Next week for 2 or 3 weeks I will be focusing on my Exploration rank to the exclusion of everything else. Increasing the rank takes preference to profit. I am trying to find the best way to increase my rank without being totally boring, or that is what I would find boring.
I was thinking of taking a very deep 'take scientist to blah blah blah' type mission, or maybe heading out to Colonia and back. In either case scanning each system goes without saying, but I was wondering if anyone knows if spending the time to do detailed scans of planets versus quickly going to the next system gives the best return?
I read somewhere that the deeper into the black you drive your SRV, the more exploration credits you earn, and so does Colonia count as being very deep as I was thinking I would be able to keep getting the SRV refueled in Colonia.
Basically I do enjoy a little bit of exploration now and again, but for me its my least enjoyable pastime, and so I am seeking ways to work on the exploration rank in the most efficient way possible?
Lastly, I have not as yet taken much notice of the whole Thargoid thing. If I take a direct a heading as possible from the bubble to Colonia, does this take me into known Thargoid areas?
Thanks
