Is there a method to perform a hyperspace jump in "supercruise" to perhaps get the... yes now just 15 minutes long flight time to shorten? xD

Unfortunately you can shorten only the approach phase, between 0:06 and arrival. But these time savings add up quickly.

Just a heads up there's a small chance you'll end up in the middle of the hangar area without docking permission. Just keep calm and exit the trespassing zone. I've been doing it for years and it's only happened to me once though I've flown through the station to the other side countless times.

SakashiroSupercruise assist speeding is great for harvesting signal sources. I regret not trying this earlier.


Never heard of supercruise assist speeding when it comes to signal sources. How is this accomplished?

Hiiii.... was wondering if anyone can help me ? I'm trying to figure out how to get the best graphics from Elite Horizons.
I own a Asus Strix GL740, Nvidia GTX 1060, I7, 144 hz....

I been playing around with the settings, Youtube and google, but still i haven't been able to optimize or get the better performance from the game.
If anyone is good at this kind of stuff, any little bit of info would help..

Thank You

Note to self: Don't ever walk away while trying to use the least amount of fuel in your tank to get better distance. lol. It gets you a friendly visit from the Fuel Rats.

i dont seem to have any issues in my type 9.
But it is a horrible slow boat of a thing, still its ok for when i decide im just gonna do a trade route for an hour or 2.

mostly im just farming missions that seem to have the materials and stuff i need for the engineers, its annoying but at least its game play. not a fan of these "do this 1 thing over and over and log out and back in for 3 hours techniques"

I also hate mining but im at that point where i have to mine like 500t of junk to unlock the engineer i want. "i really shouldn't have stopped playing when i did" Decided to come back because i have vr now, and i landed right in the middle of a grind.

Last time i played all i did was smuggle slaves 1/2 way across the galaxy trying not to get scanned lol. seems that is not a thing any more. Starting to think my python is not much use these days.

Python is a great, multirole ship. You can use it for a lot of stuff. From taxi and mining to combat.

Don't forget to check Inara market if you need some shit for engineers. A lot of dudes selling things on their fleet carriers (like modular terminals and etc).
