Hi there,

i've got two questions, one about buy orders and the other about jumpclones.

- If i place a buy order in a hgh sec system with range set high enough to cover at least one low-sec system, could it happen that someone fulfills the buy order in a low-sec system and i'd have to fetch the items from there ?

- let's say if i've made jumpclones in two different empires while i was on friendly terms with both. If my standing with one of the empires drops below -5 later, can i still jump into my jump-clone in their space or will it no longer be accessible?
I know i'd get attacked in their space if i undocked in that case, but could i jump to the clone ?

Sadly, yes.
Also, buy order range ignores security status, always using the "shortest route" for ranging purposes.
Then again, you don't need to go there personally, you can always set up a courier contract... it will cost you some ISK, but your risk will be practically zero (if you set a large enough collateral to cover the cost of the items there).

You can ALWAYS jump to a jumpclone, regardless of where the jumpclone is located.
Heck, you can even jump into a jumpclone that resides in a 0.0 player outpost that was taken over by somebody else, a station in which you can't even dock anymore (so if you undock, you're not going back - but you can always clonejump out 24h later).

Side-note : you can ALWAYS dock in ANY NPC station regardless of standings.

I'll have to correct you there (albeit it's a bit of nitpicking):
You can't jump to jump clones that are installed in ships (Rorqual, Titans) until said ship is undocked and has activated its Clone Vat Bay. I admit that this is mostly irrelevant to new players, but its still something to keep in mind nevertheless.

Related to jump clones on stations, though, you are correct.
