So close, can't plot route home
- Thread starter S~P
- Start date
Try again in a bit - they're updating at the mo (I got the 5 minute warning a couple of minutes ago). Couple of exploration specific updates:
omg you're so mean
I had a similar problem just south of Barnards Loop lately. I was trying to go a certain destination, and all I got was "route unavailable". So I tried some systems a bit closer which worked fine, and then did the last jumps "the old way" (manually).
I believe when stars are getting pretty sparse, that the route planner is trying to go in the straightest line possible towards your destination. When confronted with a route that makes it go a bit "back" it flips out and refuses to comply.
Other thoughts on this is appreciated.

Back in 1.2 in one of my first exploration missions I went down quite a long way close to the bubble, and when trying to get back up I found the plotter wouldn't work. Travelling a shorter route up and then retrying eventually worked. Given I had exactly the same ship going up and down something quirky was happening.
I had the same problem returning from Epsilon Orionis. About 60Ly prior to getting there is a large gap in the stars that you have to go up and over to get around. The only way to get the route planner to do it was to manually start the plot in economy mode, then watch where the little blue lines say it thinks you can go. Plot a manual route on the way you think makes sense and then, as it populates the blue lines further, it should allow you to continue.

I only experienced this after they made the changes that shaped the stars we see when viewing large areas on the Galaxy Map into a sphere rather than the previous cube.

Thanks for the advice guys but had an accident. Jumped into a binary system and was sandwiched between two close stars, by the time I got out I had a breached canopy with 10 minutes air, needless to say that was the end of my journey. I can't believe I travelled 25, 000lys without a scratch and fall at the last hurdle. Needless to say I'll won't be exploring for a while.
