Oops... just crashed 10KLY from Beagle Point

Tempted to stop by the same planet just to show it two fingers!!

I revisited the site of my one great disaster in the black on my next trip out, half to pretend I was looking for the wreckage and half to check if the planetary nebula I was about to jump to at the time had been tagged (it had) so I can sympathise with that urge.
 
Urm, it had crossed my mind :)

Tempted to stop by the same planet just to show it two fingers!!

I did that....bad idea. I pancaked on a planet about 100ly from Sgr A* during DWE. I went back so the lines would join up in EDD :D and with a plan to revisit the planet.
Can't remember the exact cause now (windows update I think) but I momentarily lost helm control arriving into the system and got ripped out of super cruise at the star (I tend to arrive full throttle unless its a BH/NS/WD) and causing some module damage and around 0.5% hull [because sometimes I had 99% and others it was back to 100%]

Figured the system is jinxed and jumped out :) No doubt I would have pancaked again...
That was the *only* damage during the entire trip to BP (got plenty coming back due to taking too many chances, but that's a different story)
So yeah....caution Cmdr
 
Good luck CMDR. I once went pop when I decided to do full thrusters on a 0.14G world, thinking it was 1.4G :D
Dont land on planets unless there are really rare elements or you need to do synthesis.

Safe travels cmdr
 
Distance to Beagle Point: 22.4KLY

Progress will be slower now as I've run out of Neutron Stars !! :(
 
Distance to Beagle Point: 20.9KLY

But I'm going to turn back 1K as I've missed revisiting a couple of my ELW discoveries from attempt #1 :mad:
 
I took some time with Elite yesterday also and currently im about 4000Ly from Beagle Point. :)
Ill be there sometime this week, hopefully.
