Circumnavigation of the Galaxy list

I'm currently doing my own circumnavigation of the Galaxy.
My ship is a heavily engineered Imperial Courier that now gets just over 30 light years on a full tank.
I've not used EDdiscovery but I do use the Elite Dangerous Star Map. Hope that's acceptable.

I would have thought it should take you about a week and a half!

I've estimated that to Buckyball a circumnavigation in, say, a 60ly modded Anaconda would take somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 hours. This can vary widely depending on how much backtracking up the arms is needed. While I've done marathon sessions in the past, 120 hours straight is just a bit out of my endurance range. ;P Also, keep in mind that such a run would not allow for any scanning beyond the typical honk in a system.

This run I'm traveling more like I do on the way back from Beagle, rather than going toward it. Basically, it's the "Oooh, shiny!" method of exploration. Normally, it'll be a honk-and-scoop, with a few seconds extra taken to see what's in the system. I'll usually stop for ELWs, WWs, AWs, and if the body is either close enough or interesting enough to scan. (A few nights ago, I found myself saying, "But it's a pretty HMCW!")

Now, I have imagined another possibility for such a run - a possible proposal for charity. You'd either need three gaming/scifi conventions going on in the same weekend on different continents, or three places on those continents that have bulletproof-reliable internet. Take an Anaconda. Anaconda can have a crew of up to three. Take three locations around the world - Australia, the UK, and the US would work - and hopefully those locations themselves have small teams available. Basically, race an Anaconda nonstop around the galaxy. When it's time for the Australians to go to bed, the British take over; when the British go to bed, the Americans take over. A fun idea in theory, but scary to contemplate in practice.

This is a great idea and very much needed.

I do not know if I qualify though. Partly because I haven't recorded my discoveries anywhere and partly because I chopped off a bit of an arm as I didn't start out to circumnavigate. It is nowhere near as complete as the other two you have on here.

However, CHIGGY awarded me a lovely badge for my efforts and I posted a thread of pictures here one of which proves I was near Beagle Point at least. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-Doopy´s-galactic-circumnavigation-Or-is-it!!

No engineers and no jumponium. The approximate route I took was

Hi, Cmdr,

Thanks for your reply.
I would consider this acceptable but please supply as much information as you can.
You should be able to track down some of your first discoveries and meet at least some of the laid out criteria.

Hi Cmdr,

This will be acceptable when complete.
Good luck and fly safe.

Been round the outside, back and forth to beagle, not sure if I can ever muster the will to head out that way again :)

Without trying to derail the thread or entice you into doing something even madder than things you have already done. Nobody said those 120 hours needed to be done without breaks :)

Love your charity idea!

Not a continuous journey for me, but I did try to link everything together even going over the same ground twice.
Different arms were completed between patches so jump range varied quite a bit from the vanilla ship on the return from DWE to the engineered one used at the end.

OK :)

I have found a document I had that was a daily summary of my travels :) I matched this up with photo's and found them on the galaxy map. This left me feeling rather nostalgic so I hope you don't mind if I post pictures from the four corners of the galaxy. I found the last entry in my log interesting so I post that here too as a warning to others wishing to attempt a circumnavigation.

First is south, showing a rather unintersting water world.

The next is a beautiful ringed ELW along the Perseus arm

Next is an ELW 1800LY or so from Beagle point. One of only three completely untagged systems I found this close to BP.

Next, coming town the western side we have a lovely ringed AW.

Lastly we return south.

As mentioned, others have more complete circumnavigations but I would like to post the last entry from my log as a warning to others.

The Rest
79 WW
9AW
14ELW
0 LY From Sol
11045 Jumps (1978)
318136 jump distance (58102)

Got fed up and played CQC instead. Sheer bloodly mindedness made me do 1000ly a day and then honksplore the last 10000LY

Thanks very much!

Just for completeness, journey was completed with a 32.9LY AspX. No jumponium used nor Neutron boosting. The journey was 260kly's which is disturbingly fewer than some of the others on here.

Thanks for the info and don't worry about the 260k ly's --- it is what it is, personally I am easily distracted and found several Neutron fields that I just had to explore fully and that added weeks to the time taken.

Mmm, so separating my trips into just the one loop is quite the task as I was doubling back occasionally so have no clue as to total distance just for the circumnavigation.
I can though say that after leaving Beagle point post DWE it was 10 months before returning and closing the loop.
My Edsm profile for Cmdr 3.14285 started logging for DWE and was just a bubble account not a dedicated Expo one like now, so apart from getting to Beagle is accurate for overall distance traveled in that time frame.
Not a lot of extra info then sorry apart from...

310 ish Days.
Jump range 35 Ly - 60 Ly
