Jumping to other galaxies

As you all know, I am a noob....

I would like to get to the pearl system to build cash, but I can only get to one other system through the gate. What am I doing wrong? I have used the coordinates from other players links (THANK YOU) but it tells me my jump drive cant go that far. I have the 2nd jump drive on my ship (noob Merc ship) and am stuck.

Thanks Again,
-Gun

Press F1 to open your Navigation Console. Use the buttons on the right to filter out everything except jumpgates. The same series of buttons also lets you select the Quadrant map ... showing which star systems are connected by gates.

The class 1 jump drive is a bit wonky ... sometimes it sends you in circles. The first thing you should buy is a class 2 or better ... dock at any station, enter the station, and upgrade as required.

If you can't reach a gate (to far for that jumpdrive) use AutoPilot and you will get there ina couple of jumps.

Keep your ids off as you go through the gates, so you maintain some speed coming out. Some gates go through hostile territory and all ai ships will shoot at you if you get in range. The thubans have a nasty tendency to park capital ships near the gates to punish people for tresspassing. Keep moving as you plot your next jump.
