Supercruise assist is my hyperspace jumping friend in deep space. Keeps me from flying into the star when I get up to get a beer. Or when I'm watching late night talk shows.
You don't need to waste a module slot for that. If flight assist is enabled, hitting the zero throttle key once after the jump has been initiated will stop your ship right after exiting hyperspace.
I'm gonna guess you don't drink beer.
Edit: I'm confused. "If flight assist is enabled, hitting the zero throttle key..." Did the text of your post get jumbled?

If you're sober enough to press the jump key, pressing the zero throttle key next shouldn't be too difficult. You can do this during the FSD countdown; the game will remember it at the end of the jump and bring the ship to a halt in front of the main star.I'm gonna guess you don't drink beer.

How do you have "flight assist is enabled..." if you don't have the module installed? Hence my confusion on your post.
What you are describing only works after the FSD warm up, 3... 2...1... and then enter witchspace. Now you can press the zero throttle, absolutely. I'm gonna guess you haven't had many sessions were you jump +200 times while other distractions are happening around you. Certainly I successfully traveled the lengths of the galaxy before the flight assist modules were introduced. But using up a 1 slot for assurance I don't run into the star while watching late night TV sure is nice.

Flight assist is built into the ship by default, it's not an optional module.
Not saying it's wrong to have a supercruise assist for auto-dethrottle. Just saying it's not required. If I get a phone call during a hyperspace jump, I hit the zero throttle key before getting up and answering the call. I'm used to it. I often fly small ships with carefully calibrated power plants where adding a supercruise assist is simply not an option.
