Distances in Eve.

1 AU is the average distance from the sun to the planet Earth. Around 150 million KM.

On-board directional scanner has a range of 14.3AU (2,150,000,000km)

1AU = 150,000,000km
2AU = 300,000,000km
4AU = 600,000,000km
8AU = 1,200,000,000km
16AU = 2,400,000,000km

Sentry guns will shoot you up to 150km from what they are guarding (gate/station)
You cannot warp to something if it's 150km or less from you.



Security Status.

If you have a security status of -1.9 or above you can enter hi-sec freely. Below that depends on the security status of the system vs your own security status.

-2.0 or worse will be attacked in 1.0 systems
-2.5 or worse will be attacked in 0.9 systems
-3.0 or worse will be attacked in 0.8 systems
-3.5 or worse will be attacked in 0.7 systems
-4.0 or worse will be attacked in 0.6 systems
-4.5 or worse will be attacked in 0.5 systems

ECM and ECCM

Easiest way to tell is the colour of the jammer is the same as the faction it effects best. e.g. Blue - Caldari. Pity they don't colour code the ECCM!

Amarr - Radar
Caldari - Gavimetric
Gallente - Magnetometric
Minmatar - Ladar (or they just look out of the window)



Trade Hubs

Whilst Jita 4-4 is the main trade hub in the game, there is a trade hub for each of the Empires.

Amarr - Amarr
Caldari - Jita (Main trade hub in game)
Gallente - Dodixie
Minmatar - Rens
