Well, once I travelled to Formidine(?) Rift and back with fully equipped (some weapons, mining equipment, some cargo space) Anaconda. This was after Horizons (I had the SRV) but before Engineers. My max. jump range was something like 24 ly or maybe less.
First two week it was fun. But only first two weeks.
After that, I travelled with my fully equipped Anaconda with G4 FSD (after Engineers, but before Neutron Highway) to Colonia and it was not fun at all. So, I become the citizen of Colonia and I have enough Exploration for my whole life. Maybe, just maybe, one day I will try to travel to Sag. A and back to Colonia.
