Neutron travel can be deadly if you drop out of [[supercruise]] inside the neutron jet. This can occur by accident (pressing the drop out key bind by mistake), or by misjudging your position relative to the neutron star and hitting the automatic drop out zone while supercharging. You can avoid this most of the time if you zero your throttle during the hyperspace sequence toward a NS. You can also avoid being 'sucked into the drop out zone' by immediately turning away from the neutron star upon hyperspace exit, and gliding into the far edge of the NS plume to supercharge where you should have sufficient distance to ride the jet and exit the plume safely. Remember however, that nothing is 100% safe with neutron skimming! | Neutron travel can be deadly if you drop out of [[supercruise]] inside the neutron jet.

Submit a ticket to game support and they will investigate your net log activity; if you genuinely lost connection, they will move you to a safe system (this info is based on forum comments circa October 2015). Alternatively, you can attempt to low-wake out of the jet by selecting a celestial object within the system and initiating supercruise (this avoids the need to align-to-target 'high-wake' method, which is virtually impossible while caught in the turbulence of a neutron jet). | ||
Other things to watch out for are FSD damage. Supercharging can damage your FSD and this damage mounts up. It is recommend to drop out of SC (away from a NS jet), and repair your FSD when it drops below 90% integrity. Don't leave home without an [[Auto Field-Maintenance Unit|AFMU]] if you intend to use the neutron grid. | Other things to watch out for are FSD damage.
