I think I am starting to get it...

The whole mentality of enjoying the journey; I never got it. I wanted the next biggest baddest ship to conquer the galaxy. Last night that started to change.
.
I had swapped into an adder to fly over to where my Asp had been stationed (I just picked up a vulture and was going to sell my a-class combat asp for outfitting cash on the vuture). It was about 400 LY away in empire space. I outfitted the adder to near A-class, but kept it lightweight to maximize jump range. You know, you can find a lot of cool things in a 400 LY span. It should have taken me about 15 minutes to get there, but I ended up way out in uncharted space because I saw a cool nebula was not that far away.
.
By the time I finally headed back, I had found one earthlike planet, visited the nebula (which was awesome!) and had about 300k in basic scan data. Instead of selling the asp and gear, I outfitted it for exploration. Sagittarius A*, Here I come!

Since I know this is going to happen to me too, as an Asp owner I have 1 question, why an Adder over the Asp you already own, that could be easily outfitted for exploring instead of battle?

I'm in the asp now. I use the adder as a jump shuttle to get to my different ship locations. It's cheep to outfit and no big deal if it gets popped.

Any ship can be outfitted for exploration, I'm in a Cobra with a 25LY jump range. More than enough for a journey to the core. It's also cheap and rebuy is low.
 
This will happen to me when we are allowed to have a second character. CMDR Jerakeen is having too much fun as a rare trader bounty hunter to go too far out but his brother T'phon is keen to go travelling.

Now, imagine when you will be able to land on the planets you discover...

Here is a gas giant with life I found about 1000 light years from Sol.

Once the expansion is out I'm going back there.
