I am also headed into the deep black in an Asp. I'm using my 2nd FD account for the trip. Feel free to add CMDR JL Jr to your friends list if you want to see another green dot waaaaay out there with you on your Gal Map.
I find the exploration one of the more enjoyable aspects of this game. Sometimes you just want to unwind and find something new or unique. Get yourself a good playlist going and charge out into the black.
