Getting to Lave from Sol

Hey.

Is it possible to get from Sol to Lave in a Cobra mk III ? it says route unavailable when i set Lave as a destination.
 
Sol to Lave is over 100ly, the in-game route plotter is limited to max 100ly radius so you won't be able to plot it in-game. However, there is a viable route provided you have at least 10ly jump range. It will take you 29 jumps if your range is that short but my Cobra can do 19ly and it takes 8 jumps.
 
Yeah, just to make it clear, that "route unavailable" is only a limitation of the route planner, it has nothing to do with where you can actually go. Only the length of one jump is limited by the rating of your ship's currently installed FSD (the Frame Shift Drive) combined with how much mass your ship currently has. There are areas where your jump range may not be enough to progress directly towards your final destination, but you can usually go around through a longer route, unless you are at the edges of the spiral arms of the galaxy (where stars are sparse), which would be thousands of Ly from the inhabited section.

You have to let the map's routes populate. It's kinda slow. You'll start seeing lines branch out from your current location. But like others have said, you can only plot a maximum of 100LY at a time once the routes on the map are populated.

Just be patient and keep looking at the map, zoom out a little, and slowly but surely the lines will start spreading like cracks in glass. :)

Hey DaveB - that's interesting! EliteCopilot and Cmdr Club both couldn't find that route. How did you do that? Magic? Maybe there are some waypoints that these other tools don't have yet - what did you use for your systems data? Brilliant!
 
Sweet! I'm hoping for a response from DaveB because I want to go find the source of the system data that he used to generate the route. It would seem to be superior to what I am currently using.
 
IDK what tool dave uses but Tradedangerous can do that. It's written in phyton. Is my favorite trading tool. :)

I use http://www.miggy.org/games/elite-dangerous/routes/ to plot beyond 100ly - It shouldn't have waypoints that too many others don't, because it pulls from EDSC like many others. I just found its pathfinding to be one of the most efficient out there.
