You probably need to be 3000ly+ to routinely find undiscovered systems, and that is assuming you avoid nebula and high traffic routes to places like Sag A* and Colonia. You could try going up or down a few hundred light years.I'm currently heading out into the back of beyond in my Asp Explorer, to see if I can find any more stuff to plaster my name over. (I said "any more" because as I mentioned elsewhere, I'm a returning user having not played since about 2016 and back then I was first to discover quite a few things.)
I'm currently about 1300 LY from Sol and heading towards the outer rim of the galaxy, but so far it's all discovered.
Welcome back. Ship engineering might be a new thing - Horizons = for you. Asp X can fairly easily get above 68ly jump range these days.
You may be following the same route I took if your headed towards Elysian Shore. If you see Gomez Adams all over everything starting at about 2,000 light years out, change course or elevation. I went on a slightly lower trajectory for the most part.
You tend to find more undiscovered stuff if you are not heading towards anything remotely interesting, lots of people tend to head off straight up or down from the bubble or to Sag A*, Colonia, nebulae or famous stars.I'm currently heading out into the back of beyond in my Asp Explorer, to see if I can find any more stuff to plaster my name over.

Plotting routes using non scoopable stars can help but is more risky.

It's been a while since I last did a back up. Done now
Thanks for the welcome back. When I first returned, I practised a few things in Horizons for a while as I was trying to get the hang of things once more after being away for such a long time, but I've now upgraded to Odyssey.
I figured I might have to go quite a bit further out than I am now to find the undiscovered stuff and I'll keep heading out for the time being, but might have to return to a space station before that to get some repairs as I've had a few mishaps along the way, including jumping into a system with four stars all very close to each other and I took some heat damage. I've used up all my heat sinks and quite a few of my AFMU thingies but whatever, we'll see how it goes.
I've got a 35LY jump range on my Asp right now, and I've read about the geezer on Iapetus who can almost double that with his magic, but currently I don't have the combat bonds and whatnot to give him a visit. I'm hoping to earn a load more credits from this trip towards the coast of a Mamba to use in combat, but I do enjoy the discovery aspect of the game as well.
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Aye, I'm quite possibly travelling a route that's been pretty much travelled by others already (South of the bubble) but I'll take on board your advice about non-scoopable stars and places that don't seem interesting so thanks!
just click on post you want to quote on hit the +quote,and in the new reply hit the insert quote button, or the quickest way is too hit reply on the post you want to reply to.Thanks for the welcome back Tyres and sorry I'm having trouble with forum quotes again.

Aye I did that with single quotes - it's the multiple ones that give me a headache. I should be okay with this as I used to post on quite a few forums using variants of phpBB, but these days it's nearly all on Facebook so I'm a bit out of practice.
I think, if you click on "quote" then "reply" it will pop the quoted post into your new one... if you keep the reply post open, then click on "quote" from another post, it will put that post into your current reply. I think I'm making sense but you never knowAye I did that with single quotes - it's the multiple ones that give me a headache.

im now the master of the imp's yah
yahThis planet looks like a Dorito that has been dunked in guacamole.
Post the "update" - I am now playing in Horizons 3.8

Jumped to another system and found a nice little brown planet, with Stratum Techtonicas on it (a boring but very high-value biological). The mountains were quite nice though.
I've decided to get back to my DBX. The Dolphin is cute and all, but something about it always bugs me. I feel like I'm flying a bath toy, maybe. lol.
But I was kinda into the whole purple thing, so I gave my DBX a new floral paint job, just for a change from its usual all-white look. Also it will serve as camoflage if the Thargoids ever come looking for me.
I feel like getting back to some sort of civilization. I'm equidistant from the bubble and Colonia, around 15000LY whichever way I go. I think perhaps I'll visit Colonia. I haven't been there in quite a while, and there are some engineers I could unlock if I feel so inclined. And I can visit my one and only earthlike world and say hi, perhaps.
Anyway, I'm headed in that direction now. No plans on how long it will take me -- just depends on how I feel.

I'll stand you a pint at the nearest outpost/station when you arrive...Logged in to see this sight:

I have two commanders, the second of which is Horizon's only. Running that account on the new Horizons 4.0 client I find it is using the keybindings I set up for my main account on Odyssey. Bit of a surprise because the main account was set up for yaw control on mouse for firing gauss cannons.
I think we'll start hearing from first time 4.0 client users about how their keybindings have gone and don't get restored from their backup....
