Dang! That's a lot of distance to cover in one evening, Skipp. Impressive. ;)

@ Skipp:
If you're talking about the exploration CG, here's an update of the progress bar after around 12 hours. You should be able to make it I think.
► Show Spoiler


Went in a CZ with full FA off on conda; maneuvering seems to be easier on bigger ships as opposed to just activating when turning. That or the NPCs seem to follow my ship's trajectory, making it easier to maintain a distance and ship orientation while trying to approach pythons-condas' blindsides. Taking a break for now while trying to check out EDShipyard's new implementation of the imperial eagle, federal gunship, and assault ship. Still waiting for coriolis though.

I poked my head into CQC for 5 mins then left. It looked nice but Ive trading to do so I did my daily evening 10M Cr trade target, then logged off again. Weekdays I only get an hour or so to play so I have to make hay. Got too close to a sun and dropped out of sc, re-enter sc and got dicted twice on way to station. Made it okay but sometimes when you think everything is going to plan. Bam the game wakes you up and sweat a bit. 500T of slaves were moaning about the heat and the dicter managed to pinch 14T despite me running and he blew my cargo door off, so there was a bit of a draft in the cargo bay. Cheeky blighter. Still 210M Cr Trading, so Im 20% of the way to Elite. Its become an obsession this reaching elite business...

Watched TV on my left, kept jumping on my right. It was a long run, that's for sure. But I should finish the run in like 2h today. Finally coming back to civilized space!

Yup, that's it. What are the bonuses actually? Do I get 5/10% more cash for selling exploration data?

You are thinking of the 200% bonus to exploration data value ?

Just be aware that you need to be rank 5 to get it, that's a lot if merits to grind.

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

No no... i'm not thinking about powerplay bonuses. I know I need merits for that. But do I need merits for the community goal too? That makes no sense.

Because if I don't get extra cash for turning in the data for the community goal, I'd rather sell it at Mobius and gain local faction points instead.

Oh,didn't know about the CG, completely forgot about that :P

No needing merits for the CG would be stupid :D

I've got a bit of damage on my current run, caused by watching TV while exploring. On my last run, my hull was down to 75% or so for the same reason. I've switched over to internet radio because of this.

I'd be no good as an Apache pilot. They train their eyes to focus independently so they can read the in-helmet display with their right eye while looking out of the canopy with the left.

Working my way toward Sag A*. I only have about 5000 ly to go! :D Hull at 98%, still have one full AFMU (next time I'm bringing 4 instead of just 2), and found my second undiscovered Earth like planet today! 8-)
