EVE Online jump planner

Capital movement in EVE Online is a different problem from gate travel, so EO-Map gives it two tabs of its own inside the Routing panel. Jump Range draws what a hull can reach. Jump Planner works out the journey. Both read real jump-drive attributes for 56 jump-capable hulls from the official Static Data Export rather than a hand-maintained table.

Two tabs, two questions

Seeing jump range on the map

Pick a ship class and a Jump Drive Calibration level, and the bubble radius becomes that class's maximum range. The centre system defaults to your selection. At Jump Drive Calibration V the ranges are:

• Supercarrier and Titan, 6 light years.
• Carrier, Dreadnought and Force Auxiliary, 7 light years.
• Command Carrier, 7.5 light years.
• Black Ops and Lancer Dreadnought, 8 light years.
• Jump Freighter and Rorqual, 10 light years.
• Ansiblex and jump bridge, a fixed 5 light years with no skill bonus.

Jump Drive Calibration adds 20 percent of base range per level, so lowering the skill shrinks the sphere as it would in the client. Custom range takes any distance by hand.

Show bubble draws the sphere. Highlight in-range tints only valid targets inside it: while a ship class is selected, highsec never is, because a cyno cannot be lit there. Custom range applies no security rules.

Planning a hull-specific route

The Jump Planner tab wants the hull, not just the class. Fifty-six hulls are selectable, grouped by class, each with its own base range, fuel rate, fatigue multiplier and skill bonuses.

• Origin, waypoints and destination. Ordered stops, added by name or from the map context menu. The planner does not reorder your waypoints.
• Skills. Jump Drive Calibration, Jump Fuel Conservation and, on jump freighters, the Jump Freighters skill, each set by hand from level 0 to 5.
• Route mode. Jump only is the default and minimises jump activations. Allow stargates inserts gate legs where they make the trip faster.
• Avoidance. Systems and whole constellations can be excluded as hard limits for midpoints and gate hops.

What a finished plan tells you

A plan opens with a summary: jumps, gate hops, jump distance, fuel, cargo volume, and time rows kept separate. Show legs expands the per-leg detail, and the Route Systems window stays the system-by-system table.

• Fuel in units of the isotope or ozone that hull burns, with cargo volume in cubic metres, after your fuel skills.
• Jump cooldown is official reactivation time, with fatigue accumulated along the jump legs under the five-hour fatigue and thirty-minute cooldown caps.
• Gate travel is a modelled 45 seconds per stargate hop. Stargates generate no fatigue, so this is never presented as jump wait.
• Journey time appears only when a route mixes both.

The model knows nothing of bubbles, gate camps, session change, cyno light time or jump spool, so treat its timings as a floor rather than a promise.

Legality rules the planner enforces

Getting these wrong is what makes a hand-drawn jump route fail in the client.

• A jump drive never lands in highsec, whatever the hull.
• Capitals cannot be in highsec at all, so they never gate into it either. They may still take stargates in lowsec and nullsec.
• Jump Freighters and Black Ops are the exception to that second rule: they may leave highsec by jump and gate back into it.

Midpoints have their own preference: Prefer NPC-station midpoints sits under Advanced Options and is on by default, because a midpoint you can dock and refuel at beats a bare system. A required stop inside an avoided constellation is kept and named as a conflict rather than dropped.

Where the hull data comes from

Ranges, fuel rates, fuel types, fatigue multipliers and applicable skills all come from the pinned official EVE Online Static Data Export, build 3464040, covering the 56 jump-capable hulls the planner offers. Two further rows in that table are jump-bridge structures rather than ships, so they are left out of the hull list. Nothing is typed in by hand, so a rebalance arrives with the next data build. The skill bonuses come from the same source: 20 percent range per Jump Drive Calibration level and 10 percent less fuel per Jump Fuel Conservation level.

How to open it

1. Open EO-Map and click Routing in the left rail, or use the direct link below.
2. The panel opens on Point to Point, so pick the Jump Range or Jump Planner tab.
3. For Jump Range: choose a ship class and a Jump Drive Calibration level, then set a centre system.
4. For Jump Planner: choose the hull, set your skills, enter origin and destination, and add waypoints or avoidances from the map.
5. Press Plan route, read the summary, then expand the legs for detail.

Part of EO-Map

Both tabs live inside EO-Map's interactive 3D map of New Eden, which matters more here than for gate routing. A jump is a straight line through real space, so seeing the sphere and the legs against the actual positions of stars tells you what a table of names cannot.
