G Spawn It has nothing to do with the instructional video and everything to do with how stupid one has to be to not figure out you need to collect the energy from the neutron star to get a boost. How the hell do you get energy to boost without the means to get the energy?

You should note that the mass of your ship is going to change how much you get jostled around. You get tossed much more in an ASP or DBX than you do in a conda.

[@MrMyu]

I was totally unaware of that. D'oh >_< Pinning this to the top for that information.

[@phuturephunk]

Yeah, it can be a real surprise how quickly the smaller class ships can get turned around and flung right into the exclusion zone in a blink. I do a lot of deep space exploration and with the smaller ships it helps to aim further out towards the end of the jet just in case. Optimally you want to get good enough where you enter at just the right distance that the momentum carries you out the end of the jet just as the overcharge hits.

[@januaryaustin5816]

How in the hell do you do this. I have been trying for an hour, doing exactly what you do and i dont get supercharged

January Austin I tried today for the first time and the first time I came in a little too fast for my liking and I got supercharged. Then it wouldn’t let me jump because of fuel usage. So I tried again. And again. And again. About five times and never could get supercharged.

I wish the light-speed animation was different where you can actually tell you're travelling beyond the normal warp speeds. Perhaps a little bit of sparks from the ship to show it's supercharged or perhaps stars moving passed you at way faster speeds. Little things to make it visually stunning.

Neutron stars take more time than ordinary jumps, plus the time to repair with the afmu. I have about 50Ly jump range. I only consider Neutron stars when there aren't enough scoopable stars or my jumponium isn't enough to maks the distance. HEN 2-23 is one of those destinations that needs jumponium and Neutron stars.

You also can engineer your FSD to get even more jump capabilities by tweaking your FSD module via Engineers (Hint: Felicity Farseer). You can also get more of a boost by installing a Guardian FSD Booster, When you have unlocked them.

[@xcaliber5592]

Good Info for us Rookies.

[@MrMyu]

Mostly correct. (You want to be doing this travelling away from the star) Gently nose down into the cone. You don't want to hit it at a right angle, or it'll just kick you out again. Think of it like using an on-ramp to merge instead of a left or right turn at an intersection. The cone will kick you loose. It throws you around like you're being interdicted, and you don't really have control of when you get kicked out. Just make sure you drop in while flying away from the star so you don't get caught in its gravity while in the cone.

This is just what I needed to find!! I had heard you could super boost from a neutron star but wasn't sure how. I flew through the cone a couple times and it just spit me out at the "Operating at dangerous levels" and I never got the message of super charged. Now with this know how I can get back to the bubble from Colonia a LOT faster!!!!

[@milospavlovic5339]

When I flew near one of those my ship temp went over 100 degrees, about 134C and in Sidewinder I believe or Cobra. Fortunately made out alive.Oh and it pulled me out of cruise...

[@MrMyu]

Was it a neutron star, or a white dwarf? WDs are a lot hotter, and it's a lot harder to get lined up with the jet cones. The gravity step is almost as big as the cone. Oh, and they only give a 50% jump boost instead of 400%! I avoid white dwarf stars like the plague.

[@milospavlovic5339]

It's my first week in the game, so I didn't have idea of neutron stars and white dwarfs. It was white dwarf, had to google one because from my memory it looked similar to neutron star and I thought white dwarfs are something else. :P Thanks for the video btw!

[@milospavlovic5339]

Just to add, I approached like far edge of it and I was getting insane temperatures, possibly because I was out of cruise.

[@MrMyu]

Well, welcome to the game, and enjoy your stay! The nearest Neutron Star to the bubble of human-inhabited space is a system called Jackson's Lighthouse, around 175 ly from the Sol system. The biggest difference is that Neutron Stars look tiny. They look like a little dot firing those same beams out, where a White Dwarf still looks like a star. A small one, but an absolute pain in the butt of a star -_-;

[@milospavlovic5339]

Thanks, hopefully will! Well this one was around beginner area with horizon start, somewhere around Styx system. Will have to go back there and check out what the hell it is, it's quite confusing from memory, as this one wasn't big as star.. dunno. Thanks for taking time to reply. Have a good one.

