How not to get trapped?

Post by cephalo »

One of my biggest problems remaining even when I'm doing well otherwise, is when I wrongly estimate whether two systems are jumpable. Sometimes the only way out of a sector is by three jumps that connect to nothing else! Is there a way to know for sure whether you can connect from one system to another?

Go to the Options menu and turn on "Show beacon paths on hover." That way, when you mouse over a beacon, it'll show you all of its jump paths.
