I've popped out for a jaunt with a nicely equipped Explorer Annie. ( I know I could have eked a few more ly of jump range out of the spec by stripping the ship down a bit more, but I like the idea of being able to go hunting for salvage and be able to defend my ill-gotten gains on the way back into civilisation)

I don't intend to come back until I've made enough money from system scanning to at least make Pioneer (currently 14% Ranger). A round trip to Sag A* is my goal,  but my record thus far isn't great when it comes to making the pilgrimage. I've made it to my first waypoint, 1000ly from Shinrarta Dezshra - with even a handful of first discoveries on the way, and I'll be aiming to do at least 1000ly per day.

    Have fun! Fly safe! Wave as you pass CMDR Senan Torr who is about 2K out heading that way as well.

    I lost most of my hull messing around on surface landings. Used Annie as well. 1000ly per day is a good goal. If you can bank a few days of 1100 or more it'll make up for the odd day you have to skip. Good luck and enjoy flying without a safety net.

    Thanks for the kind words of support - I'll need them over the next few weeks, I'm sure...

    I'm also kind of doing this as a research trip for the new Elite: Dangerous short story I'm writing:

    "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Explorer"

CMDR Senan Torr is still struggling to make it back to Colonia. He is just over 10K from Colonia and 31K from LTT 4961 (his ultimate destination for DW2 prep). Lots to see out there though and I've made some amazing discoveries! Even found a ringed water world and an ringed HMC that fooled me into thinking it might be an ELW. I've tagged lots and lots of WW and a good number of non-ringed ELWs. Everyday holds new discoveries!
