Exploration strategies

[Cdr Voorheez]

What if the second account is also out there exploring like i have..?

I can't reply intelligently to that. I suppose you are a masochist? I personally am struggling with exploration after doing it exclusively for 2 yrs. My second account doesn't explore at all. I'd rather be a good pirate than explore EVER on my second account personally.

challenge accepted, I started another cube near Colonia, maybe I'll finish it!

That is generally how I do my exploring, from a small Sub Sector of 10 D mass stars, to one with 10,000, with trips to other shinies inbetween

The tricky part would be to make a useful comparison. Though, it would be nice to get handful reference systems done to confirm or debunk perceptions and ideas on how the galactic forge seeds things. I've been thinking on doing it for a handful O class regions. Only thinking on it, though...

Ermm.. no.
My alt is participating at the Colonia Challenge with a friend and they are traveling to Colonia with their stock Sidewinders, planning to stay at Colonia, indefinitely.
But because of RL stuff and the fact that our main accounts are more important, they have been traveling since January 3303 and currently located at Rohini, about 7000ly from Sol. [big grin]

Also, i dont do anything in Elite "exclusively", maybe thats why i dont have burnout, or i havent got fed up with exploring.

The Colonia Sidewinder challenge where you A-rate the FSD on a new sidey account and live out in Colonia? I've always thought that sounded really cool, hopefully you get there in the end

Yup, the very same.

I alternate exploring with coming back to the bubble to do engineering, CGs, do things with friends, or check out some of the latest "discoveries" (Thargoid facilities, INRA bases, whatever). But while I'm out in the black, I'll look for excuses to stay out there longer. What will get me to come rocketing back is if I want to make changes to my ship, or switch ships.
