Managed a completely pointless death earlier. Full load of rares, two jumps away from my destination system, I arrive next to a white dwarf star. My next target looks a wee bit close to the star, but it's not obscured and I think I have enough clearance, so I fire up the FSD.
Turns out I was wrong. My FSD does an emergency stop and dumps me out into normal space, where my temperature rapidly starts rising to 400%. I can't super cruise away from the star because I'm still locked on to my destination system and it thinks I want to do a hyperspace jump. I don't know how to force it just to go into super cruise (I have a key bound to it now). I do manage to get the temperature to start falling, but I explode before it gets below 300%.
Sigh. I didn't lose a great deal of money, just a shedload of time. The only saving grace was that I restarted at the half way point of the trip where I refuelled.
An orange circle gets drawn around stars you are right next to. Flying into that sphere will dump you out of FSD. |
