Hot dang. 1mil+ ly travelled

And with the average jump range of their entire career they will still not know what they are facing.
The only thing this number revealed is the average jump distance.
Star density matters a lot for a long distance transit/transport run.
Btw: 17,2 ly - and now good luck to find out if I know how a trip is to Sag A* or Colonia …
Oh, sorry.
Didn't read the OP...
I thought that this was average per ship... (I calculated av. per ship because i don't use my other two ships and made only 13 and 9 jumps in both Cutter and FdL then they were empty. But for Anaconda I had to dig in my logs to find when i bought it (--the dist. of Cutter and FdL) and than calculate it. This was my punishment for not reading OP. I'm an idiot)
That's 21.02ly for me then.

Roughly about 24 ly...unmodded asp scout presently. Ive used the asp explorer fer months but wanted to see if the scout was better or worse...personal choice out of curiosity. It does handle significantly better have to admit and I spend about 90% of my time in the black.
On a side note, im refusing to take part in the CG to jacques as the original dream was to leave the faction bgs in the bubble and create something new...all this is doing is helping to create a clone bubble with the same rubbish many of us left behind months ago. Im a freelancer and will not support factions at all...also a personal choice.

Surprisingly it is at 21 ly
I've traveled a lot in combat ships and most time in my Python Pre-2.1 with only 15ly range. But somehow my other ships have compensated this.

It was the only way to get a hard number, from Frontier itself, that was representative of each players experience. I do not have access to Frontier's database, to generate a more detailed set of reports. Sorry.
You are correct about star density being an important factor. So is the composition of stars in each system, to determine the number of stars that have fuel. Often, the primary star that the ship emerges in does not have a very friendly welcome awaiting...
The lifetime average is also not relevant to the Colonia reference, as with long range trips you don't do 5ly hops like on trade routes.
Some still use "E" rated FSD's perhaps, or only venture out from their base systems a short distance.
Also, I thought there would be fewer long-range types responding. Putting a "less than seven" option seemed to be too far in excluding players who only travel short distances.
Now, it seems I need poll options for 20-25, 25-30, 30-35, 35-40, 40-45, and 50+.
I am such a silly dog. Everybody starts their career with a fifty light-year explorer Sidewinder, modded, to the max., it would seem.
39.72.
What can I say. Im impatient.

As I said, someone can start the total distance poll. You're up.

That's OK. You "found X".

As I have found, I was mistaken on which way the poll would skew.....
That's the point. Many have not gone out of densely populated areas.
Perhaps you would like to try your own poll, with anecdotal numbers, that the board would rip to shreds, and vent their (redacted) on? It seems you are all-knowing, which I am not.
I also admit mistakes. This poll seems to have brought out quite a few of the long-range explorers. Perhaps it has suppressed respondents with average distances of less than 20 light-years from responding....
I humbly bow and grovel in your direction, to create the perfect poll.
55.4ly
402600 / 29164 = 13.8Ly
Popped out to Colonia once, with Engineering Long Range FSD mods I can see this slowly creeping up even with most of my time spent in the Bubble.

I *knew* one of SJA's NPC's was out there!
1,221,045 ly / 42483 jumps makes an average of 28.74ly.
Woulda been a lot higher if I hadn't spent ages fully engineering my corvette pre-module storage. All that jumping around with a pitiful 17LY range..

That would seem to be the anecdotal case. Jumponium, and FSD mods would seem to have made later exploration ranges increase.
Silly me. I thought I should explore *everything* in a system, have an alternate to land at for fuel and repairs, in case of damage, and reduce risk by not going out to Beagle Point, with no AFMU or heat sinks, or...
