Quantum slipstream drive

[zeustheking30]

several times I tried setting course to a system, only to be stopped at the outermost edge, when I try to go to full impulse, I get told something about the "quantum slipstream drive not available".

What am I doing wrong and what do I do abput it?

In Sector Space Full Impulse is "Quantum Slipstream Drive." It's an ability that makes your ship significantly faster for at minimum 30 seconds and then goes on cooldown.

You will have to fly manually to the start point of whatever mission you are on.

I think you're confused, you're probably mistaking sector space for system space. At least control-wise.

Quantum Slipstream Drive is an ability earned when reaching lvl 50 and is to be used in sector space only. It has a limited time of effect followed by a cooldown. Both timers can be influenced by equipment and/or active duty officers.
Full impulse however is used only in system space, usually in orbit or close to a planetoid or within a nebula or anomality. This has no cooldown but can be negatively impacted through combat situations.

When using Quantum Slipstream Drive, you are very limited in stearing, should only use on Long Straight runs to your target location and try to time it so it runs out before you reach the target system. If you have used your Quantum Slipstream Drive, you will have a 2 minute cooldown to wait on. That error you stated is what it would say if the Drive is in cooldown.

If you are stopped automatically at the outer edge of a system that you are wanting to visit then you need to give the throttle a quarter nudge and stear toward the target to manually fly to the actual planet that you are visiting. You need to come within 1 Ly to the target planet, so you can get the activate button.

And the game is a bit buggy, so when using autonavigate or clicking somewhere on the map to go to a certain place, the ship don't neccesarily do that. Other times the ship won't stop when reaching its goal and continues to go all the way to the edge of the map.

Autopilots in the future seems be relying on 1900's AI technology...
