Still 9k left to Colonia. More loading screens, MOAR! I think I'm starting to lose it, haha.
At one point I kinda regretted I didn't join DWII, now I'm SO happy I didn't, would probably self-destruct by now... multiple times in a row.
I mean, why basic ship jump range can't be around ~100 Ly? Why FD thinks that seeing more loading screens would add to feeling of infinite space? To be fair, judging by the map, Colonia is like 2 steps away from the bubble, and Beagle Point is not too far either. With current jump range capability, I don't think there's man alive who can make it to the rear end of the galaxy. While it's realistic, it defeats the purpose of the game, and having SO huge galaxy, where you won't be able to see even 1% of it in your lifetime seems unreasonable. From my journey to Colonia, I've noticed that galaxy is slightly different from one in the bubble, stars are way more dense, different hues and color filters, etc. It would be great to see it all, but considering how things are in this game, ~90% of playerbase won't be able to ever see anything much farther from bubble space.
Edit:
Did some experimentation on the way. Some folks been saying that after 80% FSD damage, it can drop you from supercruise. Currently my FSD is at 17% and it didn't drop me from SC once yet. Only thing it does, is disrupt your FSD charging, and more it damaged, more chance it will fail to charge. I also noticed that if you overheat your ship, it somehow lowers chance of FSD malfunction. So, if your FSD is broke, the best thing you can do is fry your ship, heh.
