Aquila's Halo Navigation

[PeteACarter]

Hi,

My ASP can do 65ly comfortably or 70ly on fumes and I have plenty of premium jumponium. I thought this should be enough for a fairly comfortable trip around the rim.

I struggling in Aquilas Halo at the moment though. I entered right on the corner of Aqulias Halo, Errant Marches and Outer Arm and have been hugging the border of the outer arm.

Have now run out of stars, unless I wimp out and duck into the Outer Arm. I would love to stay in the rim the whole way round though and I'm not even half way around yet (Started in the rift).

Does anybody have any tips for navigating through Aquilas Halo?

I went there in a 70LY Anaconda and quickly realized this Sector is extremely thin and difficult to Navigate outside of a very small band.
IMHO it's unique in that respect, no other Sector only allows to visit such a tiny part of it.

If you look at it through the eyes of ED Astrometrics , the effect is clearly visible. Not a whole lot you can do and a clear "FSD Synthesis grave" for mats if you want to traverse it

Thanks. So pretty much impossible to do without dropping into Outer Arm you think?

Yep, absolutely. That's exactly what happened to me, as there literally was no way to remain in it for the whole time and sample different areas of this Sector.

I'm not logged in right now to check if there's enough outlier Stars (or any at all) that would permit that i.e. in a Carrier with its 500LY capability.
But even then, it'd mostly be Carrier jump after Carrier jump really.

Once FCs come around, we'll probably find that some commanders have found a way to use a cheat tool to bring back the discovery data from a bunch of those unreachable/unreturnable stars. I hope not, but if so I hope Frontier will clean it up!
