Travel to previously visited location

[Damon]

The thought just occured me now. Is there any way doing that? I mean if you been in one galaxy and traveled far away but for some reason want to go back. Is there a way or will I be forced to abuse Warp until I reach there?

Is this a serious question?

Why can't it be? I'm still a n00b lol.

Thats not abusing warp, thats just using it as intended. With a high grade warp drive, navigator and pathfinder, you can warp really far. When I have more than a couple hundred parsecs to cover, I tend to equip a ton of sensors to meet my warp range and focus on dark sectors in hopes of finding tinheads, ravagers, etc

Fast travel is not needed in this game imo, its not a fixed map so nothing is forcing you 1,000 parsecs from home, so if something drew you out that far, you should be able to make the return trip worth the time as well. I've definitely gone in straight lines for 20+ jumps in a dreadnought and then thought "oh, no. What have I done? I'm going to be waitng all day for warp recahrges" but grabbing a big bag of relics in the way home usually sooths the irritation.

Part of the game challenge is the warp recharge time, combined with its cost. Not a lot of games have that, usually just one or the other , and a fast travel system would negate that entirely aside from New system exploration. It would take out a lot of fun just to save people from the entirely avoidable situation of flying far from home. Just my 2 cents

They're just asking about fast travel, its not uncommon or unreasonable request. I just don't think it fits the game. Maybe programming sequenyial destinations ahead of time, but still requiring manual activation, but that gets weird with swappable warp drives

The warp gates are really only used very early game. Once you have a warp drive you will probably never use them again
