I could have sworn I saw an update that said missions would no longer drop you 90km from the next acceleration gate? When I read that, I kind of figured they meant LESS than 90km, not more.
What gives?

" It's a feature " to reduce lagg. When you have nothing to blow up there is little to update, ergo less lagg.
Try not to face plant between gates (I have and keyboard cheek looks funny and smarts like heck)

Flying 90KM to a gate is fun, what game are you playing?!

Can't say anything about level 2 and up missions, but Unautorized Military Presense drops you 85~ Kilos from the gate, in an empty pocket...
It's a bit retarded, and I dread the idea of it happening in missions where I'm using a bigger, slower ship...

Its due to a new EU durective regarding computer usage and "breaks" apparently for every 73rd NPC from "planned" game encounter is blown up the games provider has to provide a a minimum of 34 minutes "break" from game interaction. The only way this can be enforced is to put huge travel distances to gates in missions.
This has proved succesful and weekly RL deaths from mission overload have dropped by 47% .... Are you still reading this LOL any way the next EU directive is proposed to pacify in game violence which will enforce the exchange of offensive weapons fire is limited to 1 hour in every 24hr period... NO really ....

I think it's because some lower level missions are actually higher level missions with the thermostat turned down. This means that some of the lower level rats have been removed which on some levels means that the level is empty.
I would class that as a bug myself.

The level 4 version of the assault sucks for this, its something like a 150km slowboat (cant rememer exactly), and in a raven thats just dull >_>

You do know on that mission, you can BM the gate, warp out, then warp to the gate?
I find new and interesting games to play while on the trek to the gates (especially on missions like Pirate Slaughter).
My current favourite with a group of us running missions is the first one to the gate wins. Anybody who warps out or gets their ship destroyed, loses.
Getting full room aggro makes those 70+km treks far more interesting.

definitely a viable alternative.. but try giving up that mid slot for an AB to fly this extreme distance between THREE gates.. just to get to a final level of Pirate Slaughter that you now can't tank without flying out multiple times.. and then repeating the 20 minute flight between gates (x3).
if they want a time sink in missions, they need to be a little more creative. sprinkling a few more pieces of debris as eye candy for your flight only works the first couple of times you run the mission, then you're bored and would rather switch over to BF2142 or something.

They're trying to deal with the over crowding by boring the sh*t out of the players so they cancel their sub.
Good strategy really.

Heh, course I know, sadly it doesn't work. Either for that mission, or for missions as a whole anymore. (As, a friend and I are constantly encountering Warp to Zero issues with dead space. It's been a while since did "A case of Kidnapping," but I never had issues with people warping directly to me there but every other mission has been dropping us at the first door. Which in the case of this one, still drops you 85+ away from the door.)
