Is anyone successfully plotting neutron-boosted routes in a cutter?

[Fiennes]

I've got a 21ly cutter on my main account. I'm trying to plot a route through a neutron field. I have "apply filter to route" turned off.

It's plotting the route without problems but it's not taking me through any neutron stars which is obviously making it a bit tedious. If I turn off "use jet cone boost" it recalculates the route using neutron stars but it doesn't calculate the jump out of the neutron system at (up to) 84 ly, and in the galaxy map the max 21ly jump after each NS is orange, not cyan.

I don't have the same problem in my alt account 'conda which plots routes including jet cone boosts. Both ships are fully loaded with cargo and have a SLF bay with hired crew. It's either the ship, the paintjob or the ship kit that is causing the problem. Most likely the ship so I thought I'd check here first before filing a ticket.

(I'll spend this evening's play building my alt's imperial rep so he can buy a cutter and try to replicate the issue.)

No. I used extensive jetcone boosting on the MCE with my Cutter. However, it had a lot more than 21LY range (just under 35LY).

Thank you for your reply. I think it's down to cargo bays. The more you have (and the fuller they are) the more likely thar NS boost plots won't work.

IIRC, transporting repair materials to Jacques a few years back, my Cutter, fully laden and with a 22 LY jump range, used a little over 1,000 jumps to get from the bubble to Colonia. It's going to be slow going any way you look at it. Circa 25 hours of jumping (I didn't use neutron boosts as they weren't available back then).
