That's far too much bother for me. I'm not in much of a hurry most of the time!

I can relate. Maybe now that I have the Python, I'll get around to try that...
Regarding the SCA, I usually use it if I am heading for a station or some signal source, but if my target location is on a planet, I cruise manually (unless I have to travel over a long distance - I'd rather find my ship orbiting the target planet than being somewhere thousands of LS out in the black because I dozed off...).
I can appreciate that. I only use it when running long haul cargo, usually for a cg. Every little bit shaved off saves time over iterations...I also hot jump my T9 to get past stars as fast as possible...That's far too much bother for me. I'm not in much of a hurry most of the time!
I use SCA a lot. I'll watch YT while I wait to get where I'm going.That's far too much bother for me. I'm not in much of a hurry most of the time!

Ok then, off to do some shopping at T'u Tu. Hope my poor carrier can withstand a mighty jump of 28 LY. Also hope it parks at the correct body as there seems to be some sort of "carrier destination not valid" (or something) bug that I found a possible workaround fix in Reddit for.
Chocks away chaps.

Yep, there’s a known bug since U14 with selecting a specific system as FC destination - and an ez workaround til it likely gets fixed in U15 soon enough…

yep sometimes in busier systems one has to even be a few LS from your preferred Tritium buffet - “how’s my parking? …it’s ok we can walk to the curb from here!”
The workaround is: when you get the "not valid" message, exit back one screen to the galmap. Select your system again, go into its sysmap and reselect your body. Voila! Valid destination!

Yes, everyone in the Bubble should buy Tritium. In Colonia it is a different story as supply is miniscule in the stations.
But you're only going at normal thruster speed. Supercruise is an Alcubierre drive warp so your ship isn't actually travelling at relativistic speed.
Granted, going down from several hundred metres per second to virtually zero quite quickly would normally be bad for you as a soft squidgy human, but I can't see why a well-built ship would splatter itself across the star system.
No need, you can override it with the acceleration setting in the panel 4 options (Ship > Supercruise Assist > Manual Throttle), so pressing max thruster will keep you at max speed and you just move into the blue for the final approach at 0'07".

Good to now about this option - though, as I tend to use SCA for AFK/feeding the cat etc., I will probably stick to the slower auto-throttle / full cruise-control as it gives me a few xtra secs/minutes to boil the kettle / brew the tea, etc... :]
This is where I am right now - haven't had the chance to explore yet though. Later!
Thargoid base? Got a Thargoid sensor with you?This is where I am right now - haven't had the chance to explore yet though. Later!
The point is that the field is disengaged (it disappears) at that point and the ship is subjected to the deceleration from that speed, that is why there is a safe speed to disengage and any disengaging at higher speeds (emerg drop) produces damage. At the enormous speeds the SCA exploit drops at, the ship would explode.
Oh well, here we go again then.
Went to station in T9, picked up 756 tons of tritium and made it safely back to carrier. After docking, went to R/H panel in ship, then Inventory and the 756 tons of tritium showed there.
Went to Transfer and clicked on "confirm transfer to carrier" (or some wording like that) and the tritium then showed as gone from ship. Clicked on Carrier Management but tritium doesn't show any more in the fuel tank than what I had before.
Clicked on Tritium Depot but shows zero Tritium. Clicked on carrier Commodities Market and doesn't show there. I was clicking all over the place, but no joy...
Have I missed something? Cheers guys.
