Hey, got a question. The POS says you can jump 5 lightyears to another one with the jump gate, but how far is 5 lightyears?

What is even more funny is that this is the most helpful answer that could be provided. Stargate jumps have no correlation to actual distances between stars. Unless you are a user of capitalship jump drives or Titan/POS jump bridges, the distance in light years between stars has no meaning in game play.

* mubles something about the calculated value of a lightyear being an estimatation since the true calculation is sort of hard without accurate equipment.
Of course one could say that about an measurement, since rounding errors exist.

The closest thing I can find that might be useful is the Jumpplanner tool.
