Newcomer / Intro My Return to ED ......

Seriously though, I hope somebody does know ........ could be very useful.On the Galaxy Map, there is a Grid Reference (see below, together with more questions).

A vertical and horizontal Grid Reference would allow you to locate a 3 dimension point in the ED galaxy. I would have thought this very useful.
Much too warm!Oh ! I've been trying to scoop at 95 to 100 degrees !I thought that was what the video tut. said.
Get above 80 and the warnings start with minor damage not long after along with sparks and smoke from dashboard.
I generally ease off if the temperature gets above 75.
The other thing to watch out for is starting to charge the Frame Shift Drive too soon after finishing scooping, I tend to wait until I have seen the temperature drop on the display before charging, if you start too soon the temperature gain from the drive can take you into the heat damage region again.
Thanks. No wonder I was having trouble.
I found this looking for something else, but here's a great start:On the Galaxy Map, there is a Grid Reference (see below, together with more questions

Any system search tools with a "search along an X, Y, Z line" feature?
I've been thinking about advice to pick a direction and start exploring, but I'm not very good at deciding which way to go on my own. So I was thinking of plugging in random numbers from random.org into an X,Y,Z format, but I don't know where to start with tools that might point me towards...
and using the reference shown in the above thread:
and in particular:
Elite: Dangerous Index
www.spansh.co.uk
This leads me to think 90:40:0 as indicating coodinates X = 90, Y = 40 and Z = 0
I did a search for 0:0:0 and it came up with SOL.
I think spansh.co.uk can give answers to some of my questions above.
In fact, it already has...... I will explore further ........

Right ...... I normal. on the galaxy map, highlight the system I want to journey to, and click on the second icon which marks the journey for me.
I don't select Econ. or Rapid and I'm assuming it's set on Econ. by default.
How do I select Rapid ?
Is that one of the other icons next to the route planner icon ?
" ........ here "FDS" ...... " What do you mean by this ?
Oh ! Not good !
How nice the I can follow all that you are saying (except about the FSD). A month ago I would not have understood any of it ! Ha !
For "select Rapid" you need to select FASTEST ROUTES marked 2 below.
If you are going a longer distance and want to use neutron star and white dwarf star jet cone boosts also tick 3 USE JET CONE BOOST. You need a fuel scoop fitted to scoop the blue swirling jet cone. The number of times I remove the fuel scoop from a ship for shorter range travel, arrive at a neutron star and try to scoop the jet cone without a fuel scoop fitted...
" here "Frameshift Drive Supercharge""
I think auto correct on my phone is auto correcting to the wrong word.
It should say "until you hear the Frameshift Drive Supercharged" announcement and a message also flashes up top right of the screen.
I thought you only wanted to do ethical things?
Well I'm in the UK so midnight GMT is..... well you know.
There is a vertical grid reference that you see when you scroll the map vertically. 0.0.0 is Sol.On the Galaxy Map, there is a Grid Reference (see below, together with more questions

The numbers don't really mean anything. They are just there for aesthetics.
No it's not lol.Seriously though, I hope somebody does know ........ could be very useful.
I am in the UK so GMT give or take an hour depending on whether we are BST British Summer Time or not. The clocks change by an hour later this month.cribs3 ? Quain ? Codger ? and anybody else who is a regular poster (or less regular poster
If it is 12.00 midnight GMT, what time is it with each of you ?
This will help me work out when you should "be up" or "in bed". Well ..... that is unless you are like me: I'm all over the place .....
By-the-way, 12 midnight GMT is 11.00 am for me. I think ........
Well, I never paid that much attention to the grid references before. You have just taught me they are positions relative to SolI found this looking for something else, but here's a great start:

Thanks mate. Yes, I think it's 1.00 am for midnight in the UK at the moment.
Me teach you something about ED ??? I'm printing this post off and framing it !!!Well, I never paid that much attention to the grid references before. You have just taught me they are positions relative to Sol
I need to do some more checking. crib3 thrown me a wobbily so I'm now a bit uncertain about which is X, which is Y, and which is Z .
Bloody Pommie B*****ds the pair of you ........
Can't believe I was one 64 years ago, but don't tell anybody ......

Yes, that matches my calculation with it being 11.25 pm here at the moment.
What are you checking for? Those numbers are just for aesthetics they don't actually do anything in game.
Yes, "hear" makes so much more sense.For "select Rapid" you need to select FASTEST ROUTES marked 2 below.

And thanks for the Econ/Fast advice. I knew I'd seen it somewhere.

Deserted-crib3: No it's not lol.
I don't agree. Just look at these figures:
Look at the Galaxy Map Quain provided in Post #1089. That reference you can just see, 9530 : ??24 : 19790. Where the bloody hell is that ?
I'm at 90 : 40 : 0
SOL is 0 : 0 : 0
All I do know is that you're light years away from me, and that's a gross understatement !
And I think that's useful to know. In fact, I can pinpoint exactly where we both are .....
(I need to study more spansh.co.uk.)
Sorry, I don't agree. See my reply to Quain in Post #1098
I just had lunch
Ha! Note I very carefully said "one" not "I".
I got on some internet site that said that made it 1.00 am .......
Its approx. 12.30 am here ...... Think I might have late dinner ...... or an early breakfast ......I just had lunch
What is the nearest System to you Quain right now? Maybe just the one you're in ........ ThanksYes, "hear" makes so much more sense.
And thanks for the Econ/Fast advice. I knew I'd seen it somewhere.
