How to pass the time?

[Khaliza]

I'm making deliveries on time, but I'm arriving at destinations with a lot of time to spare, is there a way to make the time go by quickly?

[Toola]

right now you can't sadly. you just have to plan your route the more efficiently possible, and then just wait the time you have left before the delivery in real time

I'd say avoid doing just in time jobs, you can also hunt salvage once you arrive if you have the scanner from the moon baby questline

For now, I know one way that can work and is to jump back and forth between the jumping gates, but you have to calculate the jumping time so as not to miss the delivery window. 🤔
Not the most effective way to do it, but for now I don't know any other way. 🤷‍♂️
I personally gave up on these orders until better ways will appear... 😅

Yeah, just jump back and forth... You can see how much time it'll take off.
Luckily you don't lose too much for being late on those deliveries, maybe 5-10% from personal experience...
I prefer this to waiting 40 minutes doing nothing but drain the batteries.
If it's 10 minutes, I'll make sure the systems are good, batteries are replaced and drop the trailer to visit the shops.

I was early 20 mins for a Just in time load.
I pulled into the gas station and shut the engine/thrusters down, and listened to the radio.

When you have your scanner you can salvage

If this is something that happens, game could probably benefit from a time skip feature.
(Just like you would do in games like, for example, Skyrim. Where you open a menu and select "Wait for x hours". In this case, "Wait for x minutes")

It's a feature of the game. Just-In-Time deliveries are high premium so you should only take them on after calculating your arrival window. If you arrive early, as mentioned elsewhere, once you have the scanner, you can park the cargo temporarily and use the time to salvage, which should offset the extra costs wasted in battery and filter drain.

But to offer a time skip without the cost penalty would break the balance of the Just-In-Time premium bonus.

True, you are right. I forgot about the upkeeps
