Smugglers Path - across the abyss with 33ly, direct south from Beagle Point. No Jumponium.

For some reason Route 33 had been turned Private instead of Public in EDSM. This should be corrected now. In addition I have added a bunch of waypoints so the EDSM list now contains app. every tenth system of 34´0 systems of the route.

Thanks! You're the best.

OK, so who stole all of my lovely shiny's that I stole off of Karaya1???

Syneayoi HN-W C1-1 is near the route and has an ELW.

Also, Cmdr. Gorgol, I love you. You are an explorer after my own heart. You have left almost no ice ball un-scanned, and spared me the 200kls trips across system to scan a bunch of worthless neon snow.

Hi CMDR Gunthar,

can you tell me which system along the route is closest to Syneayoi HN-W c1-1?

So I can insert a "detour" at the right place.

Right on![up]

I am going to go with Syneayoi YM-P b5-0.

But I jumped there from Syneayoi WM-P b5-0

Finally managed to dig my way out of the massive dead end I had found myself in. At one point I could see a star that was on this route 100ly away from me. There was 1 star in between, 75.54 ly away from my position. I had 1 premium jumponium left, and wasn't 100% sure I could reach the 'safe path' after that jump.

I held my breath and made the jump - the longest I have ever done - and amazingly the next jump was just 34ly, easily under my 35ly max range. In my EDSM notes I have named that system 'Scal's leap'.

Just gotten to a point where I can plot all the way to southern edge of the abyss and safety - all thanks to the smugglers path. Thanks again for the timely publication of this route

i had a very similar experience coming back from BP to Jaques

was a route i took in my conda with a laden range of 32.9 Ly i used a lot of jumponium to be fair but it was doable.

Thanks again for this route. I've been lost on the outer rim since DWE ended in May. Today I exited the near side of this route and I am navigating freely. Even with the update, I still would have been floating in the abyss without the path finding of you all in the exploration community. o7

Sorry to bring up this old-ish thread.

Okay, now only ~420LY away from Beagle Point having followed Smugglers Path to Ceeckia CG-F c14-0.

But I've just spent ages trying to find that final path to Beagle Point.

Any clues?
Or am I looking at a lengthy detour left / right ?

Have you tried to go slighly higher. At your position Ceeckia CG-F c14-0 you are at -89 of the stellar plane. Have you tried around -20 or so? Star seem a bit denser there.
I didn't have to do a lengthy detour. I was straight forward.

Cheers CMDRs ... I'll take a look tonight [where is it]

mpfj · Mar 10, 2017

Finally made it ... went "up" a bit and got there eventually. See here

Did have a weird thing where I couldn't jump to one of the last systems, but after I repaired all my modules (not just the FSD as that didn't seem to fix it ??), everything went smoothly.

At the risk of thread - necro, I just got the the cho thua sb-w c15-1 system last night. After attempting to find my own way through the abyss about 2000 light years "west" (and summarily falling short in less than a sectors distance) of the opening of Smugglers Path, I have decided to take a pass through it. I have a jump range of about 31.6 fully fueled up and about 34 near empty so I am not anticipating difficulties. Just a bit of a headache from fuel tank management lol. Anyway, I will let y'all know if there is anything more to add to this route. Tho, it looks like it's been pretty well scrutinized already so we'll see if I end up with any feedback beyond my own simple observations and experiences (vs. anything that might be useful for the community that is).

Should have feedback in a few days, week at the most.
