The Dead End's Circumnavigation Expedition

I decided to join up with this a few weeks ago (July 11th) and just today finished up the circuit. I thought I'd post some stats from the trip:

Total Jumps: 5201
Total LY: 452,262
Prem. Boost: 33
Standard Boost: 46
Basic Boost: 123
Scooped 4403 times for 27,422 tons
Landed 12 times

What surprised me about this trip was that it took me nearly 100k LY more than the EDSM distance.

Thanks for organizing a fantastic expedition! It was nice to escape the bubble for a few weeks.

As many of you might know, since the beginning of DECE one of my goals has been doing a SRV planetary circumnavigation and i have been searching for small enough planet since start.
I've had a lot of help from other cmdrs and i was going to do it at the same planet as Eryn Liamson did, but i just came up with this and i think that my SRV Circumnavigation will start here, today:

Swaupy AF-R D4-0 A 2, get ready for circumnavigating. :)

PS. Sadly, i wont be able to participate in Saturdays mass jump & talkshow because of surprising real life stuff. :(
Theres a small chance the real life stuff will be canceled but i strongly doubt it.

If i wont make it, good luck with the jump, fleet! o7

Cross-posting here because I promised I wouldn't put any more OT posts in the Eye-Candy thread :)

Sorry to continue this... but I'm curious: why would your sensors be off?

When I repair stuff it gets switched off. Since I don't need sensors in supercruise (or shields) I didn't bother turning them back on.

This isn't the first time I've made this mistake...

Well, i did.. while it lasted.. Unfortunately i had to abort my SRV circumnavigation after i had done about 1/4 of the trip.
I realized that i just dont have time for that now, way too much rl stuff and other stuff to keep me busy from doing that kind of extra stuff. (yes NMS im looking at you) :(

Hopefully i'm able to try it again towards the end of DECE.

Hi guys,
A few days before last Sats basecamp my PC hard drive gave up,, worked fine one day, nothing the next. I had no time to sort that out yet,, because on Friday 3rd my better half and I set off driving down to the south of France to spend 2 weeks cruising the Riviera with the A/C flat out and the top down.
So i was already missing last Sats basecamp,, and the 18th’s too.
Plan was to cover the distance to where the Expedition will be when i get back, before we left, damn HD scrapped that.
So i’ll have some catching up to do when we get back,,, after some PC fixing.
Take care guys, fly safe oo7

Take care Cmdr, hopefully you will get your HDD problem sorted out and get back on the saddle. There's still basecamps left, so no worries. :)

Just saw your expedition, i dont know where you currently are but safe travels from the Lone Star Expedition Team Members!
(CMDR Axonteer and on board pet mascott "spaceduck" Else). We just arrived at BP after 6 months and then going clockwise back home.
We dont have a fancy badge, because i only have a hand sketch of it and lack the design skills to paint it up in a paint programm eventough i tried.... bought a tablet for that lol.

At any rate, fly safe and 07
