Very slow Internet = very slow progress.

Very slow Internet = very slow progress. Only 560ly north of Great Annihilator tonight. Guess I have some space speeding to do tomorrow morning!

    Last night was my night of long jumps. Nearly every single jump took more than a minute.
    The problem was gone after reconnecting in solo. Not sure if by reconnecting or by going solo.

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...

I didn't make it far today. Only 200 ly.

I didn't make it far today. Only 200 ly. As I had planned I visited all the class O stars in NGC 6357. In the third of these systems I came across the first black hole. I ended up spending most of 2.5h visiting those systems. In total I have found 5 black holes and a neutron star. And an ELW in a system between the ones I targeted. So while I didn't make much progress towards Sagittarius A*, I did make a bit of progress towards Elite Explorer.

The various hints and rumours about the Formadine Rift have been playing on my mind.

The various hints and rumours about the Formadine Rift have been playing on my mind. I'm strongly tempted to take my anaconda out for a research mission. I still have a 2nd account so it would make more sense to take that one instead of my main one but that account has virtually no money so maybe someone could drop me a few creds of cargo. So.. this is me suggesting we run a parallel exploration trip with some lightly armed surface capable ships. Who is in?
