Better said by others... but I have to complement as well. Very Nice! Any words of wisdom regarding fatigue? I'm close to heading out on a journey not bound by any particular goal or amount of time.

My 14,000 System Journey
- Thread starter Allitnil
- Start date
I disagree. It's the shameful part. If it took the same amount of time to sell commodities as it does to sell exploration data, we'd have a riot on our hands, with traders screaming bloody murder. I am about 30k Ly from Sol right now, only 2000 systems visited, but am not looking forward to returning at all - if here was at least an option to "save data" once you docked, so you could take a break and go do something else for a while...

Welcome home Allitnil
Did you pass through Rendezvous point on the fringe of the Scutum arm on your way back? There's a few of us who have tagged a planet each in that system now. Make sure you get it registered at universal cartographics.
Have you considered retiring the Roncevaux? Its a piece of history now and deserves to be preserved. I did with the DSS Beagle and Shackleton Explorer. Two ships that returned from the depths and that will never be repaired or flown again. One day FD may introduce an orbital ship museum that players can retire ships to. Something worth bearing in mind
Oohh - which system? I am on the far side now, headed further, would be cool to have a system to target...

eactainds gn-w c1-6
Thank you - the Teleki Bengal will be making it's way there... One way or another.
Actually, I just searched for it, I seem to have been heading straight for it. Only 13k Ly away...

Please only tag one or two objects once you're there. Its sort of become a tradition to leave your mark there but leave plenty of stuff unsurveyed for others who pass that way to do likewise
If you're interested in its background this is a brief video of why people visit it..

How do we know what has already been scanned so we do not scan them again? I'm also heading that way no doubt.
That's a good question. I think there needs to be a record kept of who scanned what since its become a popular point of interest for explorers returning from the far side.
I know I scanned the jump star and the first gas giant (the one in the video) and I think I did the two smaller ringed worlds. They should bare the name Kamzel when you get there. CMDR R4nger0 scanned the large purple gas giant but he won't be home to stake his claim for several more months at least. I'm not sure what others have tagged. Hopefully whatever they scanned will have their names on by now so look for something that is still unexplored and tag that.
If I knew then that it would attract so much interest in the future, and with hindsight, I should have picked a really large system with multiple stars and dozens of worlds for the rendezvous

What we need is an Explorer's sub-forum where we can collate and track all these types of events/points of interest.
In the interim why don't you do us a favour and post a screenshot of the system up with the known tagged bodies. Hopefully all others will chip in with their info. If we run out of bodies in that specific system then we can start tagging the adjacent system/s as well
This is how it currently stands based on what I know for sure:
View attachment 30991
nb: Kamzel is Erimus's CMDR name
nb2: the greyed out planet & moon is a bug I get with this system, it was fine when I first visited it
I believe Krunchie scanned some of the moons but I'm not sure which ones. He's not expecting to get home for some time yet.

Ta for that
I would humbly request the privilege of reserving the asteroid belt adjacent to the Jovian. A rough estimate will see me there in a few weeks or so, give or take, if all goes well. Truth be told, this visit holds more meaning than my imminent arrival at Sag-A. Thank you all for bringing it to our attention.

Its been asked for for months now but the mods/FD don't seem keen on the idea. Not sure why.
As for collating points of interest, I started a galactic mapping project a while back that has so far managed to collate a lot of info on the early days of exploration in Elite (early days being November to February 3301
).https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=116450&p=1808217#post1808217
Its on the backburner at the moment mainly because I haven't had time to update it with new info lately but also because its something I'll revive and put in an explorers forum if we ever get one!
(hint hint mods)

Can't rep you anymore... nice one Allitnil. +1
Looks like there could be quite a few moons left if Krunchie only tagged a couple.
I scanned some moons, when I get home I'll post here which ones. I scanned more then just 2-3, because it will be a long time till I can sell the info. Someone will probably scan some of mine and sell it before I can.

Man.. seriously, that got me emotional! Amazing.
Also to the OP, well done. You guys have nerves of steel.
