Minimum warp distance

So as people probably know the minimum warp distance is currently 150km (and potentially works on shorter distances if not on same grid?) and with the upgrade to the sensor overlay, bookmarks in space, you can quite easily make bookmarks that can cover entire grids to use as a way to close distance which would atm need to be a faster ship that could get a distance of atleast 150km. Ofc its possible to this already but since the bookmarks arnt showing up on the grid atm its a lot harder to know which of the bookmarks you would need to warp to and this grows harder with each additional bookmark there is. thus id like to see the minimum warp distance increased by a substantial amount like 100km or so.

If you have preset up bookmarks then i see no problem with the 150km warps. i would prob bring it down to 100km so it gives the people that spent the time creating them an added advantage.. Its been able to probe a fleet that on grid with you in 5 secs and then warp to them at any range that's the big killer. limits a lot of possibility good and interesting fleet comps.

nevermind. I read it wrong.. I think.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Really you just need to have a naming scheme for your bookmarks to know where they are at in any given grid. From there, since they introduced micro jump drives, it seems like it made each grid alot smaller since you can travel 100 km within 10 seconds in a battleship. So if anything, the minimum warp to distance should be increased to give snipers a bit more room to breathe.

Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.

Personally, I like the minimum warp distance at 150km.

No thanks. Why change something so substantial if it isn't broken? Having it at 151km allows for very dynamic combat using tacticals. Anything longer than 151km would make that impractical.
