And to be fair to him you have to admire the sheer determination to have scanned all the available systems in the nebula!
Yeah, and he did it quite a while ago. Even more impressive at that time. An unexpected benefit much later down the road is that with all the bodies tagged, we now know exactly how many Guardian ruins are in the NGC 3199 sector. Although there might still be nearby ones outside the sector itself.
Look through the list on EDSM. Lots of "silent keys", as we say in amateur radio.
Just discovered that I am still on the top 100 distances submitted record list, and #76 on the Search And Rescue list. My alt account is not included, of course.
Got to give him that.
I've seen posts where people complain that those systems are “ruined”. “How dare! only scanning the expensive planets”.
Silent Key - must add that to my big list of prospective ship names...
Started playing at Xmas and having been to Colonia and the Core now heading for Beagle Point, swinging out along the arm from my origin at Deciat. About 6 kylies out and quite strange as you will get a run of unclaimed systems then all of a sudden find a system with a name against it. I guess the Gal Map gives everyone a slightly different path according to your range etc. At the start up to about 1 kylie I was beginning to think the path to BP more trodden than to Saggy-A. I guess some CMDRS get so far then turn back?
Maybe they do turn back.
But it could also be that a lot of explorers have big jump ranges so there will always be some systems that get missed.
All too true, as we will never find out *anything* from Frontier.
I think also a lot of people get a certain distance out, and just stop scanning every system after a while.
I've begun developing a fear of systems with Cool Stuff in them, because it means another part of my life is now gone forever.

This is getting a bit OT now, but I was running express yesterday evening just honking, scooping and jumping on when something compelled me to do a detailed survey of the system I had arrived in. Lo and behold, found my first ELW! Quite the sense of achievement. Of course I have to survive the trip to BP and my chosen route back to hand it in.
However I did experience a smile of satisfaction and an exclamation of "Yes", to which my missus enquired, "What?" and went of shaking her head when I told her.

Keep in mind, some of us (myself included) have a different forum name as opposed to CMDR name. Barefoot Bandit is my in game CMDR name, foureggsample.

Stupid Hippy, Alitnil, Jackie Silver. There, I’ve done it. 3 of the most prolific system taggers you’ll see. HA!

I joined at Premium Beta. Spent my last wages on the game and built a PC for the first time. I decided to invest based on David Braben's description. It didn't live up to my expectations. I was wound up about it for a long time. It doesn't bother me anymore. I'm not going to argue about it anymore. Like it or not, this is the game. I spend more time on the forums than I do playing. There's good characters here. Celebrate that. I miss some of the old names on the forums too. Perhaps they just gave up. There are people that say they love this game on these forums. Perhaps they're the future. I'll stick around for a bit. And above all, you all look after yourselves and make the most out of life, yeah?
And Barefoot Bandit is also one of the tags you may find too [big grin]
