66 jumps at 73 LY per jump to get to that system. Off I go!
My carrier is about 5700 light years out, left of the bubble. I've found quite a few undiscovered systems here. You, or anyone else for that matter, are welcome to use it as a base if you want.
I'll be out here for a while as my current RL goal is to mend my arm enough that I can do combat (space/ground) when U14 drops in November. So only playing left handed for now and limiting my use of the joystick.
If you want the coordinates of my carrier, send me a DM. Once I find a pristine icy ring, I'll be moving the carrier there...
Yes.
Nowadays it doesn’t particularly matter, the important thing is to remember to log out of the game otherwise you will run out of fuel and your ship will explode.
A few years ago it mattered as because things move all the time if you logged out in space in the path of some rock or station there was a chance when you logged back in your ship and the object could be in the same place at the same time which could lead to issues.
This can;t be stressed enough...ESPECIALLY when one is out exploring...
Finally got here. Discovered 60+ more planets on the way.
My carrier is starting to look a bit beaten up - take a look at the lower part of this piccy:
Picked this moon first. It's supposed to have 5 life forms on it. Atmosphere is 100% ammonia.
What you have done is made it easier for active player factions to expand into your system - they don't need to retreat any non native factions to get in. If there are less than 7 factions in a system, the door is open for another faction to expand in.I’ve managed to push a player faction out of the system I‘m reorganising. Another non native faction is in Retreat and will be packing their bags in a few ticks time and I’ve managed to push the faction that originally controlled the system down to 9% influence. Their time is coming too.
Once they’ve disappeared the four Native factions will have complete control of their own destiny and my work here will be done.*
After all that, and seeing so many cool screenshots here, I may need to go and cleanse myself in the deep Black. Just realign the old chakras and sip a Long Island Iced Tea or two whilst watching a Neutron star cannibalize it’s companion star….there’s nothing more soothing than large scale destruction.
* I’m not entirely sure whether I’m saving a people from an occupation or forcing peaceful migrants from their homes in an act of horrific purging. I need to find comfort in the darkness
This is odd. I saw a target marker so I went towards it. When I got up to it, it looked like a gold vein within a rock, but I can't target it or do anything with it. I got out to take a closer look but didn't want to scan it because I've got two of three samples I don't want to throw away.
Any advice?

It's a bit late now but I believe Elite Observatory allows you to bookmark samples...
Looks like an ordinary shootable rock.
It should be targetable, either with the target-ahead button or the left panel Contacts. Then you shoot it and mats come out. You target those, and open your cargo hatch (on the SRV) and roll over them.
I finally targeted it with the turret and shot it. It blew into some chunks of Sulphur.
Yeah. Depending on the planet and the type of rock you find, you can get raw mats of various grades that way. In the olden days it was the only way to get them.
I still do lots of that...sometimes I can spend days roaming around in the Scarab...on the right body of course. And bodies iwth Geo activity have lots or rares too and usually really good driving conditions and scenery...
The screenshot I posted above last with the pastel fonticula, the ground was frozen and black with shades of green and purple. It was gorgeous..I was out on foot and ice cream was distracting me (I don't eat at my desk), and when I got back to the game, single digit meters away from my ship I had mere seconds of oxygen left and was blacking out and slowly sinking to the ground...luckily I was able to replace my battery pack quickly... WHEW!!!!
The planet I was on had 5 biological signals and I sampled three. Couldn't find the other two.
The planet I'm on now has 6 biological signals. I just landed and I can see several of them out the window already. This system is pretty cool.

It is a mesosiderite (one of the game's meteorite types).
(EDIT - I see you discovered that in a later post, sorry.)
Perfectly OK, pal. I'm new to all of this so telling me something 3 or 4 times is pretty much required.
Meanwhile, rocking the classic gear and checking out an odd mushroom-like plant:
