bumping in a celestial will bump you at speed of light gaining you some days of travel xD
dunno if it's still like this though :)

afk cloaked campers *cough cough*

Because star systems are so large and subwarp velocities are so low, you won't get far.

I remember reading a story like that. Some wormhole PvPers scanned down a ship (i think it was a cruiser) in a wormhole they got into, and when landing on grid, found themselves dozens of kilometres away from the target. The cruiser was traveling at a very high subwarp velocity (something like >10km/s), entirely afk, because the player wanted to see how far he would go.
It took an hour for the wormholers to finally find a way to scan him and catch him. They heard the rest of the story from the target's corpmate.

Largest distance traveled was from the closest accessible system to Jovian space to a system in Jovian space. This happened before my time. You used to be able to stack prop mods (Have multiples and have them all activated at once). Someone did this and spent several days flying towards a Jovian systems star. They didn't actually fly the real distance though it was made possible by some kind of weird way the server calculated your position. After a while the server decided the ship was somewhere else and moved it.

I myself have flown a Dominix and a few other ships including an Orca ( which went further do to mass making it harder for it to slow back down). Several AUs without a warp bubble in a matter of seconds with a star bump assist.

Edit:


Just noticed your comment, I think your right they never made it. It was just that the map said they were there, but like you said it would require a session change and e-warp would mess it up somehow.

More on the flight to Jovian space:

OK, so here is a thought. If a session timer is needed to make this work... bring a Raitaru along and anchor it when you get there? Dock up, there is your session timer.

*I am guessing that the EVE DEVs have already thought of this and added a maximum anchor distance to the Upwell structures... but would that include Jove space?

It's not just a session change. It needs a full blown jump. Each system is considered its own map. If you put down a station on one map, it's on that map, docking in it wouldn't move it, or you, to a different map.

I have heard that in early versions of the game, stargates weren't actually a thing, and you'd jump from system to system by warping to the edge of the system map. And that they changed it to the stargate system to add choke points to drive conflict. No idea how true that is, but it makes me wonder what EVE would be like now if it stayed that way.

There've been ideas floated a while ago about a deep space feature for the game (I believe this was a CCP idea.) That there'd be ways to get out beyond the edges of a solar system where travel and survival would become extremely difficult but you could set up your own little deep space outposts. I don't see this happening now, since CCP has given up on the small group player or even any sense of adventure and instead only devs to make the blobs bigger.

500 000 kms for me. I was travelling towards a large star and it took me a while to reach the bumping point

I must have done about 1,000,00 km once. I went to see the EVE Gate, expecting get to see some ruins, blown-up ships or something. But it was just a hazy light far off in space. And you can't warp to it. So I tried burning to it in my Stiletto. After about 10 minutes of that and the EVE Gate still looking exactly the same, I guessed it was just a graphic and not a reachable object and gave up. Felt kind of noob-like too.

The longest legitimate travel at this point is probably one of the roving collection of cans and bookmarks that people have created and collectively added to over the years pointed out towards the Eve Gate.

This is my favorite thread ever. I am fascinated with these concepts. I'd like to see the game use deep space more. great post by Tuttomenui II especially
