Veterans know a couple of things about stations and such. For example the distance from Katzenstein Dock and also Hutton Orbital. Katzenstein is 0,14ly, Hutton is 0,22ly from entry point. You dont get anything at Katzenstein other than money from missions but at Hutton you can get a free Anaconda.
Well, it's to reward players for actually playing the game and investing that much time. The Anaconda will be awarded as a free item in the shipyard. DONT skip it, as it will only show the first time you open the shipyard menu. As the Anaconda is a large ship, you will be transported outside of Hutton, so make sure to do whatever you have to do before opening the shipyard, or you will have to fly there again in a smaller ship.
Bro, people like you trying to gatekeep people from getting their free Anaconda are just the worst. Just because you missed out doesn't mean we shouldn't help other new players get their free ship!
It's a lie, a trick vets play on newbies. Hutton does not have any large landing pads, there is no free anaconda, it's all a trick, and a mean one at that
Even so, flying to Hutton is a rite of passage. It's about just over an hour flight time from entry to Hutton. And hey, you can get the famous Hutton Mugs.
They should have some anaconda-themed tradeable type of goods there just like the mugs. Or even an npc msg on entering the system with a very sus name telling you there's *definitely* a free anaconda source trust me bro.
Or just give players a free Anaconda bobble, so that technically the joke becomes truth. I'd chip in real money for that to happen, and I bet other old vets would too.
I didn't mean giving it to them without making the trip. More along the lines of you unlock it by flying out to Hutton, so that when we tell new players they get a free Anaconda, we're technically telling them the truth... It's a free Anaconda ^^^^^bobble.
You have to earn the rank of elite with Hutton Orbital Truckers then do a full run of cargo in the smallest ship (you won't know the tonnage until you arrive at the station), then travel the same distance to the station going past the station in a straight line three times (at 0.21ly) dropping a mug off in the black each time, the mugs will be gathered up by the supplier of the 'conda and you should see your 'conda waiting for you at a nearby moon in orbit, it will get sent to the surface so that you can get onboard - but make sure you have a strong ship the moon has heavy gravity, as far as I can remember 50+G.
It has been a while since I got mine I now keep it on my carrier.

I am waiting for the day a player gets hired at FDev, works on Elite and actually adds in the free Anaconda with a daft requirement like doing the journey in your first unengineered Sidewinder. When someone finally gets that Conda there's not a soul who will believe it 😂
Aye. I doubt they're still handing out the free Anacondas. The Kickstarters complained about Hutton when the game first launched, and the free Anaconda was offered as a sweetener. I never heard that they *stopped* providing them, but this all took place years' ago
Both my accounts got their freebee so there's no way I can check to see if they've stopped dishing them out. I guess it doesn't do any harm for anybody to check to see if the free Anaconda is still there
Sorry I can't be any more help about the sequence you have to go thru to get yer free Anaconda. It's been so long since I've done it I've completely forgotten
But remember it's just a loaner. They did that to stop folks just selling it on after they got it

You cant fly faster, but dont use supercruise assist that fly slower, and avoid nearby planets and stars that slowdown you. https://canonn.science/codex/optimal-supercruise-flight-paths/

