I got a passenger mission, where the destination is more than 5,000 light-years away. I'm trying to plot a course to the destination, in the Galaxy Map, but I'm getting an error saying "maximum distance exceeded." How do I get to my destination?

    ...which a basic google search would have told you. A lot of your recent questions are showing a lack of any research effort whatsoever...

    Another thing to mention is that we expect a certain level of effort here at Arqade. While we allow self-answered questions, they're generally held up a higher level of scrutiny, as they may not actually be problems users will actually face.

    It's also worth noting that retaliatory downvoting is frowned upon. You should be voting on things based on the content of the question or answer not who posted it. Note that the things I've downvoted of yours were specifically because they lack research effort, not because I have something against you personally.

    I've actually found the answers to these questions, as I've learned how to play the game, so I'm documenting them for other people's benefit. I'm still learning new things on a regular basis, so I'll continue to document them to help other people learn from. stackoverflow.blog/2011/07/…

    We never said you couldn't answer your own questions. We said they'd be subject to a bit more scrutiny. Not everything you encounter is going to be worthy of a new question.

Hyperspace jumps can only be plotted out to 1,000 light-years, so you'll need to find a star that's just under 1,000 light years away from your current location. Once you reach that destination, or a bit before then, plot your next 1,000 light-year segment, until you get there.

As of v2.4, Galaxy Map route plotting can now plot routes up to 20,000 lightyears.

v2.4 was released on September 26, 2017 for all platforms.
