About 3.6k ly out from Azrael now and heading vaguely in the direction of the core, finding plenty of undiscovered stuff, but already getting bored. Lost 10% of my hull messing about in an interesting looking deep canyon after forgetting to turn my shields on.

I'm conflicted between moving forward verses staying in a system and looking at/playing on the pretty planets, moving forward feels like progress, but I know I'm missing out on the interesting stuff (and the continuous jump-honk is dull), looking at/landing stuff is more interesting but the time flying between planets is even duller than the jump-honk.

Being the eternal optimist that I am, I'm working on the concept that 2.1 will make missions too interesting to want to set out so this is the ideal time, but hmm maybe I'm just not an explorer at heart.

I got to 10K last time, maybe there is some sort of wall you hit when staying out feels right?

I too got the exploration bug. Currently about 800ly from Sol. So far its been Honk and Scoop. Did find one complete system unscanned and another where the second star was missed. I pass on 10 planets and a star because I didn't want to sit in SC for 450Kls for icy worlds.

Don't know how long I will last, but Drakes Hind and I are trying. Might be back in the bubble by the weekend. Who knows.

working a night shift in RL so will not be on tomorrow - back to the grind for imperial rank - I want that clipper...

Going to try the idea at the HIP system and sacrifice sidewinders... sounds like a faster way to do things

Hopefully get enough for a python shortly, slowly building up the courage to get out of my comfort zone (solo) and do a cg or even see if my mic works on my headset!!.

Just about to jump in for the first time in 4 1/2 days.
I've fallen a bit behind on the DWE- still sitting at WP19. :roll:
It's time to give this another go.

I took nearly a year off but have picked up the Horizons Expansion and am now hitting the trading grind again. Hoping to save up to buy an Anaconda - and then the push to the Corvette. :)

I did some Bounty Hunting and sold my Fer De Lance, just couldn't get comfortable with it. I am back in my trusty Federal Assault Ship. To my style of play nothing beats brute force and a ton of armor :)

I'm docked and ready for my 1st days grind tomorrow doing fortification supplies.

This will be the start of week 3 for Rank 5 in PP. Nothing special in the way of ships. FAS for Bounty Hunting, Python for hauling supplies and my trusty Asp that I used to spend 90% of time in that I haven't undocked in 2 weeks. 230 million in cash. I did an Anaconda cargo build and I need 499 million + the 24 million insurance to replace the Python. Although being a real cheapskate at heart I may not bother as I can't justify the cost.
