Also the momentum and sudden introduction of planetary bodies and their gravity fields upon the ship could cause some tears in the hull, sucks if you're in that compartment]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5152658.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5152658.page GMT Warp jump near a planet http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5152708.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5152708.page GMT Warp jump near a planet Has anybody got a rough safeish distance I could work with please, but it has to be in-system.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5153111.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5153111.page GMT Warp jump near a planet http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5153155.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5153155.page GMT Warp jump near a planet http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5153189.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5153189.page GMT Warp jump near a planet

Next closest explicitly stated distance was tens of millions of miles as per the old 'Eye of Terror' novel, but that isn't terribly precise.

The Ravenor novels and a few others (like Rogue Star) have starships emerging 1-2 AU from the nearest habitable planet.

By and large, though, the bulk seem to favor billions of km (Chaos Child by Ian Watson, Space Fleet/Rogue Trader, Execution Hour, and a few others.) which seems to be te 'typical' distance for the vast majority of Imperial starships (particularily civilian) so it leads me ot believe some billions of km is the closest 'safe' distance.

If you have a good navigator (CF Wolfblade) and good technology (again Savage Scars) you can of course get closer.

Other races like the Orks have made closer warp jumps - in Rynn's World (which reproduced the events in the Index Astartes entry for the Crimson Fists) the Orks dropped out of the warp within 10 planetary diameters (about half a light second) to attack... but many of their ships were destroyed in the translation.

Based on that and my own vague guess, I'd say 1 AU of a planet is perhaps the closest you want to try entering/exiting the warp.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5153628.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5153628.page GMT Re:Warp jump near a planet
Plus the gravity could pull all sorts of nasty warp stuff into realspace.


Thats not to say you couldn't make a Warp jump in the middle of a system. it would just be an act of desperation or something like that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5153896.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5153896.page GMT Warp jump near a planet RPG says on the topic( as it deals with ships heavily).

p. 318 RT
The safe point is indeed the edge of the star system. Activating the warp drives before hand if one is lucky just knocks you a 1000 or so light years off course . Most common result is the total destruction of the ship as it is torn apart by an unstable warp transit.


In other words never try it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5154067.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5154067.page GMT Warp jump near a planet http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5154069.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5154069.page GMT Warp jump near a planet http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5154082.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5154082.page GMT Warp jump near a planet
Didn't the einstien do an in system jump. She was badly damaged before hand, but she made it.

That ship if I recall ran and ran a long long way being chased the whole time before it jumped.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5154249.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5154249.page GMT Warp jump near a planet

Certainty of death or a 1% chance to live...I like those odd. I'l just have to figure a way to get them as close to the edge as possible before the jump, still going to be dangerous though.

Plot armour, I believe the navigator wasn't anything special on that ship.

One thing you could say is that they attempted a warp jump at one of the system's lagrange points. The space there is relatively 'flat' but it's a moving point and 'small' I guess you could say, so that could give you the wiggle room to let them get away with an in-system jump, while also explaining any damage that would result. Plus it gives a chance to show off tricky smarts and mad piloting skills.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5154926.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5154926.page GMT Warp jump near a planet ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5155066.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5155066.page GMT Warp jump near a planet lol.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5155146.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499139/5155146.page GMT Re:Warp jump near a planet In basic layman terms a point between the planet and the star where the gravity 'pulls' from them cancel each other out. (More precisely, the Lagrange Points mark positions where the gravitational pull of the two large masses precisely cancels the centripetal acceleration required to rotate with them, but meh.)

I'm going to get them to do a emergency lagrange point jump to minimize the damage done though.

Exactly. If they can't outrun it, they can outfight it.
