It wasn't a painful trip. I'm landed at Hutton now. No mug for me though.

Anyone else considering the trip might want to check the state first.
Hutton Orbital is 22 LY from entry. There may be a way of figuring the time to distance but I do not know it.
don't travel so slow. it should only take 1.5hrs.It took me this long to get across a system to one station. There has to be a way to choose which star in the system you want to jump to. Such a waste of time.
So, you got one of your initiation rites completed (Hutton Orbital)? o7
For the MUG!
On a less tongue-in-cheek note, sorry, have to repeat myself:
Nope, the mechanics are as good as they can be in a single player game which is shoehorned into a MMO mongrel.

Now, I wouldn't mind some sort of dumb autopilot which could fly you to a destination if no one interrupts the trip, but some insight into how the current system came to be might get you appreciate it a bit more.
And the long supercruises need to stay! We don't have cable-cars to Mount Everest or Matterhorn etc., some places should feel an achievement once you get there. Getting across the whole Galaxy is all too easy & quick already.

The longest one I took was 750kls. It was while exploring. I did it to see what was on at the end, maybe FD had hidden something WORTHWHILE!
No.
Typical.
I am interested in seeing the traffic stats at Hutton orbital.
What part of an inverse tangent approaching an asymptote don't you understand?(sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Hutton Orbital is 22 LY from entry.
No it's not. Actually Hutton Orbital is 0.214 LY from entry.
You would never arrive at a target 22ly away using supercuise.
Which kind of puts you off doing it again in the next system.
The only problem is; there might actually be something there (IIRC, Frontier have said there is still stuff to discover in the galaxy; not all of it has been found yet).
