Yes, I saw the new poll about achievements, and so to complement that list, I came up with a list of things which push the achievements envelope just a little bit more.

Clickbait title is clickbait...
Yes, click away! This is just for my own amusement, but it is interesting.

I am running a poll on the newsletters too, but this has already fallen over on to the next page. I'm just trying to add a little fun to the grumpy forum, so we can all be in a good mood for the 2.2 underwhelm, which we will bare hoping they are rushing in Aliens already. This may double the ship count in the game, in the long run...

At the time of writing this, 14 people voted, and everybody said they crashed into the back wall of the station by trying to rush in too quickly. Thats funny. In my super engineered Asp right now, its hard to even slow down for the entrance. ha-ha.

I'll bump this a couple more times to get some idea of where people are up to with this. I have 46 Niobium of the 60 I was aiming for, for crafting good jump range. Although it would be nice to have an engine crafting mod to boost my speed in my space slug Corvette.

I've been to the event horizon of the black hole. As I was there, staring into the void, I saw an alternate universe in which my commander has done all the other things on your list, too.
 
Well at least I'm not the only one that has been deliberately being destroyed to clear a backlog of unclaimed bounties :D
 
Ok, so its the final day I will bump this poll. Very interesting!

These are the ones which I DID NOT TICK:

Collected 10 Polonium or more (I found 7 or 8)
Collected 10 Technetium or more (I found 1)
Been under a ship as it lands on a planet, and re-docked immediately (I think I did this but not sure. It depends if the SRV is in a hollow which the ship sensor ignores, otherwise it will take off).
Have your ship almost destroyed by a type 6, type 7 or type 9 (again not sure about this, but cant remember being almost destroyed by one of these)
Deliberately got blown up to return instantly from a long trip
Been destroyed by Skimmers (almost! but not quite, I made it back to the ship with a few % left)
 
I started out this character-reset just mining P,P,P because that's all the refinery I could afford was able to hold. XD
