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)...
It wasn't, predictably. Odd that someone would go 24,000ly out of the Bubble to tag a black hole but not be bothered to tag a neutron star less than 300ly away, though. Not that I'm complaining!
ReplyDeleteIain McC I've noticed this too. I think some people are in a great hurry when they pass through and only tag whats right in front of them and then jump out. I stop and take the time to tag anything that is rare like that even if I am in a great hurry. Nice find!
ReplyDeleteAround that distance you'll find several carbon stars and black holes tagged by me in a sea of untagged neutron stars. Sometimes you have to go for the real gems and leave the neutrons for someone else. :-)
