Route Planning - Is It Me?

[Brieus]

I'm on way back from sagittarius A* (5k from sag A and 20000 from the system i started from in civilised space, i've only got class K and non-sequence stars selected, am in map mode and have removed star names etc.. the below video on youtube is my experience for every current route plot right now, if its not 5 mins, its 10.. and fps drops to 0.7 when calculating a route.

The galaxy map did not need changing for power play except for the power play influence bits, but that should IMHO not affect people who are out exploring as they are too far away to care.

Explorers took a very bad hit with powerplay.. and the below demonstrates why.

Well, there's your problem. You've got too much stuff turned on in your map. Turn off the grid, and all those other markers. For some reason, you also seem to get much better performance if you switch to realistic view from map view.

Sadly i've tried everything switched off and both map and realistic mode.. realistic makes for an even worse scenario

When unticking both options, I tend to first tick fastest then untick both.

Nothing seems to have changed here for me anyway...

I'm sure that in 1.2 mine always defaulted to Economy, so I just unticked it and it worked, now I seem to have to do some random combination to get it to work, unlike before.

Also, the not being able to just hit the Enter/Return key is a slight annoyance, especially when I now need to click on the > button twice.

I was in 1.3 Beta, now i logged in for the first time to 1.3 release :

In 1.2 all you did was untick "Economy" (so both are now unticked) and it did "Fastest" route
In 1.3 Beta if you unticked "Economy" (so both are now unticked) it did "Economy" route
Just now, in 1.3 release ,I got the same result as in Beta

And then there are those oversized blue dots.

I hate them !!! And I don't see any point in them except to slow your game down !!!

I find my biggest issue right now being that I can't plot routes with jumps within my range. My max range is ~31ly and for some reason I can't plot a jump between systems that are only 23ly apart?

Just tried it and it worked for me, on Eco and fastest, don't know why it doesn't work for you !!!

I tried with all options on, some off, and other combos, and I have not seen a slow down, again, like katejina, I don't know why you have this problem !

I don't have any blue dots on my map.

I had the lost Commander Data issue, which people are linking to the galaxy map and routes. I dont want to go through that again, took 24 hours to fix (which is fast I know, thankyou Support) so I am manually plotting at the moment.
