Day 24
And as for today, it is the last day!
Now the offical business, shot with coords from about the same place as I started and stats
That should result in this trip taking 58h and 6min driving roughly 4200km
But now of course I'm done and sitting here without a ship....
Well, I am pretty sure they disappear at some point because when I made my SOS I made it too big at first, the first S started to vanish while I made the last S. Alltough that was about 2 years ago, could be some things have changed - maybe we need to do some scienceI'm genuinely really curious about this actually (must try to grab someone from Frontier at Lavecon and ask about it). I'm not convinced there is a time limit on track marks, I always assumed they were permanent for the instance (you must have had the thing where you drive back to somewhere you were at some time ago and re-discover your own track marks?).
I started a thread about this sort of thing ages ago which didn't gain any traction ..
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/389660-When-is-an-instance-not-an-instance
So, as another example for that thread ... say I land and draw some tracks. If you then log in and message me your co-ordinates and I fly to your location (without jumping in or out of supercruise and without ever experiencing any kind of instance joining delay like you might get when dropping out at a popular station) ... if you followed me back to where I drew the tracks would you see them? If I then logged off would they disappear or would your continue to keep my instance (and my tracks) in existence? If we each drew track marks before meeting and then we met up and I came to see yours and you came to see my mine, would they both be there? Have the instances somehow merged?
Like I say, geuinely curious about how all this works.
And as for today, it is the last day!
And its a nice sunny day
Up here I can't really track the old route very much, not enough coords from back then or directions as to where exactly we did drive. but its a nice place anyhwere
I reach the place where I did write the SOS. Not really a good tourist spot, since its just a flat area without the SOS being persistent
I try to do some heroic pose with one wheel on a rock looking in the distance while I'm there
A last PoI
Getting close now, there is the end of the ridge
And arriving there a ship greets me
And thus I made it all around the planet now, hello back old friend canyon!
