Howdy,
I seem to have a recent problem with maximum range jumps (default combo alt+F2).
Having a Class 5 Fulcrum Drive, my maximum jump distance is 5 quadrants, yet using the combo, the nav computer sends me 2 or 3 quadrants ahead. This never happened before, is it something with the latest update, or am I doing something wrong?
BTW, setting the jump manually to 5 quadrants ahead works fine, it's just the combo that's messed up.
EDIT: Restarting the game didn't help. The first couple jumps are fine (5 quadrants), then it shortens the distance to 4, 3 or even 2 quadrants, no matter which direction I go. I'm kinda buffed here, this never happened before.

Are you jumping on the same Y-Plane?
If you go up or down on the Y-Axis the Z and X axis will not be 5 sectors. (Phytagoras)

*Slaps forehead with cat, multiple times*
Duh, I keep forgetting to take the Y-axis in account. Need to think in three dimensions.
Thanks for pointing that out...

My cats are being abused by my forehead quite often, so they don't even care anymore. All thanks to EM. 
BTW, found a new planet, which makes up for being a mathematical idiot.
Anyway, still having problems grasping the whole idea of navigating in three dimensions. I guess this game isn't really for people who were never good at maths.

I guess it's back to navigation 101 for me. Thanks, Marvin!

Supposedly Vice has made a couple changes in the latest release to make it easier to navigate. But I'm so used to the original that I never noticed.
