Is there a skill that allows you to jump closer to the stargates?

Supposedly there's been talk of a skill to shorten the 15km distance coming in Kali to eliminate the need for instas.
...don't hold me to that, though.

Great, ANOTHER skill to waste more time on.
And on top of that, it wont work as well as an insta jump book mark.... lame.

I have seen people jump about 5k next to a stargate, how do they do it?

Insta bookmarks. They're much harder to program now thanks to CCP. It's not only harder to program them, it's hard to transfer them as well, largely removing the incentive to sell them.

Basically, they already have a bookmark that is set about 14km past the warpgate and they warp to that instead which causes them to come out of warp close to the gate and "Instantly" use it.

[*] = normal warp in point fact = when warping to a bookmark you created you end up 15km away from it Locical assumption [warping in from here]---------->[stargate]------15km-------[bookmark] (think 3D) = you end up ontop of the stargate.
fact = stargate jump distance is 2,5km radius fact = the stargate itself is larger than just the model, it has a "proximity radius" of a few km edit (forgot) Fact = warp in point varies by 3km on bookmarks
= using a bit of math skills should result in a needful conclusion on instas . -Fate is what you make of it. -Make your own fate using T2 items produced by The Fated

Hi everybody. Huuuhh exciting, my first post. Program them? How can one "program" such a Bookmark? I mean apart from flying 14km behind the gate manually and clicking the "add bookmark" button.
(As you might have guessed from that question, im kinda new too:)

The only way to set up an insta-jump bookmark is the way you just mentioned. (travelling 15 km past the gate and adding a bm)

Edited by: Tomas Aquino on 25/04/2006 21:47:50 Hello About the question on how to create a jump pointy to be able to jump closer to a gate.
I basically mark the object were I am (Station, Asteroid Field, ext) then I warp to a gate. This will create a string line but you have to have the tactical view overlay on to be able to see the string line. You then click in space beyond the gate as to fly pass the gate. Slow to + once you pass the gate and the gate is in the 5-10km ring. Then slow down to 20m/s and maneuver your ship so that the string line goes thru the gate. You want to position the gate between the 10-20 km rings. Once you see the gate between the 10-20 ring stop and check the string line again. With practice you will spend less time maneuvering to get the string inside the gate. If you accidentally click near the gate or any object; you will loss the string line from the spot that you came from.
So you have the string inside gate and you have the gate in the center of the 10-20km rings. This will put you exactly 11km from the gate. Now you are ready to create a bookmark. I like to name the bookmark ôfrom to gate to systemö so I know what bookmark to pick if I make more than 1 bookmark in a single gate.
If you have 3 gates in a system, from gate to gate you will have 2 bookmarks for each gate depending on the horizontal and vertical angle from were you are warping from. Think of it as vectors in mathematical ways. One vector will not work if you warp from a different point in space.
Now for stations, just fly up or down to the center of the base. I like to set the station in center on the 0-5 km ring. And try to get as close to the station very low speed. Now bookmark the station. You will need 1 bookmark for the station if you do it right. The vector to the station will be the same distance to the station from any point in the system.
Remember to use the string line method and it will make it easy to see your trajectory.
Any questions look me up in game ôFalconStormö in Stegette.
Lock and load, keep it tight.
