You and a lot of others here (including myself).

This is simply not true and the point I am trying to get across. Setting the throttle to 75% while the ETA is greater or equal to 0:06 is the fastest way to glide to the destination. It is proven. All you need is a hotkey to set throttle 75% and you don't waste time and you don't over shoot.

That is on your end though. You have very a coarse throttle for whatever reason and cannot even get 75% (you stated it is in 10% increments, so the best you can do is 70 or 80) . You can't just claim it isn't true because your equipment isn't setup properly.

Thats my bad. I thought you were using a linear throttle, like a keyboard or HOTAS. Makes sense now since you would be at 70% resulting in an extended 0:07 approach. The next notch would be 80% which is indeed too fast.

Indeed we are:
from left to right: Corvette, Asp Explorer, Anaconda, Viper MK III, Imperial Eagle.
Jumped to the nearest system then back. When the throttle drops to 75% it is hands off. I even drifted far beyond the drop zone to show that it doesn't overshoot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKjRfxJjb1AI agree, drop to 70% is a safe way to approach. The thing that irks me is you claiming 75% isn't the magic number, as if me and thousands of other players are liars.
