Trying to get to Pleiades

[element303]

Hey guys. I am currently in Wolf 1241 and there seem to be no way to continue going to the Pleiades. The lines that connect most of the systems are gone after the area where I am even though they seem close to each other. How do I get there?

First question: do you have enough fuel?

Have you set your Route Plotter to "Fastest Routes" and not "Economical Routes"?

[Xjph]

The jump lines are only drawn within a certain radius of your location. As you move you'll see new ones.

That said, you should be able to plot a route directly to any of the Pleiades systems from anywhere in the bubble. Just search for any one of them, Merope for example, and plot a route.

They literally stop showing where I am. I have 2 tanks for fuel and they are full. I cant plot a route directly. I get an error. Probably cause its too far but even the next systems I cant plot a route. I have a Viper MK3

I didnt knew I could change the setting to Econmic or fast. I will go back and try again.

Can you tell us what error? It might help out quite a bit.

Also, how far out from the Bubble are you? The route plotter only works for up to 1,000 lys, so if you're beyond that, you'll have to fly in the general direction closer.

The game just doesn't want you blowing up Barnicles ;)

it sounds to me like you may be very high (or low) from the ecliptic. Navigation can be very tricky at the extreme upper and lower edge of the map (beware the BLEAH sector...lol)

as a straight shot from GQ Virginis i use the Pleides (Maia) as a "safe" place to land after looooong trips out (12,000 ly kinda stuff)....

but NO jump lines....yup...i most certainly have encountered that.....BLEAH !

Quick question. Which type stars I can fuel scoop? There are not a lot of yellow stars around on this route.

Right now I am at HIP 16709 trying to make my way to the Pleiades Nebula in the background

KGBFOAM are all the scoopable star types :)

Basically the mostly normal ones, dwarf stars are not included in that and a couple of others right?

The only ones that work are the yellow ones. But some of them show yellow on the map but when you get there they are red.

K G B F O A and M type stars are all scoopable and are the only scoopable stars. there are some other types which look similar but are not scoopable like the Tauri stars. they can be red, yellow or white
watch out for nutron stars... or watch out for thier gravitational field rather, you cant see much but a small dot lol hope you have a heat sink when you run into one... litteraly lol

ok....i take that back... HIP 16709 is close enough to the "median"....no worries there

i wonder about the jump range of the Viper....is it possible you are being stopped simply because all of the "close" starts are beyond your jump range ?

i spend most of my game time exploring around in an asp...plenty happy to help

just not quite sure how

[element303]

I cant get to the next stars. Jump exceeds blabla of 1.2 tons

Do you have map filters turned on?
