First Flight
You will enter the Void Cascade universe at Alterra, Cygnus Prime and immediately start gaining Trading experience. Using the command line, you can warp to a different site such as the State Military Academy by entering the command warp State_Military_Academy. It is important you use underscores in place of spaces for site names. You will not be able to warp to a site without them.
To move between systems, you will need to warp to a Jumpgate, approach the gate, and issue the jump command to activate the gate. In Cygnus Prime, there is only one Jumpgate you can use. Enter the command warp Jumpgate_Magnar_Solis to warp to it. Once you've arrived, approach the gate by entering goto -12,-10. Finally, to activate the gate, enter the command jump Magnar_Solis. After a short period, you should arrive at Jumpgate - Cygnus Prime in Magnar Solis.
