When you forego scanning and mapping every body you come upon, you can still make a decent credit just by being the first to discover the stars. I wasn't getting those first discoveries. I don't know why Hawking's Gap was proving to be so heavily explored, but apparently it's a popular destination for a lot of commanders!
One thing I've learned in my 9 months of exploring the galaxy is that most commanders fly close to the galactic plane (zero on the Y axis). So to get off of the beaten trail, I went "down" to -150 light years. I then scrolled across to the other end of the region, found a star sitting near the -99 LY mark and plotted a course to that. Now I'm passing through undiscovered systems, except for the odd one here and there.
I found a very interesting little body to camp on for the night. This area had multiple meteor strikes, giving it a very rugged landscape.
