Well I got out there 170 LYs away. And managed to get back home safe with a full crew and a little mined ore. The mechanics of the game make sense being able to fuel my ship for long range exploration is where my problem lies. Mining takes an eternity at the moment. Is it simply a case of time spent upgrading modules through science or is there another way of obtaining fuel?

Thanks for the welcome. First question of many I'm guessing. I've entered a system with an unknown event. If I navigate to it is there a chance I will end up way out in the black with not enough fuel to return home?

Greetings. I'm Tiberiusbaltar very new to this game and just completed my graduation course. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into some exploration missions and bumping into some other captains along the way.
