Hi guys/girls of the wonderful ED Community!!
@
I'm here to announce the biggest challenge in the ED community since the announcement of the Triple Elite Prizes...
I'm going (actually i already started a couple of days ago) to make a circumnavigation of the Whole Milky way Galaxy!
I started the trip in the Faust 68 System from the Shoenherr Space Station, but i forgot to make that in Open Play from
the very first jump so i began to do that after 3 or 4 jumps i think...
@
First big target was one of the biggest stars around... Betelgeuse!

... Then it was time for the other star of the Orion Constellation, Rigel

Going further away from the core systems i then headed towards the Spirograph Nebula, and managed to get to it's central star...

Next target of interest was the NGC 1999 Nebula and it's central star, V380 Orionis

the big star Ez Orionis

and i decided to take a closer look to the Barnard's Loop Nebula!

@
Then the curiosity that is inside of every explorer of any age in history came out and while watching the galactic map near the Barnar's Loop Nebula, my eyes went
on this strange looking star... Wow! That IS a big star!!!

and then i went to the outskirts of the Flaming Star Nebula to make this beautiful pic

@
Actually i'm headed towards the Heart Nebula and the Soul Nebula but first i'll have to get to what i think is the central part of the Perseus Arm. doing this because if i
had to go like i wanted to do before starting, i saw that the more u go out, the less scoopable stars you're gonna find so i'll stick to the center of the spiraling arms of
our galaxy, just to be sure i'll be able to get back, and i'm talking of a return trip that will happen in months since i do not have so much time to dedicate to this endeavour
like OnePercent lucky u! :D
@
Actually i'm in headed towards PLOI THUA GB-M B21-0 system wich is 995.47Ly away from me...
I'll try to explore everything i can find and scan, but time is short for me so i'll leave some blank spots for u guys in the case u want to follow me... :)
i've made a simple calculation... 20 ly on average of single jump capability sometimes less sometimes more... i'll visit an estimate of nearly 17000 systems...
More than enough to reach the Elite status on exploration and to gain some money to upgrade my Anaconda! (or Explorconda-Exploraconda like some1 called it in the
Kerrash Landing 100th episode last night! :D)
@
So... Bye! Pray for me and hope that by the time i return to populated space, planetary landings or the Thargoids will already be present (hope so!!!)

17.000 systems, eh? If you stay only 2 minutes in each system (jump in, honk, jump out), and play 4 hours every single day from now on until you come back, we'll see you again in no less than 4-5 months. You sure you can endure that? :)

Anyway... good luck, commander!

Best of luck!
I send you a friend request, maybe I'll see you some time on the galaxy map. I'm currently at the north west end of the galaxy travelling clockwise.
On the way to Heart & Soul you might want to check out a little cluster down below starting with V595 Persei. A nice collection of giants, neutron stars and black holes. You don't get to see too many of those along the rim.

Best of luck. Remeber to zero speed in hyperspace, and to scoop at 80-90% to prevent heat damage. Hope you achieve your goal.

Thanks to Kate Russell (she gave me this advice on how to fuel scoop properly in a Kerrash Landing episode chat), now i know how to do that! :)

So there is another mad-dog around that is doing a solitary navigation trip... :p Let's hope that we come back
home before the Thargoids & planetary landings come into the game! ahahah

Good luck on your journey Cmdr.
Fly safe & watch out for Thargoids, as I'm sure they will appear in game, before your journey ends
:)

haha thank u for the offer! i hope to come back in a reasonable amount of time, august or september. don't have so much time to offer to the game, maybe
3 or 4 hours/day for now, and it will get even worse (luckily! :D) in the coming months towards the wonderful event on the end of october... :)

PS:
Ahahah last night i dreamed of a fleet of CMDRs waiting for me in front of Faust 68 Shoenherr Starport... THAT would be a nice Welcome Back! :D
