I've just been taking First-class passenger missions from the Sol system.

Mostly because the pay is good (between 500k and 1mil for transport missions, generally between 1mil and 5mil for sightseeing missions...) But also every minor faction is Fed aligned, so while not meaning to I've gotten a rank and a half or so.

Mostly I picked Sol because I'm allied with every faction, so they give me great mission contracts xD

Being able to carry 42 first-class passengers doesn't hurt, though...maybe one day I'll fly a Beluga for a few seconds (and then decide it's expensive and an easy target for pirates...)

Ha, nice. I've been in Arnemil at Buffett Beacon. Skimmer missions there to Brules Prospect and Onnes Landing are easy and I'm making about 80m an hour on top of the fed rankings.

Great, thanks. I went for a look last night and there was nothing doing.

So, I really want to try this, but I can't seem to find a viable route to that Col 285 system. I'm thinking maybe my 6.4 LY jump range is too shallow. Any tips or ideas on how I can make it to that system?

Change ship or upgrade/engineer the FSD.
What ship are you in?

Yup, a better FSD will help increase your jump range a lot. You may need a fuel scoop too, depending on how far you need to travel.

Right now I'm in a Viper Mk III, trying to get a Vulture. I upgraded my FSD to be able to get as far as 9.6 LY, but still get "Route Plotting Failed" when I try to make plans for travel.
