First exploration

"tis true that your planned route will be there or may change a little depending on how the router calculates the distances based on your jump range. I assume that you are using scoopable systems only? I previously mentioned that M class stars are just stars with ice planets(most of the time), if you put it into your plotter along with the others you may save even more jumps as that class of star system is very common and usually closer together than the others. With some practice even the other non scoopables can be utilizaed but use extreme caution with them so as not to get into a dead end without enough fuel to get out.
 
Good evening Cmdrs

Rooster Flight Report

I am 1,804.37y away from Beagle Point

Total distance travelled is 67,044.47ly since leaving home.

After my disastrous crash & burn on Friday I re-bought my ship.
With a massive thank you to @K Olley I started my journey again from the crash site.

Before leaving that system I took his advice and sent a probe into the rings of a gas giant and......

WOW......that is stunning. I didn't know they looked like that when probed. So cool

So I parked up on a potato tonight

I absolutely adore exploring.

Glad to be of help.

There are rings that are better and there are a lot of rings that are a lot worse, from a miners point of view there is a good selection of Core hotspots and for the wandering carrier explorer plenty of Tritium.

I have already mined enough to more than top up my carrier plus a few more trinkets for when I get back to civilisation whenever that may be:)

Rooster Flight Report

I am 4,258.63ly away from Beagle Point
A jump of 2,400ly today traveling east towards Acheron
Total distance travelled is 69,444.47ly since leaving home.

My apologies for no reports this last 6 days but after the Odyssey launch and and the subsequent Xbox update, I have been unable to log on until today.

I've discovered a lot today and also had some fun in my SRV.
I visited a planet to get some arsenic for FSD booster. There were Water Magna Volcanos on the planet so I decided I would try and drive over one and boost jump at the same time. I ended up barreling upwards to a height of 1.9k. I thought I was stuck in orbit forever but after 15 seconds I hit the surface with a huge thud and a 59% decrease in Hull integrity.
Great fun though 😀

Foir those like Emmvee who were contracted by PontificusRex/ The Cartographers Guild... this is something that they are doing now.
 
I was wondering as well, Rooster's inara page has not updated credits wise so he has not docked at a station or carrier since mine and no visitors have been noted on my carrier so they must still be out there somewhere:)
 
Good evening Cmdrs.
All is good, I'm still on my journey but life is getting in the way and when I get chance it takes me ages to log on and then it doesn't last very long.
I'm going to try to get on tonight and make some progress.
 
Good afternoon Cmdrs
I'm afraid I have crashed and burnt again......duuurrrrr.
Same thing happened as last time time only this time I had an argument with gravity and list big time.
I'm very annoyed with myself.
My respawn point is aboard
@K Olley FC.
So I will be doing that later if that's ok
 
Drinking wine and flying is a bad combination :)
Gravity is a mean mistress and should always be taken seriously ;(
A third crash will cancel your insurance just in case you didn't know.... then you have to get your insurance from Progressive's High Risk Department.
Need I say anymore?

I best stop drinking and flying then 🤣
Good to know about the 3rd crash thing
 
Having to go through Progressive's High Risk Department myself...... My sage advice is .....DON"T ! That Department is one mean, ugly, uncaring Department run by Trolls and really Ugly Witches. :0
 
I am out mining and will soon be off to work, the carrier is located in Syneayoea LR-N d6-3 luckily for you it is in a slightly denser part of the abyss, where was you when this planet attacked you?
