If there were any doubts about inter-system supercuise

I guess you mean 2.7 mil Ls (light *seconds*). 2.7 million light years would be somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy. A long way to supercruise.

Thanks Retu, I was having a derp moment. xD

Was the final Jump only 4.79Ls range, or was it the "full" 2.7MLs distance between the two systems? (could you tell?)

Is would be interesting to determine, because it would mean that we could "stretch" our jump ranges by loading up fuel tanks and supercruising part of the way - possibly even staging "fuel dump" ships along the way.

I jumped from only 4.79Ls to the next system xD

The biggest issue right now is that the moment you press the button you snap into the new position and then stay there shaking until everything has loaded. A better approach would be for your ship to start off the transition at the location you pressed the button (not where it will end up) and then automatically orient itself towards the target while gradually moving from the drop out location to the location you end up in when entering normal space. This would make the experience a lot more seamless.

+1. And believe me, the game is instanced inside a system because its online.
