System : Lysoovsky GF-R d4-209
Since I included this type of stars to the route, this is the first time I used 5 consecutive long jumps. Yes, Neutron Stars... And I must say we covered a long way. I am still trying to beat that fear out of me... Everytime I see one of those, I got thrilled.
To the commanders who doesn't know how they work, you need to get to enter to the cone of the star and keep the ship steady for 3-4 seconds inside it. It will try to get rid of you from sides... try to hold on... If successful, you will get your FSD Supercharged. Supercharged means you can jump 4 times the capacity of your maximum range, only for the next single jump. In other hand, if you fail, you will find yourself 5-10 Ls away from the star instantly. So basicly it is trying to push you away.
Why am I afraid? They damage the FSD bit by bit everytime you use it. Thats one reason for especially long journeys. You will need your FSD intact for such trips. But the real thing is I really don't like to loose control of the ship even if it is for 3 seconds. This is space... unexpected consequences are mostly dangerous or deadly to be honest. Also when I fail charging, the time I spend and the distance I cover, just doesn't feel right...
