Most times, when I attempt to hyperspace to the center of Crimson Bond, my ships will greatly overshoot the targeted exit point. I end up much closer to the enemy on the other side of the map.
I know that plenty have people noticed this weirdness…but I don’t think anybody cared enough to post a topic about it. But a few of us decided that maybe this is some game engine bug that should be looked at…

You don’t say! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed this issue. Good catch there Paradox!
Oh, Hideki already has this ‘bug’ in his chart of bugs/exploits…DAMN YOU HIDEKI!!!

It’s a bug with gravwells. Apparently hyperspacing it moves the ship to the edge of the map and then to where it’s supposed to be. A gravwell stops the ship in its path and thus prevents it from being sent to its intended destination.
This has costed people a few games.
It’s the only ‘critical’ in the tracker with no input from the devs so far.
AOHNH has a likely technical explanation in the comment.
it’s not so much a hyper drive as it is an Infinite Improbability Drive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCf53ses22w
you pass through every point in space before arriving at your destination unless there’s a grav well in which case there is an infinite probability that you’ll hit the grav well.
god and i thought I just sucked at hyperspacing
