FSD Charge taking 15 seconds?

[Bipper]

All of the sudden (well as of about 48 hours or so ago) it's taking my FSD about 15 seconds to charge up for a hyperspace jump (intra-system charge time seems to be still down around 5). Is this happening to anyone else? Did I miss a charge time nerf or does this sound like a bug?

15 seconds for a system jump is normal charge time. 4-5 seconds to go to supercruise. A supercruise jump can take a lot longer when mass locked, but the system jump should be constant. If you are seeing less than 15 seconds for a system jump, that would be a bug as far as I know.

The only time it takes longer is when you fail an interdiction, but that is due to a longer cool down before the system can charge again.

I'll have to time mine now. I haven't really noticed a difference between supercruise and frame shift jumps. MLF seems to impact both about the same as well. Both feel like about 8 seconds or so, plus the 6 second count down after it "charges".

Are you sure? I've been playing since beta and I don't ever remember it dragging like this...

First charge is for supercruise.
Second is hyperjump.
Third is to supercruise
Fourth is hyperjump from supercruise.

Now, I would notice it take that long if I was mass-locked by a ship, but as soon as I got out of their influence it would speed up. I have a bug report up on the FD forum as well as a ticket in. So far they don't seem to think it's normal, but that was before I posted the video, so we'll see. I would be shocked if I was told I'd been experiencing a beneficial bug for the past 2 years.


EDIT: Yeah, after watching some YouTube videos... looks like I've been benefitting from some sort of bug because I know it wasn't taking the full 15 seconds to charge for a system jump. Oh well... guess I'll have to get used to it.

Yup, that looked normal to me. I guess some bugs can be classified as good, like a fast FSD charge and never ending multi-cannon ammo.

Now the question becomes, how do I trigger the fast charge bug again?
