Desperately seeking beyond Barnard's

Who's out beyond Barnard's?

Kinda hoping they're on here - I'm watching someone on EDDiscovery hitting a feature that I'm heading to right now and it looks like one player, someone to compare notes with would be good

I'm currently at the edge of the galaxy roughly beyond Bernards loop. But I don't use EDDiscovery and just look around trying to get as close to the edge as possible.

Sounds like an interesting venture - how far out have you gotten? I'm curious whether the wide-zoom map is that true close up, there are some clouds in that outer arm's tail for sure

EDD is a blessing and curse. Watching a spot appear just where you were headed is a bit sad sometimes, but hey they might not have been thorough!

I try to avoid nebula and similar "tourist hotspots" as these locations are visited by almost everybody.
Currently I'm just 8.5 kly away from sol, bernards loop is about 7 kly behind me. Sadly most systems are now beyond the jump range of my DBX (not optimized for jump range).
The galaxy map is more or less accurate. The brighter parts of the spiral arms are the core zones, there are enough systems in the darker areas that are reachable without problems.

There are so many systems, no need to worry if somebody discovered a system in a region where you are planing to go too (unless it's a nebula in short range of sol - in that case everything is probably discovered).

Aye it's surprised me how much is still there 'in the dark' is all - it'll be amazing to see just how big it eventually is. Do you map at all? Would be cool to see where you manage to get to

Yup! It won't stop me :) Seeing things for yourself can be enough reward, not everyone shares their answers after all - I'd have to laugh if someone in solo who's never been on the forums solves one of these massive mysteries and never tells

I keep a very basic log of the more interesting discoveries - like earth-like or ammonia worlds. On longer expeditions I usually write down target systems in 1000 ly distance to plan my route.
If I remember I will post the farthest out system I managed to reach after I managed to come home.
I hope that at some point we will be able to filter the galaxy map to show only systems visited.
