Hmm... In Severed Dreams, there's a scene while Ivonova is flying
towards the enemy starfuries, and the computer is giving a countdown
of the range: "800km... 700km...". Given the speed at which the count
drops, I'd guess both sides are closing at ~100km/s!

Anyway, it suggests range to jump gate is somewhat higher than this.
