Reached my goal so heading back home again

[excalibus]

well this little 3 or so week foray into the black took me to around the 2K LY mark from home, with well over 500 systems scanned, a few ELW 1st discoveries will be in the bank I hope when I get home... I even found the almost perfect place to set up a mining colony tonight just as I hit the 2K mark... with an ELW, 2 terraformable heavy metal content planets and a heap of heavy metal content worlds as well as some pristine metal rich belts, it would have been completely perfect if there had been some metal rich worlds and metallic belts / rings but alas...

It should make sirius corp happy

Well done Cmdr. Safe travels home.

Let your fellow explorers know if you want an escort for that final run to port.

 

[excalibus]

well I made it back to civilised space and sold my data, a lot of 'first discoveries' and tad over 30 million in the sale of the data, I did rush back a lot faster than I had planned so I could cash in on the CG... with over 400 systems sold... I do not know what happened there though because I am certain I scanned more than that... but not to worry maybe it just felt like a lot more


oh and my current scan ratio is 6.51 (highest of level 2 / 3 scans divided by number of systems visited)

Excellent work commander and congratulations on a safe journey out and back!

 

[excalibus]

thankyou

Yeah, I was around 400 short from what I expected. My start screen -> finish screen in right hand panel showed 3154 visited yet only 2800 counted to the CG. Not sure what happened but Im not complaining since I roughly tallied the cash up that I expected and it worked out right, 2800 should be enough for top 5% anyway.

Welcome back anyway CMDR

I normally make a note of the number of systems on the statistics menu. Also Captains Log is your friend. You'll be able to see exactly how many systems you've been through too, but won't separate out ones you'd visited previously.

yeah in CL I have over 627 Systems logged but there is stuff there from Beta (271 systems) and then there is a whole lot that is missing...

Also as regarding my in game system visit tally, it is below what I actually did visit for the sole reason of the recent system visit counter bug and I am not 100% sure how long that bug went on for (it was a few days in the very least and so there would be 50 - 100 systems that are not on the in game counter I suspect...

My system count for this trip (what is actually stored in CL) from when i set Verbose Logging back on when I was using EDiscovery is 355

My total system count in game when I reached my ship change destination before heading to sell my data was 1050... I did scan all the way back in...

I know I was beyond about 600 LY from home when I was heading out before I turned on verbose logging... so there are 100 or so systems that did not get counted in the captains log file...

I did drop down a couple of hundred light years below the plane I started out on to get away from already discovered systems..

The community goal registered (from memory) 458 or 485 systems reported cannot login right now due to server update

Noob question but if you sell your data to an independent and the systeam is worth mining or colonizing, will they expand to that region?

 

[Col Frost]

Congratulations on your trip and safe return commander, that's a hefty profit! I only made 35 million on my trip to Sagittarius A and back!

well I do hope that some time in the future, FDev add to the background sim the ability for factions to expand using data sold to them... I think it would really add to the game...

They could almost automatically generate expansion community goals using exploration data sold to factions as long as it meets certain criteria

sadly I do not think at this time the background sim will do that because FDev still want total say over what expansions happen
