Problems with Space Navigation All objects in space move in their own orbits It is not about covering distance, but about changing speeds Using traditional methods, Space Flight is either very slow, or very expensive Fortunately, we have: Jumpgates

Jumpgates Provide instantaneous transportation between two points is space Do not require a spaceship to spend energy When exiting a jumpgate, a spaceship will have the orbital velocity of that jumpgate Jumpgate orbit the Sun at various distances; these orbits are called Rings.

Problems with Jumpgate 1 Points must lie on a line deviating less than 9, 42 degrees from the greatest gravitational vector. It is possible to travel between rings, but not within rings. Jumpgate links are not fixed. Mostly, a jumpgate links to the nearest jumpgate up or down the biggest gravitational vector. Sometimes, they do not …

Problems with Jumpgates 2 Jumpgates can not be too close too each other, as the gravitational radiation will interfere with their functioning or will cause them to collide Jumpgates can not be too close to large masses (like asteroids or planets) for the same reason.

Problems with Jumpgates 3 Orbits of jumpgates have chaotic perturbations due to ill understood gravitational radiation leakage effects; orbital positions can not be exactly calculated No reflection of any radiation; almost invisible to any sensor system

Problems with Jumpgates 4 Using a jumpgate in a certain gravitational direction builds up gravitational radiation, that blocks it for use in the opposite direction for a certain time. Jumpgates are unstable. Buildup of gravitational radiation is chaotic, and can lead to unpredictable implosions. . .

Problem with Jumpgates 5 So you think 4 sheets with problems is not enough ? Brush up on your math and meet Prof. dr. Isaak Oldton, Phd. , Dphil, Msc. , MA. , the leading expert on jumpgate theory That is, if you manage to distract his attention from his equations for long enough to listen to your question …
