Sakashiro All I can add is: Get the largest A-rated fuel scoop your ship can fit, downsize your fuel tank for a maximum of two full-range jumps, filter your route for scoopable stars (OBAFGKM), and put your favorite Spotify or whatever playlist into the background while jumping.With jump range of 18ly or about, you might find yourself willing to do the opposite thing, installing more fuel tanks to jump through patches of unscoopable stars.

Anyway, here we go:
Spent few days to unlock some basic engineers and FSD booster before heading out on a 22000 ly trip.
Going to anywhere with sub 35ly jump range is... stupid.

Extra fuel tanks will shorten your jump range though. Downsizing will add a few Ly. And there's no shortage of scoopable stars between the bubble and Colonia.

With Jump range of 18ly you might find yourself willing to saw at your wrists with a butterknife too...

Or even better, with a blunt tablespoon for more fun

I would suggest one thing that would be most helpful in my case, would be the ability to spawn in to a location at the onset of the game and somehow pay for the delivery of a ship at that station, in some cases that would be very expensive the choice remains with the player, but you may also have the ability to purchase a ship if necessary. Whatever the case I do think that in respect to action missions time factors could be shortened so that a player can spend more time actually playing rather than fidgeting around or falling asleep waiting to arrive at the desired location.
The uniqueness of the game keeps me playing so if the DEV's efforts are trying to maintain this status then I guess I will keep on.

Karinkablunt tablespoon for more funTier 2 fuel scoop is like a blunt tablespoon, especially if you travel to Colonia with it and 18ly range.
