I want one thing that will improve my relationship with elite: SPECIFIC JUMPS. I'm tired to lose time in the game because I got to the star farthest from the place I was supposed to get into the system. It would be very difficult to make a leap to the station without going through the entire system. Why do not you put in a coordinate system, that's what you see most in science-fiction stuff. No time is wasted to go through the entire system.
Specific jumps or oordinates for the jump
- Thread starter rumbleteam
- Start date
Hey, so this is unlikely to happen for two reasons:
First, as a game mechanic, traveling from your hyperspace terminus to your in system destination is an important risk factor for interdiction. In other words it makes you subject to being attacked, by both NPC pirates and bounty hunters, and other players in open.
Second, as a matter of game lore, a hyperspace terminus always falls near a star system’s center of gravity, give or take a few light seconds. Current FSD technology is not capable of pulling a hyperspace terminus too far away from that center of gravity. You could say it relies on it.

Don't go to those places then. Simple really, nobody is forcing you to make those long supercruise journeys - you are given the distance in mission briefings and you can always reject any redirection messages. Like a lot of people asking for a lot of things, you need to adapt your playstyle to the game, not expect the game to be adapted to suit you.
Saying all of the above, I do believe that the devs are considering a system of mini-jump between stars in systems but I can't remember where I read that.
@Warm - I believe I am correct in that the terminal of a hyperspace jump (the arrival point) is the most massive star in a system - not the barycentre of the system (which to me would be more logical).
well at least trying doesn't cost but they could make jump rings

Thank you for the clarification both of you

Of course there is nothing to stop you making the suggestion for intra-system stellar jumps in the Suggestions sub-forum:

... don't get upset if people say, "not again" - "been asked" - etc - just ignore downers, your opinion is as valid as anyone else's (well except for The Braben I suppose
) and it doesn't hurt to keep reminding about it.
