15 mins later and I'm my asp and buzzing around 4 black holes!

    Good find. Visible on the galaxy map as distortion?

    No just a fuzzy star. HIP 63835

    I've got two of my three commanders out in the black at the moment. #1 is doing a quick nebula tour to the Heart & Soul and back as a shakedown cruise for my newly engineered Exploriconda, while #2 is 27kly out on their Pioneer to Elite grand tour to Beagle Point (coming back via Colonia). Still got 55kly to Beagle... gonna take a while!

    Iain McC Good luck on your journey! I finally arrived in Colonia a couple of months ago in one account but one other is still 500 jumps out from Colonia (opposite direction from the bubble). o7!

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)...

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.
