This has to be the worst station placement ever in the history of this universe's lore.

Dea Motrona star system - Pinzon Dock

It's a whopping 1,758,669.37 Ls away from the arrival point. Takes ~20+ minutes to reach it.

10/10, this game even simulates human stupidity.

That's nothing compared to Hutton Orbital, thats 0.25Ly away.

makes for a nice buffer zone against attacks, Theyd have plenty of time to see them coming thats for sure.

I think you've found the CODE hideout.

Alpha Centauri? Just saw that as well. One station at 5M and other at 6.7M. I wonder if anyone actually visits. It must take at least an actual hour to reach a station.

Almost went to Hutton last night when someone posted they sold over-charged weapons ( as a joke ). Glad I checked before I hit "J" .

Do all rare goods stations have the much of a distance though? Not really.

In those 60 minutes it takes to reach the actual station, you would have jumped like 100 systems to increase value instead.

It only takes 42 minutes to get to Hutton. I went there once, just to do it. Before they had a rare commodity.

Visit Hutton Orbital is on my to do list. If only so I can buy the T-Shirt.

What is it with this game that makes you want to do stupid things like that? I mean, seriously, I've spent hours looking at computer simulated stars...

Awesome stuff.

Agrar Therenus · Apr 23, 2015

What's clearly needed here is the option to choose which star to warp to, or the ability to make a quick jump if the stars are very distant in the system, I'd say anything over 20/30,000ls away is fair enough.

People who have visited Hutton orbital knows what happens during the 1,5 hour supercruise

There a nice easter egg if you do it. But it´s easy to miss so you have to watch the screen all the time.

katheb · Apr 23, 2015

It would be interesting if stations that are out of the way had special missions / goods etc to incentivize going to them.

Gavski · Apr 23, 2015

Hmm, I won't spoil the easter egg (because I don't know if I'm right), but does it have anything to do with things man-made?

I saw pictures of the Voyager probe on the screenies thread, and couldn't work-out if it was a fake, or actually in game. If in-game - it's a fantastic idea! I love game designers who do that sort-of thing.

That's just awesome and got to give at least a hat tip to FD.

Maybe they just really, really, don't like cold-callers?

Don't worry, some kind soul has already removed the debris as it was a blatant hazard to space traffic

I have seen Voyager 2 in game. It is 2mly away from the nearest star.
