tests complete

ships up to weight 305kt gated without damage or loss 500.7 ly through a 300/500 gate

306kt ships cannot gate safely at any distance.

ships can gate greater distances (I tested up to 518 ly)

lighter ships can overdistance gate further. (a 100 kt ship could gate 518 ly, but a 305 kt ship could not gate 508.7 ly whereas a 303 kt ship could.

Based on the 4% and 1% for distance and mass in the previous post, I am guessing very light ships can gate 520+ ly (4% over)
and 305 kt ships can gate only 500 (or 505) ly

Good to know. Nice work! Teleport

weight tests are easy, but distance tests are dependent on the map you get.

Perhaps use a medium packed or a large packed? Sherlock
