Mars Planet Coordinates?

[Winter Eclipse]

Anybody got the coordinates for the Mars planet? I dont feel like going through all the trial and error trying to figure it out for my jump drive :p

It's different eahc time a new world is created. The planets are pre-made...but placement is random.

Mars is the Red (orange) planet it is visible from the others in the Star System map.

I... I uh... I know what Mars looks like? Sorry I swear I'm not trying to be rude but that seemed like kind of a "Well duh!" moment x3

To get there as quick as possible, that depends on the mods you want to use (speed mod etc.)

Essentially, your best bet is to build a jump drive with as great a jump distance as possible. Then (this is what I do when I do not know the exact distance) is map jump and increase & decrease distance to the toolbar.
After that, I just start on a reasonable guesstimate and press jump. If it says I can jump, i cancel and up the distance. Rinse soak repeat until it refuses to jump because you'll end up in a natural gravity field. And there you go, thats how far away it is.

Thats dependant on the distance to the planet and the capability of the jump drive. Otherwise you have to fly there yourself.

If you wanted to be cheeky about it, you could make an easy start on Mars, save the coords then commit suicide. Then just do your Earth easy start and there you go you know the exact distance. Though, I'd consider that cheating.

That is a very good method! Thank you! I agree with you on the last part though hehe

Sorry, what I meant to say is point your nose at the red planet and blind jump the maximum distance. If it's still in front of you then do it again. The jump drive will not jump you into the planet.

Aaah! That makes much more sense, thanks for the tip!
