    To avoid space madness while exploring, I always put some Star Trek on my second screen. Yes, I like space a lot, can you tell?

    The journey was definitely worth it. So long Sagittarius

    I'm beginning to think most of us watch Trek and fly.

    What’s the dumbest/most embarrassing thing you’ve done in this game

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 03:50 AM PDT

    Hello fellow Commanders as the title says, let's hear about your biggest mistakes.

    Here's mine:

    I'm new to the game. I've been playing for a few weeks and I'm learning new things each time I play. I did some courier missions, some bounty hunting, some retrieval missions, and a few road to riches systems. I was feeling more confident in the game.

    I bought a cobra Mk III and kept on trying different missions to learn more about the game. I saved up a bit over 10 million credits, and understood what to do in most mission types.

    I then came across a passenger mission worth 32 million credits. The destination was 37,000 LY away. The mission allowed 3 weeks to complete.

    It seemed crazy but I decided I'm gonna do it. I'm going to go far out of the bubble. I ditched my shields, my weapons, got A rated fuel scoop and FSD drive, a first class cabin and the lightest components for everything else.

    I was going to take these 3 people 37,000 light years away 25 light years at a time (my max jump range). I'd honk every system and get a pretty penny selling the data after doing it 1500 times.

    I got on my way

    10 jumps - this is neat I'm not stopping anywhere I just cruise around the sun a few times every few jumps and I'm good to go

    40 jumps - I'm probably making so much money just by honking these systems

    100 jumps - wow this is more of an undertaking than I thought

    200 jumps - I wish I fuel scooped faster

    At 300 jumps I got sloppy, I got distracted and hit the emergency breaking zone and damaged my ship a few times.

    500 jumps - my FSD is badly damaged, it doesn't engage reliably. EDDB tells me the nearest station is about 300 jumps forward. I reroute there. I'll be able to fix things up near the halfway point. I've spent my whole day on this at this point. The second half of my trip will be with a freshly fixed ship, and I'll do smaller stints (100 jumps a day for a week should work)

    The thought of the big payday when I sell my map data at this station gives me a second wind.

    I MAKE IT TO THE STATION!!!

    I'm here. I'm going to dock, get money for exploring 800 systems (many of which I fully mapped, and surface scanned high value planets.

    I request docking, I'm assigned platform 44. FINALLY. I can dock and call it a night. I'm so impatient.

    That's when it happened, I hit boost to get in the mail slot faster. I always do this. But I'm not in my sidewinder with 2E thrusters, I'm in a cobra with 4A thrusters that I've never used before. I go barreling into the back wall of the station

    Rebuy screen, mission failed, data lost, and 800 LY away from home.

    If you read all of this, thank you. This story is all I have to show for the close to 10 hours I put into this game on my day off.

    Now let's hear your story.

    Elite record set! Total distance travelled from Sol without a fuel scoop - 65,721 light years!

    o7 everyone! Some of you may remember me from a post I made a few months ago, announcing my arrival at Ishum's Reach, the farthest star from Sol, after crossing the entire galaxy without a fuel scoop equipped on my ship. Here's my initial post:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/myozz3/i_just_made_it_from_the_bubble_to_ishums_reach/

    ​

    At the time, I announced that I planned to go even farther - to firmly set a record for the longest linear distance travelled from Sol without a fuel scoop, by supercruising off the galactic edge beyond Ishum's Reach, into intergalactic space, and then successfully jumping back without getting stranded in the void. Well, I pulled it off, and I thought I would make another post about it. As far as I am aware, this is an Elite record for the longest distance anyone has ever travelled away from Sol without a fuel scoop.

    At the time, I guesstimated I would make it 90 light years beyond Ishum's Reach, but it turns out the max I could safely get was 74.1 light years (while being able to still jump back), which equates to 65,721 light years away from Sol system.

    Here is proof of my final distance from Sol:

    And proof of my final distance from Ishum's Reach:

    And proof I was able to jump back (sorry Fuel Rats!):

    Here's my logbook documenting each step of my journey across the galaxy, for those that are interested in reading it. I took some great screenshots along the way too:

    Bubble to Ishum's Reach Without a Fuel Scoop Logbook

    ​

    And some final stats on my overall journey across the galaxy:

    Total distance travelled without a scoop: 84,963.17 light years (due to an accidental detour, I didn't head straight for Beagle. It's a long story, I documented what happened in the logbook).

    Total linear distance from Sol without a scoop: 65,721 light years.

    Total length of time in supercruise beyond Ishum's Reach: Approximately 292 hours, or 12 days of supercruise travel.

    # of undiscovered Earthlike worlds I found on my journey: 10

    ​

    Thanks for reading about my crazy journey! o7!

    If you are at or near the limit for asset capacity, you are unable to trade assets with a bartender

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 02:23 PM PDT

    So I hit the asset cap. Went to a barkeep thinking, okay I'll trade the stuff I have loads of for some expensive stuff I don't have loads of.

    Basically, it looks like the inventory checks how much you have before the trade and if you have room for the stuff you'd receive from the trade without taking into account the number of assets you lose in the trade.

    And it won't let you do any trades if at any point in the trade you go over the cap, no regard for the end result.

    Basically means you have to sell stuff to trade stuff.

    Now I'm at one of the most remote places where the hunters won't find me. HOPEFULLY!!!
