I'm curious, if you sit at one gate, and another gate is say 20 au's away, if you pointed your ship in the direction of the other gate, would it ever reach it using the sublight engines? It looks in game as though gate to gate is real time not instanced, or say, a cutscene, so in theory would it ever reach the other gate?

I'm fairly sure distance is just a numerical value and not actual game distance. In essence you can only go so far from the gate or station.

It is hard to remain accurate over long distances but yes, people have flown the slow way between distant objects before, such as going into a deadspace without using the accel gate.
20 AU would take 3.5 days to do in a 10km/s inty though. So DT would interrupt you at least 3 times.

The general consensus seems to be that it would reach that other gate eventually, but let me do some math on that...
1AU = 149000000km, 20AU = 2980000000km = 2980000000000m.
A shuttle with the speed of 600m/s would therefore reach said gate in about...
157.5 years. Have a nice flight.
Edit: Speed it up by nano'ing a ceptor and fitting it with an AB, because I doubt you'll permarun an MWD.
Edit2: *Prays I haven't messed up the math.*

No, distance is distance. If you flew there manually, you'd get to it if you could live that long.

Makes me wonder how many people have tried to fly to jove space and gave up :)

Inty can permarun a MWD just fine. I use an ares with 2 ODI, 2 nanos, mwd, small cap battery and cap recharger (all t2, no rigs) for a shuttle, MWD runs as long as i feel like, cap doesn't even get close to 50%.
I did however botch my 3.5 day math (forgot to convert au from km to m), it's actually 9.44 years at 10km/s, so 157 years in a shuttle sounds about right.

Actually system:system is different.
As for jove space, attemps has actually been made, back in the world of multiple MWD's if I recall. Anyway, they ended up in the right spot - according to the star map. But no system.
As for intrasystem travel, I'm quite sure it works. Just make it easy for yourself, create a safespot close to a grid and travel to it. Or go betwen two belts close to eachother.

Many moons ago, before time was nerf... you could fit any number of mwd's and go at blazing speeds that makes current speeds pale in comparison...
Also at one point you could initiate warp on the system itself and it would send you off in some random direction.
So judging by pre-multi mwd days - meaning things could have changed since, and all is personal experience, nothing definite.
Yes, you can fly from one celestial object to another regardless of distance. Will take a while though.
You cannot however fly from one system to another. You could be inside the radius but it wouldn't load.
Note I only tried that one time... Ended up self destructing some several thousand AU's from the star, 2 or so system's distance away...
