    Frontier...this is so boring!! Bring back the cool stories! It was like the galaxy’s newspaper and made the world feel more alive! Sure, we had stories we thought that would lead to cool stuff that ultimately went nowhere, but they were cool! Now we got nothing! Bring back the cool stories!

    First 5k LY trip outside the bubble, just a dolphin and a newb.

    Posted: 15 Feb 2020 11:50 AM PST

    Just got elite dangerous last friday. After spending a few days getting used to controls and mechanics and grinding rep, I decided to take a little expedition outside the bubble to see if I could find any undiscovered systems and get my name on a few. I stripped the passenger cabins and cargo from my dolphin and kitted it up as an exploration ship with the essentials and set a course for a system a little over 5k out. I wanted to avoid the major nebula hotspots between me and my destination to improve my chances of finding undiscovered systems so I took a bit of a curved path while dropping as low on the star plane as I could get with my FSD range (about 33ly).

    After I got out about 1k, I started just tripping over undiscovered systems and once I reached 2k, it was nothing but undiscovered systems. I found maybe a handful that had been already tagged between 2k out and my destination system. It was so relaxing, just hopping from system to system, honking, scanning out the planets, and tracking down the valuable ones with the surface scanner. Exploration is such a zen experience, just me, several seasons of the Welcome to Nightvale podcast, and a vast void of space.

    By the time I reached my destination, I'll admit I was getting a bit space crazy though. I had attempted a landing on a planet without checking gravity and hit fairly hard, knocking my hull to 93% in the process. I managed to repair the modules with the Auto-Maintenance units I brought along but it was a bit of a learning experience and I still had the return trip back so I avoided landings after that point.

    The return trip was a more direct path back to the bubble and took me straight through several popular nebula hotspots. Once I was about 3k from the bubble, everything was pretty much discovered and I stopped even dss'ing every system, just honking and moving to get back quicker.

    In total, the trip took about 4 days and upon returning netted me a promotion to pioneer and roughly 170 million in credits with a total of exactly 180 systems discovered. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and though I don't think I'll be making the trip to Beagle Point anytime soon, maybe I'll plan a trip to Sag A soon. For now I'm just content to buzz around the bubble for a bit. Have the money to upgrade from a Dolphin now so maybe I'll hop into an Orca. I know the Anaconda is the meta ship for pretty much everything exploration but I just love the look of the Orca and hopefully I can kit it into a respectable exploration ship. I just wanted to share my experience with the community and a few of my favorite screenshots (as is the unwritten law of exploration).

    Show me the money...! Finding laser LTD mining way better than core. Mining lasers look bad-ass.
