What was your highest total payout after returning from an exploration trip?
- Thread starter Branithar
- Start date
In the next week or so, I'll be getting back to Colonia after a 6 month trip to Beagle Point and SagA.
50% done pre-2.3, with 20+ ELWs and many TC scans.
So I'll see how I do
Okay ... made it back to Colonia
Sold all my data from the trip to BP, and made 443M ...
And jumped from Ranger (77%) -> Pioneer -> Elite ... [yesnod]
I scanned roughly 3000 systems, including 53 ELWs (27 First Discoovered) and many, many TCs.
Highest single payout was 3.5M
So far mine's been around 500 million after about a week and a half of exploring out in the SWOIPHS region.
Can't remember, but in about a years time I'll be cashing in from my circumnavigation trip. Got high hopes on that one.
Ok this latest trip (and my first with the 2.3 payout) that was 2 months and 2 weeks was a grand total of 720,846,211.
The Break Down
I broke it up into 2 legs, the first one which was under a month a round about way where I ended up being close to Colonia and decided I wanted to cash out as I wanted the first discovery of a ringed ELW and that trip was 265,328,630. the second that took me out around with no point that was about another month and a half netted me 455,517,581.
I was expecting a lot more for the 2nd leg, but I realized the first leg I spent time getting every terriformable planet I could. The 2nd leg, I only went after Water Worlds, ELW's, Ammonia and Under 100 LS Metal-Rich planets. So I covered a hell of a lot more area, but also didn't get as much payout per systems.

About 23 million. I realised my fuel scoop was really bad, so I cut short my journey, and I don't want to go on any really long distance journeys until I've grade 5 engineered my ship.
I think my highest is around 400 million from my trip to Beagle Point. I started off by heading to the Great Annihilator, then swung right and headed to the outermost galactic arm. I followed it round to Beagle, then finished my trip in Colonia. This was around the time of the Thargoid hyperdictions, so I decided to use the proceeds to build a science 'conda filled with limpet controllers and ship scanners in case I came across anything worth investigating. Much fatter than my ASP, but still capable of a 52Ly jump.
dang!!! i went 5kly, one week, made 40 mil
So it took some more time then I had planned to turn in all data. Total profit from this trip (20805 jumps) was 11.575.680.957 credits. http://imgur.com/a/haltZ

Print that - it's a free entry ticket to the sanatorium.
Jokes aside, that's darn impressive! +1
Care to share your travel map?
That's really impressive, commander! 99% of those earnings are from that crazy buff we got on the 2.3 update.
(cue Sothis sentimental's complaining about exploration is OP...)
