In between both warp drive and jump drive.

Hyperdrive.
a long stretched warp to 1 location from another.

Freighters warping directly from jita to dodixie or hek to hed-gp you name it!
navigation skills are more or less lacking in my opinion and could use another few
features and ideas never get to be legitimate game features but i would like to know opinions!

All the topics in this forum are game changing.

Please refer to the features and idea's rules before posting further.


Also how is this at all different from a jump drive? The jump drive already does exactly what you named in the form of jump freighters.

EDIT: Thank you for changing your title from "Game changing topic"

I'd rather not add more ways to evade the choke points (and thus interaction hotspots) that stargates create.

That is true so could there be a downside such as it would be like auto piloting or only a few class of ships?
this is a bad idea considering gate camps with this would be useless

So, basically, you hate regional market variation and want it removed?

There is something very similar to this, it is called a jump drive and the corresponding ship is a jump freighter.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

No this IS a jump drive.

Apparently this isn't such a terrible idea because its already in the game.

The only thing to argue here is how exactly his proposal is different in any form to the current jump drive except maybe he just wants to cut out the cyno alt middleman?

Generaly proposals like that advocate removing the cyno and instead adding a (usually stupidly long) travel time instead.

I think a better way to make this work would be to have wormholes with dual high sec statics, or perhaps make a C1 high sec superhighway. If you want to jump your freighter to Dodixie in 3 jumps - fine. But go through null sec to do it.

Except that C1 wormholes have a mass limit where only Battlecruisers and smaller can fit into the wormhole.
