As has been noted in other threads, I recently made my way to Sgr A*, only to meet there a charming fellow who felt that an unarmed, unshielded Hauler was a suitable target for his PVP skill and the firepower of his mighty Asp </sarcasm>

But this is not a complaint, whine, or rage-quit. No.

Along the way, I found a few previously undiscovered Earth-likes, Ammonia worlds and other interesting things, and I have a record of the names of some of them in screenshots - I'm not an obsessive recorder like some, and didn't record Water worlds and Terraformables, for example.
Even if I felt like making that particular journey again, I'm not convinced the game will let me scan them a second time - I can still see all the data I scanned in my Galaxy Map, even though I can't sell it.

So, if you're heading in that direction, look under the spoiler if you like, for some points to aim for. The nearest one to Sol is 17.5 kly out.

Spoiler

EOS AOWSY KH-L C8-228 - Binary system with an Earth-like orbiting each star
DRYAU AOWSY SW-I C23-330 - One of those massive black/red volcanic planets with an orbiting Earth-like
OGAIRY JN-K D8-6388 - Ammonia world and (I think) also a Water world
ATHAIP XR-H D11-4526 - Earth-like, less than 30ly from the Great Annihilator
MYRIELK OR-W C1-1088 - Ammonia world
MYRIELK NR-W C1-6149 - Water world and two life-bearing gas giants (one Water, one Ammonia)

Thanks for doing that. I also suffered the indignity at the hands of the same CMDR. At the moment I'm about 1/3 of the way back, in open, to scan the systems I lost out on and demonstrate that the eejits won't win.

Wow..very kind of you Sir!! I will probably pick one of two of these...as I am reaching Sag A* today!!!

You'll be remembered and CMDR Hemorrhoid will not!!!

Repped!

Oh I don't know about that, I remembered the Pirates name quite clearly, had forgotten his victim until I read it above.

Well said. +Rep

I'll carry on exploring, still in Open, but I don't plan to head back that way soon, and if I do, I'll most likely take a different route.

I'm now closer than the nearest of these and heading Sol-wards, but it's a good thing you've done there and I've repped in recognition

 

[iain666]

I'm on the rim so not much direct use to me, +1 though.

Very kind to share this with the community, have some rep.

Yes it does let you re-scan and sell the data (and get first discoveries) - I once retraced my steps after a terminal encounter with a contact binary - everything worked as if it were my first visit, except the ability to see the system maps in advance of arriving back.

Fly safe CMDR.

If you are ever in occupied space near me and have cargo space, look me up and I will donate some gold. Whilst we dont explore for the credits, they do come in handy for upgrades/repairs. When I arrived at Sag A* I met up with a 'Conda, we exchanged pleasantries, befriended one another, and went merrily on our way. This was less than a week before all the trouble started. Part of me wishes I was jumped as my Asp reached the Core fully armed with added sprinkles. I have 17Kly to go (probably do closer to 25K the way I am snaking) so may be another couple of weeks before I am back docked.

Fly safe Cmdr,

Fly safe Cmdr,

Thank you kindly for that offer. I had someone contact me in-game yesterday and do the same

It's not necessary though, I'm far from a n00b (been playing since early Beta), and far from poor. I just don't play a lot, and don't grind for credits. Maybe that's why I'm still enjoying the game so much.

Aha! Thanks for that.

That is excellent news. +1 Rep to both you and Barton Smith. Virtual rep for all other explorers that don't let [Expletive Deleted] like CMDR shrubbery spoil the game for others by going out there and taking up the challenge.
