Did this happen in Jaques? Wow, thanks for the warning, I'll be sure to not look at outfitting as long as I'm docked there.

Yep, I was kinda hoping that the station would be stocked with nice exploration gear but nope.

If you can deal with slow-rear end ships, the Cutter works astonishingly well as exploration-ship. If you mod it like hell. Like the Anaconda, you'll just have to learn the drop-maneuver: If you see your target as a hollow ball on your alignment-radar, don't waste time with aligning in supercruise, just drop out, align in normal flight and re-enter supercruise.

Are you for real? What's the jump range on your exploracutter?

I still remember breaking my soul on the "seeking drugs" exploit, doing countless steroid runs to get my first Python, back when a 300k profit would appear almost gamebreaking :v:

I also remember 500 credit bounties

I'm heading back to the bubble, when I give an engineer exploration data (after I head over to Maia) do I get credits or is it just rep with the person?

Both. You're selling exploration data like normal, but doing it at the appropriate engineer will give you engineer rep as well.

Hahahah but even at the absolute max (50 lyr ish) it's only a difference of 12.5 lyr. And on top of that you've probably already have a route mapped and it's not like you're gonna chain neutron stars forever.

Some crazy guy on the forums already mapped out a neutron star road from the bubble to Jaques. Of course with a 25% boost that space highway will actually take longer, but eh, what are details like that worth if you're absolutely mental?
