdrives on Dreads.

If someone can give me a formula for calculating the distance given both systems x,y,z locations (see t20's data files) I can label the lines on my topological maps (see Linkage) with the distances....

Thanks. Will gate-to-gate distance rather than star-to-stay be OK or do I need to do extra work... ;)

That's a tough one, I am not sure whether CCP calculates distances star-star, or position-position. Some of those systems are awful large.
