I decided to go exploring on a whim. I had tried every activity in the game except mining and exploring and I decided to try this out. In my head I planned on going out for a session or two, but ended up just going out farther and farther. I just returned from a one month exploration out to Sagitarius A. I took my time getting there but the trek home I made in three days. I just jumped honked and jumped until I needed to scoop for fuel.
Here's my first Earth like world. It was really close to a nebula. I can't remember the name of it, but it was around here on the grid 1,000, -1,000, 12,000.
The scariest moment of my travels was when I came into a system with two suns less than 6 light seconds between each other and I landed smack in the middle. As soon as I landed I was already scooping at my max capacity and my heat quickly shot up to 90%. By the time I exited super cruise to use my heat sink launcher I was at 120% heat. I started sweating bullets because this was less than 10,000 light years form home on the tail end of my trip.
Here's a picture of the encounter.
The goal of the trip was "Saggy" what my friend and I started calling Sagittarius A. We had to stop for a quick photo shoot doing the top gun flight by the super giant black hole.
In all I walked away with 100,000,000 exploration credits. I just couldn't stand farming neutron stars it got too boring. I did about 1,000 and decided that was enough for me.
Are there any other cool places to visit in the galaxy? I want to go out and explore again, but I need a destination. Any suggestions?
