IO to BP

I'm all good, I was able to save here and there, but since I'll camp there for a while, I might do some prospecting on a 'why not?' principle.

The last couple of steps were a bit different than what you've sent:

35 Ceeckia QJ-P c22-0 31.78

36 Ceeckia UP-N c23-0 25.79

37 Ceeckia XM-H d11-0 27.92

38 Ceeckia WK-N c23-0 20.4

39 Ceeckia WM-H d11-1 33.4

40 Ceeckia ZQ-L c24-0 27.16

I'll check that - At least you have got there without too much of a problem; I'm still in the area ; what times are on usually on , we'
ll have to have a meet-Up.

Edit: checked I seemed to have two Ceeckia QJ-P c22-0 in my list.

Yes, there was a duplication and then the distances didn't add up. In one case I found an alternate jump that had a shorter connection.

Tomorrow afternoon or evening looks relatively calm! I'm in GMT+1, will drop you a PM if I begin a longer session. I will remain at BP, so it should be easy to meet.

I'm only at Ceeckia TP-N c23-0 - but there's Polonium here! I want to have a quick look around the rest of the system as it has quite a few planets that you can land on. But it's only 2 jumps from BP (although one is over 41ly) so won't take me long to get back to BP.

Again, sorry for abruptly leaving! It's a pity we couldn't do a desert rally.

Let us repeat, perhaps there will be more arriving ahead of schedule, and can make bigger meetings!

Similar sized ships, these are... it was weird to see your SRV with an empty driver's seat!

I'll be posting a video of my entire trip made up of all the screenshots. At 20 fps it lasts amount 3.5 minutes.

It's just taking ages to load up.

Edit: Far too flashy - made the wife feel sick - so not posting it.

Well set off back home on the 9th - proposed route straight down through the Abyss (the route I chickened out of on the way to BP) and then bear left and take a clockwise arc towards the rim and around back to Sol.

Progress so far - Crossed the Abyss along the zero meridian - used a little bit of Basic and Normal jumponium and few half tank jumps. (I can post the route if anyone interested).

Turned left and slowly heading out to the eastern rim.

Sounds like you're way ahead of me already...I'm heading in the same general direction but have only gone about 1200ly from BP thus far.

The Abyss was frustrating - like doing a mind bending puzzle and I just had to get through it - I found the return to explorer mode quite refreshing after being at or around BP since the 20th Feb. ( It did help having the prospectors Discord chat in my ear as well, they do sometimes talk "nosense" but it was worth it to hear a Fuel Rats rescue "live" in the Abyss.)

I won't get much done during the week and I've decided to do a bit of stop and scan on the way back (determined to make Elite!!)

Yes, I often just listen in to discord...unless the conversation gets too esoteric in which case I have to switch over

I would often like to join in but that means I need to set up my extra computer to be able to talk (such is the case with my stupid mike which refuses to be heard on discord, but works perfectly well for Voice Attack)

And yes, I too have found it refreshing to get back into slow exploration mode...just meandering among the stars looking for shinies (which are few and far between out here it would seem).

I'll keep an eye out for you on my slow journey back to the bubble,

Route across the Abyss at or about zero meridian:

I apologise in advance - my patented way of collecting the jump distances has partially failed and I have a few missing Jump distances:

Wow, that's a doozy of a list! Well done in the crossing.

That pretty much confirms, that I'd need to prospect for mats a lot to make it in my ship. I am headed towards Roncevaux, I hope there will be no issues - though I still have plenty of basic jumponium, it would be a leap of faith to begin burning through them.

Iron Orchid · Apr 13, 2016

Anything with less than 30ly (full tanks) would burn through jump mats quick quickly. You could do it by prospecting as there are plenty of sources. But it would be probably quicker (and less risky) to do the do the detour to Roncevaux.

I'm convinced I used more jump mats than that list implies - I thought I used 4 j1 and one j2 - unless it's in the bits I haven't the jump distance for.

A little bit of me wants to go back and check - the rest of me just CBA.

Damn, It's annoying me so I'm going back to do it properly.....

(perhaps even on economic!)

Scanning every jump / trilaterating every system, prospecting a few planets certainly slows down you travel speed - 17 jumps today (209ly).

I'll be back in the bubble in 3315

Is that estimate an in-game date or a real life one?

I am doing something similar...consequently I have covered about 2000ly in the past 12 days. At this rate it is going to take me a very long time to get back to the bubble.

To be frank, I'm relieved after making it through the Roncevaux crossing. I can plot again 1000 lys and it won't take 100 jumps to make it.

Now I'm off to a random direction towards the core - at laaaast!

Cmdr Frawd Digger · Apr 17, 2016

I too am enjoying the freedom of just exploring again...no staying in one system for 7 days (that's how I felt the last time I was in the bubble)...not that BP wasn't a blast!!! I just enjoy being on the road again.
