9/10 times when i warp in on an Amarr gate, i bounce off anywhere from 12 to 15km .... this is really annoying. WTF is the point of having warp to 0, if it takes more time to get to the gate than if i warped to 12km.

What do I Do?

Can you guys do something?

Could try manually specifying a warp in distance rather than just warping to zero.

‘No, this isn't it at all. Make it more... psssshhhh’.

Provided that you want to "jump on contact", another workaround would be to set the gate you want to jump through as the first waypoint (right click on it in the Overview and select "Add as first waypoint", or "Set Destination" if you have no route set), and activate the autopilot after warping. This will usually have the autopilot initiate the jump before the ship got bumped out of jump range, and will immediately deactivate the autopilot on the other side of the gate (if the autopilot is set to stop at waypoints, which is the default).

When you get to the gate, you can press D and press left mouse key few times after coming out of warp, quickkey shortcut. i do this when warping freighter arround in null or low sec.
