I am currently in a fairly extensive exploration expedition and get to sell my bio data whenever I get within 1000 ly of a carier. (1000 is the magic number for me)
This time I had for 4 billions worth (incl bonus). I haven't sold any cartographic data yet as I'm saving it for someone who mayne can use it for bgs when I get back
Neutron routes are routes that lead you through neutrons stars. You can use them to super charge your FSD and do substantially longer jumps. My regular jump range is 52 ly but with a super charged FSD I can do 200ly.
If you use any third party programs, edjp can help you by calculating a route and actually adding the next destination into your clipboard so you only have to past it into the search field of your star map. You can also use the splansh website for planning the route itself
In regards to fleet cariers, there are loads of them spread out across the galaxy. If you are lucky, you can find one, dock on it and get off when they are closer to your destination. I believe that they have a 500 ly jump range.
Where are you currently located? Some areas have more traffic than others. Also if you feel like getting the most out of your trip through undiscovered space, feel free to join one of the many exploration minded groups. I am in one called EDEN. It is not as such a squadron but more a group of indipendemt explorers who just like flying alone in empty space but like sharing what they find with others who appreciate the finds.

Awesome! Thanks for the information. I'd have to log in to see where I am, which I can't do right now because we just moved and I haven't set my computer up yet. But I know I'm near where the profitable passenger routes are, according to the Internet. I flew out there to try to earn some quick credits, but I'm bored with that and want to get back over to where I started and get my Viper for some combat missions. I didn't actually make very many credits, since I don't have much rep with this faction yet. I can't get rep quickly without a combat ship. They don't sell any combat ships and equipment that I can afford near this system. So I'm kinda just stuck and bored, unless I can get my ships over here. I haven't played multiplayer yet. I'm not good enough to fight dedicated players and don't want to lose my ships that I jumped all over tarnation outfitting. It's a really neat game though, and I've probably spent 100 hours in VR flying around doing a variety of things.
