You know what you need to do rupee? Go to the Empire and rank-up so you can buy some slaves to smack around, have them service your wealthy clients. If they act up or scratch the paint, you can flush them out the airlock..........
Karl kinda seems like the sort who likes country music...This is my pilot, Karl. I've had him for a long time, but I don't do all that much combat so he's only ranked up to Master so far.
He's very reliable and never complains. And he's not a waifu, so there's that.
It looks like I have paid him about 300 million credits for his service so far -- seems like a bargain.

Well, he actually said "partner" not wife. Which leaves the story open to interpretation
I have only ever found 1. You are doing rather well, I think.
I was thinking about how you guys jump around up to 500Ly at a time, but as with everything in this game, there's no reward without the grind. I do the 1000Ly plot thing (most economical) stopping at every system, last plot was 436 jumps, this current plot is just 283, the stars are thinning out. I'm averaging 2.5 ELW's per 1000Ly, I don't mind as I see a lot of interesting things. I think I'm at 41 Earth Like Worlds, I always take a screen shot of the FSS page showing the ELW.
I just do that to get out into undiscovered territory. After that I hit every single star around where I stopped, until I get tired and come home. And of course in all the years before I had a carrier I traveled just like you are now.
One thing I have noticed is if you log out and come back later and reacquire the same plot, it actually changes. When I get tired and log out, I check to see how many jumps are left in the plot, when I log back in it can go up or down by 35 jumps, so the plot changes. If I slow to a stop, grab some coffee and force myself to keep going, I'll find an ELW before I log out. I honestly believe that if you stick with it and don't log off, you find a lot more ELW's. Just my technique.I just do that to get out into undiscovered territory. After that I hit every single star around where I stopped, until I get tired and come home.

I have done 24,932 system scans. I have found 1 ELW.
You, my friend, are finding ELWs left and right compared to me!
I suppose I've just been unlucky in that regard
Well it seems to work for you
Thanks for that, I'll definitely check it out. I have noticed that 90% of the systems I found them in had 2 or less stars and fewer than 12 planets or moons. I still consider myself a rookie.Well it seems to work for you
You might enjoy Chiggy’s thread about his ELW search and what type of systems he found them in. It’s quite interesting.

Amazing job, Sir ..... [yesnod] Can't rep you any more, so virtual +1forums.frontier.co.uk
I joined that hunt for a sort time, but I find just going from one system to the next looking for the ELW signal spike makes me want to log off from Elite Dangerous and go and do something more entertaining like load the dishwasherWell it seems to work for you

Great shot!
I like that second one, very pretty.
Rather watch paint dry, right? I don't know, all this stuff is still pretty new to me, I am a rookie. I feel bad, almost guilty for Codger, it doesn't seem fair he's been doing this much longer than I have. I assumed that this was average having 41 discovered ELW's.I joined that hunt for a sort time, but I find just going from one system to the next looking for the ELW signal spike makes me want to log off from Elite Dangerous and go and do something more entertaining like load the dishwasher
Thanks! They are both at 3840 x 2160 and look quite nice when viewed full size.
If you have focused more on finding ELWs and you know the star classes to visit that are more likely to have them, I'm not surprised your count is higher than mine. I tend to filter out non-scoopable and M class stars when travelling between known points of interest to see. That increases my odds of finding ELWs, but also water worlds that pay quite well too (as you will know).
I'm not really hunting them though, I just make a plot and go, I don't skip any systems (no filters). I have found them under every type except brown dwarfs and Herbig AE/BE stars. I took screen shots of every one of the FSS pages just to keep track not to look for patterns or create a system. I just listen to music, drink coffee and play, I actually like exploring.
