A question about Jump Holes - Echo 7-7 - 09-28-2011

' Wrote:I say Jump Gates are more dangerous, forcing open temporary Jump Holes from out of nowhere is more dangerous.

I wonder, what if I am on my way through a jump hole and the jump hole on the other end collapses before I jump out...

Jump Gates are safer. They do not collapse and always take you to the correct destination.

You'd likely be permanently trapped within the jump vortex, and if your ship is not destroyed, you would die from lack of supplies.

' Wrote:Ageira tells you to avoid them because they're evil corporate bastards and they make money from building jump gates.

In reality, they are MUCH better than gates. Gate queues even with only a few ships WILL take forever, holes can move entire battleship fleets almost instantly.

I'm quite sure you need to queue for a Jump Hole as well. Don't confuse the quickdock game mechanic with lore.
I don't believe we have solid vanilla evidence demonstrating that Capital Ships utilise Jump Holes.
