Cannot get out of jump drive

[GmanUK1965]

I got this game this morning and have been on this forum more than playing the game with all these problems.

The Jump drive. I start jump drive then auto pilot to destination then come out of auto pilot when close to destination but the jump drive doesn't stop so i fly by my destination. How do I get out of jump drive?

If using keyboard.. just hit F.

[Kobey]

you can also simply 'point' your nose at the desired location and when it gets within a certain distance it will come out of it without hitting 'f'...so you don't slam into structures and the like.

If you disable auto-pilot, then you will stay in supra-light because the game doesnt know which location you want to go.

So the answer is: Leave auto-pilot on, and then the game will transport you to your chosen destination.

The idea that you can start jump drive and then not exit it is dumb as dirt.

Just use autopilot and let it run the ship to the point...you'll exit automatically....unless you smack into a planet...not seen that yet...but the blaring warnings are a little obvious lol.

Why the rigmarole? Just let one exit jump drive by hitting the C key again.

You do realize the irony of your statement right? You make the game more complex by allowing manual dropping from supralight.

What's more complicated of aim at your destination...tap a key..and sit back?

Press F or the reverse thruster button

Pressing F or the reverse thrust button does not take you out of jump drive. More complex?No, the problem is that the game is only set up for certain specific locales not open space, so, unless you're in a prescribed zone you're stuck. Not an open world game. It's just jumping from one lily pad to another with no real in between.

They never said it was an open world game last I checked...so I fail to see the issue here.
If anything its not that much different than Everspace 1 in that regard.

I believe the goal is when you are traveling on auto-pilot or not while in jump you will see events like, "distress signal" or "undiscovered location" you cannot just drop out right then to stop and investigate. The work around is to turn off autopilot and select the event as your new waypoint and turn autopilot back on to fly to it. I think that is how I am doing it.

I don't even know which game he thinks is like that. Elite dangerous will allow you to just jump out of hyperdrive but 100% of the time you don't land on predefined locations you'll be in a vast black screen with nothingness, so it's more of a troll attack than anything reasonable.

Don't disable auto-pilot, it will take you all the way to the destination and then it will exit Hyperdrive automatically. When you exit Hyperdrive you enter cruise drive automatically. You can disable cruise drive by hitting the button that enables cruise drive or by hitting reverse thrusters.

Elite Dangerous's Hyperdrive/Jump Drive locks you in between star systems... UNLESS you get nailed by a alien with an jump drive interdiction mod (unless you have the counter to it)
and yes...there is a way to force your ship to fall short by encountering an uncharted system that can't be seen on the map....but the games massive...and that's rare in itself. Requires a little bit of guessing and work....never done it myself.

But I digress....this is nothing like Everspace 2...coincidental it may be...its not open world by any means.

I mean they could implement an „empty space pocket“ where you land in when you midcancel the jump drive, I mean its just an useless bandaid suggestion bit hey I at least give some ideas.
