Made it to Crab Nebula, Station X! And Pioneer! I did kinda skip the last 15 planets on my list though, in the name of getting the final leg done! I was up to 80 million in planetary data (according to 'the list'), and I figured I'd made at least 20 million in sundry scanning, mapping and bio-data, but more on that later!
I'll drop the rest behind a spoiler cut, 'cause there's a few!
My credentials and balance before cashing in:
And after:
So that came in at roughly 154 million - about half again what I'd hoped for!
About 8 million came from Bio-Scans and Codex claims, 80 million was from planetary scans of worlds above the value threshold I dropped into the 'Road to Riches' calc on Spansh, which means 66 million came from system honking, and all the planets I scanned and mapped on a whim. Pretty good going, I think, and well into Pioneer now. I recon another similar cash-in will get me to Elite.
I think I'll dispense with another Road to Riches list though, it felt rather tyranical at times when I just wanted to be moving forward. And it's 11000 Light Years to my bext destination - Rho Cassiopeiae.
I've decided I'm going to visit nearby Monkey Head and Rosette Nebula's, maybe Seagull, too, then loop back to Jellyfish Nebula and Beta Site Station, then head out to Rho Cass, via the Heart and Soul Nebula's, see if there are any others on the way.
Once I've hit Rho Cass, I can turn back and burn straight to the bubble - Procyon specifically, to rank up Sirius Corp when I cash-in my data, both to hit Elite so I can really get to looking for Raxxla, and to unlock Marco Gwent.
But for now, I think, I'll just noodle around the Crab Nebula for a Bit

Swooping down to another crater in search of alien life:
Found some!
Uh, I think I remember this episode of Dr Who:
Back to space:
Back in space, I stopped for some dinner and to watch the first two episodes of Picard Season 2. Enjoying it so far!
I also, after @Simon Templar 's PC performance queries, looked into what I should be able to run Odessey at - and promtly whacked it up to Ultra!
Who is that handsome devil?
Much closer now!
Less than 10 jumps to go!
Backlit by the Crab Nebula - just one more jump:
Final supercrusie approach to Station X:
A welcome sight:
On the pad. Looking a bit rough now - paint down to 48%:
EDIT:
Oh yeah, those ultra settings - seems to be playing just fine, though I haven't set down on a planet yet. I don't anticipate there will be any problems though. Update once I know.
Conflict Zones and Settlement Missions though - that's where people report most of the issues, and way out here in the sticks I haven't tried those yet - could be a while though!
High GFX settings:
Ultra GFX settings:
Found some!
