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. | When you jump into a stargate you will land in the next system, 12 km away from the gate.

When you drop out of a stargate, you will be protected by a jump cloak which renders you invisible as well as invulnerable for 60 seconds. This is a game mechanic to make sure people jumping into a system have time to load the system without people waiting in that system being able to engage you right away. The time remaining on your jump cloak timer is shown, usually at the top-left of the screen. | [[file:jumpcloak.png|right|alt= Screenshot of Jump Cloak Timer|Jump Cloak Timer]] | ||

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. | If you jump into a system in low- or null-security space and find the gate [[Gate camps|camped]] by hostiles, '''don’t panic'''.
