It'd be nice if you could just pick which star in a system. I'm in a system right now that has 3 stars, about 20 planets and the one I want to mine is 1200k Ls away from the jump point. That's a big distance even for SC....
could we please not spawn at the center star all the time?

- Start date
Don't know if it's been said but the Galaxy is rotating, within that every system is moving and orbiting its star or stars
That means the only identifiable constant to lock onto from many LY away is one of the stars

What are you smoking?
Jumping to the star is great, and logical.
1) It's the largest mass in the system and emitting the most energy, so it's logical that your nav computer would lock onto the star rather than some arbitrary celestial body.
2) Landing at star makes it very convenient when fuel scooping, especially for explorers.
3) Landing at star makes it very convenient for pirates and bounty hunters, since nav beacon is always close to star.
4) Landing at star means you are at the center of the system which makes it more convenient when travelling to planets or stations. Why? Because game doesn't know what planet or station you are planning to go to, so dropping you at the center means you don't have to fly extra miles. I would rather land at star and fly 900Ls than be randomly placed at the other end of the system and then have to fly 3000Ls instead. Plus it's more predictable when you know you land at star and that your distance to a station or planet will be roughly the same when you are doing missions that have short timers.
5) The star looks amazing, everytime.
Stop hating on the stars
All this! Fully agree.
I had a cargo run that was 315.000Ls from star to station. I timed it and it took me just over 14 minutes to cover that distance at full throttle with my Cobra.
So yeah... it's a fairly long time to be staring at a screen without being able to do much more.
I like it the way it is. It gives Nav Beacons a meaning to exist. It would even be better if Nav Beacons sold the current system map data.
Game developers don't seem to get that we might like to get up and get water or sandwich every once in a while. Not EVERYTHING in the game should require your full and undivided attention at all times.
You can throttle down to 0 during the hyperspace jump and will then accordingly slow down to 30km/s when you arrive, which should provide plenty of time to go to the kitchen and restroom (not necessarily in that order
).
At such a great distance away... what is it you think your FSD locks onto? The only thing it can 'see' is the star...
If your having to dodge the star every time you come out of hyperspace... why not just kill your throttle BEFORE you arrive?
Sorry if I seem short, I'm quite tall I assure you.
