Beagle Point - do not go out there

But you did find the Crystal cave with the Braben Statue,... right?

I did but they did not allow me to take my camera inside ;)

Things are bit to easy with engineered FSD, I did not have a single moment when I had to stop and check my route, going back from Zurara was more difficult :) But I'm glad I did visit it, now off to visit some other remote places..
 
The allure of Beagle Point isn't really about the system itself, it's about the effort of the journey to get there and back again. It's about one place existing as a waypoint or a meeting point for wandering travelers on the other side of the galaxy. It's a lot like the peak of Mt. Everest: there isn't much up there except thin oxygen and a nice snowy view; the glamour and reward of being up there is all about the effort of the trip itself, that's what makes it worth pursuing. Like Beagle Point.

I want to go back....
 
I was on the Distant Worlds exped and got to Beagle on a 28tfuel tank 32ly ranged un-engineered Conda. I didn't even use jumponium.
Back then you actually navigated to BP and it used to be an achievement. I wear my decal with pride still.
My wander lust is being stimulated by this topic. I can see CMDR Voorheez setting off in his crazy engineered DBE for quite some time.

Ya know its kinda funny, my trip to Beagle Point was also initially filled with disappointment, however, not for the same reasons as you. Firstly, let me say that I actually had a good time in the system itself. There are some nice planets out there, and if you are interested in 'what' to do out there, you need only look at the weeks of activities of Distant Worlds. During the SHEPARD Mission out at Beagle we also did some fighter pvp [not possible in your Asp], re-ran the rally race from DW, as well as other events. I had a good time at Beagle, but as EtherealCereal mentioned, Ishum's Reach for me is a much more exciting system. While not as difficult to get to anymore, the system is fantastic, especially the last furthest moon, Salome's Reach, which has remarkable deep canyons, coloraton, etc. My disappointment with Beagle was not the system itself, but actually the region. I was bummed because of how many of the systems out there had already been tagged. That's my fault..... In hindsight I realize perhaps you don't travel to a well-known historical and tourist destination with a naive expectation that new systems are out there to be explored!!! That being said, I did find two systems more than 65,300ly away that are now first discovered by me... so that's an accomplishment.

Which leads me to my final point. The longer it has been since I was at Beagle, and the closer I am getting to the bubble, the more I miss Beagle and the absolute distance. Maybe it is nostalgia, but as every day passes, the more my yearning to return to Beagle grows.... give it some time. Hopefully you will eventually feel the same way.

Also, to follow up on this, I thought I would share Episode 5 of the SHEPARD Chronicles, a video series covering the Shepard Mission. Episode 5 covers our time at Beagle Point, as well as a detailed survey of each planet in Ishum's Reach....

Beagle Point 3 for me would be reason enough to go there again. That is, when it's restored to how it was before the thing we will not mention happened :)

BP2 did for me...never going there again.

I fly with all the lights on after my time on BP2.

Psss, Beagle Point is for the weak, Ishum's Reach is the big deal nowadays:cool:
Getting to Star One was ten times harder (required 100 x tier-3 jumponium boosts, almost 6000ly of continuous boosting for the round trip from the last non-boost system) whereas Ishum's Reach only required a handful.

Mind you, both are a LOT easier since 2.3...
