Last night, my travels hit a snag, sort of. The direct way to my destination was littered with unscoopables to an extend that I was unable to follow that route without the help of the Fuel Rats. After some infused jumps, I was able to plot a route that followed scoopable stars only without constant infusion.
I usually keep the non-scoopable stars in my route as I found some nice stuff orbiting these. But if the route fails to find a gas station every five or six jumps...

set map jumps to economical or filter route for kgbfoam when getting low
i have never needed a rat myself i normally find a suitable route personally
there are fuel voids which you need to go around or bypass via neutron(areas of no scoopables the dead zones)
so periodic view that leg of map for fuel star after 3 consecutive non scoopables junps is what i do
which sets of my internal brain built in vector for texico alarm
also jumponium synth can get u otta trouble providing you have the mats for g3 jumps

When I first set up my carrier some of the additional items that I purchased included a couple of fuel transfer limpet controllers and one of each size spare fuel tanks so that in area's like that I could re-equip for a longer range between fuel stars.

Why IS it called Hawking's Gap? Man talked about a lotta things in cosmology but the shape of galaxies is about the one thing he never covered. We don't even have a sector named after Harlow Shapely and you don't often get better nominative determinism than him!

I had a quick look but didn't find anything. I'm now wondering how many galactic regions are actually just made-up names. @Sapyx would know but I haven't seen that CMDR in a while.

black/red out resistant mini me fighter pilots:ROFLMAO:
you could stick em in rc phantoms
would not like the job of naming 100 billion stars
you have to use a random name algorithm generator based on the fibonacci code methinks

Can I name a star through NASA? - Nonprofit Adopt a Star

You can't name a star through NASA, but you can adopt a star through this nonprofit program started by professional astronomers.

666 are mine all mine niet ha ha:geek:
ist person to colonize every star in the manic monday pic above wins a paint job :ROFLMAO:

I think most of the galactic regions are made up names based on the following...
I asked the AI assistant Grok what the Hawking's Gap was and it gave me an answer as if Elite Dangerous was true life without actually referencing Elite Dangerous.
Then I ask if the info was only relevant to Elite Dangerous:

The information about Hawking's Gap I provided is indeed specific to the fictional universe of the video game Elite Dangerous...
[snip]
In real life, there is no astronomical region in the Milky Way galaxy officially named "Hawking's Gap." The Milky Way, as we understand it through current science, is a barred spiral galaxy with a diameter of about 100,000–200,000 light-years, featuring a central bar, spiral arms (like Perseus, Scutum-Centaurus, and Sagittarius), and various star clusters, nebulae, and voids. While Stephen Hawking's name is honored in science (e.g., Hawking radiation related to black holes), no specific region of our galaxy bears his name as a "gap" or otherwise in official astronomical catalogs. Any "gaps" in the Milky Way, such as areas with lower star density or dust lanes, are not designated as "Hawking's Gap" in real-world astronomy.
So, to clarify: Hawking's Gap is a concept unique to Elite Dangerous and does not correspond to a real-life feature in the Milky Way.

Damn.

There goes my theory of that it was something he didn't know :D
