Would you attempt this ?

So i'm 50 minutes into a stacked passenger mission in solo, fail at first attempt into neutron star and drop .. second attempt i'm actually in the star and operating beyond fsd safety limits and then get interdicted. Literally was over in a second, didn't get chance to do a simple evasion and dropped. Everything damaged and could not carry on even after several attempts at rebooting in the 7.5 minutes i had :mad:

I have the rebuy, that's not an issue .. just soul destroying that this can happen, or am i missing something? is this somebody would anybody would attempt to do?

I have escaped a similar situation in my Cutter - I got interdicted into the danger zone. The only possible way out, I believe, is to reduce throttle to zero, charge your FSD, and as the FSD hits it full charge throttle up and boost. If you are lucky, the FSD will take and you might escape. I have only managed this in my Cutter - it didn't work in my DBX!

Personally, I found the experience very enjoyable. :)

However sorry I am for you, I'm also glad that space still carries some danger. But from the written I'm not sure whether you've been destroyed or not. If not, rebooting is the way to go, after you get the FSD to work try to high wake with heat sinks. Not an expert, but that is what I'd try to do.

My own fault i guess, i plotted a course with jet cone boost to try and save me some time :)

Just never imagined it would be possible, if that's the correct way to put it ... i guess anything is possible out there. Live and learn eh.

I've ditched one interdiction in a star cone - a white dwarf at that. By holding course and pushing ahead, I was able to super charge and emerge from the cone with plenty enough time to throw off my interdictor - who surprisingly, was not waiting to try again some nearly 70 Ly away.

Thread title reminds me of...

"Passenger ship goes WILD (18+) in neutron star. YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!! (Grandparents react).

In that situation, your best bet (IMO) is to use your nav-panel to target every system shown, one at a time, and see if your ship ever points at the system you've got targeted.
If it doesn't, try the next system down.
If it does, jump out.
If you can't find a system that your ship can point at, and allow you to jump, you're boned.

It's much quicker to charge to supercruise rather than hyperspace, and you also don't need to maintain a particular heading for supercruise. You just need to fly straight for long enough for the FSD to kick in.

SC seems to fail a lot more frequently though, in my experience, at least.

Course, my experience was sitting in my Annie as it spun around and round until I ran out of air. :eek:

Every time I tried to enter SC to escape, I'd get a malfunction.
Every time I tried to jump, the FSD would charge but I'd get the "align with target" message.

Thats the right attitude. :) Things can go wrong, and now you've learned a new one. General rule: avoid neutrons unless you have a good reason not to!
