Nyx Noir Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 1	Posted - 2017.02.28 03:39:14 - [1] - Quote 1AU = 149,597,870.00 km At 9,000 ms it would take 192.38 days to travel 1AU Just curious what the longest distant anyone has ever traveled? eg, burning away from the most outta celestial outwards. Got any screenshots? Maths: Days =(((149,597,870/(9,000/1000))/60)/60)/24

Amojin Entropic Synergies Research 21	Posted - 2017.02.28 03:46:50 - [3] - Quote To get any serious distance would require that the game let you just sit. We would let people sit on our MUSH for months, but that's because it was on a BSD codebase, and we didn't have to reboot until we upgraded the OS from source, or had to recompile the MUSH. Today, most games have timers that kick you for inactivity, do they not?

Mine was a localhost connection, so I don't count, but we did have the Dominion Wizard make it to around a year, 352 days. No, he was not afk unless he was at work, he was just logged in. :P Most of the roys and some of the more dedicated players could easily hit 90 days.

Because star systems are so large and subwarp velocities are so low, you won't get far. I remember reading a story like that. Some wormhole PvPers scanned down a ship (i think it was a cruiser) in a wormhole they got into, and when landing on grid, found themselves dozens of kilometres away from the target. The cruiser was traveling at a very high subwarp velocity (something like >10km/s), entirely afk, because the player wanted to see how far he would go. It took an hour for the wormholers to finally find a way to scan him and catch him. They heard the rest of the story from the target's corpmate. The above message presents my opinions on the topic at hand. If there is a conflict between my views and reality, consider reality to be correct until proven otherwise.
Eternus8lux8lucis Primus Inc. LEGIO ASTARTES ARCANUM 1312	Posted - 2017.02.28 10:44:13 - [7] - Quote People did this many years ago trying to get into Jove space. Theyd log in a dt and keep going straight again after finding the in game direction. This was before the Need for Speed nerfs iirc where you could stack prop mods. Technically they had made it from the nearest sov null system TO Jove space but because you need a session changed to actually load it you can never make it there. I am not sure what the AUs would be but it took a few weeks or months iirc. Afaik that was the farthest anyone ever went subspace. Have you heard anything I've said? You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right? That's right. Had to end sometime.

Got any screenshots? Maths: Days =(((149,597,870/(9,000/1000))/60)/60)/24 Largest distance traveled was from the closest accessible system to Jovian space to a system in Jovian space. This happened before my time. You used to be able to stack prop mods (Have multiples and have them all activated at once). Someone did this and spent several days flying towards a Jovian systems star. They didn't actually fly the real distance though it was made possible by some kind of weird way the server calculated your position. After a while the server decided the ship was somewhere else and moved it. I myself have flown a Dominix and a few other ships including an Orca ( which went further do to mass making it harder for it to slow back down). Several AUs without a warp bubble in a matter of seconds with a star bump assist. http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/tuttomenui2/236_million_ms_domi.png
Nana Skalski Taisaanat Kotei 28400	Posted - 2017.02.28 12:00:39 - [9] - Quote Its starting to get warmer outside and you start talking about flying AFK towards the edge of the universe. I am astounded. Seriously, I am. Every part of a game helps to tell a story =ƒôò Where is Angry CONCORD guy when you need him Osprey =ƒÜÇ GëíGïüGëí GÖÑ
MadMuppet A Better Corp Name 1243	Posted - 2017.02.28 14:33:55 - [10] - Quote OK, so here is a thought. If a session timer is needed to make this work... bring a Raitaru along and anchor it when you get there? Dock up, there is your session timer. This message brought to you by Experience(tm).

Dock up, there is your session timer. *I am guessing that the EVE DEVs have already thought of this and added a maximum anchor distance to the Upwell structures... but would that include Jove space? It's not just a session change. It needs a full blown jump. Each system is considered its own map. If you put down a station on one map, it's on that map, docking in it wouldn't move it, or you, to a different map. I have heard that in early versions of the game, stargates weren't actually a thing, and you'd jump from system to system by warping to the edge of the system map. And that they changed it to the stargate system to add choke points to drive conflict. No idea how true that is, but it makes me wonder what EVE would be like now if it stayed that way. There've been ideas floated a while ago about a deep space feature for the game (I believe this was a CCP idea.) That there'd be ways to get out beyond the edges of a solar system where travel and survival would become extremely difficult but you could set up your own little deep space outposts. I don't see this happening now, since CCP has given up on the small group player or even any sense of adventure and instead only devs to make the blobs bigger. Maxim 6. If violence wasnGÇÖt your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.

