I've done a couple of short 1k LY exploration runs to date. I am enjoying the peace and quiet the black.
If I recall my astronomy correctly, the Sol system is in the Orion arm of the galaxy. As a result, I am heading out to the Perseus Arm. I am currently in the sparsely populated space between arms.
I will report any interesting findings on route.
Wish me luck,
