Yesterday i learned you can actually initiate a misjump. We were fighting goids in a wing out near asterope. Because of wing bugs one of our squad kept blue screening out of game (ps4) as soon as the jump would start. any ways the first time when he logged back in he was 34k ls out into his destination system. The second time he was in a nearby system just a jump away but a completely wrong system from where he was targeting. Each of these jumps were only a few ly away, 10 max. Imagine if it were a neutron boost jump....

I know game closing is against the rules for pvp but i wonder how this counts if one were to intentionally close the app to create misjumps.

Losing connection to the Servers can have various effects.
Due to the Client being surprisingly tolerant to connection issues (AFAIK upto 1 full Minute of connection loss in SuperCruise), the own Ship can end up in a totally different place than the Client showed the Player.
While awkward when logging back in, it's quite common with Networking issues.

I've made plenty of "Network lagged out" Jumps. Effects included :
  • Ship was found parked at ~50Ls from the main star (despite having been elsewhere within the System in SuperCruise)
  • Ship was found in the original System (Connection loss during Hyperjump) but Fuel for said jump was discounted from the Ship
  • Ship was found in the Destination System despite seeing nothing but an "endless Hyperjump tunnel" (Client had to be manually terminated via Task Manager)
  • Ship found crashed into Sun's Body Exclusion Zone in Destination System after Client only gave black screen instead of showing arrival in new System and stalled Audio loop (Client apparently still had Ship flying forward)

Thus, I wouldn't make anything out of it.

I have fancied the treasure map for a long time, as you know. To me, it makes sense given "what once was lost will soon be found", etc. Still have the map but whoever's knew how to read it has died????

Rookie mistake. Always keep your clay tablet player software updated and ported to astronomical computer. Some of these contemporary spaceships can't even read cuneiform, resulting in hauling tons of burned clay for no purpose at all. This tablet here shows how to reach MULMUL - 𒀯𒀯, the celestial home of anzu birds and other flying creatures. To properly understand the omens involved, a sacrifice of barley flour must be made when Ishtar is in the constellation of Goat-Fish. Anointing your head with sheep-fat before any long distance exploration might also be beneficial.

Do you understand, that Gaia's map is NOT complete YET as for today ? :Dhttps://www.esa.int/Science_Explora...tes_richest_star_map_of_our_Galaxy_and_beyond
That one should give us proper 3d coords for closest stars ...so everything we could plot here - are projections and speculations for some degree, and once we have already 3D map inside Elite ...how can we relay on projections to Earth sky ? It MAY match 3D in game only for very close stars I think.

ED uses JD2000 data. IMO you can ignore any source outside of ED which is newer than that unless it's been hand authored.

Like Trappist-1 for example

www.pcgamer.com

Elite: Dangerous introduces real-life TRAPPIST-1 system

The space adventure's update 2.3 now reflects NASA's real world data.
www.pcgamer.com www.pcgamer.com

However this is damn incredible...

www.polygon.com

Elite: Dangerous ‘predicted’ the discovery of the Trappist-1 system

Sort of. Developers found something very similar after NASA’s announcement.

Of course.
Also much of the star data FD used is good on angular accuracy but less accurate on distance, as you’d expect. I think this is why the Broken Heart “Nebula” (IC1802 I vaguely recall) is located between NGC 7822 and the Heart Nebula, wheras in practice it should be located at the heart (😉) of the Heart Neb. IRL it’s bright stars are creating the cavity at the centre of the Heart Neb. This was one of the factors that led me to investigate that area, that and the fact that Broken Heart is a great solution to the Parent’s Grief and Lover’s Woe. I also investigated Broken Heart Cluster, which is a long way in the opposite direction, towards Col70.

I wonder do you Raxxla tinfoil hatter's will found use of Fleet Carier at your disposal ?
I want to buy one and put it for some honorable Don Quichotte like service. :alien::alien::alien:

I think an FC as essential to finding Raxxla....but that's because I really want one and have absolutely no use for one, so need to justify to myself why I'm doing a complete tour of the rim to save up UC data to buy one :)

I could be wrong, but I think the nebulae are all in the wrong places because they forgot to adjust the co-ordinates to J2000 epoch when entering them. LBN625 and other planetary nebula are all a bit offset from their host stars too.

Oops, goats again, must be a portent!
For those without sheeps-fat, can we use beef dripping? Or if in Europe olive oil? 😉

I still think that's wrong... I'm thinking the mother of galaxies thing, and the brightest star in Cassiopeia is Alpha Cass, (Gamma Cass is the central star of the crown). What happens to the triangle if we were to use it's coordinates instead?

The trouble with trying to decipher the toast is that there are multiple solutions to each part.
For the jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of galaxies could also be Gemma, or Sol (as previously discussed ages ago 🙂)

Quite so, and that's assuming the toast means anything at all, and isn't just the hopes and dreams of an earlier bunch ot tinfoil hatters.
