(v5.56) I'm trying to find the shortest way back to Earth for a scout in Gliese 563.2 (file attached).
On the Galactic Map, the
Display button +
Show distance from selected system looks fine, thus I select Sol and I check the distance to Gliese 563.2 : 7.8 something.
But there are 2 pathes between the two systems. I guess the shortest is the one with only one intermediate system but experimental confirmation is always satisfactory so I check the distances step by step, selecting one system after the other on the 2 pathes :
- Sol > Giclas 9-38 (5.8 ) + Giclas 9-38 > Gliese 563.2 (4.7) = 10.5
- Sol > WD 1142-645 (6.5) + WD 1142-645 > Gliese 674 (5.1) + Gliese 674 > Gliese 563.2 (5.1) = 16.7
The first path is actually shorter but the numbers do not match. What am I missing ?
