I'm not certain, but they needed a neutron star boost to jump in.
Some ideas on getting the most out of the upcoming content
- Status
I looked at the route - there was a 219LY jump, with no neutron star at the other end for the return trip.
I’m guessing this was before the double supercharge was discovered?
The only way into M67 was via a neutron jump from Outotch SA-U d4-0.
The neutron jump allows you to reach AH Cancri.
From AH Cancri you need a J3 Jumponium jump to get into the M67 cluster. But there are no neutron stars in AH Cancri to make the return trip.
FD did create the Anaconda's Graveyard POI in recognition of the pilots who hit self destruct up in that cluster.
HD 76133
Planet 1 C
23.488 / 81.934
The Anaconda's Graveyard is the final resting place of the Distant Stars Expedition 3303.
The only problem is if you want to visit it, you have to die afterwards to come home
(or go there in beta
)

Once in a lifetime adventure.
With all the CGs, it looks like I'll be bringing my Anaconda this time.

That sounds like something I should definitely go visit! :O
It was pretty awesome up there on the Distant Stars trip. I wish there were a lot more areas of out of the way star clusters like that in the Elite galaxy. I search the fringes and find very small clusters now and then, but nothing like that.
Another use for the neutron supercharge capacitor!
It's made by MacDonald's... oh, wait, I was thinking double supersized.
It used to be possible to get two supercharges from a single neutron star, by engaging hyperdrive in the neutron jet cone. The boost is used when the fuel is consumed, which is at the start of the countdown; it wasn’t trivial, but if you timed it right you could supercharge again before you jumped away. Then you would arrive at your destination supercharged, enabling you to make the return trip. If you failed, there was no way back, so it wasn’t without risk.
Sadly it was nerfed in 2.4; it was an unintended feature, but a very cool one that many explorers would like to see back on a legitimate basis. It was used to get to - and back from - all manner of cool places. As an example, here’s the jump to Vahsel Point:

Last time me and a couple of others found DWE to go way to slow.. the fun parts where just the meetups and the meetups along the road.
but if you'r someone who playes 4h+ a week day... should we take some strange detours this time?
last time we just went back to the bubble multible times because it wasnt going fast enough for us.
(+Anaconda paintjobs finally came out back then after we hit SagA.)
btw did DWE really took 6months before the last person arrived?

Since I'm a german commander I started to work on a translation for the german Community Forum.
Progress is slow tho, since I have to make up new terms for some cool stuff like "Deep Core Blasting"
Many german equivalents sound boring or just weird so I'm rearranging stuff: "New tools to mine asteroids - up to their utter and complete destruction"

Awesome - thanks Lord_aNOOBis. Let me know when the German version is posted, and I'll link it on the main post of this thread
It's scheduled to be posted in about 10 minutes. I keep refreshing the screen.
Its possible. I guess there will be quite a few Colonials taking part who would prefer not having to return to the bubble to complete DW2. So yes - its something we can add to the Journey Home itinerary. [up]
I just arrived at Colonia and heard about this event halfway there, since I'm not that far away form the core I thought I could do some pre-scouting operations for the bubble-Sag A* route on my return trip to the bubble. But I need to get an idea of what exactly I should be looking for and roughly where. Can you help me out? Thanks
