I was just looking at the expeditions list on EDSM and saw that you only need 9 fellow commanders' interests to register an official expedition and get it tracked so, here is an expedition I have been planning for quite some time (and actually already attempted, but died on about half way around).
The idea is simple: This is a circumnavigation with the intent to reach the furthest systems "north east south & west" based on their co-ordinates, as if you were imagining a compass on the galmap. plus a jaunt through the core & colonia for anyone who may need repairs / restock or even wish to abandon about half way through.
This will be a truly epic trip I expect the route to measure at a guess 400,000ly possibly more and the timescale would be around a year long, it can certainly be completed in less I did about 2/5ths of the route in 6 weeks on a previous attempt, but that was pretty intense playing. In the outer edges of the galaxy stars can become pretty few and far between, I would recommend a ship with a minimum of 65ly jump range with Premium FSD boosts in the bank and ideally an SRV in case you need to top up those boosts.
If you are not elite in exploration before this trip, you certainly will be when you return, and likely a multi-billionaire too.
The main waypoints will be:
- HIP 21991
- LYED YJ-I D9-0
- OOD FLEAU ZJ-I D9-0
- OEVASY SG-Y D0
- SAGGITARIUS A
- COLONIA
- SPHIESI HX-L D7-0
- HIP 21991
In that order, I've selected the waypoints simply by spending a good amount of time in the Galmap looking for systems with the most extreme co-ordinates so please let me know if you think you know of systems further out. If people are keen for this expedition and it gains a following I will add additional waypoints that are Points of interest along the way, some well known, some not, but all intriguing for sure... you will see just about everything the Galaxy has to offer if you complete this trip. The starting / finishing system is pretty arbitrarily chosen, it was my home system for the first few months of the game so just for old times sake but may change.
Please comment if interested I'll be looking to depart around the beginning of summer, no exact date in mind yet though. May consider delaying if commanders that are interested are currently on distant worlds 2.
