The Omega-80 to Lorraine minefield entrance is at least marked with something that I can remember.
The Lorraine to Omega-80 doesn't seem to be.

Now, I realize that many people here are young and have eidetic memories, but some of us are getting on in years and don't have the memory we used to have. Combined with the complete inability of Freelancer to set permanent, personal waypoints in our navigation systems (something even BASIC GPS systems have today), I'm finding it hard to impossible to get back through the Lorrainne to Omega-80 jump hole, even though I've come out of it at least twice now.

SO.... could someone either provide a useful reference point from which to calculate the entrance (something I can write down), or could an admin or something put a useful (meaning targetable) item somewhere at the entrance to that minefield. A minefield of closely spaced, completely indestructible, infinitely repeating mines that are invisible to all scanners.

I suggest you use this map: http://space.discoverygc.com/navmap/#Lorraine

It shows you corridors through all kinds of fields.

most minefield usually have weapon platforms of which you can guide of when you dont have access to an external map,such as the one described above..


People want to believe that God has a plan for them.
They don't wanna believe that anyone else does..

OK, thanks. I was kind of looking for an in-RP means of doing so, but I guess I could always have purchased a very detailed map of Sirius. Is there a Michelin maps base?

Not that I've found at this specific mine field. I could be wrong though.

I hate to be pedantic, but you meant Omicron 80, right?

Well that's obvious what he meant.

The Omicron 80 side is easy, there's that wreck.
The Lorraine side I'm finding extraordinarily difficult without the aide of some obvious landmark and without the ability to put down a permanent waypoint. Or perhaps I've missed something, which is why I was asking.

The remaining half of a wrecked container tank of a station. Where it floats, there is the entrance.
