I get those to, and the finished scanning....just kidding... scan it again.
It looks best 42k ly from the core! A bright line, whole galaxy in view.
I like the bottom too, got 2800 ly under Sagittarius A. But I imagine that's the same view as from above.
Yup - it paid off! There was a third one, too, but it turned turned out to be a water world - terra-formable, though, so still pays the big bikkies, but always nice to see "earth-like" appear on the hud.

...we got to name the systems that we discover? I mean, some of these names are just downright boring.
The systems - whilst it would be cool, probably best not to, as it makes it possible to find stars via Google/science journals/Science class in high school etc. Would be cool if we could name planets, though...
I just think there would be too much effort needed to ensure no one names anything too stupidly...

I get what you say about using standard names to aid location but I reckon the devs could have allowed for a standard designation plus discoverers chosen name model. After all, I can't see too many folks looking up SYNUEFE AQ-N C23-37 just for a laugh
You KNOW I will have to look that up now, don't you?
Actually, I did see an article the other day, about a carbon star with steam around it, I noted that down to go check it out once I get to the core.
The image is linked here
Though, if it was just a standardised name based on the explorer - EG all systems I discover are named Bare-xxxxx (where the X represents the sequential number of the discovery), that would be cool - and only a single approval for all names given to my discoveries. The only issue is, we end up with a similar naming system, where it's just username-number, so we still wouldn't get truly interesting and unique names.
Oh, and I'm not personally concerned about "immersion breakers" for names. Truly creative and funny names would be cool, but I fear it woul dbe too much work for the devs to check each and every one...
Also, double-ups may be an issue. I'm sure there would be a few Earth-likes named "Caprica", for example...

Hehe, It's not the most interesting of systems believe me, I just picked it at random as an example
CMDR Gelbrock.... enjoying exploring right now. Heading out once TSU event has finished.
I used to be able to dock flying at half speed, with one hand, whilst changing a nappy, talking on the phone and drinking a beer.... after I come back from exploring its a very different story....

commander big_bad_lynx - currently coming back from second trip to Sagittarius a*. Later I'm going to make a post how to make long travels without getting slightly mad

Is that really possible. No madness....
I don't know. Is it safe?
You know that sanity stuff...
Hehehe
I think when you start seeing a white dot moving across your monitor when manouvering - that's a good sign - means you still can see the stuff and other things....Is that really possible. No madness....

This list is a great idea, and I have added quite a few people, though I'm sure I have missed some. Anyone who is just joining the game, or just spotted this thread, is welcome to go through and add people. It's easy to do from the Main Menu.
CMDR Freddie MC has helpfully added a list in the first post of this thread that covers the first half. For the rest, just skim through and start adding.
If you are an explorer, whether in the far reaches of the galaxy or just starting out with small trips outside the bubble, by all means add people. It is very cool to see where other explorers are on the galaxy map, and they are an excellent source of info if you run into something odd.
