Time for home! (Sort of)

Nearly had a disaster last night. Having a late session after a few drinks, lapse in concentration and accelerated into a neutron star! Worst of the damage was a "canopy compromised" message, that was scary! Got lots of cracks in my canopy now, it's like crazy paving.Power plant is 90%, hull 92%, all other modules 100% thanks to my AFMUs, one of which is now out of ammo.
So it's time to head home.... still flying through the neutron fields so still picking up the odd black hole & neutron star, but I'm making max-range jumps back towards habitable space. Just under 21k light years to go, as of this morning, so around 700 jumps more.
Picked up a nice system this morning, containing Earth-like, Water world and a terraform candidate metal rich. That should be good for the bank balance!
Just wondering now how much this trip will be worth. I've currently got around 12 & a half million in exploration bonus's, but that was for a few much smaller trips. I've also picked up quite a lot of good stuff this time so I'm hoping it'll be worth plenty of credits and maybe even a promotion.
Just got to be extra careful now to get back in one piece and collect the cash!!!
