Multiple systems with the same name?

[Pipcard]

I take a mission to take a guy to another system called *name*, at a certain set of starmap coordinates.I go into the starmap, search for the name of that system, then activate my hyperdrive.However, the system I went to has a different set of coordinates than where the mission told me to go, even though it has the same name.

This happens. There are way more systems than can be generated by our random name generator. This is why the coordinates are always given.

How can I go to the system with the coordinates as described in the mission?Is there a way to search a system with that name in those coordinates?Or do I have to manually find that system in that whole mess of stars?

Use the search box. If you're trying to get to a specific sector coordinate, just enter the three numbers separated by commas:1,3,2Alternatively, just scroll to the sector manually using arrow keys and page up/down.

To find a star system manually (assuming you are not going to use the type coordinates method) is quite simple. Sol is at (0,0,0) if you scroll up one sector you will be at (0,1,0) or (0,-1,0) if you scrolled down. If you scroll to the right from Sol you will be at (1,0,0) or (-1,0,0) if you scrolled down.the lastdigit in the coordinate system relates to wether a system is above or below the plane on which Sol is found. 1 for above, -1 for below.
