In one of my threads, I've described my journey to Coalsack Nebula - a thing that is relatively close to Sol, yet no one has gone there. Maybe because it's not one of those colorful, shiny nebulas, on the contrary - it's name says it all :) I don't know, but if you look around and check forums, I'm sure you'll find places, even so obvious as the Coalsack Nebula, where no one has gone yet.

What makes you think no-one had been to Coalsack? Lots of people go there - the guy who went to the opposite side of the galaxy went via Coalsack a long time ago. You don't see many screenshots of it, but it's a common destination from what I've seen when explorers get chatting!

That is the only logical conclusion I can make seeing no threads about it on the forums.
You know what explorers are like - they like to brag about being somewhere first, so a lack of someone saying he was to Sagittarius A* makes assumption no one was there pretty valid.
Now, if it is true or not is an entirely different matter as there are limited number of information sources you can confirm your assumptions on.

That said, I see I could've written "(...) yet no one seems to have gone there".

Sorry, didn't work - give me the terms and I'll try myself :)

This guy had it as his first stop 5 weeks ago according to this thread:

And this guy: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=81756 (yeah, me) has been there on December 20, 2014.
At the time of me posting some pictures from the journey (I'll have to re-upload as something happened to the pictures - side note), there were no other threads stating anyone ventured there.

So, I see I need to highlight one thing as I've unintentionally made an impression still no one has discovered Coalsack :)
What I meant was that at the time I ventured there, there were no threads stating anyone has been there. It was back in December, it is obvious far more people has been there since then.
At the time of me getting there, I seemed to be the first one to brag about it and I used that location as an example of nearby stellar objects that somehow didn't seem to have been visited at the time of me deciding to go there, while object's like Pleiades, California Nebula or Barnard's Loop have been visited even sooner, sometime at the beginning of December (not to mention the first guy to get to Sagittarius!)
That's all I meant :)

While normally the weight of the power plant goes up as you go up through the classes, the A5 PP weighs 20T (as opposed to 32 for the B5), and gives you over 20MW power to play with. The A5 FSD is also the same weight, and does increase the range by about 5LY over the B5. 5.1Mcr each for the FSD and the PP.

Actually, normally A, C, and E all weigh the same, D is a lightweight varient, and B is usually extra-heavy.

This is why explorers usually fit D varients unless they're getting a better benefit from an even lower numerical class.
