Jump Drive is Evil

Post by Nathikal »

Just bought the game (fighting to make the infernal thing accept the codes) and while playing the trial, I came across a great amount of irritation in the jump drive.

I'll have my jump drive set to, I dunno, 77k in one direction. Have the nav point there. Point my nose to the nav point, hit jump, and wind up going 150k past my destination. Naturally, this makes questing more than a little annoying.

Tried several things: right clicking, left clicking, not clicking, just following the nav point given by the quest...and I keep over-jumping things. It is really aggravating, so any help would be appreciated.

"Welcome Aboard Nathikal".....When getting ready to Jump set your pitch to Zero and your compass heading to Zero then jump and you will come out in front of your destination....if you want to come in from behind your designated nav point set compass to 180.....you can even come in at different angles depending on what your compass reading is and pitch.....experiment's can be fun ;)
