I found my first unexplored system

I travelled around 1000Ly downwards until I there were no stars left in my jump range and I finally found an unexplored system:

The feeling I had while scanning every rock and every moon in that system was incredible, as if I was actually at home and over a thousand lightyears away from civilised space.

Also, the "sky" really looks interesting if you watch the galaxy from downwards, especially those "dust clouds" looks nice:

Even if I find more unexplored systems, Blanco 1 Sector LW-T B4-0 (or Zenny's Star) will always take a special place in my heart, a second home away from home.

Keep scratching that itch CMDR.

I don't know what my first unexplored system was. I don't even have my first Earthlike world. So already I envy you :)

I kind of feel like that about my first (and only so far) Earth Like. You will find lots of unexplored systems yet. If you head out in almost any direction except in a straight line towards the tourist attractions out there, discovered systems will be rare and will eventually come as a surprise when you find one. Sometimes I study the galaxy map and make a few jumps to see if I can figure out where the explorer in question was heading (just for the fun of it).

Straight down from the bubble is quite well explored. I think in many directions you'll find untagged systems under 500 ly out - but those on the axis or towards obvious features (e.g. nebulae) its much further. The Barnards Loop route seems to have been particularly heavily covered.

My first trip lasted until I found 2 undiscovered systems, the I hi-tailed it back to civilisation to sell the data, and get my name on them. 600LY each way. I have them written down on some piece of paper on my desk....

Hahaha not just me then - although sometimes pretty easy when you hit a couple in a row and zoom out a bit to see a black hole in the distance.. I then jump to it just to see. It's a fun game, Sherlock Holmes in space.


I may be turning into a stalker, a star stalker - damn, I should've picked that name

It's weird, last trip I did had 1,100 scans, and I found about 10 undiscovered ELWs

Then I can go another 1,000 scans without even seeing one

Lord, got really lucky with that - third trip out and found one within 300ly of the bubble in a system that had almost entirely been scanned already. Still miss that feeling. For the current trip, did a straight run out 'south' and came back around through the loop. Within 1000ly again and still havn't found anything someone else didn't get to first yet.

I'm in a region right now where every system I jump into is unexplored/undiscovered. When heading out in to the deep black, think up and down instead of just straight out and 2 dimensional. Like that scene/line from Wrath of Khan. So many unexplored systems.

Don't go straight along a cardinal point. Do change the angle (e.g. go up or down a few 100 lys). There are completely untagged systems within 500 ly of Sol. If you want FDs then do not head towards Barnards Loop by an obvious route.

The fact is the galaxy is huge, and once you get 1000 ly from Sol (from what I've except for around Barnards Loop) very little is tagged except around nebulae.

You will probably do the same 'run for home' when you get your first ELW or Waterworld... keep going Commander the feeling never ebbs, it's great.

Well done. The first one is the best one. :D

Here is a tip when you are heading towards a Nebula. As you move away from your arrival star. The Nebula's colours get more vivid. Sometimes you have to travel over a 1000 Ls from bright stars to get the best effect.

BTW I am heading out to the Lagoon Nebula atm. There are lots of undiscovered stars with no one's name on them and the view is getting better.

Was always just out there for the fun anyway. That and to test how far out I could get a Cobra safely. Saving the proper expedition for next time when I have enough creds to fully outfit the ship. Down and out, then around is the plan.
