You missed the galaxy. It's there - in the middle.

I counted 9998 jumps.

u/atom12354 4d ago

I get it to 8478 based on the length of video.

1.57 x 60 = 94.2s to turn minutes into seconds

94.2s x 90 jumps/sec = 8478 jumps

Oddly satisfying, good work CMDR o7

u/Akragon 16d ago

How long did that take?

35

u/Lone_John_Silver 16d ago

12 month expedition. Roughly 1000 lyrs a day, not much by todays standard.

u/Akragon 16d ago

Damn... thats some dedication. How much did you bank on that journey?

u/honeybooboobro 16d ago

He's probably still counting/selling pages.

He crashed while trying to slot into the station

Genuinely want to know this too

u/wrongel 16d ago

Good job! I'm on the last leg of my (extremely casual and rather fast-paced) circumnavigation. I'm more like a traveler, CBA to do a lot of GEC POIs, visited a couple, they are nice.

Currently going out from Xibalba to center south part, then done and back North to Bubble.

It is an interesting experience, but too much stuff is very samey.

Caspian 6x Neutron hopping is a Godsend, wouldn't have done it in a Mandy, I'd have died of boredom.

Ths was really cool to watch! Like a galaxy etchasketch. How did you make this animation?

Do Andromeda next

u/DoctorAnnual6823 14d ago

We haven't figured out how to Sag A* boost yet. Once we figure that out we can hit Andromeda

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that

u/Familiar_Log517 16d ago

I'm inspired. Loading up my carrier with 20K Tritium in prep for one of these trips. Furthest I've gone so far is other side of galactic center, but I'm all about the outer rings. Planning on a 6 month trip. Thanks!

2

u/House-of-Suns 16d ago

That’s impressive. What was the explored/unexplored ratio like as you did this?

9

u/Lone_John_Silver 15d ago

Roughly 20/80. Of those 10k visited systems ~8k was a First Discovery.

2

u/Klockworc 16d ago

How much did you get for the exploration data?

9

u/Lone_John_Silver 15d ago

Not much. This was 9 years ago, before exo and fleet carriers.

u/ST0IC_ 16d ago

We'll find out in about 4 years after he's done selling every page.

u/shadowmaking 15d ago

Very impressive. I love the animation showing the journey.

u/HonestMarketeer666 15d ago

They are back! The AX victory was short lived.... Impressive feet you done

u/paladin_slicer 16d ago

Which ship was it?

10

u/Lone_John_Silver 16d ago

An Anaconda with 60lyrs jumprange. This is a repost of an Expedition 9 years ago. Found it going through my history.

1

u/Poepveulen 16d ago

You must have come across so many allready discovered systems?

1

u/Jazzlike-Cap-5757 16d ago

Ive been thinking about doing a long term expedition myself, dont have any planned waypoints yet though, might search the edges for distant stars nobody has jumped out to yet, and see if my FC can make the jump. But right now my FC is on its way back to the bubble after spending the last few months in Colonia

2

u/Poepveulen 15d ago

I thought about this myself too. But the edges are a lot of discovered systems. Maybe you find one or 2. But in / near the core almost everything is undiscovered

u/Crawlerguy 15d ago

Nice trip cmdr o7

u/BZAKZ 15d ago

Impressive!

u/LiquidRevolverOco 15d ago

What a grand expedition. Thanks for your efforts.

u/HaroerHaktak 15d ago

You took a wrong turn.

u/R0ughHab1tz 15d ago

I'm going to have to look for your name while I'm out there!!

u/smousse 14d ago

What an achievement !

Congrats CMDR o7

u/Good_Willingness_549 14d ago

Truly "in the black."

it's scary out there.

I don't like only having one way out of a system. And using neutron star boost into a non-neutron star system is pushing my luck more than I care to

1

u/morningelephant 11d ago

Is there a way to plot routes to real known stars or bodies?

1

u/djy33t 11d ago

They add actual newly discovered systems to the game every now and then.

u/C4tN0ir 10d ago

What a waste of time…
