Its been coming for a while, but waited for a fun final chapter to close this book. Probably would have been far easier in a normal ship, but hey. If anyone is looking for a griefer-corvette free-zone, this is it. No shipyard or outfitting either.
The final chapter
- Thread starter Ian Skippy
- Start date
Lol, alright: THIS GAME IS DYING!!!!!! What about casuals who cant use OP mods and synthesis to bring their ship here? Is exploration p2w????! [mad]
Seriously though, anyone else tried some harebrained trip like this? This was a crapload of fun, having to scavenge mats, carefully plotting and hoping I wouldnt run into three consecutive nonscoopables. Could have taken the Asp and get here in an hour from Sol, but this is just way more fun.

Are these all really out in deep space? Like it takes some effort to get there?

Right on, Commander! o7
I can't see the image. Are you talking about an asteroid base? If so, I also made an exodus from the bubble to one for the peace and quiet
One is straight in the bubble, freeholm in artemis. Not sure about others. Plenty in deep space. This one is about 3k out, but its a little bit of an island. Its downright impossible to reach with a battle-corvette, no matter how much polonium you have, and rather tricky in athe fdl with its small range and tank.
Its on the way to the FR base, which is 4k further. Not sure if I can get there yet, will spend some time in this nebula first.

Yeah, itsva research base in hopefully Black Hole Country:

making it to NGC 1893 region and then RS Perse, pre mods, pre materials listed on scans was hard work. Jump mats needed so much just to get to these places back then, and you didn't know what planet had what. Had to land and check... (and SRVs where randomly exploding to boot
)Then plan out mats so you had enough to jump back to a system if the next one didn't have what you needed.. slow and painful.. as hard as exploration got.

forget everything else... it says "Right on Commander" which AFAIK is a signature phrase of elite which i have never seen mentioned in game in Elite Dangerous.
btw Right on commander.... congrats (though i dread the day i get there personally)

This is all I've been waiting for really. Just to make a living out in some far off system. Asteroid bases provide me that immersive feeling I've been searching for. I like the idea that when I see another commander I'll be saying to myself "Holy Moly another human being in these parts?" The country boy in me...lol
There is actually a fair amount to do, too. RES, mining obviously, rich explo systems. Like a mini-colonia but even quieter.

Yup, I've already done some local passenger missions with decent payouts and bounty hunting as well. I just like to sit and enjoy the views mostly with the new cameras. 2.3 is a great update in my book.
Just as an FYI from the Fuel Rats on route plotting:
4th tab of galaxy map
Filter by colour
Star Class
Select only K,G,B,F,O,A,M classes
Press "Apply Filter to route"
Never worry about fuel scooping
Also Congrats

Thanks, but with the FdL tank that means you cant reach a LOT of places at all, and other places will have you take massive detours. I'll try to keep an eye out though so I wont have to call you, fingers crossed.
