Im surprised no one's tried this.
Warp to some location in a system in an inty,loaded with as many speed mods as possible and a T2 AB(you should be able to run that forever).
Set courseo ut of the system and leave it there overnight.
Anyone tried that to see how far they can go?

Its possily to go several hundred AU out of a solar sys, though you wont be doing that anytime soon with todays mwd/ab

I tried something like that when I first started playing Eve - in the New Eden system...
Nothing really changes, the view and the background picture remains the same.
You just get more and more km between you and the gate and planets.
Btw... how many have seen the New Eden system 
By filing this bug report you have challenged the honor of my family. Prepare to die! |

You can continue traveling like that forever if you wan't to, but you won't reach anything else, to get to another system you will have to use a gate.

furthest I have been is 4400 AU
F11 BM + Pod :)
on the map I was about 10cm away from the sector I was in

There is no limit to the size of a system.
My record was about 8000 AU with a pod and warp drive ops 5. Thats nothing though, used to be a bug where you could bounce off cans - some people ended up over a million AU from the can :p

Oh oh oh! Me, I've seen it! *feels special*
That place freaks me out. Is it just me, or have far too many people died there (and I mean in RL)?

Corpmate of mine traveled for hours in an interceptor at New Eden, he said he found a few ships out there...shuttles a frigate or two...

Went there in my first week. Found it a bit disappointing to be honest, although the journey was certainly eventful!

There was an Old trick that used to be used for making safe spots (maybe still is) that allowed you to travel at warp out of the system (you didn't go anywhere new just further and further out from the system each time you warped). IT really had no point other than making a safe spot that was far away requiring multiple warps to reach.
Probably the coolest Non warp long range travel things I have done is:
Load up an Incursis or interceptor with a MWD and enough cap recharge rate to run it non stop (incursis can do it with decent skill or the +20% cap rechargers, the ones that cut down shield boosting).
1: I flew around a small moon starting from a station, ( literaly orbited the moon. Pretty cool seeing the other side of it up close like that. Took about ten minutes.
2: In Oursulaert there are two stations around one of the ringed planets, and they are about 3,500 KM apart, I flew from one to the other using only MWD took about 24 minutes.
One might ask WHY I did it? Just for the heck of it really :)

There was once a time when a bug allowed people to warp off as far as they wanted. Since this bug has been squished, you're not gunna get very far. Theoreticly you could keep flying continuously, but on standard drives that's not very far.
Let's say you can go 20 km/s. 20 km/s = 1.2*10^3 km/min = 7.2*10^4 km/hr = 1.728*10^6 km/day. That's roughly 1.5*10^6 km/day. One AU is roughly 1.5*10^8 kilometers. That means it will take you one hundred days to travel one AU. Good luck.

From memory I think I got to 4200. I remember I had just lost a ship and I panicked and closed my connection. Every time I logged back on over the next ten minutes I was still in warp. On the plus side I did bookmark the final resting point. It was somewhere near (hah hah) FDZ.
The warp back was a real sod

My farthest safespot was 1080 AU from the solar system, I'm sure I've travelled out farther just for fun, but I don't remember how far.

farest I ever traveld were 6'000 au from the sun.
At thsi time there used to be no grides out there (when you were mor ethan 2'000 au away from the sun everything was in the same grid) That is kinda fun ;) you can see people from thousends au away.
I think it's not possible any more. Did it with the endless BM ;) and took me nearly an hour to warp back to system with Autopilot (Yeah, I was realy bored this night)

like some old school MASS members will remember, RagnarH went over 25,000 au's from the nearest station. I wount tell u how, but he warped in pod, and yes, pods do spend theyr cap in that distance.
Good old times :)

yeah and funny thing is if you bkm'd those locations I think they still work :-P despite the fac that you can no longer make them. not entirely sure tho.

the new eden system is pretty cool, but not as cool as the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey which is in a system near there.

No edges? No fun. Earth & Beyond sectors had edges. Bump. No damage, even whilst warping, just bump.
Of course if you were running away from a mob of giant lvl 66 space fish at the time, then 'bump' could be unpleasant.

Thats how safe spots used to be made. The old way to make uber safes by keeping location on systems like agil for example using the F11 map would make them waaayyyyy far away from the sun like 2000+ AUs. One time I ejected from my ship and instead of using the bm to the station I accidenly used the uber safe and my pod started flying and 15 minutes later I was like 2000+ au from the sun and had to warp back possibly the biggest waste of time I've ever had and it looked like I was way down by 7GCD on the F10 map too it was funny.

Just to let people know, the new way to create good safespots is to do missions. Really, do a few missions and you'll find some of these temporary deadspace complexes you have to tackle are waaaay out there at a point you can't normally get near. You have to use probes to find them.

interesting figures, from my SS hunting research: tho i just carried on, was cool :)
1 au = 149,597,870 km
Speed of light = 299,792 km/s
Traveling 1au/s = ALMOST 500 TIMES 'SPEED OF LIGHT'.
1 light year = 63,240 au
Slow ship in eve = 3au/s
If ships in eve were real and we wanted to take a trip to our nearest solarsystem 'Proxima Centauri' (which is 4.2 light years away), it would only take 24.59 hours to arive, AKA a day. We would be hauling ass at 1500 times the speed of light, suck on that kirk (well probably not).

You can literally fly forever in one direction in a eve solarsystem, but it wont get you to another system.
Even if it were possible to manually fly from system to system, we're talking a lot of earth years for the online trip.
