Please Frontier, increase supercruise times, and here's why...

[Siobhan]

Often when flying out to Hutton Orbital, I like to distract myself by watching a movie on Netflix. However, many modern movies are much longer than 90 minutes and I may be distracted at an inopportune time and miss my braking point. In the worst case, I may be half way to Barnards Star before I realise, and have to turn round.
Obviously this is unacceptable. I demand that longer movies be taken into account or else the game is doomed! I (or more likely someone else) will feel the need to leave in protest over this griefing!

Use the SC-Assist so you can finish your movie and switch back to the game just outside Hutton - simples! Just remember to set the throttle correctly so you don't ram into the station when you get there

(Yes, I know you were joking )

LOL

It is necessary to make a folding monitor in the cabin of the ship on which it will be possible to play video files from the hard disk of the computer or video by links, then you can watch a movie right in the pilot's cabin without being distracted)

@Siobhan , you're not thinking big enough.

I have to work 10.5 hour days, so all supercruise should take much longer than (so I have time to get home, and have dinner after), then I can just stick ED on and go to work.

I can't use the SC Assist... I stripped it out to make room for a Plex server.

I'm still trying to unlock the engineers for the plex server and the screens in my ship :-(

 

[Deaf Space]

i agree with this suggestion

You do realize that there's no requirement to be at full throttle (after you've actually got to SC), so you can take as long as you like.

I've managed to fit in a screening of Apocalypse Now and that wasn't even going to Hutton Orbital. Added benefit, I got better gas mileage. Win win.

Maybe I'm wrong but I suspect you're rather missing the point.

There are 2 ways of using SC Assist to get to Hutton Orbital:

1. Target the planet it orbits, watch TV / fall asleep, end up orbiting near it.

2. Target Hutton Orbital itself, watch TV / fall asleep, arrive and ram at 75% throttle, go boom, respawn at nearest station (Hutton Orbital). Well at least you got there, and no need to dock.

Arrow, meet knee...
Hint: I know... I've done the trip more than you have.
