Just wondering about jump holes....

Just a thought, I really should try it but I'm lazy but. Do you reckon that you could make a jump hole in one system to another without a jump in the target system or does it require the other one to pin-point its destination?

Curiosity killed the freelancer....

Trying to understand what you mean is difficult. If you mean - can you make a jumphole with only an entrance in one system go to another system and arrive at that system without an exit?

Well - from it being put like that above - what the hell do you think?

Chill out, man your a flamer ain't you Chips 'n' dip??

I was wondering but now i think you'd have to make the jump hole invisible on the end you dont want people to use or lock it...

Thanks anyway for that "intelligent" post Chips

NO downwinder - i aint a flamer at all.....
Intelligent posting? Try EXPLAINING intelligently next time to get a response. Mad ramblings won't make sense, as for 'locking' a jumphole what would be the point?
Lets face it. I wasn't flaming, i was being curt and too the point.
but sod it, i aint the one needing help..... and one thing is for sure, i now won't be helping you anytime soon either.

Chips, Chips, take some Cardamine an calm a bit 'k? I actually understood him perfectly, strangley enough. Lemme put it this way. Can you have a one way jumphole? If I had to say anything Id say: What is the point?

But thats me. Downwind, try to be slightly clearer and dont insult us.
Chips, dont let him work you up, theres no point.

Well, Killzone the forum diplomat has struck again. Killzone, Diplomat.... such Irony......

P.S. Sorry if you didnt want me butting in, I thought I should calm the hostilities a bit......

I don't understand why you guys keep asking what the point is. I can clearly see his point. He wants to make a one way jump from one system to another. Why? So that the return trip is more difficult. I can think of a number of reasons this might be handy or fun to include in a mod. One way jumps would be interesting when it comes to planning out a trade route or best path.

If it were very easy to get TO a particular system, but very difficult to get back OUT, it could make things very interesting.

Broaden your minds.

That being said, I have no idea how to do it because I don't create mods.

Yes, but you have to think. If I went to system A through jumphole in system B, and went to procure err, Cardamine and wanted to do a quick jump there and back, imagine how annoying it would be to wade through more systems than nesseceriy just to get a few credits. And what if everything in those systems hated you? Hard and annoying.
And if a jumphole was to be one way, think also about this: How does it work? I mean were do you come out at the other end if there is no jumphole?

Well, enough ranting.
