Regarding getting there without getting bored:
Do stuff on the way (it appears that you are, which is great) because jumping alone for long distances is soul destroying even for those who love exploration. Scan stuff, take pictures, land on (low g) planets (with your shields up) and drive around shooting rocks. Just break up the monotony every 20 jumps or so, and you'll be fine.
It's the trip home that's always the killer, anyway
Good luck and have fun o7
Hathor looks like a good shout.
Her Greek equivalent is Aphrodite, which hooks nicely into 'Lover's woe' since she was something of a trollop (while married to Hephaestus). Aphrodite was also (according to Theogeny) born from Uranus' severed genitals and if THAT doesn't fit the definition of 'Parent's grief' I don't know what does!
For the old Rifters: Aphrodite is also the greek equivalent of Inanna/Ishtar and we've all been here before
That's definitely a clue then
Sag A produced 2 distinct sounds. The sound of a ship slowing down in super cruise and the thunder-like sounds you hear while speeding up. My best guess/overall impression was that it sounded like all of witch space or something was inside it. Idk if it’s unique to Sag a but I haven’t noticed it with other BLs. I also tried lining up Sag a with source 2 directly behind it and then doing a bunch of random things. Also tried flying into Sag A which proved impossible, unless you have 20,000 hear sinks and about a year of time to fly into it with thrusters.
I don't know! A couple weeks ago I started looking at XX being Roman numerals with RA being right ascension!ha ha ha! Agreed!
Must have been space madness! I've been in Lyras Song for a long timeRight....I've been thinking....if I was in charge of recruitment for an elitist group of explorers, and my brief was to "pick only a handful in each generation", what would make me stop and say..."oooh, what about this guy?"
It cant be gaining Elite explorer, because far more than a handful in each generation are elite explorers.
What about if somebody turned up in my station and sold me exploration data from every single galactic region? That might make me stop and think.
Does anybody know of anybody trying this?
Please somebody tell me I'm nuts, otherwise I'm going to be really tempted to try it, and that is something I will seriously regret about a month in!
Just cos you’re nuts doesn’t mean you’re definitely wrong!Right....I've been thinking....if I was in charge of recruitment for an elitist group of explorers, and my brief was to "pick only a handful in each generation", what would make me stop and say..."oooh, what about this guy?"

Good point about 3.3 I had forgotten that. Although, who is to say DW were unlockable, prior to 3.3??
Do we know that it was possible to gain a DW invite prior to 3.3? We dont really know its possible at this point do we....??Just cos you’re nuts doesn’t mean you’re definitely wrong!
But for this I think it’s worth bearing in mind that the Galactic regions were only introduced into the game in 3.3. (Always possible they were there in the background and never fronted to players prior to 3.3, but haven’t seen anything to on any way indicate that was the case.)
LOL. Yes. Although where my mind was going, is that (if I remember rightly) if you hand in exploration data, your reputation increases with the controlling fraction. So another question might be.....has anybody become allied with the DW, solely by handing in exploration data? If not, I can try this when (if) I ever get back to the bubble.
