Differences Between Jump Gates and Accelerators?

[Navy~]

Is there any in terms of trade ranges? becouse i know there is differences between jump gates and highways , but what about jump gates and accelerators. Right now theres none i can see. For example i have miners in the Free Families Sectors and they can't sell in the adjacent sector. (level 0 auto miner)

[eMYNOCK]

The transition from one Sector Hex into another Sector Hex is counted as 1 Jump.

There is technically no difference between a Gate, Accelerator or Superhighway as all of them lead into an other Hex (System or Sector) on the Universe Map.

But I have seen my sector autominers use Superhighways, for example if I put them in Grand Exchange.

[Gregorovitch]

Yes, others are reporting sector miners working freely in all three parts of Grand Exchange for example. Indeed I 've just seen some of mine have all migrated to the same part of it.

Confusion reigns here at the moment.

Dear eMYNOCK, a SuperHighway is NOT a Jump Gate or an Accelerator, so Sector miners can cross, this also happens in Black Hole Sun and Hewa's Twin.
P.S. If it did not happen we would all be dead in the water from the start of the game rendering it unplayable.

yes it seems that jump gates and accelerators are 2 different things after all, in terms of mining vessel taking in the account the ranges of selling although im experiencing some problems with autominers (level 0 miner) in tharka's revine XVI, miners there won't travel in adjacent sectors even if they are connected by accelerators

Maybe the sector is actually the whole 2-3 "subsectors" connected by accelerators? like Zyarth's dominion's I , IV and X. 3 sectors and Tharka's Revine 3 sectors and Memory of Profit there the 2 sectors, Second Contact 2 sectors.. etc. It makes sense since accelerators only moves you closer to the planet or to the black hole, but you are still in the same sector. i dont know anymore.

It all starts with Systems and Sectors.
A System is something like a Solar System as a whole.
A Sector is a defined location inside a System.
Several Sectors inside the same System are considered Super Sector "Grand Exchange, Trinity Sanctum, etc.)

Gates connect Systems.
Super Highways and Accelerator are connections from Sector to Sector inside a System.

A Sector Miner as an example has permission to operate in the whole Super Sector that's why they use Super Highways and Accelerator
A Sector Miner would not for work purposes use a Gate unless told by the Player as it is outside the (Super)-Sector.

Confused yet?

I don't really care how they are called, im just interested if "jump gate range" is just that "jump gate range" or is "accelerator jump range" too becouse if there is no difference in gameplay why not call all of them jump gates so next time you`ll know how to place your stations and traders/miners. but thanks for clarification Alith-Ahnar. Oh and if there are namings to be changed please change the "mining drone" name too becouse the drone isn't doing any mining , just collecting stuff. Like it is called in the information panel/loadout, as "ore collectors". thanks.

I find that quite THE interesting thing, if you laugh about 1 jump. the trick in the word, germans love this:) Because its a JUMP.

if you ask if they cross jumps, everybody says no.
if you ask if they cross sectors, everybody says yes.
so close and but so afar from each
