The stars look very different today

Ziggy Stardust · Feb 12, 2015

than the last time I plotted a route to go exploring.

I was looking to give the routeplanner something to do

And it's not as if I'm on the edge of space

What am I screwing up here?

edit: Furthest star I can find is 250K+ ly away

See! Told you guys I was a plonker.

Move along .... nothing to see here

It was of course the view

Nah his mother has been singing Rule Britannia again.

Jive wasn't cosmic, but lots of Hazy.

Back to exploring from Ibiza to the Norfolk broads.

Sorry to bother you again, but what happens when I fly into this?

Lets say it doesn't look inviting

Tip: the second screenshot was not needed since all the info for determining your location was already on the first one.

Quite right. Efficiency has never been a strong point of mine.

My sentiments exactly. And I'm not going to risk my data jumping into that. My circuits could be going dead, something could go wrong.

There you go, floating in your little tin can again.

I like those stars. Fuel scooping at 200ls+... that's something.

So you can jump into those systems? Wow.

Is it pretty?

Yep. Well... Pretty big. You don't really notice anything different, until you look at how far you are from the star. Then you realize you're sitting next to a giant.
