Nearing home....

Postby Jeffers2112 » Fri Aug 14, 2015 8:55 am

I'm finally on the homeward leg of my exploration trip.
Now been out 84 days, got lots of data to trade in when I get back to civilization.
My trusty Asp is a little battered, hull and power plant at 90% and with a nice cracked canopy after an accident a few days ago.
Now less than 10k lys to go. I could do it in a day if I could spare the time, I can get over 1000 light years per hour if I really try.
Doubt if that'll happen though, so I'm trying to set myself a target of a minimum of 1000/day.
Mostly now I'm just scanning and scooping with max range jumps (around 33 lys) but I'm still checking the system view for anything really interesting, like a water world or earth-like.
So, another week or so at most and I should be back....

Thinking about spending 84 hours exploring unnerves me so what you did is epic. Count how many pages of info you turn in and total profit because I am sure I am not the only one curious to know how many systems you scanned, your daily average, and daily profit. Congratulations on you journey thus far.

You'll have to let us know when you are back into civilisation and certainly I will try to be there and escort you back :D Most I done was a month and only got about 2000LY out (although was doing short jumps).

Deserve a fanfair when you get back :D

I'd be very interested in your final profit. I'm on my way to Sagittarius A and I'll probably just rush my way back and I have no clue what to expect for payment, but i'm almost 100% sure i'll be disappointed xD

I'm going to make note of my "before and after" exploration profits.
I've currently made over 12 million exploring, which has gotten me to Ranger, I'm at 2% to the next level.
I would hope to get a promotion out of this trip as it's been further and longer by far than anything I'd done before.
Making good progress today, I've gotten over 2k nearer to home in a couple of sessions, and I'm just about to do some more...
Only 8.2k to go now....... although I'm pretty sure that I'll get the data traded in at the first place I get to that'll have it. I'm not doing PP and I've no particular allegiance so I'm not bothered who I sell it to.

Wow that is fantastic. I need to go and give exploration a try. It seems like it would be a lot of fun...relaxed... no pressure to make a fast credit...

I think I might just try and sneak in quietly....
I'll celebrate AFTER I've successfully sold the data!

Yep, I think I might be getting home before you. Having a good run today, made a lot of progress.
