There are two main forms of travel: Interstellar Travel and Space Travel
Interstellar Travel
In New Eden, there are no daring old pilots.
-Juan Rico, retirement speech, YC15
New Eden is vast and boundless. Thousands of systems, all connected by Stargates, form a massive transport network. As capsuleers, the stars are where we belong.
Regular Propulsion
You can move around in space in the following manners
Approaching
Makes you travel towards the target at a regular speed. Can be used to
- Approach nearby targets;
- Head towards targets further away.
Orbiting
Orbit around the target at a regular speed. You can use it to keep a certain distance from the target to protect yourself.
Docking
Dock a ship to a station in space, in this manner you are safe from any harm and also you can access the stations services
Faster-than-light Travel
In AD21290, the Amarrians built the first ever Stargate between the Amarr system and the Hedion system, marking the beginning of modern intergalactic colonization.
Warping
Travel toward the target at faster-than-light speeds, to traverse distances of multiple AU. It is used to quickly reach distant destinations (150 KM and beyond).
Jumping
Is a way to instantly move to other planetary systems via Stargates
Space Travel
In theory, traveling at near-light speed, we could make a trip around the known universe in what, to us, would be a matter of decades. We would return, tens of billions of years later, to the remains of a New Eden that had long since burned.
Interstellar Navigation
That same concept applies to EVE Echoes. New Eden has almost 10000 star systems and each one of them are huge, so one cannot move through them at normal speeds, that is why there are a few systems in place to make sure you arrive at your destination at a reasonable amount of time.
Star Map
A map containing bookmarks of all known systems in New Eden. Approved by CONCORD, this map is essential to interstellar travel.
You can use it to:
- View current location
- Search for destination system
- Set navigation destination
Autopilot
Turn on autopilot and let the ship follow a set route to the destination.
Overview
Displays all objects and signatures that can be scanned in the current system.
You can use it to:
- View objects and signatures in the current system
- Perform actions on the target.
Operation Ring
An action menu that pops up after tapping on a target in space.
You can use it to:
- Lock onto the target to attack
- Implement combat strategies.
