LHS 3447

Anyone who visits LHS 3447 will know that you need to travel for about 10 minutes to get to LHS 3447 because you drop out at Gliese 748.2 B which is 110,000 Ls away. If it is possible it would be nice if the dropout point was changed to LHS 3447 :)
 
The usual supercruise-is-too-long points aside, the OP has a valid point (IMHO). The system is called LHS 3447, so one would assume that it was the larger star (If anyone wants to correct this supposition, feel free! :) ). The system should therefore be called Gliese 748.2 B, if everything is working as intended :)
 
I am all for this, I started in this system, and try my best to never go back, despite the great trade value many of the stations have. That 10 minute supercruise is just way too big of a pain. I'll stick with the 37Ls-500Ls stations in Eravate. Why can't we just jump to another sun in the same system. The first jump goes to Gliese, then a jump to LHS 3447, then a supercruise to the station. Cuts out 110k Ls and 8-9 of the 10 minutes of supercruise, and stays within lore because you are going from sun to sun
 
Agreed, I started in this system too and I'm long one from there. By the way, to the Op, never go to Alpha Centuari.
 
10 minutes, is that all? just enough time to make a decent cuppa.
go to alpha centauri, that'll put your 10 mins into perspective.

It's clearly a Thargoid plot to confuse and weaken us!

Because of the way that trade works in ED (supply and demand shift depending on the volume of player trades), I suspect that prices here would be less good if the stations were more accessible. Just something to think about.

I can see the original point though but I've spotted several other similar very-far-away systems (such as Phra Saman) - I just make a note of these and don't pick up any missions which would mean I have to go there.
 
I really like those looong supercruise travels. Gives you plenty of time to smoke, make coffee and take a leak if you must.
Or if you absolutely must sit in front of your screen the whole time, use it for meditation. Or read a book. You know those funny little things with symbols printed all over the paper on the inside.
Or Alt-Tab out of the game and go to the forums to read useless complaints in every second or so thread. Sorry. I'm just sick of these posts.

LHS 3447 was my starting system. Because of the travel distance I couldn't wait to get out of the place. I'm amazed so many cmdrs still hang around there.

Totally agree with you, every thread I open is full of nonsensical annoying complaints. I am searching about what else people are doing in the game, but every thread I open turns into someone complaining after second page. There were games that tried to be Elite, so many of them, imho they did not deliver and Frontier did, as it should since they made original, backed by kickstarter and not large companies, also should be taken into consideration, as it should that it is only the start of probably good things that will be added.

It might be nice to jump from star to star, but I do honestly think it is in the core of this game to have a few systems that are hardvto reach, altough it would be nice to have something worthwile on the other end.
 
I suppose its the equivalent of when we changed all the signs around here in cornwall to confuse the germans if they invaded... And just forgot to change them back

I seem to remember that hyperjump to another star in the same system was supposed to be a feature. Some guys are against anything like this - it would ruin their mystical space experience. Making and eating lunch or browsing on their other monitors while traveling to a station is so immersive. I just make note of and avoid stations with excessively long travel times.

Guys.... 110.000Ls is cool ! We all should be glad its that short. Just a few minutes away i visited a solar system ( im exploring atm ) wich has two bog stars orbiting each other at 460.600Ls ! Thats even worse than 110.000Ls :D
