You can unlock the gate, but there's nothing there except the station.

Really? You can unlock it without hacking the game files?

I saw a jump gate to Alaska in New York. But it is totally surrounded by mines. I don't know how to get through.

...and I've circled the whole minefield looking for the passage you took in the SP campaign, but can't find it. Unless there's a super-secret jump hole that no-ones found yet (I've got friendly with all the terrorist/pirate factions so I can explore those undesirable regions in the vain hope of finding one), I can't see any other way of getting there than the mined-off jump gate in New York.

Its not about what's IN the Alaska system, whoever said there's nothing there, its about being ABLE to go there. I want to visit the place, note 'ha, thats where I wiped the floor with a Nomad fighter... and there's where I wiped the floor with a Nomad fighter, and there's where I srubbed a star with a Nomad fighter, and there's where I took a Nomad fighter, dismantled it and ate the pieces...'. Y'see? Its the principle.

The passage is simple to find. Basically, stay vertically level with the trade lanes and jumphole (everything is at approx the same height - stay around this level). Now, sight on the jumpgate. You know how they're tapered at one end (the end that opens up when you jump through)? Position yourself on that end at the outside edge of the minefield. You should see the hole near you (it's pretty big).

Lets see if I can explain myself a little bettwe with a diagram:

XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXX =>---------O
XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX

X's are mines, the => it the jumpgate (with the pointy end being the one you need to line up with). The -'s are an imaginary line between you and the Gate, which needs to pass all the way through the gate, spearing the pointy end, with you being the O.

Once you find the passage, you'll smack yourself in the forehead - it's not hard to find, nor is it particularly long (only 1-3 klicks...the open area with the Gate is pretty huge).

Also, the passage lies approximately in line with the most direct route from Buffalo Base (in the badlands) to the Alaska gate. Going from Buffalo to Alaska should get you approximately in line with where you need to go, I think.

It's easier than that... just look at the way the jumpgate is heading. The tunnel through the mines is straight "in front of" the jumpgate (if you went straight out of the jumpgate).

I can't get in there either in MP or SP after the story line.

I can go through the gate...no problem at all

What we do na?

No, the JG gets locked after the story and in MP so you can't get to Alaska at all. Or Tohoku, or Omicrons Major and Minor. Kinda sucks.

I'm sick of seeing all your signatures and not having one of my own

I know about the Jump Gate in the New York system. Thats how you get to Alaska in the SP game. But even if you get to the Jump Gate through the mine field, its locked. (I know, I used the God Mode Cheat to get through the mines)
What I'm looking for is a Jump Hole in any of the surrounding systems. Any leads on where a Jump Hole might be? Someone a few posts back said there was nothing there except a station (sorry I didn't get your name), but its just one those things. You gotta go there yourself. I am sure the explorer in all of you can appreciate that.

true.. curiosity kill the cat.. but godmode will not... i still cant find the jump hole to alaska any absoloute coordinates?

The ONLY way into the Alaska system is the JumpGate in the New York system. That's all...there is no other way.

Isn't the Juneau Shipyard also in Alaska?
