When I crossed The Abyss Region to Beagle Point, it wasn't that difficult. I had an easy time of finding stars within my jump range.
For the trip home, I decided to head over to Colonia then go back to the bubble. Crossing that end of The Abyss Region was much more difficult! I spent many minutes checking jump ranges across multiple star systems, only to find I would be in a dead end. Route calculations had to be done multiple times to find my way through.
In this photo you'll notice that the ship is showing a lot of bare metal. Long rang travel is hard on a ship! It's the fuel scooping that does it; that heat from stars' atmospheres burns the paint off over time. I also knew my ship's structure was slowly getting beat down, even though I couldn't see it.
