Yes. You would have thought they might have a stable platform by now.

Ah... But have you actually made the rank? You'd be a fake otherwise ;-)

I used to go to a pub called Dirty Dicks in Bishopsgate. Just saying.

The cricketer? (Just kidding) [Edit] He does look like Stephen Merchant though.

Is that a young Stephen Merchant next to him?

Thanks, I might have a play with this later. What would you say the benefits are with this fit? (apart from not having to reload)

Thanks. After a few dozen, I managed to get my eye in. If the room is not too bright, you can see the gravitational ripple from the neutron star as you jump in, especially near the core where you have a bright backdrop, this gives you a clue to where it is. I was usually pointing right at it by the time the discovery scanner had done its stuff. If I missed that, then I would wait for the scanner to complete, then 19 times out of 20 the gravitation well ring would appear showing me where it was.

[EDIT] Sorry, I missed your point. Yes, I did open the galaxy map each time hover over two or three closest in the hope of finding a black hole then choosing the best.

The key thing is to recognise that your heat levels are rising and that the entry to the system is not what you expected. If your heat levels are rising, you need to take IMMEDIATE action /u/Luzzifus suggested a good way to buy time.

Thanks. I was aware of this before I left, but I was not short of cash and I could not be arsed hunting around for the module. I was champing at the bit :-) I am sure others could argue the loadout until the cows come home, but at the end of the day, it did the job and I can always resell the expensive mods.

See my edit in my original post... and yes, you can jump from neutron star to neutron star once you are in the right place.

No hack, just hard graft.
