Is it just me or does anyone else miss having the ship drop out of frame shift to minimum throttle, instead of remaining wide open from when you jumped. I have had more emergency stops from forgetting and nearly flying into stars lol.
Throttle down after frame shift
- Thread starter Jetster220
- Start date
My throttle setting is on 25%. So once the countdown starts it's 3 clicks and I'm good. It's a habit now.

I miss when you could throttle down in jump. Yeah, you can throttle down now during the countdown but I refuse to believe the designers thought it was a good idea dropping folk that close to stars at full throttle.
This is what I do also
I much prefer the way it is now. I almost always bank left or right and pull into a tight orbit around the star to fuel scoop and scooping at full throttle gets your tanks topped off a lot faster, so again, having the throttle already up where I want it to be saves me a step.
If I want a dead stop when I arrive, I just hold down my LB while in hyperspace and then when I jump out my throttle is zeroed.
Ha, I never even thought about trying to throttle down during the countdown, will start doing that. But I agree, I don't know why the designers would think it to be a good idea to drop from Frame Shift wide open heading straight at a star lol. I had a real OH moment last night when I forgot, damn near blew up from overheating trying to Supercruise back away.
Repped4u.
Not strictly true. Because you are never stationary in supercruise, if you are close to the star and at minimum speed, you can still get your full rate of scoopness (?).
So if you have a lower class scoop and are bored running circles round the sun at full throttle, just drop to minimum speed and chill, at least until your ship starts to melt that is

...will get you fried if you jump in between two stars close together.

Not true.
We aren't talking all that much in saving though - more slight inconveniences. However if you know the star type before jumping in then you are set.
Jump in to a Neutron Star system at full throttle ... Will be an unpleasant / mild heart stopping experience at best
Not if you're paying attention. Jump in no star = cut throttle.
I was referring to the scoop which will not get up to max if you are flying at min cruise speed (as suggested by the earlier post).
