{Bug Report} Route Unavailable (Maximum Distance exceeded)

[Orion13622]

Issue:
Parked at Colonia, attempting to plot course to BOEWNST KS-S C20-959.
Distance: 4,786.59LY
Unable to plot course, Jump drive will do 41/46 LY jumps at a time.
This worked prior to the updates that took place in the last year, now it doesn't.
I decided to come back after about a year, but no point in playing if I can't even get home.

Please advise on the issue.

Thank you.

Update: Course plotting was set to Economical Rountes (1kly).
Changed this setting to Fastest Routes (Max 20Kly), all is working now.

Thanks for letting us know.

It's easy to screw this up and then wonder what the heck is going wrong

Update: Brain plotting was set to cabbage Rountes (1kly).

Glad you got your issue sorted but this puzzles me, what do you mean by you can't even get home? The route plotter doesn't in any way determine the maximum distance you can travel, I mean people were traveling tens of thousands of light years even when the route plotter was limited to 1kly per plot, you just plot shorter hops until you get there.

They did it before the route planner even existed

My first sub 100ly journey was an epic stellar Odyssey of spreadsheets and meticulous 8ly-at-a-time planning by eye.

I'd suggest that the op might be aware they could manually plot a route home but perhaps they should have said "I couldn't be bothered to do it".

I don't doubt it, I wish I was here when that was the way to go, would have been fun to experience!
