First exploration

BTW not sure if you know of this website. It lets you fiddle with different ship designs.

Good evening Cmdrs
No exploring tonight.
I've had my jab today, feeling a bit rough. I'm in sick bay with Bones

Best not to risk it, scooping for fuel then
Speedy recovery!

Good evening Cmdrs

Did a few jumps earlier now on my main trip.
Apparently I'm about to jump into a black hole ????

Amazing! Stand back! (though they don’t hurt you)

Phew.
So just jump as normal ?

 

[TiberiusDuval]

Phew.
So just jump as normal ?

Yes, entirely safe.

Yes. They’re quite disorienting when you arrive but keep the gas low, you’ll be fine.

Black holes are surprisingly the most friendly objects in the galaxy... You can get really close to them (I don't remember how close, but it will surprise you how close you will get to them without any negative effect).

Before you enter the system throttle down, so that you do not overshoot the black hole. You will be really very close to her when you leave the witch space...

Try shooting some DSS probes at her...

Also, position your ship in a way, that you will have the Galaxy behind the black hole and observe the lensing effect...

Don't forget to post some pictures...

EDIT: do not forget to target the black hole, since they are virtually invisible, you could lose her or bump into her...

Spoiler: where is he?

 

[Emmvee]

That was amazing.
Very wierd that there was a fleet carrier in the system.
I've just got to resize the pics coz they come off Xbox as a huge filesize

 

[Emmvee]

My first ever sight of a black hole

Getting a bit close

A view from afar

 

[Emmvee]

Just looked at the system map and there are 2 in this system

I am 11,403.79ly from start point
Nearly 3000ly Jump today.
Probably the best night of the journey so far
2 Black Holes in 1 system. Absolutely loved it.

Good afternoon Cmdrs
After a day off yesterday I'm on my travels again.
Done 750ly and I've come to The Norma Expanse, any advice ?

Hello.

I’m sure I’ve been through it but I cant say I remember it that well. You should be fine.

Think 3D.

 

[CMDR SleepyDelegate]

Think 3D.

Exactly... One of the greatest challenges I had was to get over 3000ly above the Galaxy plane... I mean safely above, returning back as well... If I remember correctly, part of the challenge was to find undiscovered system over 3000ly above the GP...
