Nicely done! Why hide your credits? We promise not to get jealous.
No way! Damn, that's terrible. I must admit I get freezing coming out of witchspace quite a lot on my work laptop and habitually sit there mashing the X key (throttle to zero) whenever it happens.
It hurt my soul a little, but this run has been nothing but smooth sailing, halfway there
By smooth sailing, I mean my canopy is cracked, and my modules are all 40-70%, but at least I havent exploded, right?

I second that ... twaddle of the highest order.
Typical, hoping for a quiet Sunday of "jump, jump, jump, jump, scoop" and so on when the missus says we have to go shopping, this'll put me back a bit.
P.S. I hope we don't pass a shoe shop, she'll be there for hours

Actually one of my biggest problems (which I did many times) was to sit there happily scooping away on an unscoopable star.

Shop fast, shop safe CMDR
Oh man, I've caught myself doing that a couple times. It just gets automatic, especially on the stars that look like scoopables but aren't. Not sure what the names of all the stars are.

My biggest problem was a couple of times I went trhough the motions of scooping and only when I started my next jump did I realize, "Oh, crap, I didn't get any fuel!" and had to cancel jump and verify that my next one was scoopable!
You can get a bit robotic with the routine, and that can be very dangerous!

There's one more to come I'm afraid. Once you've found a "magic" distance that seems to route plot OK in the core, that'll get you within a few hundred ly of Sadge but then, really frustratingly, you'll hit another problem plotting those last few jumps. So near but so far! Plough on commander
I had thought that passing CMDR Mangel at around 400 light years was a close miss. Then this happens:
Yes, that is CMDR Alot's Frame Shift Wake. We missed each other by seconds.
The Galaxy's Fastest Orca passes the baton to the hopefully soon-to-be Fastest Ship in the Galaxy. Best of luck out there!

Yes, I've had exactly this especially during the final stretch through the core. You get into a nice routine and sometimes don't notice that that orange star was a T-Tauri.
