    I'm working on a scenario with a time critical element and players would be able to choose between teleport directly to the main encounter POI from a station they starter spawned in or commandeering an SV to travel to the POI (or split the party in an MP game) ... the problem I'm having is that past a short distance the game starts reminding you, every 60 seconds, that "You need a warp drive to travel to a location outside your sector" ... whereas you're actually just heading way out there for 15-20 minutes to reach a POI that's located 10K+ away.

    Is there any way to suppress this? I've looked in both sectors.yaml and various playfield yamls and can't see anything where you configure that. Forcing a long real-time delay for choosing to take the SV is a goal- I can imagine a warping/landing scavenger hunt across planets in the sector to find the destination but given the static nature of a playfields can't figure out how to turn that into an obstacle other than the first time you play the scenario. Appreciate any thoughts on a workaround or alternate approach, thanks muchly!

    How far are you from the playfield coordinates 0 0 0 ?
    This message should only trigger when you are past roughly 50km from the center of the playfield coordinates 0 0 0 iirc.

    Thanks for getting back so quick, fixed placement of the BAO POI is at (currently) -12263 -50531 -11862 which is 55704 units distance ... I set course towards the sunflower and went at 120 for 15-20 minutes to pick the spot. So if I head back 7K or so the message goes away?

    Ooops ... lost a digit...
    Pos: [-12263, -50531, -118624] so much further out .. :( 129,085 units from the origin.

    Ah yes that would do it then.
    Try setting it at about 45k away from the center?

    If I cripple the SV down 60% that'll get me there- you can take time scavenging to get to a better max speed but that would be time spent .. I'll throw another pretty please into the feature requests, guessing they're pretty busy right now!! ( thanks again @Pantera )

    Yeah that distance from origin will trigger the message keep it under 50km & it shouldn't appear.
    This distance will remain which is part of the floating origin point calculations & needed to avoid potential issues when distances get really huge (50km from origin is already massive).

    Can't you put the spawn also 45k away, that way they are 90k away from each other?
