No permit to witch nebula

[emmelle]

Hi,
i'm the only one that cannot travel to witch nebula because it's again in a bubble of unknow permit stars?

There are routes around it but it's not the easiest to get to. If you get closer then skirt around the edge of the permit zone - underneath is easier, I think - then you can probably make it, even if you can't plot a direct route from where you are.

You can't plan a direct route from the bubble, because ones the algorithm used stumbles upon a permit locked system it crashes and burns. Instead, plan a route to a star 100ly from the nebula, and take it from there. It is pretty easy to reach it.

Depends where abouts - I'm jumping there from Prahasi (all that sweet Beryllium) and it's fine. You do need > 20 Ly jump range I hear.

Yeah, you need a drive with the appropriate jump range, but I took that as common knowledge. Mine jumps over 40, but still failed to plan a route successfully, simply because it hit a permit wall and gave up. Or at least I think it did because of that...

I've done some experiments, it seems that at least 28ly jump is needed to plot a route from the Bubble to the witch nebula.

No, definitely not. I got to that region when the game was still in gamma phase in a cobra that barely jumped 20. The 28 you use just happen to skip a permit locked system along the way, but its good to see things work now
