Finally completed my Zunou sub-sector scan

After just over 14000 jumps totally about 83000LY, I've finally completed scanning Zunou JY-Z d13.
I arrived on 12th July 2018 @ 13:44 and jumped out today.
EDDiscovery says I've spent about 178 days in-game time scanning.

Final tally:-
Systems visited = 13744
ELW = 231
WW = 2757 (of which 1316 are TFC)
AW = 344

I also found about Water Giants and some biologicals ...

I'm now at Explorer's Anchorage selling my data ... I'll update this post when I've finished.

I'll also share my Google Sheets document if anyone's interested in the raw data.

----- UPDATE -----

Okay after sitting through 307 screens selling my data, my bank balance went from this ...

Holy guacamole, you have scanned a whole sector? Well, good you've posted which one so we know there's nothing for taking there :) That is an impressive dedication.

Unimaginable... You've visited more systems and travelled more light years within a single sector than what I've managed to do with an entire galactic circumnavigation and two more, shorter exploration trips.

Holy crap...

Congratulations to finishing this impressive task.

That must have been a smaller galaxy then. Because circumnavigating E:D's galaxy will be around 200k ly … so more than double than the ca. 83kk ly mpfj traveld.

I certainly can do ... do you have to eye-ball it as you sell, or can you extract the data from the journal ?

Unfortunately the payouts are only logged per system (or even per page, can't remember). So yes, it's a manual thing. I've done both the screenshot-and-OCR as well as the write down by hand. Overall I prefer the prior, as if you get outliers you can check the source, i.e. screenshots, to for mistakes. Is it worth the effort? Only you can decide... this amount of data would be valuable and more current contribution to https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/exploration-value-formulae.232000/

Ah, I misread that as "830.000" instead of "83.000". My bad! :) It makes sense though, at roughly 14k systems. You wouldn't jump my average of 40+Ly when surveying a sector star by star..

I should read more carefully. ;)

Congratulations on the persistence. Bound to be some good data there.

What is Zunou JY-Z d13?
Click to expand...

It's a cube of procedurally-generated stars. Selected by the OP more or less at random.

"Zunou" is a galactic sector, in the Inner Core, 1024 LYs long, high and wide. If you've ever travelled between Sag A and Colonia on a straight line, you'd have passed through Zunou. It probably contains about 10 to 20 billion stars, in total - a significant fraction of the total number of stars in the galaxy. "JY-Z d13" is a small subsector within Zunou sector, only 64 LYs long, high and wide. Stars listed with the "JY-Z d13" ID tag are all D-mass-code star systems, mostly with F class primary stars - these are the stars with the highest probability of finding Earth-likes, which is why ELW-hunters like to target them.

OP's modus operandi would most likely have been to fly out to the Zunou JY-Z d13 subsector and visit the star system Zunou JY-Z d13-0. Then visit the "next" system, Zunou JY-Z d13-1. Then visit the system Zunou JY-Z d13-2. Then keep going until you eventually run out of numbers (which is, apparently, Zunou JY-Z d13-13743). Since they're all within the same 64 LY cube, it's likely they're all within one or two jumps of each other for a typical exploration ship's jump range, so there's very little time wasted visiting "intermediary" systems.

I don't even do 'em numerically any more. Using mpfj's sector lister, just send all the systems you DON'T want to visit (all the parent cubes and children cubes) and send that to import systems in the game...then poof all you have is an 80 x 80 x 80 cube of the D systems...i just go back and forth on eco-mode...and as you visit a system, it too disappears if you have visited systems filter on...

That's quite a lot. Congrats on finishing! And now, you have enough money for a fleet carrier :D
Also, sure, since you offered, I wouldn't mind a look at your data sheet.

@ GrandAdmiralThrawn: No, you didn't misread it, he wrote "14000 jumps totally about 83000LY". Bear in mind that all of those were inside a 64 ly cube, so an average jump distance of nearly 6 ly makes perfect sense.

@ Sapyx: yeah, generally you want to avoid manually inputting to the galaxy map, it's faster that way. A while ago, mpfj shared a script to generate all alphabetic permutations of a given subsector except the stars you actually want to visit, then to just feed it to VisitedStars and use the route plotter filter.
Not only is it faster this way (or on larger surveys, just using economical routes from one point of a larger cube to an opposing one) than manually inputting all the numbers, but also uses less jumps, and most importantly, it feels better. Less interruptions. For example, that's also why I prefer using the in-game plotter for chaining NS jumps: no need to go back and forth the galaxy map. (Plus I often fly routes where there aren't enough NSes uploaded to EDSM for Spansh to still work better.)

Per sale, so if you sell pages you get page values and if you sell single systems you get single system values only.

If we could sell single bodies.... I'd put up with the tedium just to get the data easily into a machine readable format.
