i just try and keep the short list of un scoopable stars in mind. LYTT..
Easy for me to remember since it means "listen" in norwegian.

Ouch, that said the galaxy map now allows you to see star type, VERY useful for when you are somewhere and not finding anything to refuel with, stop with 'ok' tank and look about for refuelable star.1300 light years out and the last 50 or so systems were all the wrong type of stars to refuel at, I didn't think I'd have to go that far without finding a star that wasn't a dwarf. 5 more jumps left, what a waste. Live and learn I suppose.
Another thing to watch out for other than regions of non-scoopable stars is close binaries. If you apprach a binary pair of stars that are really close, you can pop out of hyperspace between them and nicely cook your ship. I took my cobra down to 77% hull doing just that and I was very quick to react to the situation after it happens. Nutter has a fantastic thread with a guide on how to avoid this exact problem. Worth a read BEFORE you do what I did and knoack around 30% of your hull off lol, especially if you are in an Asp.
FOG KBAM! for me
+1 for that ----learned from Nutters guide video " FOG KABAM" ---watch his you tube video to understand star types on the galaxy map
A good idea but possibly not that much help if you're thousands of light years away from populated space
Pick your route carefully. I still can't see the benefit of the 1,000ly route planner. It sounds like a recipe for disaster. I never chart my route further than the distance of my fuel tank to prevent unscoopable stars and binaries/trinaries. So far I've managed to travel 41,000ly from colonized space beyond the core without any fuel issues using this method... in a Sidewinder.