That was actually done with warp drive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUl3zNiW648 As far as the OPs question goes: When eve was young, you could mount multiple MWDs and get silly high speeds, going AU's per second. A few years ago, speeds of 30 km/sec and more were possible, before the nano nerf. So, to some extent, the answer to your question depends on which version of the game you are limiting yourself to.

u3pog Caldari Provisions Caldari State 845	Posted - 2017.03.02 21:07:53 - [14] - Quote 500 000 kms for me. I was travelling towards a large star and it took me a while to reach the bumping point
Mark O'Helm Fam. Zimin von Reizgenschwendt 286	Posted - 2017.03.02 23:59:32 - [15] - Quote I've read about an rp corp named goner temple, that have within other dogmas, the goal to reach the eve gate in the system new eden in genesis. Afaik they came 22 AU from the stargate in that system. Idk if they still doing this. And i doubt, that they did it all the way by traveling with sublight. Still pretty cool.

Khergit Deserters Crom's Angels 4947	Posted - 2017.03.03 00:24:45 - [16] - Quote I must have done about 1,000,00 km once. I went to see the EVE Gate, expecting get to see some ruins, blown-up ships or something. But it was just a hazy light far off in space. And you can't warp to it. So I tried burning to it in my Stiletto. After about 10 minutes of that and the EVE Gate still looking exactly the same, I guessed it was just a graphic and not a reachable object and gave up. Felt kind of noob-like too.
Mr Epeen It's All About Me 10520	Posted - 2017.03.03 01:03:55 - [17] - Quote I did five days once back when you could make deep space book marks. I covered maybe a 10th of the distance that I made it to slingshotting myself in a half hour. Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!
Cade Windstalker 981	Posted - 2017.03.03 02:00:08 - [18] - Quote The longest legitimate travel at this point is probably one of the roving collection of cans and bookmarks that people have created and collectively added to over the years pointed out towards the Eve Gate.
Goner Marok Goner Temple GONER PARADIGM 8	Posted - 2017.03.03 14:48:30 - [19] - Quote Ave Brothers and Sisters of New Eden. It is true, that the Goner Temple is on its holy journey to the EVE Gate, where we hope to find a way to communicate with our old home, the Earth. http://imgur.com/a/01lWB It still might take a while for us to do this, but we will succed, and hopefully be able to rejoin with our brothers and sisters there.

Kenneth Endashi State Protectorate Caldari State 125	Posted - 2017.03.03 17:59:27 - [20] - Quote This is my favorite thread ever. I am fascinated with these concepts. I'd like to see the game use deep space more. great post by Tuttomenui II especially


CCP Falcon 13631	Posted - 2017.03.03 20:13:33 - [21] - Quote I once put 8 microwarpdrives on a scorpion back when you could. It emptied my cap in three cycles and I ended up travelling at 147 km/sec It was great CCP Falcon \|\| EVE Universe Community Manager \|\| @CCP_Falcon Happy Birthday To FAWLTY7! <3

An acquaintance of mine was on the test server while you guys were testing dynamically editing the properties of game objects with the servers running. A dev gave the Drake a base speed of like 6km/s and my friend literally MWD'd between deadspace pockets in a mission.

Stargates were in from day 1. Mission/complex launch gates weren't as missions didn't exist, nor did complexes/sites. Maybe a pre-alpha thing? I'd like to know where that rumor came from, if it has any substance. It kinda fits with what seems to have been the early vision of the game. As to the OP... in Molden Heath, in either Gulf or Gelf or someplace, the station is close enough to the moon/planet that you can MWD the distance. Something changed over the past couple years so I don't think you can do it now, but at one point I could reliably MWD from the station to the planet, and the planet would bounce me back to the station, which I would then bounce off nearly all the way back to the planet. Not a long distance, but it was pretty hilarious and at insanely fast speeds. Maxim 6. If violence wasnGÇÖt your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.

I was pointing out that I thought those systems were standard. The MUSH has been gone for over a decade, now, so it's kinda old news. I was using it as a comparison, to somewhat light-heartedly comment on how things are, now? You're afk? KICK No, we didn't do that, but today I'd be surprised if that EVER happened, anywhere. I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I don't make any attempt to cheat, or even meta-game, in any point at all. I don't even have multiple accounts, though that is, apparently legal, as is multi-boxing.
Kenneth Endashi State Protectorate Caldari State 127	Posted - 2017.03.05 02:51:25 - [29] - Quote i have a few questions about this. is there a limit beyond which you can no longer create bookmarks or warp to them? like can you keep working on a particular journey, bookmark it and return later after doing missions or something? you know, and continue your journey? and does the solar system get smaller, like the sun get smaller as you slowboat farther away?

Ever since the "deep safe nerf" there's a limit to how far away from the sun a bookmark can be. It's something like the furthest planet out +8AU or something, I'm not exactly sure. If the sun actually performed the way it should, you'd notice it even within normal bounds. Considering earth is 1AU from the sun, a system where you're 200 AU from the sun, you should barely even be able to see it, even if it was a giant. Wish they'd get that done sooner rather than later. Would be far more interesting than re-skinning everything for the 6th time. Maxim 6. If violence wasnGÇÖt your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.
