The new mechanic of getting supercharged FSD jumps from white dwarves and neutron stars is awesome! But the feature is almost unusable in a practical, regular basis because of the lack of awareness of the route plotter to supercharged jumps. Right now, if you get a supercharge, you have to manually find a destination star at the correct distance to jump to. The plotter is unable to plot a multi-jump route when the first jump has a longer range. If the plotter was fixed to be able to do this, and automatically update the route when opening the galaxy map after getting a supercharge, the feature would actually be really easy, intuitive, and fun. Especially when combined with the route plot filter, it would make long distance supercharged hopping really interesting!
Please fix route plotter to work with supercharged FSD jumps!

People are complaining how slow the route plotting is, now. Have you ever been to the galaxy core? It can take the route-plotter minutes to crunch through the data even in 20LY ship, the longer the jump the more stars the computer has to consider. When there are more than average number of stars, around, it is practically impossible to plot route with longer than 40LY jumps. Believe me, going to the map and manually plotting the superjump is MUCH faster.
If you are in the galactic core and don't want to wait forever for plotting, try finding stars that are multiples of your jump range, so lets say your range is 30Ly, then try plotting a route to a star 990Ly away, exactly, the plot will be fast. If you go 975, it will be slow due to the many possibility of the last 15 ly. Try it, it works.
Beta people asked for a 'replot first jump' button or such, and it was under consideration just not within initial release scope, so they are probably working on something, if I read it right.
So you are basically arguing that because route planning long distances is slow in the core, no one should have the ability to plan long routes anywhere?
