Plotting a Course......

Trying to plot a hyper space route to LP 102-320 from Eranin, and it just won't do it.

Could do with some helpful advice here?

BTW, I am flying my new Anaconda "Thunder-Child" (More details and video of what I did later on the relevant thread.....) and taking a passenger along for the ride. In fact this is the first place they want me to take them....

What is the distance, and are there any permit lock areas in the way? I'm afraid I'm not in game to check. You could try plotting a point to half way at an acute angle, then do the rest after.

Also check the route settings in case they have gone weird, such as fastest etc.
 
Looks like they're within 100 Ly of Sol, so probably not that. I think the OP has maybe invented the opposite of a jumpconda ... (a stuckconda?). Someone should ask what their jumpr ange is - maybe a mate told 'em that a 2E is the best FSD for a fatboi 🤷‍♀️

Lol at fatboi! Good point - I'm nowhere near the game so couldn't figure out any locus. There has to be some kind of quirky error or settings thing then as you say mate.

He barely had enough money to buy the Anaconda the other day, good chance there's an E- or D-rated FSD in there.

Is this the same guy?! Jeez I didn't realize, else I would have taken it on board when trying to make my useful post!

I suspect yourself and Facty are on the money then with this.
 
How do I fix that?

in Oddyssey.. on the galaxy map, turn off this setting if it's on.

Now to turn off the setting, you need to switch one of the others on to replace it. Is that right? Anyway, I managed to solve the problem after googling it and and reading that if where I can fame shift to is effected by my cargo. So, I sold my cargo, all of it and the problem did go away. Of course, this makes certain trade routes impossible now for trading in goods.

Now that I'm doing another passenger mission, the problem has returned again. Now, I ever sold my stored ship components this time, all of them, but It's still giving me a plotting error. This is from Godheimar where I am to Dimoco

It seems jump range and an underpowered/ under engineered frame shift drive is your problem. You can see your jump range loaded and unload in light years in the outfitting screen.

your stored modules aren't stored on your ship. you don't need to sell them. they don't count towards your jump range.

I see no system or station called Godheimar. check the name again? Until I get that name I can't see what the issue with your plotting is.

Jump range is affected by mass. cargo, and passengers, have mass. that's why 3 jump ranges are displayed: empty/current/fully laden. To increase your jump range you need (and these are just basics):
1. the largest (6) frameshift drive and A rated (so.. 6A. don't buy anything else. 6A for anaconda.
2. At some point you're going to need to engineer that at felicity farseer. she's going to be the first engineer you encounter. You want increased range and as high as you can get it (ultimately G5. if you only engineer one thing to it's fullest, this is it.
3. any module you have that is an E (in your core internals) should be A or D. D is lightweight. Sensors and life support FOR SURE should be D. there are reasons for A rating some others, I do on some. I leave that to you.
4. Much farther into engineering is the ability to engineer your sensors and life support for lightweight. this is a huge thing for jump range.
6. weapons and utilities and SOME optional internals have mass, consider that. AFMU and Fuel Scoop do not have mass and do not affect jump range.

The anaconda is capable of achieving the biggest jump range of any ship, not counting fleet carriers.
 
Try GOOHEIMAR......

Anyway, I abandoned that mission and took another that pays me at least 9 million credits and having the same problem with that one as well. I now can't plot a route between IKPENDNES and TPHEN SLATA after getting there from the same place I have been picking up passengers, LEAVITT ORBITAL, in PEMEDE.

Thanks for the reply anyway......

Put a better FSD in your ship, there's nowhere in the bubble you can't get to fully laden with a 6A FSD, this isn't optional, it's a must do, until you do that you are always going to be having problems. You can plot routes when you have no cargo, once you fill up with cargo your FSD jump range will be reduced and you won't be able to jump as far, hence not being able to jump back after filling up with passenger!
 
are you sure you're plotting the course and not just selecting it? selecting it will try to do it in one jump, plotting will plot multiple jumps to get there.

Anyway, what varonica (and I) said. put a 6a Frameshift drive in it.

I always hold down the left mouse button which I have selected a place to plot multiple jumps to. Is that right?

There are a number of filters in the Galaxy Map (star type, economy type, government type). Each of these has a little tick box, "apply filter to route" and these might be being taken into account. It's also possible the amount of fuel in your tank (which has mass) allowed you to jump one direction but you're short on jump range going back the other way (too much fuel in tank).

So deep breath. Take your time, this is actually good training . The more familiar you become with the Galaxy Map, through solving problems like this, the better. o7

Oh, that's interesting to know and makes sense since I have been filling my fuel tank each time after I jump. Didn't even know that was figured into the equation. So, I gotta burn some fuel to lighten my load. Pity there is no purge certain amount of fuel button.....
