there are no distance requirements on Micro warp drives, the only times they wont function are in deadspace pockets which are special rare sites, when your actively being scrambled by another player, or when you dont have the capacitor to run it If you don't keep up to date on the upcoming changes, you may as well be living under a rokh.I would even Venture to say that was a good pun on my partStay beautiful o7 |

150 km from the object you are trying to warp to. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

Yes that fits the experience I had with them. I context clicked a wreck 180km away and noticed the option to warp had appeared. After warping to it I tried to warp to something else at 118km and the option wasn't there.
Sorry for calling it a MWD, I just had the fact that it is so similar to WMD distracting me. That's nothing, I killed a Megathron with a teaspoon. |

Just an interesting little tidbit of information, you can only initiate a warp against an object that's at least 150km away from you, but you can make a warp as short as 50km by choosing to warp 100km away from the object.
So while something has to be 150km away to initiate a warp, the shortest warp you can actually make is 50km. |

Good thinking, I'm liking this, only thing I need to do now is find a use for it.

its super usefull in PVP and PVE to drop you in optimal or very close to it For example if you create a bookmark 200 off an asteroid belt in null or low sec and theres a faction spawn and your in say a proteus you can look to see what asteroid its near, judge the range with your tactical overlay, then warp right ontop of it and start shooting without needing to waste time approaching, which in PVP is huge If you don't keep up to date on the upcoming changes, you may as well be living under a rokh.I would even Venture to say that was a good pun on my partStay beautiful o7 |

The size of what we call "The Grid" usually about 500 kilo's of visible space in a certain area, so long as you or anyone else is "On Grid" you will be able to see them and they will be able to see you unless one of you is cloaked. Grid can be stretched and manipulated by dropping cans or making wrecks in certain areas, forcing it to render more in one direction than another
Google "Grid-Fu" if you want to learn more about that, I cant exactly explain it as well as some of the articles you will find can.

Anyway smaller objects disappear after a certain distance, what determines that distance? You only see what's on-grid with you. Going deeper than that... let's just say that the grid is fluid and can grow larger or smaller, and that there are a fairly large number of ways that it can be changed.

So the grid is the same for all ships then ? Is that a diameter ? That's nothing, I killed a Megathron with a teaspoon. |

Like the one above said its fluid, it changes shapes based one where people are and where certain things are such as cans, wrecks, asteroids, beacons, structures, etc which means it cannot be a diameter, nor is there any way to see where it begins or ends. Its not based on the ship but on the area, its a set section of space anyone in that sector can see everyone else in it unless cloaked.
You should read the articles or the PDF linked above, they can go into more detail If you don't keep up to date on the upcoming changes, you may as well be living under a rokh.I would even Venture to say that was a good pun on my partStay beautiful o7 |

Thanks, I shall, though I meant it's default size. I think we are moving away from Warp Drives now so I will probably post a different thread after I find something about D Scan that I don't understand. That's nothing, I killed a Megathron with a teaspoon. |

Good thinking, I'm liking this, only thing I need to do now is find a use for it. If you warp to something within 100km you can make a bookmark then warp back to where you started. Then if you warp to within 100km of your bookmark you'll have another bookmark 200km out that can see your original destination and is far enough to warp to it. |

Fixed celestials are always on the overview (if enabled to show) no matter the distance.
The 200 km off any object are tactical bookmarks which are vital for most professions (specially PvP).
As for when stuff disappears, it's around 250 km that a grid ends. But grids are no fixed size and can easily be altered in shape and size (hint: google for Grid-Fu manual).

Yeah. He already said that, otherwise he would have stated it's depending on the ship. Personal channel: Crazy Dutch Guy Help channel: Help chat - Reloaded Public roams channels: RvB Ganked / Redemption Road / Spectre Fleet / Bombers bar |

It was mostly a rhetorical question but it could possibly default to a non symmetrical shape also.
