So I'm nearly three weeks into my latest expedition and it's going OK.
Approx 16klys travelled so far, 600-odd systems.
Found a nice area for Neutron Stars and White Dwarves, collected around thirty of each (oh! and one Black Hole!). But then I ran out of stars and had to back-track down and core-wards a bit.
I'm still thinking that my objective is going to be a galactic circumnavigation, I just haven't decide my course yet. I may go for staying about 15klys from Sag A* and seeing how that looks.
Planetwise I've already discovered 4 Earth-likes and 40-odd Water Worlds, plus lots of high metal and such.
My trip to Sag A* took me three months, I think I might be out a bit longer this time.....
