Supercruise Assistant not engaging

I gave it a try before and it worked well but today the supercruise assistant won't engage. I checked its power and priority and everything looks okay. Haven't found extra options to turn it on like the docking and launching computer. I also kept the speed in the blue but not get any hint of the supercruise assistent anyway. What am I doing wrong?

Ah thanks, that works. I thought it worked automatically the first time but maybe I am still a bit confused with the new menus I saw the first time yesterday :)

Only the launch and dock computer activate themselves, but supercruise needs to be selected before it works. AFAIK there is no keyboard option too.

Well, I bought and sold an SCA over the weekend. When using it for navigating to a USS, it did not drop speed to zero so I had to override to avoid wreckage. When jumping into a system it did drop speed to zero so I had to override to avoid star burn. When using it to navigate to a planetary engineer base, it took forever orbiting around the planet that I gave up. Now maybe I am missing something here, but it feels to me that it's more trouble than it's worth.

Lol. SC-Assist is the most useful module in the game - I just flew one CMDR 20 k Ly back to Colonia to get one. A classic L2P post ;)

OK, then maybe I am missing something here? If I recall, the throttle to zero is optional but I left it on, so why would it behave differently across USS/station nav and system jumps? I bought the module as I thought it would make life easier, but I still have to give it my full attention, unlike auto dock, I can't go and put the kettle on with SCA in charge.

SCA is infected by dangerous Malware. You better do not install it on the ship.
Side effect is that you could be send out in capsule (escape pod) out of you ship!

After the 10th 'oh look, and ELW 100k ls away, shall I manually SC over to scan it, overshoot because distracted, loop of shame - or just ignore it ... ignore it' - SC-Assist is AWESOME!

I must say I was one of the skeptics "ah such module for n00bs, I'll never use it" only to find out it's actually pretty useful - I still wouldn't sacrifice any other module to have it, but if I have a free slot it's definitely getting a SC assist ;-)

It won't take you to the planet surface, they (Adam) said in the livestream you need to manually fly to the ground. If you have it on and target a surface base it will only take you to the planet and into orbit.

edit - which is correct, as it's not an autopilot.

:) Also - so useful when HGE farming or doing assassinations - set controls for the USS, then head over to the forums until you hear anything interesting going on in the game :D

I thought the same, but it craves the blue zone whereas I am full speed to those rare and tasty HGEs to beat the timer. ☺
