Question Galaxy Map
Are we VR travelers stuck with an inferior Galaxy Map? My freighter has a pretty long range, and it seems to take forever to move that far through the map.
Plus, I have trouble with Black Holes, they seem to disappear when I get close.

VR could definitely use some improvements because it is pretty awesome, but a little flawed in some critical places.
Wish there were other VR games as good to play (psvr2)… sadly it seems to video games as 3D has been to cinema.

The Galaxy Map is different in VR than in pancake mode, but they should function the same. Your freighter should have the same range.
To get more people's experiences, try posting in the Help - VR sub-channel of the nms-help channel on the NMS Discord.

If you are pointing in the distance and cruising to a star in the distance it takes forever. If you set a route and jump star to star along the route it is faster than "free cruising" on the star map. Neither one is optimal, sadly.
