Yup, just realised when I started looking back at my logs. Don't drink and fly, folks.

Respectfully disagree. It's the only way to fly.
Does the mega ship's have cartographics available on them?
Not in this version, it will take you to the nearest station, which probably means Colonia.
You can always beam yourself back to the bubble and into the stock-sidewinder after self-destructing. If you are willing to give up your ship and all the nice engineered modules and the exploration-data. No option for me personally, but people have been doing that.
Ship destruction only takes you to the nearest station if there's one you can dock at in the current system. Otherwise, it takes you to your last docked station.
(Assuming here there's no bounties involved)
Admittedly, for anyone self-destructing at Beagle after DW2, the chances are those cases will both be Explorers' Anchorage - but if you then try to speed up the journey from Anchorage to Colonia by self-destructing again just over half-way there, you'll be very disappointed...
HE HE HE, after two spectacular canyon destructions of my exploration ship I adopted another opinion. I carry SLFs just in case I try to reconsider. I am reminded of the validity of the opinion time and time again, but with SLFs I'm prepared to test the opinion more than once.
When is the Distant Worlds megaship getting added to the game?
From the CG text.
I assumed it was just the Grim Pioneer
Its not in game yet, neither is the Science Relay. We were told they wouldn't be added 'for some time' and were given no more info as to when and where they'd appear.
Grim Pioneer wasn't part of the CG proposal I sent them. I think that one was added as a response to no interstellar factors being available prior to the 2nd CG.
The only info we have is that the megaship we gained via the CG will be a Science Class ship named the DSSV Distant Worlds.

Ooooh, nice route, too. I visited at least one of those on the trip.
I'd go back to Beagle Point just to sneak into Sol without a permit!
Once per five years.
Given how megaships such as the Gnosis jump around 500ly and can do so generally up to once per week?
It would be waiting at beagle point to pick people up once every five years.
It would be an excellent way to troll explorers if they did add one in. Have the ship turn up and BP, flight plan says next jump goes to Sol .... and then people realise it's not dockable
I'm not sure if Frontier like the idea of players taking shortcuts across the galaxy. But with it being undockable it may actually be something they'll allow accompany the DW3 fleet next time (if there is a DW3). The original idea for DW2 was to have one acting as the fleet flagship, but it wasn't possible at the time. The asset is in game now so things may be different on that front.
DW3 will try and incorporate new ideas and content, and may well be a Fleet Carrier based expedition. It would be cool to see the DSSV Distant Worlds come along with us too and visit some of the spectacular sites out there.
