This is key to all long-range explorations, but for this journey, you will need it more than ever before. You have to understand that going on a trip to Beagle Point is willing to do thousands of FSD jumps, visiting thousands of stars/planets, scanning as much as you can, eventually stopping at some points on your route for advanced exploration or for collecting resources on planets. All this over the span of several weeks/months with the constant pressure of death (Be it to module malfunction, lack of attention or even crash on a high-gravity planet) out there in the black. Since this is a very tiring journey, you lose focus quicker than you may think, and before you realize it you will probably jump in a system & without enough fuel to jump anywhere out of it.

*'''Good exploration ship''' with optimized outfitting. See [[Explorer]] for recommendations. Just like any other long-range exploration, take all the necessary gear such as:

** [[Fuel Scoop]]

**[[Fuel Scoop]]

** A-grade [[~~FSD~~]] ~~module (Preferably engineered for extra jump range)~~

**A-grade [[Frame Shift Drive]] with [[Increased Range Frame Shift Drive|Increased Range]] [[Engineers|Engineering]] mod and [[Deep Charge]] or [[Mass Manager]] [[Experimental Effect]]

** [[~~Detailed Surface Scanner~~]]

**[[Guardian Frame Shift Drive Booster]]

** [[~~Advanced Discovery~~ Scanner]].

**[[Detailed Surface Scanner]]

** ~~Be sure to install as much~~ D-~~class~~ modules ~~(Aside from the FSD of course) as you can on your ship, since they will drastically improve your jump range as well. Shields are optional, though you might want to take them if you feel unsecure.~~

**D-rated modules with Engineering mods that reduce their mass where applicable

** [[FSD Injection]] ~~materials.''' '''You can collect them on~~ the ~~surface of various landable planets, and having FSD Injections help greatly if you run into what would be a dead end with your current FSD jump range.~~

**[[FSD Injection]] [[Materials]]

** ~~A guardian FSD booster. This will add to your max jump range~~

**At least one [[Auto Field-Maintenance Unit]] for emergency module repairs; two AFMUs is recommended, since this allows one AFMU to repair the other in the event either sustains damage

**[[Planetary Vehicle Hangar]] for planet exploration and Raw Material prospecting

* Aside from the common hazards of exploration, there is an area of the galaxy you should '''CAREFULLY '''be on the lookout for: [[The Abyss]]. It is located in the northern part of the Milky Way, in-between the Scutum-Centaurus & the Sagittarius-Carina arms. The Abyss is approximately 45,000 lightyears long, 2,000 lightyears wide and has '''extremely low''' star density, so low that it feels like staring at an abyss. Even with today's FSD technologies & upgrades, crossing the Abyss still proves to be an extremely difficult challenge.

* '''Manual plotting is highly advised!''' Trying to plot the route automatically might very often lead you in a dead end. You will want to look up guides/routes from other explorers as well. Be sure to carefully trace your route & pick as much scoopable stars as possible, because...
