I've been feeling a bit of loneliness lately which was aggravated by the fact that despite me happening upon an apparently very well traveled part of the Milky Way, I still did not meet anybody. Well, one galaxy is too big I guess. In any case, to ease the 'agony' (so to speak) I decided to try the new multi-crew feature.
Well, it has been a pleasure. I met very nice people on the Milky Way sightseeing tours. Took a lovely screenshot of a Type-9 Heavy far above the Galactic plane. Chatted with them, discussed each others travels. And one of themtalked me intoconvinced me to post this picture here.

So I've been traveling through the fourth quadrant. Did my usually thing, looked at colourful planets, flew through some winding canyons. And while I haven't actually planned to do so, I ended up on the far side of the Galaxy. Given that I was here already, I decided to do a little mini-game and have a look how far away I can get from Merlin (i.e. Ross 154).
Now, I am under no illusion that this is something rarely attempted -- the sudden over-abundance of 'First discovered' labels immediately dispels such notion. And that would be even without me knowing fully well that something like this will be done by dozens of players around one week after a game's release. Neither do I believe to have reached an extraordinary distance. My jump range is rather on the low side and I have spotted a few systems which I'd go for otherwise. But for me, this is the best I could do. And somebody thought it rare enough to get me to show it here.
I don't usually do forums -- quite perplexed that I already had an account and still don't know why -- but I'll follow here for a while for any feedback.
