Circumnavigation of Galaxy
- Thread starter D8ncer
- Start date
Im attempting it at the minute. My plan is:
-Start Sol (abe lincoln)
-Head 'east' of sol on the northern perpinducular (keeping andromeda below me as a 'compass' point of reference).
-Attempt an anti clockwise exploration of the disk
-At some point on 'return' head inwards to Sag A*
-Return. Probably bearded and mad
Not sure if possible but im giving it a go. Im recording my progress in 'The log of Kontiki VI' thread.

There are some others in progress but his is the only one I know of for sure who has completed it.

It's quite a challenge. Good luck if you're going to attempt it.
Its a challenge I am just realising the enormity of. But one which I am going to stick at providing my ship lasts the trip. http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=70W,,2-4s6u6Q3m2C3m6k,08c08c4-42jw7Q40nE2UI

I'd stick at least 1 repair unit in there instead of a cargo rack. You could also downgrade to a 2A powerplant with no loss in function for a bit extra jump range..
Good luck
Good luck out there...maybe I'll run into you in the deep black now that my DBX is set up for exploration (currently heading on a random course, just jumping into any seemingly unexplored system I see...I have no real goal, just want to go out & fully scan as many systems as possible, and see what I can find, although my early trip has been kinda lame with a few multi star systems that have no planets. Stopped for the night yesterday over my first water world though, in a system with 51 unscanned objects).
Yeah ty for advice on jump range. Might have to backtrack and do that..

how far is it?
Im probably going to do that, I need a better jump range badly.I'd stick at least 1 repair unit in there instead of a cargo rack. You could also downgrade to a 2A powerplant with no loss in function for a bit extra jump range..
Good luck

Im actually considering going DBE with the following layout when I return to sol http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=70i,mpV0Wg,2-6Q6u7_5K2C5K8I,7Re0722UI2jw0Iw any ideas on improvements?
If you plan to go right around the galaxy and not go insane I'd say you probably want an ASP to be honest.
For the DBE i'd say:
Are you using Cargo rack to regulate jump range? If not then I'd remove it. Lower Powerplant to 2A, the different size does nothing for heat and just adds to your ship mass if it is bigger than needed.
B grade field maintenance units carry more ammo but repair slower. Since they are weightless and time isn't an issue exploring I'd lower that too.
If you fancy risking it removing the shield gives you a boost too, no real enemies except other explorers once your further than 500Ly from human space. Maybe swap it for a docking computer to avoid mishaps when you get back.
