EVE Online

hey guys, i love eve online and ive played it on 2 occasions, ive just had to stop after a few month's of play just because real life gets in the  way and i can't give enough time to eve to make it worth while

but i still have a few questions

1- would it be worthwhile to keep my subscription active and just log  to train the skills when they are due? or might as well not to and wait till i get enough time to dedicate myself to eve only

2- (this is the weird quesion) would it theoretically be possible not to use the jump gates? and fly from 1 system to another just using your regular max speed engines? (note the word "theoritically" is key) or is there at some point a "invisible wall"

pay for a month and train as many skills as you can the 1day or 5 day ones. then when month is close to over make sure you have a skill that takes a long time like 30 days and let the payed time run out you still train that skill over time then when it is over re sub and train up more only thing you need to do is grind out some isk to get new skill books

and to that 2nd question i think you have to use jump gates never met a invisble wall or got to a new system by not using a gate

go get eveMon to help track your skill training even when you are not sub to the game.

cause when your sub runs out you can't log into there web site to see there skill training chart of your character

There is no invisible wall, just time.

Let me elaborate:

1 lightyear = 9.461×10^12 km.

Let's say ganglinked vagabond with oversized mwd (100MN Officer Mwd) running hypothetical 24km/s would need:
3.94x10^11 seconds,
6570138889 minutes,
109502314 hours,
4562596 days,
12500 years...

From a technical standpoint, you need to have a sessionchange, which means getting yourself podded, using a stargate or jumpdrive etc. so you will be moved to another node. It will not happen if you manage to fly the distance into another starsystem. Even if you manage to get there (once there was an unexpected behaviour with scanning that alowed for bookmarks far out), a sessionchange will not happen. You'd show up on the map as being somewhere near the system, but it wouldn't load.

1. yep it is worth it as while you are not palying your Avitar can continue training his/her skills. I used my 3 month break from EvE t get my mining and salvaging skills to 5. Now when i re-cycle loot i get no wast at all 

2. There is no wall but the star systems are light years appart so it would probably take you a few thousand years in real time to get to the nearest one to you.

Yes it would be worth it

and no, in eve you cannot, techincally if you flew in 1 direction long enough, on your map it would look like you are in another system without using a gate. But really you would still be in the same system you started in. Gate=session change, no session change means no new system.

Correct, systems are essentially zones, and you have to zone in-out to get somewhere else.
