FAR DISTANCE PLANETS

Post by tassos2 »

:?: Good day
It is my first entry although used to play ELITE since BBC and AMSTRAD period
I cannot find a way to reach some planets been beyond the 7ly , like those two of the Prodigal Suns in Galaxy 3 or the Lost worlds in Galaxy 6 and other
No wormholes in their near by planets
I recently download various OXPs for extra Fuel Tanks but at the moment of Hyperspace jump the gameplay does not allow it
Any suggestions please??

Hi tassos2, and welcome to the board.
There are two ways to do this.
Using extra fuel OXPs you will need to do a misjump to leave yourself in interstellar space within striking distance of your target system, then use the extra fuel to finish the jump. To misjump, angle up or down rapidly just as you are about to jump - if you have a joystick use the arrow keys on the keyboard instead as the joystick will not move the ship enough. You will have to find out which two systems you need to misjump between by trial and error although a look at the charts will give you a clue as to where might be a good location to try.
Alternatively, use GalDrivePods to jump into them from the previous galaxy, again using the charts to identify suitable jumping-off points.

Welcome aboard, tassos2 - ask any questions you like, we love answering them.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

No problem :) We are a friendly community and are always happy to help. Some here have made a life's work of plotting the routes to these systems, so you might even get some more specific advice.
