The galaxy is dangerous

Recently started my first exploration trip. I've played since right after release, but have put off going exploring - until now.

Today is the first time I've actually felt legitimatly scared playing. I was jumping and scanning systems in a T Tauri field. I figured I would get through it soon enough, so I pressed on. But with half a tank left and only T Tauris in the neigborhood, it dawned on me that I might be stuck here with no fuel left:rolleyes:. Oh shoot. Less than 50 jumps and already I've already made a fool of my self, nice going[up]. I was carrying some profitable and rare scans and I didn't want to loose it. A few neutrons and earh-likes. Even a Herbig ae/be and an ammonia world! Luckily, I found a main sequence star in the midst of all the T Tauris and made my way to it with a few tons of fuel left:cool:.

Another time I jumped into in between a neutron/white dwarf binary:eek:. Luckily they weren't close to each other, and I'didnt sustain any damage. I still choked on my tea jumping into the system. If they were closer it would've been real pain [knocked out].

I guess you could say I'm on an "explorers high". I'm sure it will pass at some point, but I'm loving every minute at the moment:D

Getting into exploration is like getting into the woods. Woods are not scary. We see woods all the time while travelling by car or train. We even bee to the woods once or twice. So exploration is easy as a walk to the woods. At night. Beyond GPS and mobile range. With no supplies with you. Where area you are is an old artillery shooting range. And wolves are after you...

Oh look! A mushroom!

Yep - can be real fun :)
I hope you have a reasonable supply of materials so you could get an FSD boost to help those situations?

Make yourself a voice record with a famous quote like

“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

Play this every 5,000 ly and be happy that Sam is not with you. :D

Most of the galaxy is perfectly safe... though it might not feel like it when you hit one of those, well, not so safe places... :D
And should you get stranded in Stellar Bad Lands... I've heard the Fuel Rats are still out in force..

I got a little scared just going on my first several-star trip with a 9 LY jump range, when I hit a few purple stars in a row. Made a course correction just in case. It was great.
