even with an exploration-tailored fleet you see a lot of this (objective at the very edge of the larger "one way trip" circle)
(again, this is 175% normal map size)
i like it, all these distant expeditions you're following now actually *feel* far away, like they probably had stages and anchorages

playing with the upsized map (175% size) really forces you to think about your movement
like, this is 4:1 supports per warship and the range quickly dwindles if you start surveying every system you touch
"make your own slipstream from a black hole" very quickly became my new best friend

oh and we got a beautiful colony system, within easy reach of the core
finding the optimal planet for a nanoforge is gonna be a bit tricky but it's pretty perfect other than that

then again i have a *very* survey/salvage/treasure-hunt oriented fleet rn — lucked into the capital-sized exploration platform
several ships hyper-specialized for exploration; if i see a sub-ordo there's a 60% chance i just gotta hoof it

had to kill a nexus for it (oof. 30 minutes of aiming reapers into little shield gaps while trying not to flux out), but i think i got my 👨🍳👌 colony system
this one right here with the ancient research facility and religious sites
a rich cryovolcanic
a boring no-atmosphere rock (for the Synchro)

the capture fleet (cap ship orange bars are old; all the little ships' orange bars are from getting sacrificed in this fight)
key is to manual-pilot the harbs to "pin it down"
(also that white thing is gratuitously OP and i honestly have no idea how it ended up on a random world's black market)

one of the mods i'm running overtunes the "[redacted]" and then gives you some neat tech payoffs for fighting them
i managed to score a beat-up Apollyon (from the VIC mod) on the black market, and Degraded Life Support made this thing a logistical nightmare (you get skeleton crew size > max crew)…

updated since i last played? the starsector pronouns are now "sir," "ma'am," and "captain" ("brother," "sister," and "walker" if you follow ludd)
imo this one (from one of the portrait packs) has some really good "captain" energy
