Several times now I'm sitting on top of a gate (less than 2km off) and my target uncloaks some 38km away from me, not the same target but it has happened to me now on several occasions.
Am I missing something here or should I start to doubt my sanity? |

Tzar, is it a Minmatar gate?
Because I too have seen this happen. When they come into system they are much further off then they normally should be. So far have only seen it on Minmatar gates. |

Ah i remember that the area of the gate is bugged was like an ungoldy activation range but was only on some gates |

From what I know/remember you always end up 12km from the gate icon, so if I'm 2km away from that icon I should be at most 14km away from the uncloaking target?
But yeah, it's a minmatar gate.

Edited by: El''Tar on 22/04/2008 18:02:40 Well take this for example, when you are 200km from a station, are you 200km from the people behind the station?
Indeed, you arn't , chances are they are around 250km or so away.
Same principle with the minmatar gates - however, to a lesser extent. ________________________________________________ MY BIG BROTHER BEING JESUS ******* CHRIST IN HIS BATTLEWAGON OF DOOM |

You are welcome, if you are to gatecamp a minmatar gate, either get a Lachesis/Arazu, or attempt to camp both sides of the gate.
If you are using hit and run tactics; make two different safespots, at opposite sides of the gate.
Hope this helps ________________________________________________ MY BIG BROTHER BEING JESUS ******* CHRIST IN HIS BATTLEWAGON OF DOOM |

Ill try to make a picture of it so you understand.
_ Stargate --> |O| The lines are the distance from the stargate at 2k, Now a gate is big, So if yo uare on the LEFT side at 2k, and the stargate it self is for example 4 k , and then another 2k , you will be over 20 k from the target, depending on what side he "spawns" .And a bigger gate ( say minmatar, caldari or gallente ) Will increese this factor like hell, Since htey are allot bigger in lenght.
Hope ( with my super crappy explenation and the worse stargate in the world ) you understand xD

0km to a gate isnt 0km to a single point, but to a large volume
there's a large swath of space where you're considered 0km away. enough that on the other edge of this volume you can be 26km away, meaning that for a 12 km jump in they can end up 38km away
