Jesus Christ the amount of back and forth they’ve done with this FM… and each iteration takes YEARS
It all depends what they put in its place.
Did I miss an announcement somewhere? Are they actually getting rid of NAV mode?
Last I heard they were making a few changes to it, but not in the way of removing it.
Yeah, they talked about it a few times. NAV mode travel will be replaced by quantum boost (quantum jump with minimal “gameplay”).
In the future to get to the current NAV speed you’ll have to craft/buy higher tier ship (possibly just engine, I don’t think they clarified 100% if just component will be enough).
Racing without current NAV mode velocities will be fricking boring.
You’ll have to grind those ship tiers, I guess. That and drop as much weight as possible once that becomes a relevant factor.
So they invented supercruise that you have to pay attention to. Amazing.
Pretty much, at least based on what they showed and talked about before. During yesterday’s Q&A they did say this design changed somewhat over the last two years but we don’t know how or if in any significant way.
