"you can fly from one star to another without hyperdrive"

[Jason]

I've been trying and it doesn't work. It seems like I get a certain distance away from the planets and then stop moving, as I never get farther away from the planets.
I've been trying to fly to another star without the hyperdrive because Sean said you could do that, it would only take a long time. But it seems to not work at all. I can't even fly to the sun of the current solar system I'm in!!!

What gives? Did he lie about that?

Pulse Drive maxes out at 9,999u - Moving at 250u (while over a planet) seems to simulate about 500mph (roughly) or Mach 0.65. So 9,999u should equate 19,998mph (or Mach 26).

To put that in perspective. Traveling at 20,000mph. It would take you 12 hours to get from Earth to the Moon.

The game obviously takes that into consideration and moved objects within Star-systems to be closer to one another.

A Space-Craft traveling at 33,000mph, would have to travel for 6 hours to cover the same distance equal to 1-second of "light'.

TLDR: 1 Light Year = 5,878,499,810,000 Miles. Even if these spacecrafts were pumping 1,000,000MPH - You're looking at 5,878,499.81 hours of Travel. -When does school start again?

Interesting -- how far do you suppose one planet is from the next in any of these systems? judging by scale of planet? probably about same distance from the moon so does it take you 12 hours to get to another planet in the same system? nah there's no simulation here it's loading screens.

If you try too hook NMS into any memory editing tool you want (Sysviwerer, ODBD or any other memory viewer) you can pretty mch see that if you track your movment the starbase is the "0" point in your system and the max distanze is "FFFFFFFF" witch you reach after 3 hours of flying straight in 1 direction after that the game glitches more and more or if lucky prevents you from moving on at all.

So thats it for that. You can not move further awayy than that.
No way of reaching the sun (Should be an asses or probably skybox) and zero way of reaching another system without using the loading screen ähh i mean the hyperjump...

it would take years to do that. You dont even travel 1/10th of the speed of light in this game. The stars are days away, another system yeara. Yes you can reach them, but its impractical to do so.

Taking our solar system as a practical example, Sun is ~8 light minutes away from Earth. If "pulse engines" would allow you to travel even only at 1/100 of speed of light, if would take you 800 minutes to collide with the sun if starting from earth. This game is physically as accurate, as devs' promises.

Why would you even want to do such a thing with using you pulse engine? It would probably take you lik 100,000 real years waiting to get to the next star if you could do it. LOL. The dumb things people complain about.

It's the principle of the matter. If you can't even in theory fly from one star to another (let alone the star in the center of the local system) without using a special loading screen transition method, then you're just stuck in a series of independent and individual small spaces, not one large galaxy. And just that they said that you could do it when you can't is enough of a problem in itself. Obviously it makes little practical difference, but they should have just been honest about it.

At least in Kerbal you're totally free to fly into the sun. =)

Also, if you can't reach the local star, that basically means that in every system of the game all of the planets are permanently stuck on one side of the sun, otherwise you could never reach them. That just kicks space immersion right in the nuts. =/

There is technically a way to do it:

I don't think black holes require a functioning hyperdrive, I know they don't use up fuel. So if you happen to be in a system with a black hole, you could jump to another system without hyperdrive, by taking the black hole route.

I'm sure it was BS, but even you could it would takes thousands of years... So who cares? >_>;

He did say you could literally fly from one system to another, but I think it's pretty obvious that the limitations of the playstation would never allow that.

It is true that you get a certain distance then you just can't go further, although you can use pulse drive and it say's you're moving at max pulse, but you don't actually go anywhere.

I left game on pulse drive when I went out and came back about an hour later and was still same distance from planet. :)

Yeah, who cares about being lied to over and over again about things that barely even matter.

...that clearly does not say anything about a person's character.

has anyone of you calculated..**** if you could ***do it how long it would take?

Thank you. Lol. I have been finding most problems on here to be cases of poor PCing (not understanding that a PC is more than just a graphics driver) and people apparently have never heard of physics.

hear hear, has everyone in this thread watched the star citizen alpha 3.0 video? Planets actually orbit around a sun, no BS.

I don't think anybody is willing to let themselves care about SC until it at least leaves alpha a decade from now.

Hey; everybody cares about NMS, and it's alpha to this day, even tough it was released for $60. And with SC they've actually shown some gameplay, not some prerendered crap. There's visible progress, development team is in constant contact with community, and they're open about what's happening. Still, I'm not saying anyone should be hyped for SC. Everything's always pretty until one gets to play with it by themselves ;)

I'm not sure if you're aware how much they are showing all the time, and what is playable right now.

There is a ship that you can fly in the game that is bigger than most multiplayer maps. You can have a shootout with pirates trying to take your ship, people using guns doing FPS combat in the rooms of the ship, while the actual ship is fighting other spaceships. That's so much ridiculous stuff that you can already do.

Alpha 3 introduces so much, like jobs. Space trucking is literally the next update after Star Marine

If only NMS didn't crash on PS4 it would have been a fun game for what it's worth, but despite all the lies and whatever, it could have been an alright game, too bad it crashes on ps4 :(
