Route Plotting no longer working after DT?

[leo-kayan]

Hi all, before the servers went down I had made a short 1300LY trip out of the bubble with no issues. After DT I want to return to where I started (I forgot a Surface scanner :S) but when I try to plot the return trip the route planner fails at 60% and just says route failed with no reason. Nothing has changed at my end, so is anyone else seeing this or have any idea what has happened??

Thanks

You were part-way through and when replotting it fails? That's a common issue, and can happen for a lot of reasons. Sparse stars, permit locks, etc. The course plotter has to make a variety of logic-shortcuts in order to run quickly, and that sometimes means that it tries to choose the stars a little differently from a different starting point, and if it runs into a gap in the stars, permit locks, etc.. that can break it. Try plotting a shorter distance, make a few jumps, and then plot out the rest again. Or, if there is a permit locked region in the way, you might do best to do a few jumps to the side first.

Which direction are you heading?
