I had an idea that might reduce the amount of time it takes to travel. I call it JGL for JumpGate Linking. How it would work is simple, a ship would come up to any gate and with the right skill(s) you tell the gate to link with the next couple of gates that would be in your route, therefore you might be able to avoid low sec. system that are being camped or just save time to your main destination.
Skill sets that can come from this is :
1) JGL Skillbook x8 (enable JumpGate Linking subsystem within gate network. LVL4 Lets you jump 5 gates within Region. At LVL5 you can jump 6 gates across Regions. Penalty: 30 second wait time per GateLink.)
2) JGL Reliability x5 ( LVL1 15%, LVL2 30%, LVL3 50%, LVL4 70%, LVL5 90% of successful JGL)
3) JGL Waittime Reduction x5 ( LVL1 10%, LVL2 20%, LVL3 30%, LVL4 40%, LVL5 50% reduction of waittime per JGL)
4) JGL Pirate Gate x5 ( allows you to use JGL on Pirate Gates Only. LVL4 Lets you jump 5 gates within Region. At LVL5 you can jump 6 gates across Regions. Penalty 20 second wait time per GateLink.)
The system would be limited to two groups ie: Group 1 - Freighters and Group2 Battleships and Battle Cruisers type ships

No.
Saving time: Eve travel is too quick already. This woiuld just make the game feel even smaller, which is exactly the opposite of what's needed.
Reducing Risk: You can already reduce the risk of lowsec travel by planning appropriately, making use of the intelligence tools available, and using scouts or cloaked ships. We don't need to remove the exposure to these risks, we need to teach people how to prepare for them and work within them.
Not supported.

This idea sucks.
Think the consequences through.

being smart, travelling in lowsec is as safe as highsec. sometimes i feel less secure in systems like niarja/uedama than i do in lowsec. oh and covert transports just rock :D
so coming to the conclusion ... i cant really support this.

You obviously didn't take the time to think about what would happen with such a system in place as a whole did you?
Not Supported yet an another noob proposal.

Why does everyone say that?
Do you all just fly around in interceptors, or can you completely disregard the passing of time at will?
Flying a freighter from Amarr to Jita is anything but quick. I'm not saying it needs to be faster, but it sure isn't too fast.

As for the topic: don't like it either. Doesn't feel right, IMO. |

first of all freighters shouldnt be fast. webbing the ship helps (hello teamwork!).
and yes i regularly do 50-60jump trips with my freighter.

Actually I normally move cargo in a Prowler (since I am normally moving very small items) - so yes, it feels considerably faster to me than someone in a freighter. That feeling of speed is very subjective based on our normal modes of play.
The point is, Eve doesn't need to feel smaller.

I never said they should be. Just that they aren't.

Yeah, nice idea, but actually rather useless unless you mean to reduce risk (always good).
I once timed flying through a 70AU system - the actual flight in warp took by far longer than going into warp - even though that takes almost a minute.
No reason to waste another ones time unless it's really important/valuable cargo.
If fleets could increase warp speed, that would be more interesting... |

There is such a load of consequences that I'm not even going to list them.
Travel in eve is as it stand fast enough (read just fine), it might be boring but it keeps the idea around that this takes place in a galaxy.
You should have gone back to before revelations where you could just as well autopilot anywhere in high-sec because it didn't matter if you flew or autopiloted, although the 15 km bookmark beyond a gate sped travel up of course.

Actually, if anything, fleets should align and warp at the speed of their slowest ship, to maintain fleet coherency.

bahaha. So awesome.
So supporting this idea because of how stupid it is.

I remember when Jason Edwards used to post terrible ideas like this, now he is slowly turning into one of us. ONE OF US.

So you're going to have to do some actual thinking with regards to hull components and their capabilities instead of copying some cookie-cutter setup. Cry some more.
