Hey there, I'm new to this game and the forums and I just wanted to ask you about jump distances after a disappointing death a few minutes ago (I had taken a screenshot but didn't work for whatever reason...)
Basically what happened is I was right at the far right edge of the map and the exit was basically in the top right corner. I was coming from underneath, but there was also the option to come from the left (as only 2 beacons were close enough to the exit beacon.
When trying to make my final jump to the exit it became apparent that even though the beacon distances seemed near identical between the one I was at and the one coming from the left, I could not jump to the exit. Forcing me to loop back around directly into the fleet and die after the 4th consecutive fleet battle. Was pretty disappointing, does anyone know any rules of thumb to avoid this from happening again?

Re: Jump distances
Hi there!
In the 1.025 patch I think it was, they added an option in the options menu to "show beacons".
That, when enabled, will show you all future jump distances on the map screen. If this option doesn't exist for you, patch your game and it will appear!

Re: Jump distances
Ah! I incorrectly assumed that option worked differently. Went and tested it and that's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the help and sorry for clogging the boards!
