The beam seems to extend equally in both directions...am I blind or something? :( I've always figured myself to have good vision, I don't wear glasses or anything.

They all remind me of a cannon just look for the built up end and assume its the base, then envision yourself being fired down the shaft while the opposing kinetic energy of the push goes the other way.

Judging from the expression on your face, you don't look pleased by what you saw.

This is how you can tell. If there is a bright star on at the end, that is the destination.


Other than that, can't think of anything.

It should be possible to learn to navigate by the stars now.

Eh, from what I understood on the EVElopedia, you aren't actually "shot" in the direction of the beam, but rather teleported through a artificial wormhole/tunnel.

Though, graphically, it would seem CCP has decided to go for a more obvious visual effect which does seem to suit the jump-gate graphics a lot better.

Stargates don't shoot you....they "hurl" you. Other players shoot you.

They always shoot you to the left.

You may have to adjust your camera angle to see this properly.

If for some reason it shoots you to the right, you're looking at the back side of the gate. Look at the other side next time.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.
