Here's what you do. Zoom out. Far faaaaar out. Pick a star, pop a huge fuel scoop on your ship and start traveling. Once you reach that star system, look in the systems around it. The galaxy in ED is truly and utterly humongous. There are still a lot of unexplored places. Also, don't forget the Y axis. Lots of people tend to forget that. Try to think outside the box. If something seems obvious, it probably seemed obvious to other explorers too.Quote:

Perhaps... but the consolation is that because of it being so far there won't be that many people partaking in it. Therefor, one trip is likely to get you within the Top 75%.Quote:

The trip there isn't that bad. It's the trip back that worries me.
You referring to the one out at Jaques station I assume? Yeah, that's around 22,000LY away.Quote:

I might actually got for this, I'm already a 1/4 of the way there.
Why can't i find a route there?

edit : oh fok, i guess that with my 10LY drive, an attempt to reach the 22,000LY destination is ... ambitious :(
lol.... yeah, could be doable but farking tedious and long. As mentioned previously, I would recommend a jump range of at least 20LY for anything over 1000LY distances.Quote:

Why is the enemy difficulty not tied to mission rank ?
