Jumping to other solar systems?

[thyborg27]

How do I jump to another solar system? I see them in my map of my solar system but does not give me the option to go there. I have a warp drive that is filled above 100%.

You just need to find the planet that links with them.

Thank you. I will give it a go.

just click on the text on the white line and it will move to the planet in that solar system and click lock target. be carefull it can cost upwards of 500 petaxid to make that jump

At the risk of stating what you may already know. Once you lock the planet make sure your cursor is pointed directly at it, your at max speed and then press "K".

I only added this because when I tried my first jump I had no clue and totally missed any mention of "K" when looking at keybinds etc.

Related question, i have gone everywhere i can with my sv so i wanted to make cv and got to other systems but it says the range of the cv warp is max 25 au wich is barely more than my sv and there dont seem to be any upgrade for it. i have all the links but the other systems are like 300 away, so how?

SP or on a server Furry ?

SP you can open console and type sector reveal
hit enter.
This should show all planets on galaxy map to warp to, you might find you have missed one somewhere that links you to it.
Any planet you have not been to, means there could be warp lanes undiscovered.

MP, explore more.
I have seen a few servers set up incorrect where the system is fragmented to a point that you cant reach anything, but they are very rare, most of the server operators for Empyrions popular servers are pretty good.
I would be a little shocked if a popular, populated server had this problem now.
There is alot more data / info available now than a couple of years ago about how to run a servers and build scenarios, for the server.

Max warp range is limited only by how much pentaxid you can fit in your tank.

i see. thanks. game fooled me again, always saying one thing and doing the opposite^^ Single player. I have the links, but was confused because it says "the range is limited to 25 AU " on the warp drive

Some MP servers will have steep warp costs, but on the the default maps, it seems like it's rare to exceed the 20-25 range. That was done to make it possible for the SV warp system. That said, the warp lines on the default maps frequently make no kind of sense, so you may be doing a lot of zig-zagging and back-tracking to get where you want to go. Nothing is more annoying that having to do a 180 with the ship and head back the way you came. Eventually, they'll work on that... probably. Maybe. I hope they do.

Best advice is to get an Auto-miner down on a pentax deposit in an orbit that stay loaded (I seem to remember that by default, 2 can stay loaded, more can be assigned), and keep it fueled with the largest fuel cells possible. That will give you plenty of pentaxid to explore. Honestly, though, the default SP game maps are pretty small. If you get bored, try your skills on in MP.

yea i kinda hate the way the map is laid out. So much back and forth and having to stop at every planet. Feels more like running the tourist gauntlet than exploring space

[ravien_ff]

Autominers work while you are away from them. They don't need the playfield to stay loaded.

Im pretty sure thats ok to do, if you could confirm i haven't tried since A12

No you can't.

[esckay]

okay so any ideas on how i get to a solar system that is 600 plus au away when the tank can only hold 500 au. i cant refuel in mid flight and i cant find a larger tank.
or has it changed in A12 and the distances are less?
