'''Stargates''' (often just “gates”) in EVE are used to jump from one system to an adjacent system. For most pilots in New Eden, gates are by far the most common way to travel from system to system.

~~In [[System_security#High_security|high security space]], gates can't be used by capital combat ships (carriers, force auxiliaries, dreadnoughts, supercapitals and titans)~~.

* '''Old Man Star to Villore gate''': a Gallente stargate that was built inside an asteroid, also a famous landmark with a unique backstory about it.

* '''Smuggler gate''': stargates constructed by pirates, smuggler stargates offer extremely long range jumping between different null-sec regions.

* '''Conduit gate''': conduits constructed by ~~Triglavion~~ Collective, acts as a traditional stargate that offers permanent connections between systems in Pochven.

* '''Conduit gate''': conduits constructed by Triglavian Collective, acts as a traditional stargate that offers permanent connections between systems in Pochven.

* '''Jovian gate''': giant stargates constructed by Jove Empire for jumping from and to [[Zarzakh]].

Additionally, there are some offline stargates in New Eden with their former routes removed from the map:

* '''Disrupted gate''': Stargates sabotaged by Triglavian Collective with mutaplasmids filled their structures, former connections between systems now in Pochven to empire space, permanently closed for interstellar traveling.

When you jump into a stargate you will land in the next system, 12 km away from the gate. As stargates have different sizes, the actual radius where someone lands can be huge. To know how far someone jumping into a stargate will land away from someone sitting on a gate at 0, you can ~~just~~ add the size below to the 12km drop-out range.

== Jumping ~~rights~~ ==

== Jumping restrictions ==

If you have a [[Timers#Weapon Timer|weapon timer]] because you engaged in PvP combat within the last 60 seconds, you cannot jump through a gate. This means that if you attack someone on a gate and your target does not fire back or use offensive modules, but rather jumps through the gate, you cannot immediately follow.

If you have a criminal timer in [[System_security#High_security|high security space]], you cannot jump through a gate unless you are flying a Capsule. This means you cannot use jumping to avoid CONCORD after committing criminal actions.

Stagates to high security space can't be used by ships that can fit capital sized ship modules, this includes carriers, force auxiliaries, dreadnoughts, supercapitals, titans and [[Rorqual]]. Capital ships that cannot fit capital sized ship modules are allowed to jump to high security space, this includes freighters and jump freighters. Jumping from high security space is not restricted if the other side is not a high security space.

Stagates to [[Zarzakh]] can't be used by any capital sized ship, which includes freighters and jump freighters, but not [[Orca]]

Most stargates allow anyone to use them for free, even if they are enemies to the owner faction of the stargate. There are some exceptions:

* Stargates to one of three Triglavian Clade's Home systems (Archee, Kino and Niarja) require 7.00 standing with Triglavian Collective; Jumping from their home systems is not restricted.

* Stargates to Zarzakh demand a fee that start at 10k ISK and increasing with ship mass, unless the user is enlisted with pirates; Jumping from Zarzakh is not restricted.

~~Most~~ stargates ~~allow anyone to~~ use ~~them, even if they are enemies to the owner faction of the stargate~~. ~~The~~ only ~~exception is applied to stargates to~~ one ~~of three Triglavion Clade's Home systems (Archee, Kino~~ and ~~Niarja)~~, ~~which require 7~~.~~00 standing with Triglavian Collective. Jumping from their home systems is not restricted~~.

If a stargate is disrupted by a stellar event or Triglavian activists, it will be temporarily deactivated. Deactivated stargates have their glowing particles disappear, and you cannot use it until it is back online. Stargates might only be disabled for one side and in this case, pilots from the other side can still use it. Most stargate deactivation events last 30 minutes.

== Gate cloak ==

Line 81:

Line 98:

If you jump into a system in low- or null-security space and find the gate [[Gate camps|camped]] by hostiles, '''don’t panic'''. Your gate cloak will give you precious time to assess where you are in relation to the enemy ships, and whether your chances are better returning to the gate or trying to warp out within system.

~~== Gates and timers ==~~

If you have a [[Timers#Weapon Timer|weapon timer]] because you engaged in PvP combat within the last 60 seconds, you cannot jump through a gate. This means that if you attack someone on a gate and your target does not fire back or use offensive modules, but rather jumps through the gate, you cannot immediately follow.

~~Other types of timer do not prevent gate jumps.~~
