Oops, sorry, I c&p'ed which brought over some unwanted formatting. Looked fine on the black themes. Hopefully fixed now.
Did you bother to read? Look 3 posts before yours.
Seems to be a forgotten courtesy these days. I remember back in the day when the Inter-web was still in Black & White, folks actually read the previous posts in a thread. Now it seems nobody has time for such inconveniences in life.:S
Sorry, back OT
Very glad you are still doing well, and actually seem to be enjoying yourself. Good way to go for someone who is one jump into a binary system with the drop point at the wrong spot.
Keep it Frosty Slugsie!

Good Ship 'GetTheHellOuttaMyWay' Hull Status: 5%, not budging at all despite my best efforts.
Sixth day of my emergency trip home. Todays entertainment - I felt the need for some classic films : Return of the Pink Panther, Where Eagles Dare, and The Longest Yard all kept me from going nuts.
A long days flying today, over 200 systems, and roughly 6,000Ly covered over a couple of stints today. Although again I was travelling tangentially to Sol, so I haven't closed the gap much. Managed to fit in visiting the Dryaea Flee AA-A h10 Nebula as well for a change instead of just stars. Talking of which I crossed off the usual fair, mostly scoopables with a smattering of Red and White Dwarves, and Neutrons. Nothing too special. Still scanning the skies for Carbons and other really rare ones, but they are hard to spot. I really wish the Galaxy Map made them stand out a bit better, especially when they're the only ones selected.
I did lose concentration a couple of times and found my dashboard fizzing as ships temperature rose over 100% (105% max). That certainly had me worried, but only seems to have knocked a couple %age points off some modules. Still can't figure out why the ship continues to get hotter even when you're flying away from the star at a fair rate of knots. Doesn't make too much sense to me. Thankfully the Hull didn't seem too bothered. I'm wishing that first 95% had been made of the same stuff the last 5% seems to be made of.
Despite the long run time today I've managed to maintain a reasonable work rate of a little under 2.25 minutes per star which isn't too shabby I think.
I seem to have polished off the last of the dry roasted peanuts. I wonder if I can convince a Fuel Rat to stop off at a 7-11 if I pretend to run out of go-go juice?

You can do it man!! This is quite amazing.
One advice...once I came back from my trip this past summer, at the time I entered in a populated system I got interdicted like 3 or 4 times in a row like crazy. (I had my A Rated ASP fully equipped and armed to the teeth so I could fight them back...AI's not real people by the way)
So be aware that you can have some troubles in your way back so be ready.

Agreed, they need to PM their trusted allies and have them meet out-side the bubble.

Seventh day of my emergency trip home. Todays entertainment - Sci-Fi seemed to fit my mood. Started off with Aliens. Thank god I wasn't landing on any planets answering distress calls. Then I got half way through Species before remembering just how awful a film it really is. Finished off with a couple of episodes of The Expanse - pretty good space opera type stuff.
Another long days flying today, not quite as much as yesterday, but it was almost all in a direct line for Sol, so the distance really tumbled. Quick napkin calculations suggest that my 29,000Ly journey has so far covered roughly 23,000Ly (jumps average approx 30-31Ly), leaving me with only 16,000Ly to go. I've been starting to examine the 'Bubble' trying to decide my best entrance point and landing system. Not easy, but I have a plan forming. I'll go dark when I get less than 4,000Ly out which should keep me pretty safe from any opportunists, assuming I play in Open. :O At the rate of the last two days I could be home in 3 days, however I do have a day job unfortunately so it'll likely be more like Friday. Or maybe that's a bluff too.
The usual round of boring stars scanned today. I seem to have left the interesting stuff long behind me now. Another Nebula on my list though - Bya Ail AA-A h65. Todays workrate was a decent 1.77 minutes per system, with my overall workrate now coming in a little under 2 minutes per system. It's actually kind of sad that you can breeze from star to star at such a phenomenal rate, but anything that forced it slower would make Exploration an actual chore.
The supplies situation is beyond belief now. I'm starting to wonder if I can mix swarfega into my Bacardi just to get a little extra taste. Either that or I start on the wine made from Urine Recyce. Neither option is that appealing.

Unfortunately I am a solo player. Always have been, and always will be. I don't know anyone else who plays ED either. But that's how I like it. It's me against the Universe, and as long as I come out ahead for a short while I'm happy.

That there... is a good run... Don't care who ya are!

Perhaps some of the Bucky Ballers would be interested in the route
We could call it the "Slugsie Run!"

LOL
Well, I have every step of my route recorded in my logging app, so it could certainly be made available *when I'm done*.
Guess I didn't - must try harder for fear of getting bitten.....

Eighth day of my emergency trip home. Todays entertainment - Marvels Jessica Jones.
Well, ED started working again just in time to do a single 1,000Ly stint. Utterly mundane, KGB FOAMs and a couple of Red Dwarfs. I'm now within spitting distance of having covered half of the original 29,000Ly, which should happen tomorrow assuming all goes well. There really isn't much else to say for today. Considering I didn't expect to get any time in, this stint is basically just a bonus.
OK, Vodka and Pork Scratchings before bed.
