I’m going to take the Distant Worlds route to Beagle Point. Any suggestions for places to add along the route? I intend on taking a LOT of time with this and would like to make a video when I am done.

Ever since a good friend of mine got me into this game I've been wanting to do some exploring in my Diamondback. I've been around on his carrier, and I've seen a few of the places near the bubble. I think I'd love to fly along the Distant Worlds route on my way to Elite Explorer since I've done some things but not enough to get there.

I figured I would ask the community for suggestions on their favorite things to see that are either along the route or close enough that I could drop in and see it (let's say 2k light-years at the most?). My diamondback has a good setup, it has multi-weave shielding, enough scanning equipment to grab mats where I need them, and small cargo space for special pickups, I've kitted it out to last as long as I can. I didn't go for the stripped-down version, I decided if I'm going around this route, I'd plan to have a good fuel tank balanced with a decent scoop FSD Booster and things like that. I'm in no rush, and really enjoy the exploration options in ED since I came from EvE Online which I enjoyed, but never really felt like an Explorer and ended up being more of an Arms Dealer. This game has come really far from what I can tell, and I'd like to travel the routes set out by past Commanders, with some updated sites to see from Current commanders as well.

I really enjoy the engineering in this game, tinkering with parts and doing what works for me shines here. I really enjoy having a ship I can modify without having to go too detailed with the manufacture of all parts.

These are my current ranks, I'm sure they could be a bit higher but what can you say from someone who spends most of their time being ferried around on a Carrier? Its time to leave the nest!

I really wish I was able to see the older animation in real time, but this one is pretty cool too. However, its not as cool as a Jump Gate in EvE online! Still, I wouldn't trade this for all the missiles in LoneTrek.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what kinds of stuff I can do with the camera.

My Diamondback isn't 100% Engineered, and I am sure I could make the trip on less. I tend to spend a lot of time playing in the small sandbox before I jump into the big oceans.

Thanks in advance, and nice to meet you, Commanders.
Sparky.
