How to find jumpgate?

[MACIORELLA]

I started in some system but there is no jump gate around...

You can use long range scanning mode to find distant objects, shift+3 then hold R key for 1-2 seconds and release, you should see a blue energy wave fly out in front of you, do it in all directions around you. Then any stations and gates will show up on map as a white question mark. Fly closer to them and they will show up with the name.

also if you see a stream of ships going in one direction or another, theyre likely heading towards a gate or highway so you can always follow them.

OK - its called accelerator in this game :D

No, that's something else. :p

There are Accelerators, superhighways, local highways, jumpgates, and wormholes.

Basically every external mode of transportation they’ve used in past games.

Excluding jump beacons sadly.

[MACIORELLA]

To be honest I preferred highways from XR - (round tubes) instead of this flat ones, they were much easier to navigate and use imho.

[PrincessXFiFi]

I'd prefer a mix of the two, the round tubes of Rebirth but constant speed of X4 so you're not playing dodgeball the entire time like in Rebirth. You simply bounce off far too often with the flat plane.

To break it down a bit more cleanly:

Accelators

Instantly transports you a shorter distance within a solar system... typically from one sector of the system to another.

Jumpgates

Instantly transports you vast distances bridging solar systems.

Highways

Exist in two variants.

Regular highways have clear end point gateways but you can enter onto the highway at any point. Whilst 'Super' highways are essentially giant loops that span a huge area of space.

Each highway has two lanes each going in a different direction, you can jump on and off a highway at any point you wish by just flying into the highway to jump onto it and get carried in the direction that highway is going, and aim your ship off the highway to jump off it.

Anomalies

Essentially wormholes in space. Many will have a natural repulsion force emitted from them so you'll need to really throw yourself at them to enter. These will transport your ship to another seemingly random point in space (outside of mission specific anomalies which will transport you to pre-scripted locations).

Contrary to some information sources, after entering a wormhole and exiting out the other side from another turning around and entering the wormhole you just exitted from doesn't neccesarily return you where you came from.... so be wary.

Good , thanks! Is there any map of all sectors etc?

Now why ruin the joy of exploration?

[MACIORELLA]

Aaa ok. Just wanted to see if we have any cool colourful systems like in XR (you know the one that are bright not sad, dark empty ones) - the one with lots of ships flying around etc - do we have something like this?

I've spent every moment since release trying to map this game. This is what I have so far. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1580850190

Nice, are the systems colourful and full of life like in XR? Where there is lots of stations - the string of ships looked soo cool. Is this the same here?

I wonder if we will put our stations - will it change economy to be boosting? So more life and ships around?