[@lexrax_tbd]

Theirs a easy way to do that.. When you enter the system after coming out of Hyperspace, set throttle to 0 INSTANTLY. Manouver your ship using the Docking thrusters and point the front of your ship towards the end of the corona/Tail of the Neutron star cone (Head away from Neutron Star). Gently head towards the tail at a slow speed and enter it. As soon as you enter it , KILL YOUR THROTTLE and wait for it to say " Frame Shift Drive , Supercharged " and then POWER out of it and head away from the Neutron star as quick as possible. BEWARE though sometimes the Neutron star will put you towards it from within the Tail when supercharging your FSD.

[@jeremyedombingo]

Synystr7 I'm not sure but I think its emitting super energized matter, b/c of the super dense af gravity of the neutron star.

[@IamBHM]

Matter compressed thirteen orders of magnitude more densely than ordinary solids + conservation of angular momentum + magnetic fields generated by charged particles packed absurdly close together and rotating insanely fast = pulsar beams are scary. As if the gravitational field around a neutron star wasn't powerful enough for you, they also get to shoot electromagnetic death-rays out both ends of their axis of rotation. And as if THAT wasn't bad enough, throw in the tendency of rotating objects to undergo precession and the death-rays turn into spiral death-cones spewing out both ends.

[@kevinhammond2361]

Since a Neutron Star is just *barely* smaller than the mass that would result in a black hole, they distort light to a noticeable level. The distortion is such that we can see *far side* of the neutron star (the part that for a lower gravity star would be obscured by it's physical horizon), from the observers point of view. It's like a much milder version of that crazy visual of the black hole in the movie Interstellar.

[@MrMyu]

That's not the fault of the route, that's the fault of me: I had gone off the path a few hundred light years to check out an unexplored system that looked interesting on the map. The router only takes systems where the arrival star is a neutron star, so at most you're flying 10 LS. I saw this system, explored, realized I was in a good position to make a tutorial, and made a spur-of-the-moment decision to use the B star to get back on track.

He was flying a viper III, and he wanted to keep up with iCurrior's jump range, so of course he tries using a pulsar. He makes it into the system I was heading, and basically he gets stuck there. He had to buy an adder to get enough jump range to escape.

[@MsRmaclaren]

Late to the party here. You need to carry an AFMU or two for repairing your jump engine, which will decrease your jump range. It gets damaged every jump and eventually it will be beyond repair. I took the neutron highway to Jaques Station first time years ago. By the time I found a fuel scoopable star and repaired using the AFMU I could have jumped 2 times and faster than the neutron highway. I never use that mode of transport at all more trouble that it is worth and I have jumped thousands of times without incident all the way to the rim and back. It is a good skill to know if you find yourself in trouble. I will reiterate AFMU AFMU.

How did you get a alternate AI voice in your ship?

[@MrMyu]

First you need VoiceAttack. You can get that from Steam for around $11-12 USD, or you can get it from www.voiceattack.com for around $10 USD. After that, you need a voicepack from www.hcsvoicepacks.com. They're a company that makes custom ship AI voices recorded by William Shatner, Tom Baker, BRIAN BLESSED, etc. (I went with the ALIX interface) If HCS packs are a little more pricey than you'd like, you can find a few free packs here and there with some searching. Reddit, frontier's forums, etc. If you have a decent recording setup, or access to a sound library, you can make your own ship voice pack. I did a quick tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3jCnoaho8-docU One of these days I'm going to get around to making a Mister Torgue pack from the Borderlands 2 library they made available...

Instead of just making bookmarks, I would like to see something where you could create and save predetermined routes, or flying sorties. What you called the 'neutron highway' could be a saved route for your own personal navigation. Maybe one day in the future we could share navigational routes with friendly commanders.

[@MrMyu]

We... kind of can right now. The neutron route planner here www.spansh.co.uk/ lets you link up specific route configurations. The problem with sharing routes with commanders is that no two ships are alike in mass, drive specs, etc. If you have a drive that's even half a light year off, some of these routes won't work. The best you can usually do is sharing point A to B and then letting individual ship navicomps handle the fine details.

If you don't use 3rd party tools such as the route planner, it takes more time to charge and plan the route than it would take to make the extra jumps. This therefore would be used for longer distances where fuel is the issue. Too bad you cannot save the charge for a later jump, one where you actually need it.

Pros: You become fast boi Cons: You get over thousand strands of Cancer.

