    With our latest update, we’ve introduced a major quality-of-life improvement to interstellar travel:

    Warp Route Planner
    You can now plot multi-jump warp routes directly from the Galaxy Map — up to 500 LY — without manually hopping star-by-star.

    Plan long-distance travel in seconds, follow automatic waypoints, and let your HUD guide you from jump to jump.

    Key Features
    • PLOT ROUTE button on the Galaxy Map
    • Automatic waypoint generation based on your warp range
    • One-click routes for single-jump targets
    • Detailed confirmation for multi-jump routes (distance, waypoints, fuel cost)
    • Waypoints shown as CYAN “Nav 1/N → Nav N/N” bookmarks
    • HUD auto-advances to the next waypoint after each jump
    • Cancel route calculation mid-process if needed
    • CLEAR ROUTE button to remove active routes instantly
    • Smart handling for long routes (auto-clamped at 500 LY)
    ⚠️ Things to Note
    There are a few cases where a full route may not be created:
    • Target is beyond 500 LY (route will be clamped)
    • Target is not reachable with your current warp drive
    • Route calculation exceeds 30 seconds (timeout)
    In all cases, you’ll get a clear message explaining what happened — and often still have the option to use a partial route.

    We Want Your Feedback!
    This is a big step forward, and we want to refine it with your help.

    Please let us know:
    • How intuitive does the system feel?
    • Are the waypoints and HUD guidance clear?
    • Is the fuel estimation helpful and accurate?
    • Have you run into edge cases or confusing behavior?
    • What would you improve or add?
    Drop your thoughts, suggestions, and any issues you encounter below

    Your feedback directly helps us improve the experience — especially for features like this that impact core gameplay.

    See you among the stars ✨
