Rest in peace, Sir Christopher Plummer. Most notable for his historical interpretations of Captain Georg von Trapp and General Chang. Your work will live on.

I didn't even realise you could do that but I'll definitely give it a try. I always found the SRV a bit clumsy to drive.
Oh come on. That's basically the ED equivelant to an email scam. Not to seem uncharitable but >insert Joaquin Phoenix Joker meme here<...

Combat rank increasing, slowly but surely. Just spent months out in the black, obviously having to mine a lot. Thought I'd have a look at that CG now I'm back in the bubble. You need to do mining. I'll pass on this one.
I have never seen The Sound of Music, but loved him lots of other films. A fine actor and, at 91, a good innings.Rest in peace, Sir Christopher Plummer.

Arngeir.
There is a mining CG going on at Eurybia at the moment one of the nearby mining locations might interest you as it has Tritium which I have set to ignore as it is no use for the CG.
Guardian scavenging continuing.
Module Blueprints
Fighter Blueprints
All junk bits full
About 50% full on the Guardian data stuff, still need a few more Weapon Blueprints.
Found a good site for them, very fast, plenty of active obelisks, not many Sentinels (Unless you want to activate them).

What I'm up to?
Conducting a survey of a sector:
The borders are shaping quite nicely.
Luckily this is only 3 or 4 layers high one, otherwise it would be too much to handle alone. Even now I suppose I'll spend a full year here (in addition to the time, some 8 months, I've already spent).

What's wrong with cubes? Resistance is futile!
Which one (system)? I stuck myself in a pristine with minimal FCs in system - found out why - no hotspots in the metallic ring.

Bought a joystick. I had a Microsoft Sidewinder Standard in the '90s but haven't had one since then. I had a short list of criteria in mind:
I also got to re-enter all bindings as the game had forgotten them overnight. Thanks to @Para Handy for writing a forum post in 2019 mentioning the location of the preset file - now I have a backup!
- sturdy construction
- does not look like an android's personal massage device
- a lot of hats

I am just 400 LY from the intergalactic border, which is part of the the target exploration area I am working on. So far I have fully scanned 60 systems-all first submissions to EDSM as well as being previously undiscovered. It might not look like a lot, but the star density is very low where I presently am.
There are also lots of notable star phenomena in the sectors I am exploring. Unlike the previous 4 month long trip in which I found zero, in this trip I have already found more than 10 just in the target exploration area. Below are some examples.
Viride peduncle trees
Purperium silicate crystals
I haven't been able to take hi res screenshots. I do press alt-f10 but the computer responds with volume level control instead, so right now I take screenshots with f10.
The area I am working on might not have the glamour or fame of Beagle Point or Salome's Reach, but it has areas that are hard to reach unless you have at least standard jumponium. I am now in an area in which jumps of at least 60 LY are the norm, and I have had to make a jump of about 106 LY to keep going (this means standard grade jumponium).
This also means that a full fuel tank is now a liability since I now need as much jump range as I can. So, I keep it half full at the most. In tis way I don't have to use basic jumponium when the systems are about 77 light years apart. If I filled the tank, I would have to use jumponium in this situation.

Congratulations on your project! Hopefully you have made many first discoveries and have found lots of high value planets.What I'm up to?

Did you look at the Logitech Extreme 3D pro? For a budget stick, it's pretty impressive although temporarily out of stock on Amazon.
Are peduncles scanable? If so, what treats do they yield?
I recently noticed I was was playing in 1600 resolution rather than 1920 as I switched from SMAA to FXAA anti-alaising. The latter really makes a difference.
