What happens to your character/ship or pod if you travel too far from a star system into open space? (Example: Try to cross the open space between two systems that is (I guess) a couple million AUs and would take months of real time piloting to do)

EDIT: And yes I have tried Google and asking in the EVE Uni and help channels in-game.

If I'm not totally wrong you can only warp to a target within the same system. So you couldn't just go ahead and warp -out- of the system.

So you'd have to use normal flight, with a very fast ship maybe.. 10km/s? .. that'd be 15 million seconds (a little less than half a year) for one AU.

I hear that you'd eventually be able to see the celestials in the other system, but still be technically in the first system (right-click options would correspond to original system, overview would show other system). I think someone managed this back when deep-space safes were possible.

Celestials?... and deep-space safes?

Deep safes have been removed. Eventually, despite that you're still moving, you won't actually be any further away.

Not a forum alt.

I still don't understand...

What is a Deep safe and do you mean that you would have travelled through all the space but you will not be able to physically see the second system but you will see all of the stations planets etc on the overlay?

I was under the impression that, since jumpgates are load screens, you can't fly between systems. You'd just keep flying forever but never get anywhere.

Players used to refer to spots outside the solar system as "deep safes", they were all moved inwards. There's basically a maximum border around systems now.

So you could exit the system before but you can no longer do it?

And can you reach other systems?

A "deep safe spot" is a bookmark hundreds or more AU away from the system. CCP moved all such spots to 10 (or something) AU from the outermost celestial and made making new ones farther out impossible, even if you did manage to get out there.

At one time the map did not have a "solar system" and a "star map" view. You would go from one to the other just by zooming. Someone used a deep safe spot creation method to warp from one star to another. When he got there the map said he was in the other star system, but nothing showed in space; no planets, no star.

The conclusion is the game considers you to always be in your solar system no matter how far you go. You never really go into another solar system, even if you travel to the location of that other system. The only way to change systems is by jumping.

You cannot enter another system, except by means of wormholes, jump drives, or stargates.

Even if you could fly all the way to another system (which you can't), you wouldn't session change to it. so you wouldn't see the state for that system. Your local would be the previous system.

Woo! CSM XI!
