Yesterday I set out on an open-ended exploration journey in my ~26.5 ly range Clipper. I plan to circumnavigate the galaxy at its edge, only coming back in towards the center if I cannot bridge the spiral arms. It will probably take a longer time than I've been a commander (which I have for about 10 weeks). I may also visit the core during this trip, or I may not, still undecided there. I expect balancing on the brink of insanity, hallucinations of my loved ones at first, and of any human beings at all later, seeing Thargoid shapes in asteroid fields, battling my inner self against jumping into a black hole for the hope of it taking me home, cracking my canopy by violently jumping out of supercruise and continuing the tens of thousands of light years long journey in extreme paranoia about breaking the glass only to forget about my fuel tank being a mere 16T and living out the rest of my days stranded in an orbit around a boring icy moon, dreaming of home.
Currently doing the tourist route to Barnard's Loop, from there I will shift plane and continue down the Perseus arm for as far as it goes, then perhaps backtrack if I cannot cross it near the end...
The only exploring I've done before this was in a 17 ly Vulture, a short ~700 ly hop out of inhabited space for two days.
Has anyone else done the le tour around le galaxy?
Barnard's Loop in the background of an orange giant.
System next to the Witch Head nebula.
Upped the gamma on this one a bit...
