Whats all this 0.22LY to your target outpost baloney? not funny FD

[glimmerman]

I took on some missions this evening and noticed that a lot of the target outpost are taking on average ONE HOUR to get to as they are 0.13LY - 0.22LY away from the nav beacon, when was this added/changed?

 

[Cosmo Bozo]

It was added at the start, hutton orbital has always been that far away.

 

[TheThingIs]

for the MUG!

Hutton Orbital is a legend. There's even a mini faction, it's had a CG and is generally loved by the community. Everyone has to do the run at least once. Why? Because it's there.

 

[GODofDUTY83]

Its a good idea to take alook before yaleap.

Not just talking about Hutton, ive NEVER noticed any stations to be further than 750,000 ls from a nav beacon, tonight i encounter three missions in 3 different systems all with 0.** LY distances

Gotten from EDDB.io, quick and dirty copy of stations with over 1 mil ls from main sun.
But honestly you can have played from launch of elite and still not visited all 19k of inhabited systems so yeah..in fact I think its very unlikely anyone has even been in the majority.

 

[MrTetra]

My ship does the 500,000ls trip in about 15-20 mins. An hour is a bit of a stretch.

 

[tafkabb]

Hutton Orbital can take an hour and a half

 

[Armholeeio]

There is plenty of systems where the jolly out to a orbital is 40 min + from the nav beacon, my faction insists of having missions at one such place. Good pay out if you have the time or the inclination to do it. Oh and the explanation is SPACE is MAHOOOSIVE

 

[MrTetra]

I feel a time lapse video in my future.........

...in fact I think its very unlikely anyone has even been in the majority.

i have been in 5/10 of your listed systems with outposts far out. 5 of them have rares, and i did a project trading all rares...

That's cute. Except these stations are more than twice that distance away....

 

[Loki TDD]

do what i do, take a nap on the way to hutton and wake up 300k+ls past the damn thing

 

[Crabshtick]

Artin landing is 167 ly and takes 301 days. Is this for real?!
Makes Hutton look like a quick jaunt to the local shops.

Sounds like you got'em Hutton Orbital Blues

The far stations have always been in the game.
Only the real, tough space men & women go there.

I am not one of them .

I always check the distances to stations whenever possible.
And if not possible to check beforehand I just dump the mission if I discover I do not like the travel time.
I do not think I will ever see Hutton orbital, unless FD makes it really worth my while.

 

[WartailSS]

I made the Hutton run this last weekend and got myself a Hutton mug. I love the description of how the mugs are made. Good stuff.

Artin landing is only 4 million ls from the star, its 167ly from sol.
