The systems you guys pointed out:

  • H-PA29 actually only has a short warp (13.87 AU). Are you sure you weren't thinking of the adjacent 9-266Q?


This is correct. I ended up thinking of H-PA because the warp from the H-PA to the BV- gate is the 280au one. But it all takes place in 9-2. Too many tech moons in that area, too many Tidi 280au warps.

Out of interest, were systems 'designed' by CCP staff or generated by some sort of automated program? I have a vague recollection of seeing somewhere that the original starmap was essentially drawn automatically (I might be wrong) but is this also the case for the individual star systems and the layout of celestials within it?

In other words, when I next have to make that 280AU warp in 9-2, should I be cursing a CCP guy who sat down with a pencil and paper around 2001 and said "heh let's put a massive warp here to annoy the future residents" or should I be cursing a random number generator?

I think you should be cursing a RNG. If I remember correctly, the Eve universe took several days to get generated using whatever algorithm CCP used, and used the random number generator seed of "42".

The update will makes things better for interdictors and hics, mostly because the targets they chase down are larger than they are. Super excited for my favorite ship class to get even better.


I refuse to see you as anything but a lock-spewing propaganda machine until you state that the Eris is still utter rubbish and split weapons are terrible.

V89M-R only has a 24.72 AU warp, from OJOS-T to 66U-1P. Maybe it was another nearby system.


OJOS-T is the large system in Great Wildlands, actually, with its long warp being one from the 7JF-0Z gate to V89M-R

edit: it ranks as second longest warp, just above X-7O which you incorrectly said was fourth.

I fly a freighter around Molden heath and there is a fair amount of long jumps in that. I hope this isn't going to take even longer.

Like one year ago players were able to create deep spots using some trick in game , after some patch CCP remove them, some of old deep spots were betwen 250-700au... According to this, in theory every solar system got much large radius than we can imagine.

If it bleed we can kill it.

Solar system? Is this a trick question?

There's only one solar system and we are in it. 8 planets revolving around the sun 'Sol'.

The rest are star systems.

The biggest system I think is UR-MOM. I don't know where exactly this is but I've heard this from a good friend of mine.

Oh wait... ******* troll!

Someone had a deep safe that was over a light year away IIRC. That's something like 70000 AU.

Could you imagine warping to that? Initiate warp, get a coffee, take a dump, go shopping, mow the lawn, get another coffee and you're still only half way?

In an Interceptor?

This was several years ago actually, see this fascinating document. We had one in a system in Fountain which was 1400AU out just after Dominion was released, one of our Titan pilots was using it to warp out to after he DD'd hostile caps on a beacon.

By the time he exited warp his aggression timer from the kill had expired and he could log off safely.
