First to understand my descriptions, think of looking down on the galaxy from above. Now with the civilized space being at the bottom of the map I will call that south. The galaxy core is then due north.
I am on my 3rd exploration trip. My first trip I used an Adder and went East along the arm that civilized space is in. I went out about 2500ly overall distance from Maridal my home port. My second trip I upgraded to an Asp and went North East about 1000 to 1500 ly then crossed due north over the "empty" area into the next arm. I went about 6500 ly out from Maridal and then returned back.
Ok, This time I also went, I think a bit more east before I tried to cross the "empty" space between the arms. Well I am having to sidetrack because I cannot continue to cross into the northern arm as I cannot find a path since any northerly direction I head the gap between the stars exceeds my 34.29 jump range. The stars are there, they are just too far apart. I have tried going up and down but still cannot find a way. Last night I traveled a couple hundred ly east, all the time trying to find a path north. Its not like I am really far away. I am about 5300 ly from Maridal in the same arm it is in.
The odd thing in my 2nd trip is I just crossed the "empty" without even thinking about out it.:S
It does look like on the galaxy map if I go a bit more west there is denser area in the "empty" space between arms. Anyone else run into this? So anyhow, just like crossing the street, look both ways before crossing over to the next arm. lol
