RopeLordTrying to earn my keep with my carrier owning squadron leader, anyone know of a good system near Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2 with tritium deposits?
I agree with others that it is faster and more efficient to earn money other ways and purchase the Tritium when near civilization. If the carrier is out in the black, and you are running out of fuel, this website might help. Alternatively, EDDB allows you to search the database for pristine icy ringed bodies nearby you could investigate for Tritium hotspots.

Vindicator846Hey everyone, I just applied to this squadron (my first in elite) but for some reason while im connected to the squadron through inara, my in game settings still dont show that Im in the squadron. Anyone have any idea why?
The in game Squadrons are separate from the Inara ones. Artie can take the credit for Squadrons (nèe Wings), Frontier came up with their ‘idea’ of Squadrons only recently after they had existed on Inara for years
You need to apply in game from the squadrons pages on the right hand UI panel. You’ll need the Squadron Id (four letter code) to search for them, you’ll find that on The Fatherhood’s Inara site, I imagine 07

I did supercharge from a white dwarf once, but the reward isn't worth the risk imho.
Some general advice on route plotting outside the Bubble: Always choose a scoopable star as your route endpoint! And always make sure that the endpoint is reachable without supercharging, even if you intend to use neutron stars!

Just jumped to system that was 259ly from its nearest neighbour and 377 ly from the nearest scoopable. Wonderful place with 2 black holes, a neutron star and a dazzling view of the galactic disk.
Had to log into Horizon to plot the route back tho.

JjamesonCan anyone tell me how to not drop into the Neutron Star tail when Super-Charging? OMW to Colonia soon whilst Braben and Co sort out Thargoids game play in Odyssey!
? Just don't drop out of SC or do anything that would disable your FSD (turn off, damage it too much, etc...). If you've never supercharged using a neutron star before I'll explain:
You drop from hyperspace about .45ls from the star. Fly towards the star until you get about half that. Judge which 'arm' of the neutron star is aiming more away from you and head towards its midway point. Just before you enter the cone pull up more to aim your ship towards the faint end of it, but angled such that you would end up on the opposite face of the cone from where you are now. You want your entry speed to be about 15mM/s.
You cannot decelerate when in the jetstream but I recommend throttling to zero while stuck in it so that if you leave it early (likely to happen when you first start out) you will stay close which makes it easier to reenter to finish the job.
You need a Fuel scoop to do this (duh), but an AFMU is highly recommended for long journeys because your FSD takes damage and will get all wonky below 80% health.

If you are having trouble with this, make sure it is a neutron star and not a white dwarf. They look identical. The difference being that neutron stars are friends. White dwarfs will kill you. Neutron stars have incredibly small exclusion zones so they are usually quite easy to get an FSD super charge off of. White dwarfs have exclusion zones that can extend almost out to the ends of their blue cones. The slight turbulence you experience entering the cone of a white dwarf can sometimes be all that was needed to throw you into it's exclusion zone, forcing you out of super cruise. When that happens, it's all over.
