To the far rim in a Sidey

Probably won't make it to 200MCr. Remember I lost the first 29 days of my adventure...due to, um, misadventure.

I will be lucky if I make elite but will get very close. However, will definitely make elite going to Jaques...

Will be selling the last of my data at Farseer tonight.

200MCr? Interesting. I will be curious to see what my main account - Felix Macedonica - makes when he eventually arrives back from Beagle Point 2 in the Lakon Type 6E. He is only 200 lys from BP2 at the moment and inching closer to the galactic core one jump at a time - gathering jump mats slowly and carefully!

I put up the recording of our rendezvous with you and the 1000 ly journey back but never had time to edit it, alas. It's a couple of hours of us attempting to stay with you and little else. I crashed out to the main menu on a number of occasions which was frustrating. Also, at the end, you can see me being interdicted after following you insystem. It was easily shrugged off but if I had been in a sidewinder with no shields, I would have been space-dust in moments. Your caution was wise, Frawd!

I made 130MCr from my first trip to BP, but that was a somewhat roundabout route and I did a limited amount of neutron farming on the way back. That was in a 39LY Anaconda - almost twice your range, so you are going to have jumped into far more systems than me. I did BB huge chunks as well, so I would be more surprised if you didn't get >200MCr than if you did.

Mind you, that's not what all this about, but it'd be nice to get some monetary reward for such an epic journey :)

Are you bouncing around the bubble in the Sidey? Have you at least upgraded it?

Are you kidding me????

THAT close! No one mention that if he'd scanned SagA* he would've made it... just don't.

Isn't Sag A* only 600k or 700k Cr (haven't been there myself)?
I reckon he needs 3 million Cr worth of data still, unless the requirements have been dropped since this spring...

Uh, ahem...

Welcome back, Fawd! :)

Did you find any Space Patrol bases out there?

That Sidey needs to be put in a museum. Amazing!
Oh and congrats commander! ;) Truely an epic journey.
Crossing the entire galaxy and making it back home again with only paper thin hull plating for protection, brushing countless planet surfaces for jumponium, and still no fatal incidents. Marvelous! It's like The Lord Braben himself was watching over you [big grin]

Except I face planted on a planet after Sag A* so wouldn't have mattered anyway :)

Glad you made it back. A quick trip out just about anywhere should see you reach Elite ;)

She's Lucifer's Palace...my new Orca. Felt I need a little comfort after being crammed in a cardboard box for 8 months! ;)

Thanks Cmdr...the Grass Hopper II is currently stored at Kano. And maybe Lord DB was watching over my many close calls... :)

I agree...I thought it was pretty cool that I was 3% off elite (well, there was a small part of me that was a little disappointed).

Like maybe 3% of you? ;)

Congrats with the orca! :) That one is on my wish list too. Right after a totally over-modded sidewinder :p and the imperial ship line (iEagle, Courier, Clipper). I hate the ethics of the empire, but I totally love their designs... :eek:
