Yeah well. I thought I had a respectable trip going. But wow...
The numbers I see from Chiggy and Allitnil are staggering.
but then again I might be looking good on the standpoint of bodies scanned and value.
If I survive I'll have something to show for it.
But both of you have my utmost respect.

Allitnil I've been honored to tag body's you left behind.

Chiggy you've taught me how to find ELW's more effectively. (but check your PM as I have some questions in the coming days)

You are legends [yesnod]

Amazing work! You've seen a few places, haven't you! Congratulations on the milestone.

EDIT:

Wow, Macros and especially Allitnil, too. Just, wow! You guys are legends!

They are very impressive stats and it did make me feel a little inadequate until I realised the amount of time that had been invested in getting them. When I've played 5149hrs I'm sure I'll be as good as Alittnil. At my current rate it will be in 8 years. No doubt by then FD will have had to make the field wider for some players.

Heck yes, please don't ever confuse quantity with quality! Chiggy has excelled at finding ELWs and that's one thing that really stands out for him (plus, obviously, his recent rescue mission - that he identified a possible solution and committed to attempting it within mere minutes of the distress call says all you need to know about his character). I've done OK with ELWs overall (but obviously a very long way off Chiggy's ratio of ELWs to total systems) and in many respects I'm just a jack of all trades who has played a lot and hence done a lot. But I consider my exploring hard to reach areas as my speciality and much more significant than any mere numbers. At one time I held all of the records for "furthest in any co-ordinate axis direction plus furthest from Sol and furthest from Sag A*". I still have 3 or 4 of them and no other CMDR has more than one. I've been to many, many times more systems on the very edge of the galaxy than anyone else and quite probably more than all other CMDRs combined. - definitely so if the EDSM record is remotely accurate.

One thing I would say though about the time stat. I don't know whether or not it includes time spent at the main menu. If so, then the amount is hugely exaggerated for me. But likely also for many other CMDRs. Even if it does not, since I'm usually tens of thousands of LYs away from any danger I think nothing of leaving my ship in SC whilst I attend to other things. Or I might be active in the game but not jumping, eg today I have spent several hours doing nothing more than looking up systems on the galmap whilst searching for a system that meets a particular criteria. So either way, the total time isn't more than an indication of the actual amount and if you're someone who is either definitely playing or definitely not playing then it's not really comparable.

edit: Correction, Sam Ishum has both the furthest north & furthest from Sol records since they are the same system so he has two of the current distance records.

Where can i see the records? I was approaching the Angosk area recently but gave up when i read in this forum, that you were already there mapping the further stars recently ;)

I keep meaning to make a post with the records but have still not got round to it :(

The record for furthest from Sag A* is held by CMDR Turambar with Angosk OM-W d1-0 at 45,374.76 LY. It turns out that it only needed a maximum jump of 78.65 LY so well within the range of many Jumponium enhanced loadouts. Based on other systems that he tagged my assumption is that Turambar achieved it sometime after Horizons and prior to the Engineers release.

Correct as always. While many people were heading north after the release of Horizons, I decided to head south. I wasn't in the Beta and it took me a while to get used to the SRV and prospecting, so I was never going to break new ground going north. I was in the Angosk region in mid-January, and back home a week later to belatedly set out on the DW expedition.

I had an extremely stripped-down Anaconda with one SRV and D3 shields for a jump range of around 80 LY with jumponium. I nearly destroyed it twice misjudging planetary approaches which each took about 30% of my hull. These days you can travel slightly better equipped. :)

I guess that you are referring to me missing out on the record for the most southerly system in the Lyed region on the way to Angosk. That last jump was around 88 LY if I remember correctly. I saw your EDSM entry so I assume you were first there - if so, then I'm glad it was you who got it.

I just tested this, and time spent in the main menu is not included in the time stat.


And hey, if we're doing stats now, looks like I'm the highest rated in CQC among the folk here:

Net worth's a bit above one billion Cr, by the way. I just keep most of it in ships - an Anaconda, a Cutter, a Python, a Vulture, a Fer-de-Lance, two Clippers and six Couriers. Plus some other ships that I don't actually use. I do use these ones, although nearly half of them are stashed at Jaques Station.

Also, if there were such a statistic, then I'm fairly certain I would win the "looked at the largest number of Earth-like world screenshots" award.
Having looked at thousands of them, I was enlightened to a terrible secret of the cosmos, which is not for the sane, so here's a spoiler tag:
they are not just round, and not just blue, but they are round AND blue!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to drink. Until I forget.

wow, so what you do Allitnil is quality, and what Chiggy does is just quantity? And they say self praise is no praise!
I think there's room for everyone in this galaxy, I personally wouldn't try and imply that I'm superior just because I got a lucky roll on a jump range mod and I have explored hard to reach places, but hey that's just me :) There's no doubting your achievements, but maybe a little bit of "winding your neck in" is in order when you start posting on Chiggy's thread about how amazing you are? No disrespect intended, but if there were an Elite Dangerous movie you would be the English baddy and Chiggy would be the American hero lol. God this is starting to feel like the dangerous discussion forum
