Unable to plot a route to any system

I was playing this morning and had no troubles. I was flying my Hauler doing rare runs. I dock at Wolf 1301 and sell everything and then hop over to Foale Station, in the Badja system, to upgrade to a T6 Transport and then I log out to do some running around. I log back in a few hours later and can't make a route to any other system. I go to galaxy map and select the system (which the option to select it turns red) and then click on the plot route button and it does nothing. I can click on the System Map button and select a station/port but can not plot a route to it.

Anyone have any ideas on what's wrong? I have logged out and back in and that didn't help.

I had a few weird routing issues this morning.
Tried to route to a system 2 jumps away, nothing happened. Tried again nothing. Set it to economic and it routed, changed it back to fastest and it then routed correctly.
Later on in the same session, tried to route again similar distance and it routed, so I followed the route and came to the end of the route in a completely different system to the one I'd selected!! Bloody weird!
Later same day playing again after heading out to the shops and everything was routing correctly.

It wouldn't route either fastest or economical for me. I tried a bunch of different systems using both ways.

The other possibility is you took on a lot of cargo that cut your jump range. On your jump targets chart it'll say insufficient range on it... What do you see on there?

I swapped out the FSD that came with the ship for an A2 FSD. My cargo holds are empty. The jump is from the Badja system to the Wolf 1301 (or any other system.) I tried the economical routing, nothing happens, and I tried the fastest route and nothing happens. My jump slider is set to 0 as I have nothing in my holds. I am not out of fuel.... this time. I am actually sitting in the Foale station and fully topped off in fuel.

A single jump to Wolf 1301 is a little beyond my range yet, but I should be able to do a couple of jumps to get there. The problem isn't fuel. The problem is that the game isn't letting me make a route to ANY other system, other than as a single jump. When I go to the galaxy map and select a system, click on the Route icon, nothing happens. If I click on the icon for system info, to look at the stations and planets in that system, and then click on the route icon after selecting somewhere, I get the message that routing is unavailable.

It isn't user error this time..... I think. =p

Thats your problem right there, You swapped a class 4 drive for a class 2 which gave you a jump range or less than 4ly. A D4 drive is more powerful than an A2.

This is almost certainly a problem with your FSD. Make sure you double check that you didn't accidentally put in an A class fighters drive instead of a freighter one.

I'm sorry, but I was unaware that there are different drives for freighters and fighters. I will log on and check it out.

There isnt. But you have to have the right FSD for your size ship. You swapped yours for a much weaker one.

Huh. Ok, well this will sound stupid: Which FSD should I buy? C4? I could buy a B4, but that would leave me no money at all.

I guess it was operator error again! /facepalm

Thanks for the info. I swapped out the A2 drive for a C4 drive and was able to get to Wolf 1301 in a single bound! It's so nice to be able to do that now!

Thank you all for the help!

The one you sold was a D4. Thats what came with the ship. So that will do until you can afford another but the bigger it is the further you go.

Look at the outfitting screen, underneath in red is the max size number you can fit. Numbers are size. The letters are quality. Then look at the numbers on the right, this shows you the changes to your ship the selected item will have. Take particular notice of the jump range in this case. You want that to be at least in double figures or you will struggle to get anywhere.

Also just incase you dont already know, make sure when you launch you save enough money for the insurance if you blow up. No good spending every penny on outfitting and cargo then blowing up and losing the lot and be back in your sidewinder.
