There's a typo, sir. ... Bottom of the 'logue, sir. ... In the Edsodi entry, sir. ... '2084-193:18:37 docked.' ... Should be '2084-194', sir. Thank you, sir. <o

So there is. Well caught. Going to have to correct that.

If you want to optimise your travelogue a bit, I hope the following format with launch time might streamline things somewhat for you:
DDDD-DDD:HH:MM System Any other details and interesting occurrences.

Oh, that is an excellent suggestion. That's such a good suggestion that I'm kicking myself a bit for not doing it and it getting suggested. Started right away, and in fact went a bit overboard. You won't see that for a bit though, since the thread is a few sessions behind still.

...And then I realised, for proper accuracy, it should actually not be from launch to launch, but rather from dock to dock, because the game starts while you're docked.

Thankfully, case, your latest travelogue-entries include docking times as well. I'll update the spreadsheet accordingly, but, since we're looking at totals and averages, I don't think the difference will be all that noticeable.

... jus' sayin'.

Pretty sure we've been defaulting to docked the whole time actually. But by the time we get there it shouldn't make too much of a difference, no.

If anyone else wants to offer suggestions, I am happy to look for them on the side. Delivery contracts are great for getting me to run across the chart, but they're not so great for exploring.

1) if you get to G7, you must add in brand new The Assassin's Guild Rebooted! What it does to G7 is really rather wonderful. Lots of fascinating places to visit. Real Exploration in Oolite! I think that I might even now prefer it to G1...

2) I find that the Jaguar Company adds to my game and my immersion. Finding the Company and then getting friendly with them (by helping them in battle). Maybe add them for your next galaxy (Phkb has an updated version of this).

3) Are you using any of the Galaxy-hiding OXPs? Zero Map - Explore the galaxy or Here be Dragons
