Newcomer / Intro Escape Vector?
- Thread starter Wombat1940
- Start date
You are aligned with your jump destination. Your escape vector is at 90 degrees from the planet. Your secondary targeting reticule (to the right of the station hologram) is showing the direction to the escape vector. Pointing at 1 oclock

There is also the escape vector for avoiding interdiction if you want. That one needs chasing though.
Thanks boys. Its the jump one I'm after here. Should have taken the blinkers off and turned head and looked around.
When leaving planets, 45 degrees also counts as Escape Vector, although there is no target for you to aim at.
In situations like these, when the game asks you to do something you're not entirely sure about, the little compass next to the scanner screen in front of you can be really invaluable.
Another mapping tip! Because going to Supercruise and Hyperspace Jump are used so much I mapped them (Options/Controls/Flight Miscellaneous) to the Spacebar and right shift buttons, simply because they were the 2 largest buttons on my keyboard. I still have J for FSD toggle as a secondary.
You'll often find you can comfortably map the same button 3 or 4 times without causing any conflicts as they are doing unconnected things. For example when you are going to supercruise with the spacebar you aren't selecting something in a menu.

Yep, think 40 degrees is minimum pitch
Or you can just fly above 40km and engage FSD in any orientation that isn't aiming back at the planet.
I normally choose 80 degrees to get faster off the planet, 90 would be ideal, but then the view might eventually rotate, so I stay below 90 degrees - 80 feels good to me.
