Like the topic says just a quick question related to most missions I've noticed as of late not I did take an extended real from eve and I apologize if this has been asked I couldn't find an answer even with extensive google and forum searches but if you know of a post already just link it for me and lock the thread. That being said I've noticed recently that almost every mission regardless of level always starts me 30-40k away from the first acceleration gate now if there was stuff to shoot during that travel I wouldn't mind but its just empty space with nothing but slow boating I was curious if this was an actual change or if by accident I somehow messed up a setting in my client any help would be greatly appreciated and again I apologize if this has been discussed already.

I'm guessing you're doing Level 4's. I see this regularly and it's based largely on the mssion. EVE Mission Reports can give you a good idea on how far you'll be from any gate(s) in the mission as well as rat spawns.

Some missions, i'm 30k, a couple last night I was 5k. It depends on the mission but there's no config setting to alter this to my knowledge.

Thanks for the quick response I didn't think there was but I thought they may have changed something cause about 6 months ago I did 4s regularly without this issue so I wasn't sure if something changed or not it's kind of annoying makes you have to fit a prop mod min you I almost always do its just such a waste of time but I digress.

I haven't noticed any changes. and the one mission that did spawn me ~10km away had a few things (frigs/dessies) to shoot at, they were all dead by about 9km so a prop mod would have been nice as slow boating sucks.

I haven't noticed any changes in L4 missions.

You have probably changed "Default Warp to Within" distance:

- Get outside in space.
- Select any celestial object.
- Right click on your second option in "Selected Item" (warp to within) window and select an option 'Set Default 'Warp To Within' Distance".
- If the number is 40000, then you've set it somehow. Restart it to 0.

If that was not an issue, contact the support.

I always land 0 to 10km from the Mission accelation gate.
