Warping into stars? How much of a problem is it?

[777Driver]

Of course, what's "best" also depends on other factors such as your ship. Exiting hyperspace on full throttle may well be faster with ships like the Asp, maybe even safer. But try that with a stripped down Anaconda and you'll be constantly struggling against it's woefully poor turning speed.

Dude, I do full throttle in a T9 & Conda when jumping, absolutely no struggle involved lol

Sorry, I refute that advice. It may be what the guides say, but that is for amateurs

Different opinion here. It´s a safety thing just getting used to it. And it doesn´t hurt or anything. 1 in X000 times you´re sleepy or drunk and with a neutron star that would be it.

Speaking of warping to stars. Why to we warp to them anyway?
Why not the edge of the system? For example, flying into Sol, I would love to drop out near the Oort Cloud, Eris, or Pluto. Then have to cruise in toward the center.

Someone mentioned the drive targeting the largest mass in the system, which does make sense, just wish I had different options.

The suns are like lighthouses for navigations I guess. I thought about that too, but imagine to fly to the next scoopable star after being warped x.000 kly away from it. And you never know how big a system is ... so how would you calculate "edge"?

Question: Is the galaxy map really that accurate when zoomed in on multiple star systems? So you can judge whether the next jump MAY be a danger when coming from the wrong angle?

In my opinion, exploration could be a little riskier. Not enough to kill you in a single stupid mistake, but enough that each slip up was a real event, the sum of which might possibility to force you to turn back, taking the safest routes possible. This would make people staying out for weeks at a time, 10s of 1000s of LY from Sol, truly impressive feats of piloting.

lol.. always that few elitists the enjoy grinding for hours to days to months to have all their efforts erased by a random event. I guess I'd be okay with it too, forced to turn back, if it didn't take literally HOURS to get a few thousand LYs from Sol. Or maybe a smattering of Explorer Outposts around the Galaxy for repairing damaged ships so it doesn't take you forever limping back home and hoping nothing else bad happens to undo all your hard work.

As it is, the thought I could randomly pop out in a jump and have my ship toasted by RNGesus is a real boner killer for my exploring desires.

With this kind of thinking humanity would stay in Stone Age forever. Just imagine Columbus refusing to go anywhere because there arent any explorer outposts along the route and sailing across the ocean takes fraking months and even years.

It seems to me your problem is not RNGesus or elitists (seriously...?!) but your own exploring desires. Or lack of it, more precisely.

Yeah complete necro, it can happen with the right google search but should really be killed off - still nice to see 777Driver was attacking stars in his T9 even two years ago

I recently completed a 1700 jump trip to holy twins, and I had one jump where I went THROUGH the secondary star, fuel scooped started and stopped in 0.5 seconds. And the star was at a 50-100ls orbit. But I went right through the middle. And it legitimately scared me. I had to catch my breath lol

Lol. Yeh happened to me recently on the 6-month SHEPARD Mission. Terrified I was going to lose 5 months of data!

I always prepare my journey's very, very, very good, even with checking binary stars. last time, I dropped out of witch space in a dangerous binary. luckily, the second star was on the opposite side but when i checked the Galmap (see realistic mode, if you see multiple stars at you destenation, it is a close binary) and i didn't saw anything.
