Are there any changes in how to execute the run? Any experiences already made with route plotting and stuff in 2.2?
Silence for almost a week? Makes me think that some new route plotting is going on!
A quick glance at EDSM reveals there's some busy bees out there!... Uh ? What ? What would make you say that ? I'm not doing anything ! Don't look at me like that !
Now that is a good boss, one that knows each of us well enough to what conditions make each of us most productive - keep that boss as long as you can, ones as good as that are hard to find.I've come back here on orders of my department head at work.
Well, not really. He wants me to find a house and a spouse for the express purpose of putting the stress of work aside for awhile. (And yes, it's been hella stressful over the past few months.) I read his comment as, "You know, the last time I really put aside the stress, other than with friends (which are 1500 miles away), was when I played E: D".

first as has been said having a boss that cares about you is a great thing!
my .02 feel free to disagree.
As far as adding more to your life to reduce stress, I am not sure that should be your first move.
After 34 years; "he who finds a fine wife finds a good thing" is an understatement, but I think you should manage your stress before you look for a wife.
You need to go into marriage with your eyes wide open, then after keep them half shut. (ignore the small stuff)
what ever you do I wish you all the best and welcome back to ED.

Glad to see you back
That was interesting.
At the moment, I'm dead tired. That said... run completed. I was right about the DBX... the extra time needed to scoop made the piloting challenge nothing by comparison.

Congratulations! Now you just need to hope that drakhyr resurfaces in order to put you back in your rightfull place on the board.
Awesome! I don't want to think about how few (if any) klies I would have managed at a decent pace before completely vapourizing the ship

Edit: I have to explicitly give the DBX a 2s-per-jump handicap to match your time. By the sound of your scooping descriptions that may be about right though!
Hang on you bloody what?!
That is an insanely impressive time. I'm just sat here looking at my estimates wondering if they gave the DBX a bigger optional internal slot and nobody told me. Way to mark your return!

Congratulations, that's an awesome time! How's the 2.2 handling on a SagA* trip?

Don't run in Horizons - run in plain-vanilla E: D. The reason for this... if a system has planets, Horizons will take much longer in witchspace, and it will make for a very long and painful day.

Then there's the reason I ran with a DBX as opposed to, say, an Asp or an Anaconda. Starting in 2.2, the ship is placed in-system based on the system the ship came from. This means that the destination star, the place you want to go, is always going to be behind the star you just arrived at - meaning you're going to have to circle the star and get in line-of-sight before you can start charging the FSD. The effect this has depends on the ship. DBX is going to take a long time to scoop, so the time to get line-of-sight is never the limiting factor. However, this will likely become an issue for nimble, dive-in-and-get-out fast-scooping ships such as Asp Explorers and Haulers. (I'm still weighing whether or not it would have a significant effect on the Anaconda. Anacondas are weird sometimes, just because of their turn speed and how much they scoop at one time.)
