Neutron trouble
27 Jan 2021Aeonimus
While getting drunk on Beta Site station I met local guy called Jayson. He mentioned the Neutron Highway. At first I thought it was just alcohol talking but he convinced me to check it out. Flying my DBX directly into the waves of a neutron star... crazy and really gets your blood flowing the first time you try it. FSD was boosted to approximately 4 times normal jump range. I started plotting my way home trying to get close to neutron stars as much as possible. The first 2200 ly was gone in 1 hour. All I could think of was why the hell I didn’t do this before! Jumping 200+ ly in a single jump could have saved me a lot better of jumps on previous expeditions.
Reaching the COL sectors problems with plotting a route started to occur. Suddenly route could not be computed and I still haven’t found out exactly what happened. Maybe systems with permit requirements... I had to backtrack for a while to get a plot that would take me the rest of the way home. I lost almost all the time I had gained from the Neutron Highway.