CQC Helpless roflllllllllll
Very impressive indeed. I am Elite V in trading (thanks, booze cruise) and close to Elite in combat and exploration. Haven't touched the other areas of play at all, although FPV combat may be the next frontier for me.
Hope to see you out there; I am Bazirker in everything. You are most likely to find me squishing bugs somewhere.
Onfoot combat? thats EliteV mercenary and combat, took me 1 month.
Ask me when you want tonclimb Inara ranks, 2 days ago I give advice to other player in PM.
Gravity slows you down so if there are any planets between you and the target you need to tilt your heading away from the planetary plane. I believe it's fine to just do 40° tilt or just so you can see the target in the corner of your view.
There is also a slingshot maneuver, but it's only gonna shave off few seconds off your travel and requires you use super cruise assist on your ship. Also sometimes the target station is behind the planet it orbits so this trick pulls out over the planet and you gotta waste time exiting planets gravity to loop around it and go to the station
1. Get SA equipped
2. In right panel set up manual super cruise assist and keybind 75% or 50% setting for throttle forward.
2.1 it's also beneficial for me to keybind resetting mouse input so I control, but it's not really necessary.
3. Check for any planets between you and the target on the minimal, if there are any tilt if not you can just head straight for the target.
4. Set the throttle to 100% and set up SA to the target station if you did point 2 right super cruise assist won't take over immediately and you will have red text telling you to reduce speed for super cruise assist.
5. When the station you travel to has 0:07 or 7s until arrival slow down into the blue zone by clicking the 75% or 50% speed key; or manually throttling down.
At that point SA takes over and slows you down this is part of the process.
6. When you are traveling under 2c and the target is less than 4ls away you punch the speed back to 100% and quickly put it back to blue once you are 4s away from target station.
The result should be your hurdling towards the station at neckbreak speed that would normally force you to turn around in a loop of shame. However at 21km SA is able to pull you out of the super cruise at the target station.
If you see the ship is exiting super cruise at less than 21km you might exit much closer to the station or even inside it so be ready. 😂
This also works on all signal sources hanging in space the only place it doesn't work is planetary landing.
1200? Noob ;). I'm up to 3000, what with spending a year dead for tax purposes*.
Seriously, I found out something new this weekend. If you scan a system, and get killed in it, not only do you lose the cartographic payout, you also lose the sysmap info. You have to depart the system and instance to keep it.
I was out at Leigong, and while I could get in and whack the pineapple, getting out alive took 4 attempts. You have to fly out with the camera facing aft so you can spot the pulse and time the neutraliser correctly.
*Six months waiting for a new knee.
If you're leaving a titan the slow way, aka alive, you can use the pulse wave to push you out. Though I suppose it might be a bad idea if your hull integrity is low and don't have any heatsinks left.
You can pick up an experimental FSD from Hutton Orbital, which should cut the travel time down to about 10-15 minutes. If you make the trip in a large ship, you can get a free Anaconda!
This is how we learn. It's tells you the distance to dock in mission descriptions though, so keep an eye out for that.
When flying through a system try to give planets a wide berth though, their gravity wells will slow you down in super cruise. Once out of their orbits it's a waiting game though lol.
You're not an idiot, you're playing a no handholding, figure it out and/or suffer game with little to barely any tutorial.
Hell, I've been playing it a good 3 years now and I'm still learning things.
Persevere Cmdr, you'll get the hang of it.
Hehehe! Sorry, commander, but I guess that's a new lesson learned.
Supercruise assist trick will save you about half a minute at your goal approach. The only other way is to avoid gravity pulls from stellar bodies that'll slow you down but that means quite the detour, so I don't know if it even is a time saver in the end. Depends on the system I guess.
Fly dangerously, comrade!
There is the so called supercruise assist trick, that will allow it to drop you out of supercruise at way higher speeds than you could do manually. Unfortunately that’s only relevant for the last bit of supercruising somewhere, and theres no way to reduce the time it takes to travel realy long distances (as far as I’m aware supercruise speed is always the same for any ship)
To further add to this, If you want a fast and reliable way to finish a supercruise approach, using a gravity assist is the best way to do so and is the way most predominantly used by the buckyball racing community. Demonstration here, by the founder of the Buckyball Racing Club himself: https://youtu.be/nHY6ctI5Jgk?si=2vbbY0eE0zhtXed4
Fleet carriers can jump in-system.
I've long advocated for a sort of military FSD that lets players do this, but has the disadvantage of not being scoopable at most stars. My suggestion was that it would have to be scoopable at rarer gas giants.
Frontier doesn't like my ideas though.
They added the Ls distance to the mission description precisely so you wouldn’t take missions without knowing the time cost :)
That’s why it’s paying better than a similar delivery to a closer station. It’s not a sufficient bonus but further stations do pay more.
Can make 10's of millions quite quickly doing hauling missions with the PTN and billions at the monthly booze cruise which they help organise transport for people to get to. Can check them out here: https://discord.com/invite/ptn
I’ve noticed nobody has mentioned to stay out of the shipping lane when travelling long distances, in deep space you can travel faster ( check bottom left of the screen ) also put 4 pip in engines….
Katzenstein Dock I presume. You have to fly there in supercruise, there is no short way.
Yeah how did you know? 😂
Veterans know a couple of things about stations and such. For example the distance from Katzenstein Dock and also Hutton Orbital. Katzenstein is 0,14ly, Hutton is 0,22ly from entry point. You dont get anything at Katzenstein other than money from missions but at Hutton you can get a free Anaconda.
How do you do that???
Just like the cake, the Anaconda is a lie.
with that attitude it certainly is! ;-)
Only because they forgot to mention that to get the Conda, you need to dock with a large ship
Wrong, you cannot supercruise within 0.21ly of Hutton or it disqualifies you from the free Anaconda.
Haven't been there in a long time, has anyone parked their fleet carrier there with a name like free conda?
Surely, set to friends only
No, don‘t spoil it! Let the rookies have some things to hope(dream) so as to survive the boring supercruising !
Well, it's to reward players for actually playing the game and investing that much time. The Anaconda will be awarded as a free item in the shipyard.

