But somehow I’d missed marking one of them, and made an extra boost jump that left me without enough germanium to make the last few jumps of the trip. Each jump takes two vanadium and one germanium, and I had something like six jumps worth with only four jumps required to get back down again, so I took a detour to check out another cluster of systems.
I’d been taking screenshots to mark down all the boosted jumps I had to make to continue on my journey, so that I’d know which points were the key passages I had to use to get back down. I think that was to make a 33.82ly jump, when my max boosted range was 33.94. And I had to make a few of those low-fuel jumps, one of them an FSD-injected one. Something like 27.92 max jump range with no fuel. I’m in a Diamondback Scout, with two scanners, SRV hangar and no shields. I’d had to use a couple of FSD injections to make some of the slightly longer jumps. Eventually got to the actual point of max height with my current setup, so went to make my way back. I managed to get about 200ly higher than I was to begin with, or so. But just as I was starting to explore the nearby systems and start to head back down, I managed to find some systems that were within reach despite not being marked by a route line on the map. I’d been trying to get as high above the bubble as possible, and had pretty much gotten about as high as I could go. Jumped back on Elite last night, to continue my exploration journey. Got some ridiculously good goals, and was doing all sorts of awesome headers and stuff and even managed a bicycle kick at one point. And even more surprising with Rocket League. Gross.ĭid surprisingly well with Smash considering how long it’s been since I last played. And got black feet from sooty verandah, thanks to the house being right next to the highway. Spent the weekend down in Wollongong with Wingman and co, sat around eating chips and playing games. Ended up out every night except Wednesday.
The two recent Marvel TV series (Daredevil and Jessica Jones) are excellent though, you might want to try them. Not a big TV series person – my spare time goes to anime & games, rarely to TV stuff. Other than that I tend to use it for movies.
Don’t watch Ancient Aliens though, it’ll make your brain cells fall out. Some stuff which is quite entertaining but complete shit involving pseudo-archeology or cryptozoology or the like. They also have a ton of pulpy stuff that would normally be on Discovery or the ‘History’ Channgel, like Myth Hunters and so on. It’s very, very dry so great for sitting in the background. There’s some fantastic Ken Burns documentary series on Netflix which are great for putting on when you don’t want to pay attention to the screen as much and are doing something else, like the ironing for example. Nova is inspired by BBC’s Horizon series which is basically the same thing, but Horizon is IMO even better. I don’t know about the AU range, but the US one has a bunch of documentaries from Nova, which is a PBS general science show that has a bunch of interesting documentaries. Good to sort of half pay attention to when sleepy and good to put on in the background. Like I watch a ton of documentaries on Netflix.
