Once upon a time, when Elite left Beta-stadium in December of last year you got your starter-kit including a sidewinder; and next to it, there was an Eagle as a gift for the beta-backers.
Back then I jumpded into my Eagle (aka phonebooth), earned the required money to buy the necessary scanners by doing some scanning-tours in the nerby systems and after having achived that, - on January 5th 3301 - I set course to go for Sagittarius A*.
My Eagle has a jump-range of 18.17Ly(18.65Ly) and a fuel-capacity of approx. 40Ly., which means I have to refuel at least on every second system.
I started with 610.000Cr left in my pocket and my explorer-rank was Pathfinder 29%. I explored on weekends and days off.
Today, October 30th 3301 I returned home without ever having traded goods, mined, assassinated, killed, smuggled or bountyhunted, only explored and after having sold my cartographic data the statics now say:
Systems visited 3,840, profits from exploration 123mioCr, Level2 detailed scans 12,474, Level3 detailed scans 9,855.
Explorer rank: Pioneer 69%
I have a detailed logg with the name of every system, its number of suns, the category of the main sun, the number of planets per sun, and the number of amonium giants, water giants, amonium worlds, water worlds, and earthlike worlds in every systems.
When Elite started, there where people interested in such data, but I´m not sure if this is still true.
Just let me know.
