Unactive jumpgates? - xit - 07-27-2005 I were today happily flying around in the New York system, going down to the New York -> Magellan jumpgate. But when I arrived at it, I just got the message that I couldn't dock with it, and it was non-operational or something like that. Now I wondered if it was just a temporary thing, so flew around a little, even back to West Point, but it was still non-operational. So now I ask: is it a bug, or is it on purpose that it's shut down? Or is it just me? Unactive jumpgates? - Igiss - 07-27-2005 There's a purpose - it's a singleplayer jumpgate, and for multiplayer it's normally shut down. However I did unlock all singleplayer jumpgates and jumpholes in Discovery mod, except for this one. It makes cardamine route from Mactan to Manhattan way too easy. Unactive jumpgates? - xit - 07-28-2005 Ok, thanks for the info. I just use it as a fast way to get to Leeds, didn't even know about the Cardamine route. Then again I've never befriended the Hackers, so never had any use of the Mactan base. :D Unactive jumpgates? - Wrath - 07-28-2005 It's a really great jumpgate..... it's a shame we couldnt fix a few things to use it. But closing it is simpler so I don't blame you. Unactive jumpgates? - Igiss - 07-28-2005 I closed this gate intentionally, I could leave it open. This is not a great jumpgate; it provides a cheap and short traderoute. Manhattan -> West Point -> Jumpgate -> Mactan and back, that's all, and you make 700 per 1 cargo unit on each run. Almost no risk (only 2 small areas with police, near West Point and Manhattan). And very short. If you fly through California, there are 4 points where you can be scanned, and the route becomes much longer. That's why that cheater jumpgate is locked. Unactive jumpgates? - Wrath - 07-28-2005 No you misunderstand... I mean for getting around the universe it is a great jumpgate.... But I understand why you closed it. Also let me just say being scanned doenst matter at all for runing cardamine. Unactive jumpgates? - Igiss - 07-28-2005 If you are very unlucky and get scanned right when you exit the tradelane, and if there are Liberty navy capships flying around... these guys might destroy a freighter in seconds. Unactive jumpgates? - Wrath - 07-28-2005 Thats not what I meant.... in multiplayer you can completely cheese the police with f1.

Yeah, good old F1. :crazy: I've never seen so many players joining the server without apparently quitting! :unsure: |
