[CMDR CHIGGY VONRICTOFEN]

It's that time of year again! Just shy of 1000 jumps into the trip...Waved at one of the DSSA carriers close to my route

Fantastic ongoing effort! well impressed!

 

[Arnoldo]

Never mind the Lys - its the 3462 ELWs in the stats that amazes me

Chiggy makes serious competition with @Jackie Silver and @Factabulous

Don't forget to log HIP systems for Jack you guys when exploring. Use EDiscovery to log 'em

First ringed ELW of the trip!

6th annual circumnavigation?? I remember my first.... It was the Dead End Circumnavigation Expedition. That was a long trip. I think it took a little over 6 months to do. Was it only 3 years ago? Seems longer than that to me.
I might have to try it again!

How many million LY total travel are you up to now?

 

[CMDR CHIGGY VONRICTOFEN]

How many million LY total travel are you up to now?

About to hit 9 million ly....and 228,000 jumps

Hi Chiggy - couple of questions if you don't mind sharing pearls of wisdom.....

1. Do you travel in eco for the majority of journeys?
2. Do you filter on non-sequence, A and F in order to get such an impressive ELW hit rate?
3. Route plotter all the way or a mix of manual plotting to hit that ELW rate?

Don't mind sharing at all! I stay in Eco all the way except for the 2-3 Kly around the bubble...and yeah I filter for just A & F, sometimes I'll also include G if I'm way out on the fringes, 'cause out there most of the G systems are D masscode anyhow. As for the plotting...It's a mix...auto for the most part, but if I see something (like an A9 or F0-F2) that the plotter didn't catch towards the end...I'll do a manual "cleanup". Also if I hit multiple ELWs in half a dozen jumps or so...I stop and strip search the area.

o7 Cmdr and thanks for the prompt reply...
I'm currently experimenting with eco filtered on non-sequence to see how the ELW rate stacks up - not too good but them WW's - sheesh
