Horizons I Would Think Micro Jumps Would be Added by Now

[Admiral Stavanos]

In the real world, I knew about Proxima Centauri and how it is part a a binary system concerning Alpha Centauri as the parent star.
What I didn't know is that my destination (Eden) is 0.22Ly. Do the math....

There should be a hyper-drive subsystem that is available for activation after a certain distance within a system.
As of me typing here....ETA 1:06:10

Don't need the math, been there a few times for the Mug...

When there do collect the rare mugs. At least you'll have some profit from Hutton!

Time for a good read - if the NPCs let you.

Plus, there is a very good chance that there is never going to be micro jumps, at least for that system. The Hutton run is supposed to be just like it is.

A whole community born out of the decision not to include micro-jumps.. I can't see them being added anytime soon.
Hutton Truckers have had events both irl and in game (Helped run Lavecon).
They've been on livestreams with the developers, they have a radio, they have mugs and badges and other cool stuff. They have a minor faction in game.

And thats just one example and one reason. I could add more such as the universes' size etc.

Personally I just think they need to upscale rewards to account for the long distance similar to how Soethis and Ceos gives higher rewards.

I think there is some scaling for that implemented. I've noticed when I get missions that are... suspiciously lucrative for what they are, they frequently end up involving really long supercruise trips (none so long as Hutton, but I know better than to accept missions to Alpha Centauri!)

If there were micro-jumps, that lonely outpost would be just yet another unremarkable outpost amongst many thousands of others. Due to the lack of them, it was the home of the most memorable event that ever was in this game.

Hubble Orbital has never made any sense to me. Why on earth jump to the heaviest mass in the system, then set up a base 0.22LY away? Surely you'd have a trading station nearer the main mass star, then truck out to whatever is further out. It really does beggar belief, that and similar systems with outposts in excess of 500,000LS away from your arrival point.

Super cruise is a game defining feature that has spawned many new game features and gameplay such as interdictions, piracy, uss. Micro jumps would render super cruise essentially useless. Complete free from travel has always been the Elite way and hopefully will continue do be so. Systems and objects that exist at a great distance from the parent star offer an interesting element of exploration and time investment. Sometimes you just have to travel a long distance to see whats there.

There is one near the main star.

I have never been to Hutton Obital. But I intend to in this decade. Not because it's easy but because it's hard!

Well if sitting in supercruise for 90 mins is hard - yes But everyone should do it once (or 20 times for a CG!)

Will do! ��

 

[Nick Sticks]

No micro jumps please. I like the idea of something taking a long time to get there.

Interesting. So there is an incentive. My run dealt in salvage. Either way, my trip was uneventful as is the case when I command from my Vulture.

That makes sense! The radio part I mean. So that's what I've been listening to. Didn't know something elaborate had spawned out of a 0.22Ly trip.

Lol! Yes I've learned my lesson. Almost didn't make it there myself since it was nearing 0700UTC.

Sounds like I missed the good times.

Your logic is sound to me. Before the Eden run, the most SC travel I'd done was around 900k Ls. 0.22Ly is a whole other level of patience though. Enough time to shower, make a pot tea or coffee and see what's in your itinerary for the week.

 

[Captain Willard]

BAH Enuff with SC and micro jumps. Just teleport my ship from station to station.

 

[EdzUp]

Im against Microjumps as if you hyperjump to another point in the system its basically stopping combat between areas and all you get will be pirates crowding around stations and outposts to catch people coming in. Currently they have to work for their kill not just sit around waiting for you to jump in.

Haha good one. Now I know how the early settlers felt like when traveling to Eden.

I can understand what others are showcasing against micro-jumps. That's a good point you make. I was simply suggesting activation of such a jump say after 800 to 900Ls of travel. I wouldn't Eve Online style camping either.

CORRECTION: 800k to 900k Ls

Do not quote me on this, seriously I could be making this up.

But, I believe in the lore the original Hutton Orbital (outpost) was created pre-hyperspace as the first ever station outside our solar system...

Again could be 100% wrong but thats my memories...

Or better still being able to jump straight to a planet rather than have to jump to a sun in that system first.
