Exploration Farm (50km Range Version) I

Description
THIS "Exploration Farm" is more of a "Derelict Probability Sampler" and employs the following method brought forth in the "Exploration Farm (No Saving)" workshop item located here: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=398301468

The probability results (an ongoing project) can be found here on Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w5mOXDcQvBF_zjZD3jtJwhyoZa17DLJIHAxW9LBvCTU/edit?usp=sharing

A discussion post with summary level details can be found here:

Mega-Ultra-Turbo (ludicrously fast) Methodology ("cheat city"):
Like the above method, create a world with an infinite 50km view-able distance world with low asteroid density, and get rid of (CTRL-X) your starting ship. Repeat the process of "jumping" ("/j <distance>") forward (I recommend 100,000km as it gives you an entirely "new hand") -AND- issuing the "/listships2" command. When you find a derelict in the "list" that you have yet to "explore", use "/tps <Ship Name>" teleportation command. I personally use this method to gauge the "rarity values" (probability) that the devs have set for each derelict.

So here is an example of what you'd do once it's just you in your suit with no ship:
Step 1: /listships2 (if you see a derelict you haven't explored/blue-printed GOTO Step 3)
Step 2: /j 100000 (GOTO Step 1)
Step 3: /tps <Ship Name> (exactly as it appears in the result of the /listships2 results page*)
Step 4: Do as you will at the ship/station's location (GOTO Step 1)

*-A tip for easily typing in the name exactly as it appears is to issue a "/listships" command (without the "2") and add a bit of a filter on that command line (like "/listships <part of the ship/station name>"). This will bring up a shortened version of the results page in the chat are so that you can easily type in the correct ship/station name for your "/tps <ship name>" command.

Resetting you position in the world to explore another direction:
Type in "/tp 0 0 0" to get back to the world's origin.

Using the above method you will find several unique batches of derelict ships EVERY minute.

Enjoy but use responsibly!
