Map a route

[Vincent90!]

How can I map a route ? Can't access others planets

[FrameShy]

you have to warp the nearest one you're close to and then just keep warping until you reach your destonation

You can fly with using Arrows(← ↑ →), and when you near needed Planet you can press 'L' and landing.

Or you mean how jump in other systems?

If you have not yet explored enough to know the route to another system, you either have to buy a map in the Outfitter or just explore until you get there.

I flew for half an hour, or more, in the general direction of the system I needed to get to and with abosolutely nothing else to do one the way (not good) and never found the system I needed. I then returned to the closest outfitter to hopefully buy a map that would open that system up for me. I unhappily found that the map, singular, you can buy is not designated to any system and it did absolutely nothing on my star map. So how exactly are we supposed to find new star systems?

If the outfitter allowed you to buy a starmap, it did add something to your (M)ap. Starmaps always reveal everything within 2 hyperjumps of your current location.

To access another system, you can't just fly there with normal engines; It's too far: You need to use a hyperdrive. To use the hyperdrive, come to a complete stop, point yourself in the direction of the system you want to jump to, and press the (J)ump key.

Or, you can open the (M)ap, select a connected system with the mouse, go back to the combat window, and press the (J)ump key, and the autopilot will handle the stopping and orientation before executing the hyperjump. the autopilot can even string together multiple jumps if you select a system in the (M)ap that is further than one jump away.

Thank you GodMark. I had the basics of travel down but the map confused me. I now understand how buying maps work and I finally got top the first uncharted system that I had a mission for. Thank you again as that cleared up my sole question for now
