There was an oddity last night. In several of my jumps I was tapping the activate button early, before I got to 3000m. At least four times the jump activated at less than 2500m. Since I was being chased by six Orne Guardians that seemed somewhat annoyed for some reason, I was actually sort of happy that it happened, but it does appear to be a bug.

It only happens when your going fast.
Shaves off a good .02 seconds.
So I say leave it go.

It also occurs because the on-screen meter seems to measure from the edges of objects, while the game measures from their centers, so large roids and stations throw it off a bit. The "early jump" can happen at low speed or even while motionless.

Well, it happened when I was boosting, so the first time I thought it was just great timing on my part, since I hit the button just before the meter hit 3000. The second time I was really running for my ass, so I was tapping the button as far out as 2400; it triggered the jump about 2550.

The next time I tested it as an actual experiment, wasn't boosting, and was moving fairly leisurely. It jumped at 26-something.

it takes a couple seconds to actually get in the wormhole ive noticed that if you are turboing it will let you activate it if you are going fast enough that you'll be outside 3000 by the time you enter it

well....atleast the several months i have been using it. Never had it work below turbo before so that's new
