+rep from me ... astonishing effort and well planned [yesnod]

That's what I like about this game ... it supports record-breaking attempts of diverse kinds !

Congrats! Will you have to self destruct though, or will you have enough fuel to jump out?

I have this much fuel left right now, about 9 light years after the record:

Those barely-yellow pixels are the slim amount i need to jump out to the nearest star.

If you can do this and get home again (rather than self destruct once you are out of fuel) it would be impressive indeed. I had assumed you were on a one-way trip :)

If anyone is in the Semotus Beacon area tonight around 2100-2200GMT I will be stopping to take pics, video, eject my crap and jump out to get back on the road to the next WayPoint on the BPE.

Feel free to hop into the system and Wing-Up to spot how far out I am.

Loved the video Keef (thanks for the shoutout). I did wonder why you weren't targetting Sol, no permit - OK, that makes sense I guess. Slightly surprised you couldn't see the dropped cargo tho? Don't suppose you fancy going back to double check that? :p

Thanks again to CMDR Klutz and the rest of you for keep tabs on the grueling journey! It was fun to see all the reactions on the forums and in media. Much thanks also to the Fuel Rats for checkin in to see that I hadn't burnt my last fume.

In the time since, I have returned to Colonia to cash in my exploration and smear my name on hundreds of regular and hopefully a few dozen neutron stars... and now heading back to PYRIVEAE FK-C D14-72 aka Bryagh's Nest to meet back up with the BPE. I don't know what's worse... ~2 weeks spent in supercruise going 66.3 LY or 4 days jumping 82,000 LY.
Neutron Superhighways and ~60 LY jump ranges FTW.
Is that Guardian 10 LY boost coming back?


Thanks again!