[@stormblade2510]

Capt Grovesy Not only that but realistically your ship would be pulled apart with such force only molecules would stay connected at least we’re able to use them 😅

[@MrRadialdrift]

In reality, the neutron highway is not worth the effort. It actually takes longer than jumping normally, and i have spent over 1000hr's in the game. If you have a well spec'd engineered FSD, mine jumps around 60ly. The time it takes to travel to each neutron star doesn't make up for the distance gained, as the neutron stars are not always lined up like this, in fact most of the time you have to deviated 3-6 jumps to get to the next star and seeing that I can jump up to 60ly, it can work out to be well over 250ly just to get to the next point in the neutron highway, which usually takes you way of your plotted course and you end up going backwards in some cases just to get to the next sequence.

[@MrMyu]

My recent trip to Beagle Point, some numbers: Sol to Beagle: 65,275.39 light years. 520 jumps. Average 125.39 light years/jump. 10 hours. Beagle to Narvert: 82,850.59 light years. 568 jumps. Average 145.86 light years/jump. 18 hours including planetary surveys, exploration, landing, stupid spaceship tricks on the other side of the galaxy, and answering questions about the neutron highway.

[@02091992able]

I take it this is back when you had to equip exploration equipment to your ships if you wanted to scan star systems? Before they combined that kit with the DSS.

[@AlphaCompRepair]

I also noticed the smaller your ship is the bigger the exclusion zone i.e you can get kicked out of supercruise much easier.

[@BNBsBrainCancerJourney]

I had no idea this was possible

[@ChessArmyCommander]

That last one was 211 lys! Wow.

[@dennisrichards2540]

I didn't know about this but its pretty cool. I would say from a game-play mechanic perspective, it would make more sense to have to press the hyperspace while caught up in the jet to get the benefit. Seems a but weird to be able to make the jump after you leave the jet.

[@bigoljoe1829]

Don't think of it as the jet actually propelling you (because its not). Think of it as being bathed in vast amounts of energy and a large amount of power being forced to your FSD and overcharging it, enabling a longer jump. Your FSD is still doing the propulsion. The jets are "merely" a source of extra power, rather than propulsion. Hence the reason the starting jump range of your FSD being a determining factor in how far this will actually get you.MrMyu's ship has a starting range of over 60ly. You're not getting a 250ly jump out of a 20ly capable FSD.

[@maliwan516]

Note that your ship must also have an operable Gellar Field generator, lest you wish to see some awful things.

[@kenzo680yt]

10:17 Me : shit on my pant My ship : oh shut up and listen look he do it perfectly so there is no reason you can't do it?

[@benpearse7565]

having no idea what you were doing, I was scared that it'd vaporise your ship

[@locuus7]

Very helpful. Much appreciated

[@NoNameLeft1500]

I tried it ones... and got caught in the turbulences... :D no chance to get out again.. massive system failure.. tried couple of restarts of the ship without success... and then just could sit there.. and wait till it explode :D but it was a pretty immersive and interesting experience... that are the things that I like so much about elite...

[@MrMyu]

Ouch. Was it a neutron star or a white dwarf? WDs have a lot less room to maneuver around the gravity step, and the jets just barely extend out of the drop sphere. It's strange, given that WDs give /less/ benefit for more risk.

[@SmokyPizza6853]

Make sure you have a fuel scoop and the module is turned on... Ask me how I know this.

[@an_ordinary_goose]

Coming back to these now and I'm still quite green. So what exactly does a supercharged jump change from a regular jump? Do they allow you to make jumps to far more distant points, or just use up far less fuel to get to the same point?

[@MrMyu]

Both. It makes your drive super-efficient for one jump, so you can jump 4x normal range, or make a normal jump and it just sips from the fuel tank instead of a big gulp. I have an explorer with a 70 light year jump, and one super-jump can get me up to 280 LY in one go.

[@an_ordinary_goose]

@@MrMyu I'm keeping my travels pretty close by - I had a bad run some years back which saw me almost dead in the water with no fuel or ammo. I'll probably attempt this at some point if I really want to get around, but how do you know exactly how far you can actually jump to with a boosted FSD? I imagine it's not as simple as the push of a button and takes some number crunching.

[@youarenotspecial]

@@an_ordinary_goose if you go to the right panel in your ship and go to the ship one, goto the statistics tab and it will show your current boosted range. also be very careful with some as the zone is very close and sometimes can kill you.

[@planexshifter]

Yes! I wanted to see this!

[@SV_Try_Magic]

had no idea they added that to neutron stars when they changed the way they look.

[@RGS1970]

Thank you, great tutorial

[@kkaj9419]

What numbers did you use to get those HUD colors?
