These highways are a means for ships to traverse large distances between two set locations using far fewer jumps than the conventional method.

09/20/2016 - 2.2 "The Guardians" Beta 1 has begun. This new beta brought around a whole host of new changes, the more significant one being the updating of a star type, the "[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/elite-dangerous/images/2/2c/Neutron_star.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180214114321 Neutron Star]". This new star type had giant jet cones spewing out heavy magnetic fields out the cones of the star, and when the ship was inside this cone, the FSD would be "Supercharged".<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/87j62f/a_brief_history_of_the_neutron_highway/ A Brief History of the Neutron Highway]</ref> | 09/20/2016 - 2.2 "The Guardians" Beta 1 has begun.

Well, when the Beta 1 came about, there was a decimal error when calculating the Neutron Boost. Instead of 25% (1/4) as originally planned, the Neutron Star provided a 400% (4/1) boost. This was not intended. | Well, when the Beta 1 came about, there was a decimal error when calculating the Neutron Boost.
