Max number of jump points

[wedgebert (OP)]

Is there a limit to the number of jump points a system can have? I ask because I just finished surveying a system that ended up with 20 total jps. Needless to say I'm dreading trying to figure out how to arrage the galactic map to deal with that monstrousity of a junction system.

sounds like you found your version of manticore.

I think JPs can be deleted in SM mode on the f9 screen. If you haven't explored them yet they don't even go anywhere so that shouldn't cause issues.

I don't think that there is a hard limit on the number of jump points but as the number is determined by the star (size / mass) their is probably a logical limit

the highest number of JPs I've had is 27-28 i think

Sol has 30 possible jump point spots I believe.   There could be more, but never bothered to check.

Those are just survey points and all systems have them.  I don't recall what Steve has as the upper limit any one system may have for jump points.

There is no upper limit for jump points, although larger numbers get increasingly unlikely. There is a bonus to the number based on star mass but it is only a minor bonus unless you have stars that are significantly more massive than Sol. The maximum distance of the jump points is based on the square root of the star's mass with Sol counting as 1.
