Records above and below the bubble

I recently visited a system about 2,000 ly above the galactic plane, when I got there I went to EDDiscovery to see my route and for my surprise some people seemed to have gone higher than that so now I ask, what's the highest and lowest systems that have been visited around the bubble?

Here's a screenshot of where I went:

You can check EDSM but it's almost 1 kylie more than you've been! In either direction.

This is something that I'm interested in, I bagged 2.3 kly down in my journey to Colonia but my ship (Dolphin) only has about 45 ly so in order to try and get really far out I'm going to have to come back with my Annie.

Horses for courses. I couldn't abide my Annie in most circumstances for explo but if it's jump range you want...

Good luck! :D

Are you sure? I do know that Allitnil has the record for the highest and lowest systems in all the galaxy and if I remember well they are about 3,200 ly in each direccion, but that's in all the galaxy, not close or directly above or below the bubble.

Edit: I didn't find any POI related to my post. :S

No, my mistake! You said the bubble (which I completely missed) and assumed in general across the Galaxy.

The answer to your actual question is - I don't know... but what I do know is that 2 kylies from the bubble seems pretty good.

I've tagged the following above the bubble:

- HD 119768 at 1998 Ly above the galactic plane.
- HIP 64476 at 2031 Ly above the galactic plane.

Whoaa, I got recked, +rep for your effort. There should be a POI for this things.
BTW, this system was already tagged so no first discovery :(

Go to https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping and enable ' Historical Location '. I believe 'Descent' and 'Ascent' are the current record holders, at 3299 below and 3354 above.

I did check that out but as I said before, I'm interested in systems above and below the bubble especially because the star distribution is unusual because around the bubble you find real stars mixed with the proc gen ones. Now that I see you are "now an admin for the Galactic Mapping Project" maybe there should be a POI about this (and no, the system is not a record and I wasn't the first to even get there).

Two questions:

1) How do you define 'above the bubble'?

2) Is there a particular reason why vertical distance from the bubble is of special interest?

Going to limits above (or below) the bubble is for some people just a stepping stone before going further out. Navigating sparse areas using jumponium is something one has to learn by doing it. Doing it around the bubble makes sense (at least it made sense in my case). There are only two directions to go and test it: above and below. And taking into account the shape of the galaxy the "definition" of above or below the bubble is also an arbitrary one. Above is where you go but it's not an "absolute" above. It's just where you tried to go.

As for significance, no there is none other than the personal feeling of accomplishment. It's a local maximum, not a global galactic record. In the context of a global galactic record, no, there is no significance. However, in the context of this thread the significance is that the OP asked the question because, like many other explorers, they went to try things and then became curious about other people who tried similar things.

I crawled up a few hundred light years to get to a specific star i wanted to visit that was impossible to reach before jumponium, it took me a long time and many missjumps to find a workable route to reach it but these days you can jump right past it in one go due to changes in the in game technology, records wont stand for long as the game advances.

1) Here's an idea, "The stars that are within a radius of 300 ly from Sol in the X, Y plane are considered to be above and below the bubble".

2)Not really though IMO many POI's don't have a particular reason to be of special interest.

I believe the bubble is larger than a 600ly radius around Sol, iirc

Looking at the EDD / EDSM database, the highest and lowest systems within 300 LY laterally of Sol are HD 111013 (+2280 LY, 68 LY laterally from Sol) and HIP 4099 (-2380 LY, 46 LY laterally), but neither of those have been visited and likely aren't currently reachable unless there happens to be a convenient neutron star.

Of those that have been visited, the records are HIP 62425 (+2029 LY, 194 LY laterally) and Gliese 3062 (-2118 LY, 11 LY laterally).

Of course, someone who doesn't use any of the 3rd party tools might have gone further.

Okay, that's stunning. How did you get those systems? I mean, I use EDD and EDSM but it looks like I use them in a rather shallow manner as I have no idea how you managed to get those systems.

Edit: And thank you for actually answering the OP question. :)

EDD stores all its data in a SQLite database so I used some SQL to interrogate it using a 3rd party program (SQLiteStudio).
