Manual route planning?
Im currently explorer farming a sector filtered by systems visited and unvisited.

On the map im trying to outline the form of a 3d block of systems visited inside of wich i can go nuts after the boundaries are set, however, having to plan this "box" is not easy seeing as if i just plan the rout from one corner to another, the auto planner picks the best connection according to economic or furthest distance, and doesnt care if a system is outside of my own preset "box".

Now my question: Is there a way to plan routes manually? because for the life of me i could not find any way to plot routes other than automaticly.

Yes, you can plot the route manually - 1 jump at a time. Use the fastest route plotting (second tab of the Galaxy map, close to the bottom). Choose a star within your jump range. Plot the route. Jump. Repeat.

Which exactly means "nope" ^

Afaik there is unfortunately no way to plot route with more than one waypoint manually.

There is no manual planing per say, (unless you do as dolphin says) But it is something i was wanting for a long time. No idea why its not in this game , i think its very much needed.

You ask a question and people jump to assume you dont even know how to breathe.

Should you have provided the info in the first place, you would then not to have to respond in a such manner.

Also, from the experience over the years, it is far safer to assume as such rather than omit something obvious. The more obvious a thing is the more likely is such forgotten.

The hostility in your post is truly unnecessary.

I believe The answer you were given was intended to help, the question was answered whether it was the one you was looking for or not. We cant read minds and the answer was Right.

If you don't provide the relevant info, we HAVE to assume you "don't know how to breathe". So stop being an ass to someone who's just trying to help.
