Help - Stuck in a sparse zone

[Christian-A-Hill]

Hello ED Community,

I am on a trip to Ishum from Bubble via Colonia. In this posting i am logging my journey, Crusading to Ishum

I am at a region of space where I am finding the stars are really sparse. I am following the Spansh Neutron planner and stuck in Gru Pri DX-B d13-0 and trying to figure out how to move forward. With neutron boost I get 180 ly jump range. I used 45 ly ship jump range to plot on Spansh in the planner.

All my previous jumps on the planner was 180ly from one neutron to another. But this one to Synietchua CV-Y d0 is 256ly away with 4 jumps. Does this mean i am suppose to manually jump to 3 systems before i am able to get to next neutron? I tried to find system within 90 ly which i can reach with jumponium but nothing scoopable in sight.
Why spansh telling me 4 jumps away when there are no neutron in between?
I hope my dilemma makes sense and someone will be able to give me some tips in this situation. I am currently 18,000ly from Beagle and guessing further i go from here I am going to face this issue more and may be more severe ones.

The intervening jumps in-between will be at "regular" (non-neutron) stars. So you'll do one boosted jump at 180 ly, then the remaining 76 ly will be done with three regular jumps, unless the in-game route plotter finds a shorter path. (Depends on how many of the stars in your area are uploaded to EDSM.)

My advice would be to do what it tells you, but before you commit to the boosted jump, check if there will be any scoopable stars after that 180 ly.

You just might have saved me hours of trying to figure out those 4 jumps!

After several visual scans of galaxy map i finally found a system ( Synietchua YO-A d0 ) that is 179 ly away with F class star. EDSM cannot find it so I am guessing it is not discovered yet or the person who discovered it was not sending data to EDSM?
If i jump in that system I should be able to scoop to top off from that F star. Then use jumponium to get cover the remaining 76 ly system to get to neutron system Synietchua CV-Y d0. Is that viable?
I havent used jumponium before but loaded up on mats as recommended by others before the journey. So if i used the premium injection I should technically get 90ly jump range to cover the remaining 76 ly?

Sounds good to me.
And yes, Spansh can only work with systems that people have uploaded to EDSM. If you use it in places and over routes that not many have gone through yet, you'll often find that it won't chain neutron stars right after each other.
Plus you're in a gap between galactic arms, where there are fewer NS-es to start with.

A huge thanks to @marx I am now out of the critical sparse area and slowly into denser zone. I was missing the crucial info about the Spansh multiple waypoints for a single system. I jumped with neutron boost then manually plotted to the next system with multiple waypoints.

Also while plotting I noticed I can select Jet Cone boost to see which systems i can reach from the system i am in. Did not know about this before.
