The Shape of the Universe
The universe in AE is not as simple as 00-69, it is not linear. Each galaxy cluster (00-09,10-19) is linear however how the different clusters link varies. Similarly we do not have all the x9 galaxies linking to the x0 galaxies either. The universe has a starting point and an ending point.
A gateway galaxy is the galaxy that allows you to fly into another cluster, and thus prevents you from flying from, say 67 to 43 directly. To do that you would need to fly to the 6x cluster gateway to the 4x cluster gateway and then onto 43.
The 00-09 galaxies are the beginning cluster, with the 09 galaxy being the gateway to the rest of the universe. Similarly the highest numerical cluster, in Ceti for example 60-69 are the ending galaxies. C60 is the gateway to the rest of the universe in this cluster. For the other clusters however there are two gateway galaxies per cluster. These gateways are x0 and x9. The x9 clusters can link to any other x0 galaxy except 00. Similarly the x0 gateways can link to any x9 galaxies except the top galaxy. The image below explains this a little better.
The distance between galaxies is very important for ship travelling as the distance tells you how long it is going to take for the ships to arrive. In addition the distance between bases is used as one of the stats in calculating the amount of credits you gain from Trade Routes.
When jumping from one cluster to another there is a distance of 2000 which is crossed. This does not change from cluster to cluster. Inside the cluster however there is 1800 in distance. This is from x0 to x9. Each galaxy is 100 distance from one side to the other, and 100 distance between each. This means that the maximum amount of distance from one galaxy to another in the AE Universe is 5600.
An example would be thus: 00-29 (5600) = 00-09 (1800) + 09-20 (2000) + 20-29 (1800)
Thus if you wanted to move from the low h01 to h31 and you wanted to use the jump gate in h28 that would mean you would travel to h09 wich is 1600distance then you would go H09-H20 wich is 2000, then you would travel to H28 wich is 1600, then you would use the jump gate for 200 distance to h29, where you then jump to h30 wich is 2000 distance and then to h31 wich is 200 distance. so that is a total of 7600
Where as if you went h01-h31 direct it would be H01-H09=1600+H09-H30=2000+H30-H31=200 which gives you a total of 3800
now if you used a lvl1 jump gate from H01 and then switch to a lvl2 In H28. that would mean you traveled 5200 a whole 1600 more just so you could use a lvl2/3 jump gate to move another 2400.
where you could have done it with your lvl 1 jump gate in only 3800 distance.
Pls always refer to this info when you plan on traveling very far.
