Dear fellow Pilots and Devs,

to shorten travelling in non nullsec space, also to give a sneek peek for new players of jump bridges' mechanics, some dedicated NPC corporations (Navy Corps?) should have JB's near their stations. It's usage could be allowed based on the standing towards them, with a price of the fuel used based on ship mass.

This way it could be easy for mission runners to relocate assets from their low-level agent's mission hubs to higher levels, and a good camp zone for corp wars, not to mention a little income to the NPC Corporations. An easily implementable idea, that gives more enjoyable playtime and less boring travelling time to new players, it also spices up the game with navigation planning for experienced players who needs to run through hisec or lowsec for various tasks (like taking out LP built up from running anoms).

If you like this idea, please give it a hug,

Cheers,

Salvia

This was something I was thinking about when the jump drive changes were announced, being able to link a couple of the systems separated by a regional gate would mean I would be able to deal with the 5ly limit on JF's.

But saner minds in my alliance asked me who would fuel it, who would stop being camping it because once a JB was known it would be like a magnet for those who wished to kill anything using it. That's the main reason its not a viable idea, any would be camped mercilessly and a lot of people would lose ships. Even if there were protective guns.

I see no reasons to implement such a thing.
How would it be better than the current gate travel especially in light of the up coming long distance travel changes?
Other than funneling ISK into the wallets of th NPC who would benefit from this?
Some things are best left to use in a very select regions of spce and jump bridges are one of them.

OP, NPC owned jump bridges are generally called 'stargates'.

Hope this helps.
