I once put 8 microwarpdrives on a scorpion back when you could.

It emptied my cap in three cycles and I ended up travelling at 147 km/sec

It was great Big smile

Lol This reminds me of a test server thing...

An acquaintance of mine was on the test server while you guys were testing dynamically editing the properties of game objects with the servers running. A dev gave the Drake a base speed of like 6km/s and my friend literally MWD'd between deadspace pockets in a mission. Lol

Its bollox. Stargates were in from day 1. Mission/complex launch gates weren't as missions didn't exist, nor did complexes/sites.

Amateur - I got to over 1000km/sec back in the day with the "m0o avoidance kits" Morkt Drakt sold Lol

Maybe a pre-alpha thing? I'd like to know where that rumor came from, if it has any substance. It kinda fits with what seems to have been the early vision of the game.

As to the OP...

in Molden Heath, in either Gulf or Gelf or someplace, the station is close enough to the moon/planet that you can MWD the distance. Something changed over the past couple years so I don't think you can do it now, but at one point I could reliably MWD from the station to the planet, and the planet would bounce me back to the station, which I would then bounce off nearly all the way back to the planet. Not a long distance, but it was pretty hilarious and at insanely fast speeds.

Today, most games have timers that kick you for inactivity, do they not?

No, usually it was us, wiz's and roys. Mine was a localhost connection, so I don't count, but we did have the Dominion Wizard make it to around a year, 352 days.

No, he was not afk unless he was at work, he was just logged in. :P Most of the roys and some of the more dedicated players could easily hit 90 days.


eve doesn't do that and I wouldn't suggest announcing you use methods to avoid anti-afk systems

Uh, I don't use methods to avoid any systems. I was pointing out that I thought those systems were standard. The MUSH has been gone for over a decade, now, so it's kinda old news. I was using it as a comparison, to somewhat light-heartedly comment on how things are, now? You're afk? KICK

No, we didn't do that, but today I'd be surprised if that EVER happened, anywhere. I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I don't make any attempt to cheat, or even meta-game, in any point at all. I don't even have multiple accounts, though that is, apparently legal, as is multi-boxing.

i have a few questions about this. is there a limit beyond which you can no longer create bookmarks or warp to them? like can you keep working on a particular journey, bookmark it and return later after doing missions or something? you know, and continue your journey?

and does the solar system get smaller, like the sun get smaller as you slowboat farther away?

Ever since the "deep safe nerf" there's a limit to how far away from the sun a bookmark can be. It's something like the furthest planet out +8AU or something, I'm not exactly sure.

If the sun actually performed the way it should, you'd notice it even within normal bounds. Considering earth is 1AU from the sun, a system where you're 200 AU from the sun, you should barely even be able to see it, even if it was a giant. Wish they'd get that done sooner rather than later. Would be far more interesting than re-skinning everything for the 6th time.

I was in the system "New Eden" once and i remember that the only planet there was pretty close to its sun.

Looking at that picture, i guess, they have bookmarks pretty far from the sun and planet, more then 8 AU.

Just captured some footage for you all.

https://youtu.be/KWKiwFjjMg4

Grabbed my Gnosis and threw it at the Dodixie star a couple times for your viewing pleasure.

1st kick sends me 1,140,598 Km, Max speed is reached at ~ 2:45 with a top speed of 288,653,472 meters per second.

2nd Kick sends me ~ 1,142,350 Km. I had to collect some numbers after the footage was captured to calculate this number as the map at the end of the video would not show the bookmark location I was using for my landing. So this number is not accurate. Max speed is reached at ~ 4:58 with a top speed of 282,199,968 m/s.

I am also not to sure about the precision of the top speed numbers. The slider on the player I used to review the footage didn't seem to have much precision.

I tried to get the video to upload at a better quality but I don't know it just comes out a bit grainy for me after its uploaded to YouTube. Might have to go ahead and upload it to plays.tv and see how it does on that. Not sure if a crappy monitor would keep it from capturing at 1080p.

I was going to put a CCP Dev quote here from a reply I got about bouncing the Dominix off the star and how the star sizes were supposed to change. But I couldn't find it.

Sounds like fun!

A lot of us players really love the idea of the unknown, getting out there in the deep reaches of space! CCP Falcon, maybe consider something like this the next time you guys are setting up events?

Something deep space, out there! Big smile

One time when the server was having a funny moment it dropped me out of warp mid-way at something like 140,000m/s - but the server dropped before I could do much.

Also made BMs in celestials where you'd get kicked out at silly speeds but can't remember what they were - you'd quickly slow down though.

See my post 2 before yours, I have a video and some speeds written down. Star bumps a gnosis to ~ 288 million m/s.

I decided to do a new short recording of the star kick with the new star graphics that are out now, and my new monitor which allows for me to do 1080p now.

https://youtu.be/T0Mtxzki458 currently uploading, will be live soon.

It is ready for viewing here at plays.tv as well.

Most games do; EVE doesn't. You're perfectly at liberty to log on at 11:something every day and not touch another key until 11:00 the next day. Hence it is possible to travel all day, every day (I remember back before modern big grids someone in English Help spent about a week slowboating between two NPC stations because they felt like it).

However, of course, the interstellar distances are so vast that you can only end up where another system "ought to be" by triggering some kind of bug.

You should read all of the posts in this thread. What exactly are you wanting to do? Some of the methods discussed in this thread are no longer viable. There is a max distance your allowed to create bookmarks from a star these days so once you reach that limit and pass it you will be moved back after each down time and any bookmarks made outside that limit will be moved to within that limit. CCP did that to stop players from making deep safe spots. I was lucky enough to have visited one once, we jumped to it through a titan bridge and it took a couple warp activation's to reach a star gate.
