There is a hole in the mine field, but I honestly can't remember the co-ordinates. Either way it forms part of the story line, so you will get there eventually.
There's really not much point before or afterwards though, as you can't get access to the jump gate outside of the story.

I have a friend (Regnomen) who has downloaded a mod that lets him go to any system used in the story AFTER completing the story! He can also start in any system. Well he started in Alaska and he saw a sun. well he hated the place so he decided to run into the sun. when he did he just bounced off. Funny, right?

We don't own this place, but we have an understanding with the people who do.....

Spoiler forum.

The entrance to the field is near directly in front of the jumpgate itself. Allign yourself with the gate and you can't miss the passage(you might have to adjust course slightly though).

There is an extremely easy way to find the hole in the minefield. Goto Battleship Missouri (or whatever one is in New York) and start heading counterclockwise around the mine field. Every now and then look back at the Alaska gate and check your position compared to it. When you are directly in front of the gate (a few dozen Kilometers away also), you are either in front of the hole, or there is no hole.

Actually you can get the coordinates through the minefield by paying some guy in a bar somewhere in Liberty. I think it's a random encounter and the guy only appears before you complete the story. Maybe even at some level, I don't remember.

I don't remember seeing that. Must be really hard to get like a 1 in 65536 chance.

But why pay money when it is so easy to find the hole ondce you figure out the little trick. The hole is in a stright line with the opening in the JG. So just line up with the alaska JG and the hole should be right beside you or at least very close by.

Its easy to find the hole going IN...its going out that trouble happens besure to leave a WP at the hole or else enjoy mines.

I got a beater way to get to alaska just get the Ubar shild and fly throught but go slow and you get no damage. the resun i say yous a mod is cus there is no resun to go throught the mine field unles you have the mod to open the gate to Alaska eneyway.

Are there any mods out there that allow you to cruise arround Tekagi's Arch and the Nomad layer? I felt those areas where realy cool, and merrit a re-visiting (especialy the dyson sphere). Not a spoiler since if you didn't complete the game you would have no idea what I'm talking about. --- VH16

You can get into Alaska using one of the tools (forget which one) for server ops. What you do is you set up a server and use the tool to put yourself on Prison Station Mitchell in Alaska. Then you can take off and fly around Alaska. A few notes though if you do:
1. you can't get out via the jumpgate, you've got to use the admin thing.
2. There is literally nothing of interest there, 2 stations, only one of which you can dock at (and it has nothing on it anyway, just a black screen and the hanger button and the launch button, and the usual nav map, etc. buttons [of course. There's no bar, no trader, no equip dealer and no ship dealer), some nav bouys leading from one station to the other and a star, not even any ships about apart from yours.
3. It is only good for duels and for penalising troublesome players (so they can't cause problems and can be punished with an inability to use their main character for a short time, this is one of the things we do on out server), otherwise its a waste of time getting in.
