3rd September. Tonight I gave up on getting any further down the Scutum-Centaurus arm and turned north to head back up to where I can cross into my third arm (heh heh). Unless I spot a bridge that Chiggy missed that's at least a 10kly back track...

Thanks Cmdr...I'm glad you appreciate the difficulties...and also the fun! I chose a sidey for both those reasons!
Yup, it is a blast and I cant wait to upgrade the thrusters on a sidey and see how fast she can do a canyon run...closer to the bubble this time though

also a non-standard explorer I think...so should be fun as well. Going to BP again Cmdr?
Frawd
I don't think I'll go to BP anytime soon, the outer rim was the most boring part of the galaxy I saw so far.
I will focus this time only on the core region as -quite the contrary- it was by far the most interesting area. I think it is very underrated as most explorers usually prefer the arms & fringes, yet it contains probably 90+% of the stars.
So almost 10 months now...phew! Keep on flying Cmdr! I'll see you back in the bubble late next year

Agreed...the core has many fascinating systems and they're all really close together and there are lots of them!! I think I prefer it to the outer reaches as well...

If you look closely you will see there is a Cmdr under all my tags...Cmdr Jermus has almost made it to our meet-up. Apologies I wasn't able to stick around tonight Cmdr. Too exhausted which would endanger both our ships...
See you tomorrow.

I wasn't really expecting you to do so. Better safe than sorry. It was a pleasent surprise to "see" you at allIf you look closely you will see there is a Cmdr under all my tags...Cmdr Jermus has almost made it to our meet-up.

Day 214 was my meet-up with Cmdr Jermus, intrepid sidey pilot. It was awesome to see another sidey all the way out here in the black Cmdr. Thanks so much for meeting with me, even if it did take both of us a little while to figure out how to find each other!!

I've just made back through the Abyss again (4th time!!) - bookmarks help and knowing where you are going . Currently about the 58ish Kly form Sol mark. Limited time flying at the moment - might managed a 10kly a week if I'm lucky.
(passed the 10000th system visited tonight!)
