Stopping for 20 secs or so at every star to fill up with fuel is the fastest way in a T6...honest
Good luck, I'll be watching with interest
Good work CMDR o7
i'll post a link if/when I set a date and decide to streamGood work CMDR o7
Well done to the others that did runs, would have said sooner but got caught up in the excitement of the alien wreckage treasure hunt lol.
Just so you know, I still intend to race, but the aforementioned treasure hunt got me distracted. Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of the week but to reiterate:
Intent To Race:
Class: Standard
Ship: Asp Explorer
Name: Insert Name Here
Target: <12 Hours
Edit: On a side note, I may Twitch stream the event too. I can't promise it will be entertaining as I'm not an experienced streamer (any advice would be welcome on that front, but I don't have a PC so music is probably out of the question unless I hook my iPod up to a guitar amp or something). Would still be great for somneone to pop their head in and show their support though
If I had 100Cr for everytime I heard a Star Wars joke I'd hire a pilot to fly to Sag A* and back for me!!!

My statement was based on my assumption that the first jumponium attempts would be incremental, eg using 50 J3s, 100 J3s, etc. But it is much easier to gather the materials now and you only need to be a third as crazy to do the full whackWell, technically you were indeed correct, but... not by very much! What a run from Up2d4t3
(*). So I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been beaten by more, moving goal posts and all that.Fair enough! I was planning to do such a thing (just "some" J3) but the more I thought about it, the more I realised if I was going to bother gathering all the damned things I might as well get them all. As you mention, 2.1.05 made that a somewhat easier proposition...My statement was based on my assumption that the first jumponium attempts would be incremental, eg using 50 J3s, 100 J3s, etc. But it is much easier to gather the materials now and you only need to be a third as crazy to do the full whack
I'm waiting with interest to see what sort of numbers the white dwarf/neutron star mechanic is going to allow for... I think it'd have to be something pretty special to justify what would likely be a pretty significant detour to find them in sufficient numbers to use them.
In some ways I'm inclined to agree (despite that going against my interests, heh)... Jumponium was a limited resource that - for J3, at least - you had to think carefully about using. Now, well I've managed to gather the better part of 1000 in maybe 25-30 hours' playtime. That's quite a long time, but that's also nearly an entire hold full of the stuff.* - on my first uses of jumponium, it was a precious resource that had to be conserved and hard decisions made as to whether to use it for (a) or (b). Now it's rather a throwaway commodity and I've stopped bothering to plan routes when using it to get to the outermost reaches of the galaxy. Most CMDRs will welcome the increased accessibility but I can't help but mourn the all too quick loss of what was a really interesting mechanic when first introduced
Is it a lot easier to find now, or was that just due to the x3 multiplier?Now, well I've managed to gather the better part of 1000 in maybe 25-30 hours' playtime. That's quite a long time, but that's also nearly an entire hold full of the stuff.
Whilst white dwarfs are essentially non-existant outside of the bubble and the neutron star band (-/- 1000 LY from the galactic plane), neutron stars themselves are sufficiently abundant that a 200 or so LY range would be ample to make a significant difference. And if it's going to be less than 200 LY then might as well not bother.
Each fragment should now give you three actual pieces. It's still only shown as one on the contacts list but your inventory should increase by three for each one.
