Resetting destination target help

[Cmdr Spencer]

Been meaning to ask for a while but never got round to it - when I'm docked at a settlement and then select a new destination on galaxy map, 9 times out of 10 the destination seems to be blocked by the planet. I then select the star in the current system so I can get to hyperspace, and then have to go back into galaxy map to reselect my destination even though it's still highlighted.
Is there a quicker way to do this? I.e. To select previous waypoint? The other option is to select destination after clearing planet orbit I suppose, but that wastes time

You should have 2 buttons to engage FSD, ... Supercruise and Hyperspace.
Use Supercruise to skirt round the planet until the dotted circle is solid then engage Hyperspace.
It can be annoying when it happens on a speedrun delivering for a CG

You can define separate hotkeys for Supercruise and Hyperspace, rather than using a single dual-purpose one. If the destination is obscured, just pick a random direction (or vertical from planetary locations) and hit the Supercruise option.

omg really? only been playing 2 years! I use voice attack for supercruise, need to find the binding. Come to think of it, i dont ever recall there being bindings for both supercruise and hyperspace, and i've been through the control options numerous times...

I use voice attack as well. "Engage" = Supercruise, "Jump" = Hyperspace =)

I also have a combination on my HOTAS for the generic supercruise button that does either, so I can disengage supercruise quickly.

There are three binding for fsd.
One that engages either depending on nav target, then one for supercruise only and one for jumping.

I suspect voice attack or at least the hcs packs use the first contextualized button which is honestly useless.

Oh. And there is a keybind for targeting "next waypoint" as well.
Even if you select a station or whatever, using that will select the next plotted route.

I also use it in combat as a "deselect target" button.

Pretty sure the two separate controls have been there since the beginning (even in the original pre-release beta I believe); the combined one was added later as some people were confused about the difference between them and/or had limited buttons available and didn't know/use modifier combos. I never got the hang of using the combined one at all...
