Sorry - I missed that one. It has now been updated.
I'm surprised that 'Z' direction limits such as the 'top of galaxy' and 'bottom of galaxy' are not nearly as covered and revered in the larger ED Community as the distances in the X,Y direction from certain points... perhaps because they are so fluid. That being said, as part of the SHEPARD Mission we tried to push these limits to new boundaries of exploration at Waypoint 22. As such, 2872ly above the plane is no longer a record holder. In fact, a few cmdrs on the mission were able to break this record. I was able to reach at least ten systems beyond 2872ly above the plane. Another Shepard Cmdr Taen actually reached 3048.75ly above the plane. His trip, however was one way and had to self-destruct. Please note that
these new limits were achieved before the launch of 2.3.
Would you like the system name for 3048.75 above plane and a description for a new POI for galactic mapping?
As such, might I also suggest changing the previous to the following description:
Eminentem Sidus
GalMap Ref: Syroomeou FG-Y g10
Desc.
" Syroomeou FG-Y g10 is a system that was reached with a single jumponium jump in an 53 ly Asp. It is situated at 2872 ly above the galactic plane, and was once thought to be the highest system visited above the galactic plane before this limit was breached during the SHEPARD Mission in 3303. The system itself cannot be reached without prior use of Jumponium. "
It is also worth mentioning that I am currently exploring a sector that I believe will also shatter the record for lowest below the plane. I am actually hoping to beat 3,100ly below the plane... I should know if I can get this within this week or next.
