Space getting scanned big time

Postby Gregster » Thu Dec 17, 2015 10:56 am

The last time I went into the depths of space, I needed only tavel 300 ly from SOL before I was encountering unscanned systems, I am now 500 ly away and every system and every planet has been scanned that I have dropped in. It amazed me really that the amount of systems (over a billion) and everyone I have come to thus far has been scanned :D

Not a moan but more an observation of how big and how many players there are now :)

And I doubt we've scanned even 1% of the total systems.

Might just be you where on a well traveled route.
A few ways to get out of the main lanes is to either switching to economic for a few jumps or plot a course straight up or down.

Went out to shapely 1 yesterday and got a couple of firsts by chance , wasn't really looking.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

This.

Majority of the time people dont really think to go up or down outside of the bubble. They'll just pick their direction and go. Head up or down on the galactic plane a chunk away from the bubble and you'll be finding plenty of Firsts.
