Ability to add alliance jump bridges as a signature

[Ross Dobson]

I saw in a other issue that you can add a signature with the type GATE - which is incredibly, incredibly useful for mapping out space that my alliance holds.

I wonder if it is already able, or would be possible, to be able to add Alliance Jump Bridges in a similar fashion? My corp lives primarily in a wormhole, but the rest of our alliance bases out of Null and we sometimes jump-clone down there.

The problem is that they hold some random systems that aren't contiguous with the rest of their held space (these systems contain the jump bridges); I suppose I could just add the bridges as gates, but it would be nice to be able to show the difference. I don't wish to add blue's systems in between so that I don't accidentally go in there and run their sites/collapse their wh's. I suppose I could just use Dotlan, but its easier to have it all in one window, especially as I spend most of my time in the wh.

Many thanks for making an awesome piece of software that makes our lives that little bit easier :)

I could simply add another type like "GATE" called say "JUMP"? I could also modify the line in the chain map for those - however I do not know what would be unique and visible.

What are your thoughts?

[Ross Dobson]

Adding a JUMP type seems like the best idea - perhaps a dashed version of the grey/white already used by GATE? Or maybe an Orange, like the Jump Reactivation timer in game - it could get confused with the mass destab/crit lines though... no, I think a dashed version of GATE shows how they are similar in that they are not wormholes, but distinguishes stargate from jump bridge.

I had a brief idea last night that it could make sense to distinguish from coalition/blue-owned and alliance-owned Jump Bridges, but in hindsight I don't really think it's actually necessary - they operate in exactly the same way, after all.

Also, if both GATE and JUMP were added to the little key/legend, they might be noticed by more people - I didn't know GATE existed until I saw it on another issue on BitBucket!

tl;dr JUMP is good, dashed version of GATE line?

Let's put this on hold for now. The idea is sensible but CREST support will be more vital
