Been to Jaques and back, a very boring trip out, but on my way back I used a neutron highway.

Blimey mate, thought it was hard going at 30ly range..how often do you have to scoop? The DBX has no secondary tank and I spend waaay too much time refuelling. What way are you headed? I went out via the california Nebula, heading towards the last feint spiral arm before it all goes very black.

I'm heading towards Colonia, via the 6 outposts or whatever they are called officially. I don't have a secondary tank either so I refuel pretty much after every jump, but most of the time I could do 2 jumps without scooping. Just needed to set the route to follow only scoopable stars. Still have quite a long way to go..

I'm trying to do the Outlander challenge.

Yeah, i'm flying by scoopable stars only..it means a bit of a' round the houses' route but at least i'll not end up stranded in the black. I'm almost at the 10k mark now..on my way to the bubble nebula, after that I have no idea where i'll head next. Im tempted to just keep flying out in a line and see if I can hit the 'wall' found a couple of earth type worlds last night, so if I ever get back i'll get a nice payout. Feel free to add me as a friend mate, be quite good to see your marker on the map and know I am not alone out here! lol
