On a similar note....MAAANNN! voyager 1 is taking it's time getting to the next star.
Jumping to sister stars
- Thread starter Ice Pick
- Start date
Lore is not immutable.
The Galaxy Map already tells you which secondary stars are in a system before you jump into it, even if it's unexplored. So our shipboard computers already know that other stars exist in a system, and what type they are - we just need a means to identify their location to lock on to their gravity well.
Change the lore to suggest that Guardian technological advances now allow drives to identify the location of sufficiently massive bodies through a combination of observable orbital wobble caused by secondary bodies (something we can already do right now), existing cartographic data, and gravimetric effects.
you can actually visit Vogager 1&2 in-game.
REMEMBER ALWAYS!
Elite is a different kind of player experience.

You jump to the most massive star, but not the main star?

You'll have to explain that, because that link seems to show that you do, in fact, jump to the most massive star, which in that case is the main star.
The primary star (Prism) is 0.7773 solar masses.
But there are 3 other stars in that system, 2 of which have higher mass than the primary star:
- Ruby (0.3867 solar masses)
- Diamond (1.7969 solar masses)
- Sapphire (2.1992 solar masses)
Because arbitrary and artificial mechanics in place to waste your time travelling, thereby giving a "sense of scale", and keeping you busy from the fact that there is actually not much to do.
In before that dude/chick with the pseudo scientific explanations pulled out of a dumpster tries to explain this bit.
volume does not equal density.
What is bigger (massiver) 100ton of feathers or 100ton of lead?

But mass is still mass.
I'm afraid the maths still don't add up.
Sphere volume = 4/3(πr^3)
Sphere density = mass / volume
- Prism
- Mass = 0.7773
- Volume = 4/3 * (π * 0.8580^3) = 2.6458
- Density = 0.7773 / 2.6458 = 0.2938
- Ruby
- Mass = 0.3867
- Volume = 4/3 * (π * 0.2800^3) = 0.0920
- Density = 0.3867 / 0.0920 = 4.2033
- Diamond
- Mass = 1.7969
- Volume = 4/3 * (π * 1.2900^3) = 8.9920
- Density = 1.7969 / 8.9920 = 0.1998
- Sapphire
- Mass = 2.1992
- Volume = 4/3 * (π * 1.4300^3) = 12.2489
- Density = 2.1992 / 2.6458 = 0.8312
I notice you didn't do the feather calculation....hmmmmm.
But it does... the most massive star in the system is Sapphire and that's where you jump. Sapphire is 0ls from the arrival point; Prism is 280,000ls from the arrival point.
Why would you think that the K star was the "main star"? - That is just your mindset. You mean the most convenient star. Physics doesn't often accommodate "convenient".
Oh my gosh! You're right!
Sorry - my bad. I misread that page and assumed the first star in the list was the most massive.
Thanks for the correction.

No problem
. Although I'm also baffled why it's listed that way, unless Prism is home to the ruling faction (all the planets orbit Prism).I look at dxm55 post 17. I am impress on how many of topics are newcomers at the time when they posted and they stop posting after 2 or 3 times. I assume they Understood the logic of some players like my self and others and how to avoid long distance travel. I guess some players never get logic even if it bit them on the nose.
Oh it so lovely you taken up the Role Playing and now trying to change that.

But wait! Aren't you the one who said it was just the same small group of players supporting it over and over again Did you read any of the threads in those links? Did you see the arguments for and against? Did you see the variety of suggestions from a huge variety of players with a huge variety of in-game experience and ideas?
Why can't you accept that this is a popular topic for reason - people like the game generally, but dislike the boring super cruise mechanic.
When you assume...
The lack of self-awareness in that comment is incredible. Especially when compared to the quote immediately above this one.
Sounds like the 'Suggestions' forum is the wrong place for you if you're opposed to so many suggestions for enhancing gameplay.
"hey so I want to not have to do this thing that I din't want to do"
"Ok, that's already available in game. Just don't go there. There are billions of other systems, thousands of stations. Just go to one which isn't an hour and a half away"
"but I want other people to not be able to do it too..."
