bagged my first neutron star!

[hoopy]

I got to where the neutron stars get really common tonight and my 1000 LY route ended on my second neutron star. I picked another non-sequence object very nearby and it was my first black hole!
I then did 10 neutron stars in a row before stopping for fuel - I only needed a tenth of a tank but it's bed time and I'd rather park near a friendly K class start than a scare neutron star!
Is the general tactic simply arrive, honk, target and scan the neutron star, galaxy map to pick the next one, jump and repeat 50 times until you need to refuel? It just seems like a lot of effort after simply following the planned route for almost 19,000 LY!
I guess ELITE would need something like 4000 neutron starts so I'm aiming for at least ranger and hopefully Pioneer after about 1000. I'm going to wander corewards so I should be almost at Sag A by then.

The region of space mentioned earlier is good. There is also a massive field that stretches from the beginning of the FLOARPS all the way through to the Great Annihilator (well 2k short or so). Loads of ELWs, Neutrons, Black Holes.

no !
In-game map is X,Y,Z(width,height,depth)
16000 is to the left of SOL(if in the bubble looking at the core)
-750, is below SOL
1200 is towards core from SOL.

Actually, I was on the way to that field and noticed, you dont need to go that far. I am just 2-3kly away from SOL and its all full of them. Just make sure to be down to -1800 -1000 (around that). I fly back now to goldstein to sell since I found so many today and its so close from home
