The galaxy map can only plot routes up to 1,000ly. You have to do it in stages. i meander from nebula to nebula on my way to the core.
What I do is select the target I want to visit. I then swing the view so my current location is behind me. I then flick the scroll wheel until both the orange and blue pins appear. Then line up the two pins and scroll forward. Pick a star <1K ly towards your destination. There are locations that are very barren on scoopable stars so keep an eye on fuel and be prepared to travel at economic to eke out your fuel.
Is this a new thing? Neutron stars appear to be doing light-bending as well as black holes. This one's only 1 solar mass, but it's doing it. Woot!
Maybe I'm too close.
Edit: I wonder if it's a bug. This is a system with a black hole and 2 neutron stars; everything is warping light. I haven't noticed neutron stars warping light in other systems.

I had to do that recently. switch to economic to look for fuel when I got closer to home.
Not quite a new thing, it was introduced in a patch about a month ago I think. White dwarves also bend light.
yeah, it was one of the most active forum threads, before it got moved to this forum section.

Hello again to all the other Explorers. While i was looking through the Forum i found this little gem of a picture. It might be very helpfull when you target a planet. They are the HUD Displays of the different Suns and Planets.
Credits go to Cmdr Dognosh for collecting this Info and creating the Picture.

Maybe there is a secret alien colony and that yellowish color is caused by pollution?
Or is the yellow, dust rising from a nuclear attack
I have never tried to explore beyond colonized space, but I feel the time has come.
I ask you, professional explorers, if you have any advice for me, regarding what should I be careful about in my long distance journeys? Besides what's written in the guide, ofc, like binary stars and the like. I'm more interested in wear and tear and these kind of problems that I didn't care about while exploring in civilized space.

Thanks, Zeeman. Also, is the outfitting guide in the OP outdated by any chance?
Nope, pretty much the same. You want the lightest of everything, just enough power to make it all work, and the biggest, baddest fuel scoop nd FSD you rmoney can buy.
Shields are optional, weapons pointless, and make sure you have a DSS and advanced discovery scanner, otherwise, you are wasting your time if it's a long term/range trip.
