o7 CMDR's.
Back out in the black for the 5th time now, thought I would head outwards from SOL. Currently only about 5kly's out.
I had Thor's Helmet and the Seagull Nebulae as planned sights. From Thor's Helmet, I ventured downwards and am now between the Perseus and Outer arms at the bottom of the Galactic plane. I will be shortly heading out along the bottom of the Outer arm to see how far I can go.
Now this is exploring. 95% of jumps require a boost of some sort. My Asp has a jump range of 45ly on half a fuel tank or less. This allows me to jump 90ly (or a little more with less fuel on board) with a premium boost. I'm finding quite a few White Dwarf's and Neutron Stars. Loving the Neutron boost of 180ly's.
Every system I'm jumping into, I'm scanning the landable bodies for volcanic activity and materials. I have plenty on board giving me 22 premium, 28 medium and 45 standard FSD boosts, but I'll still hunt for more. Better safe than sorry!
Before jumping into a system (more so when jumping from a Neutron) I'm checking I can safely jump back out if necessary.
It's very slow going, but that's what exploration is about.
I've put together a video of some of the sights I've seen, hope you enjoy.
