It looks like your destination is about 200lys away, and your grab drive probably can’t go that far. If you’re still only early game probably about 20lys. Might have to wait till later for that mission.
Thanks for your help. But what I don't understand is why the game would give me a quest that I can't complete yet, especially one with a 4 hour time limit? Talk about developer oversight.
You can chaim grav jumps, only thing is you cant do the entire trip in one jump. Fuel resets each time you jump, so ot's only a minor inconvenience to start with.
I still don't know how to actually do a Grav jump, though, and the game isn't helping me.
Do I have to start the main questline first before I can use this "Grav drive" that everyone is taking about in this thread?
If you have gone to new atlantis, you already grav jumped (so if you have a mission you probably have done it). Grav jumping is just when you go to another system from the map interface (for example, from alfa centauri to sol). If the place you want to go to is too far, you just need to do intermediate jumps (going to systems in betwern)
It should be very early in the game. Like right after you get the ship.
Turns out that I didn't play far enough in the main quest to be able to jump to where I needed to be. Thanks for the help.
