getting a bit fed up of having to fly right around stars for the next jump now. though the new jump graphics are sparkly
I agree, I particularly like how you can see the star you're jumping to approaching while you're in hyperspace.

FYI vive owners with nvidia cards. New steamvr beta now supports asynchronous reprojection and my word it certainly improves performance, enables you to bump up the graphics and completely removes all episodes of stuttering with my set-up. Very impressed!

It would seem that it's still a bit sensitive. The fact the a tiny bounty of 300cr or so results in every cop in the system ganking you is mad.
For a start if you are locked on another target and do damage to a second ship there should be (and maybe there is) a far greater margin before you get the bounty.
Secondly the security forces should attack people in order of bounty. I.e. they go after the pirate with 30,000cr before you with 300cr.
Lastly this is one reason I love my FDL. It can outrun them. 4 pips to engine, stow weapons, boost, boost, boost and jump to another system to wait out the 5 minutes.

You can
I helped the early colonia settlers a couple of months ago begin plotting the neutron highway from the bubble to colonia (jaques). The first route has now been published and is just 44 x jumps https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/281825-2-2-Building-the-Neutron-Highway-Grid
Sweet - will try that later, had it turned on for the Rift.
Look what people have found!!!!(not my pictures)
Me thinks ED is getting very interesting.
How do people find this stuff so quickly??? that is what I would like to know... with the millions of planets out there and the fact you have to either fly to each one and orbit it or check it out in the system map the chances of finding something must be very low.
Second post from the top.....

CMDR xdeath found it, frontiers teaser video showed the alien installation with stars and a nebular in the background.
He some how triangulated them to find the alien ruins.

There are some hard core nerds in this game. 
No idea how he could've found this place. Though it was a lot closer to the bubble than I would've expected anything like this to be.
Anyway I dashed out there and did what any good Imperial should do. Drive over everything in my SRV, scan things without any consideration that this might do something bad, then steal stuff with impunity.
I did briefly pop in to open to see how many ships were about. Though immediately upon loading some 'tard started taking pot shots at merolleyes and chat was a bit salty.

Since the missions now seem to be worth sod all, I though I would go and investigate the alien site. It was something like 375ly from where I was.
I'm a still a bit of a noob so once I was out of my normal bubble there seemed to be no ports or stations even after scanning, am I missing something? Anyway I fuel scooped my way over, spent an hour or so orbiting the planet before I found the site along with loads of other commanders many who gave up.
I landed, scanned as much as I could and picked up about 6 relics then headed for civilization. Ballsed up on a fuel scoop and burnt the cargo I had spent the last 3 hrs getting and made it back to a station.
I managed to scan some data for engineers but not got a clue if it's of any value. Bit peed off about the relics but hey ho...

I doubt it. Here are the two scenes from the video.
Except he managed somehow to find the purple star easily, there are no clues as to where the location is.
Imho, he hacked around the game files.