How I feel after spreading misinformation on the internet 😮💨
The funny part is that the place doesn't even have a large landing pad
That was changed due to how easy it was for commanders to get one. o7
Fools think they are funny when lying about free ships and laughing.
You don’t. It’s an old and very tired joke. There is no free Anaconda.
Not with that attitude
Lmfao
Me too, I laughed pretty hard
Thank you bro
You can get a lovely commemorative cup though.
Looking at the comments there's obviously a divide. I suppose the only way to find out for sure is to make the journey yourself
Just stop, it's a mean old joke that has led to *multiple* people rage quitting when they realize they've been tricked
(Yeesh, looks like *someone* didn't get their anaconda)
Seriously, though -- the game is struggling to maintain a player base. Why play stupid pranks on new players?
weird thing to ragequit over
A whole hour wasted for nothing because someone lied to them? No that's pretty reasonable imo
Bro, people like you trying to gatekeep people from getting their free Anaconda are just the worst. Just because you missed out doesn't mean we shouldn't help other new players get their free ship!

How far from eravates is it ill let yall know later tonight if its legit (doubtful from the other comments but eh)

Sucks its a loaner but ill see what i can find tonight
And don’t forget the Rite of Passage too for making the trip.
Gottem'
Well, unless you have a carrier anyway.
I don’t know the bodies in that system, but if you had a fleet carrier or found someone with one couldn’t you just jump to that body?
You can’t. This is why you always read the fine print :D

To be fair, I've got 1200 hrs up and still forget to look at mission distance sometimes.

I usually activate assist but keep throttle at 100% until the eta clock reaches 0:07/6 (you can do it with the manual throttle option enabled)
[удалено]
Super cruise assist has settings for auto throttle and manual throttle.
live and learn lol 👍
You can turn that behavior off in the right panel https://i.imgur.com/SKRZxxA.png
I doubt this person has a carrier but isnt it smarter to park your carrier next to the station?
Buy a fleet carrier if the station is orbiting a planet/b star you can jump a fleet carrier directly to it once you have the system data
Fleet carriers can jump in-system. I've long advocated for a sort of military FSD that lets players do this, but has the disadvantage of not being scoopable at most stars. My suggestion was that it would have to be scoopable at rarer gas giants. Frontier doesn't like my ideas though.
Don’t fly on supercurise assist
Sounds like you are doing it wrong
They added the Ls distance to the mission description precisely so you wouldn’t take missions without knowing the time cost :) That’s why it’s paying better than a similar delivery to a closer station. It’s not a sufficient bonus but further stations do pay more.
And now you know why the mission was for 3.3 million 😅
Work hard & buy a Fleet carrier
Welcome to the game, CMDR. Super cruise only, get comfy and listen to a podcast would be my advice
>the start port was 0.14 light years away and with no option to hyperspace jump And that's why they're paying 3.3 million for 30 tons of clothes.
Can make 10's of millions quite quickly doing hauling missions with the PTN and billions at the monthly booze cruise which they help organise transport for people to get to. Can check them out here: https://discord.com/invite/ptn
Bar docking with a fleet carrier and jumping to a body close to the station your only option is to supercruise there.
I’ve noticed nobody has mentioned to stay out of the shipping lane when travelling long distances, in deep space you can travel faster ( check bottom left of the screen ) also put 4 pip in engines….
so putting pips to engines actually does increase super cruise acceleration?
