Made it to the 18K line! I'm parked in Eos Aowsy WK-F b53-90 for the night. Finally found a terraformable rocky world. It was orbiting a terraformable water world! Nice find for this leg of the trip!
Micheal May thanks! I can't always stay on schedule because of work, family, and unforeseen circumstances but I've tried to consistently move forward and that seems to be the key.
I'm doing about 1-2klys a night... and seem to be getting no were fast. LOL. originally, going from outer rim, to center, sounded like a good idea... - it's not
Micheal May I've been on this trip since the 12th of last month so it's certainly taking awhile to get there. It will just make it that much more satisfying when I finally make it. Then I have to make it back home with no mishaps!
Micheal May amazingly they are all 100%! I took a fair amount of damage to my modules early on but had 2 AFMUs and was able to get them back to 100%. AFMUs are literally life savers!
Good to hear... Im 98% on everything, and still haven't used my afmu, so i consider my self in good shape.
Safety tip, if you don't already know. before entering F.S.D or supercruise. Turn OFF flight assist. After coming out of F.S.D you will always come to a complete stop and won't crash in to any stars.
But yes, you then have to power up, to maneuver but, it a life saver when you jump to close to a neutron star with a really big gravity well
Fun Fact: I too parked at the 18 kly line last night. :-) As it's Thursday again I won't be having time to fly tonight, but really hope that I'll be able to get to the Great Annihilator over the weekend.
If I average 30 jumps an hour for the rest of the way back to the Bubble, I reckon it's going to take me another 15 hours of flight time to make it back to cash in my explorer data. Oh my... Originally shared by Iain McC Today's exploration statistics (to accompany the pretty pictures): Hours flown: 12 Nebulae visited: 2 (IOWHAIL & FROARKS) Systems surveyed: 200-ish? Distance from Great Annihilator: 8.4kly Distance from Sag A*: 11.2kly Distance from Colonia: 10.6kly Distance from Shinrarta Dezhra: 14.7kly Minimum number of jumps back to the Bubble: 455 Heat sinks deployed: 1 (after being dumped out of hyperspace into the canyon between an A-type and an F-type binary pair) Notable bodies surveyed: 25 Neutron stars (15 first discoveries) 18 Costners (17 first discoveries) 7 Black holes (1 first discovery) 6 O-type supergiants (2 first discoveries) 6 Gas Giants with Water-Based Life (6 first discoveries) 1 Earth-Like World (1 first discovery) 1 MS-type star (1 first discovery)...
Just spent 90 minutes in Robigo doing Tourism Passenger Missions. About 100mil. earned. Went from 41% Pioneer to 62%. Didn't want to post on a more public forum. In case any of you want to up one of your commanders exploration rank. Of course, the good payouts come from being allied. There are 3 factions giving upwards of 25 missions each, so lots to chose from! I'm using an Anaconda with only First Class Cabins. 9 missions at a time.
Keep going !! Very impressive

ReplyDeleteI WILL meet up on your way back... we can share some Lavern Brandy..
ReplyDeleteMicheal May Excellent! Sounds like a plan!
ReplyDeletebtw- hows your ship. module percentages, and hull?
