Hello from a new explorer

Xebeth · Jul 20, 2015

Hi, just wanted to pop by and say hello. So I thought I would give this exploration lark a try (having only done a bit of sightseeing previously), so with no particular plan in mind I just headed up, well I made it to the top (or I made it as far up as my jump range would allow me to go) and on the way down again I came across this

Realise it's nothing special to seasoned explorers, but pretty pleased for my first proper exploration trip

So after getting back and claiming my 'Discovered By' tag, thought I would try down, seems that this is a somewhat well travelled route, so started wandering around a bit and it seems I'm now heading in the direction of Sag A*

. After a few moments of doubt as to whether I had the patience to make the trip, I'm now determined to see how far I can get.

Seems you may have another convert

Nice find so close to the bubble.

Good luck with your expedition Xebeth!

I love the way that you put your screenshots together. Hopefully you'll have lots more to share when you return.

Sag A* is a great place to have an expedition to, and the great thing is that when you get there you've no choice, but to plan your next journey immediately. Even if it's just how you're going to get home!

Great find! Wouldn't it be neat to see lights on the surface of such inhabitable planets? Non-human, non-spacefaring sentient species.

Have fun out here.

In the unlikely event that you get stranded, remember the fuel rats.

Nice find, I've seen only one earth like in 1480 scans.
I blame the co-pilot.

Technically in a binary orbit with a gas giant. Yes, I am a pedant but also an earth like moon to a gas giant is one of those holy grail type objects that most of us will never find and this isn't quite that.

Still pretty sweet though

Lol. I'm with Ian on this one CMDR! Congrats on the new find! Pretty quick and lucky yet, you will have to hold off on that Endor discovery! Trust us when we say we have looked very hard for those! Lol.

Right on CMDR and safe travels!

First ELW is also special to seasoned explorers

Good luck out there and happy honking!

Cdr Voorheez · Jul 22, 2015

Welcome Cdr. I am relatively new to this too so I'll keep you updated on what I find too. Currently on a long exped inbound initially to SagA then I'm going to see where I go after that. Good screenshots. Inspiring.
