It won't work. :-(
It is exiting SC that puts you in the instance. A couple of times I 
missed the exit point and once was only a00 km from the station. When I 
went the slow way. The marker was there but not the station. I had to go 
into SC then straight back out. Before it appeared.

No, you can't travel between systems in SuperCruise; so if you want to 
see Earth in all its glory, you'll have to do plenty of missions for 
Federation factions.

Oh hay, looks like there's a 6-flavour Cobra paint pack available for 
free until Monday in the Frontier web store.

Not /too/ keen on them, but...free.

I have cleared the saved game, a couple of times. When you sell your 
Eagle. Strip it down by selling all the internals that you can, before 
selling the ship. You make a little. ;-)
