Just been having this problem myself. Does anyone have a good waypoint system where you can plot courses to HIP 36601 and the bubble? Got to HIP 36601 by jumping a system at a time thanks to a third party program but it's far too finicky to do that every time. Currently docked in an fc in HIP 36601 but would prefer not to rely on fate for where I end up.
Edit: My jump range is 35.68ly.
1. Do you mind taking a screenshot of the nav screen (showing the adjacent star systems) from HIP 36601. I keep forgetting to check that whenever I am there.
2. I kinda overcompensated. When I first tried, it was a sub 30 LY ship and I spent couple of days in frustration (hence why I started this thread) trying to get to 36601. Then I went straight to G5 FSD and Guardian FSDB and found that with a 40++ LY range, you can plot a straight course from Jameson Memorial in Shinrata. It was 37 or 47 jumps only.
IF possible, highly recommend you just build that 40/50 or more LY ship, makes the whole thing a lot less frustrating and you get a nice long legged ship too.
If not, then its the 300LY up trick as others above have suggested.
Seriously, bear with the grind to get that 1st long legged ship. It makes everything down the road so much easier.
