After I equiped and engineered my "Crotalus Adamanteus" with everything needed, it was ready for a test run. In order to get a next EDSM badge (Formidine Rifter) I decided to visit EAFOTS sector. Fortunately I discovered "The Formidine Rift Sightseeing Run" guide on the EDSM and yesterday I moved to Flaming Star Logistics Centre on Flaming Star Sector LX-T b3-0. The journey can begin.

Tried to kill a Thargoid Interceptor on Bungarus Candidus (Krait Mk. II) and classic AX weapons. Canopy breached after 3 minutes and Tharg was still by 95%...

Not a priority for the moment, but will probably fit Eunectes for this task or Balaena. Or simply will buy another Cutter.

After almost 6 years I achieved Elite in Combat. So I am triple Elite now.

There is only 10% left - 160 Thargoid Scouts

Killing "Small Flowers of Death" is meanwhile a routine. Each 16 kills is one percent in combat progress, what makes possible to reach the Elite status by the end of October.

Today I scanned a Cyclop end retrieved the Thargoid Cyclops Tissue Sample.

Joined a community goal "Repel Thargoid Attack in the Witch Head Nebula".

After some initial troubles (wrong setting of turreted weapons) seems that killing Thargooid Scouts is relatively easy. What cannot be said about killing the Interceptors. I tried to fight with the Swarm but killed only two of them. My systems failed three or four times. Afterwards my hull was at 19%, during rescue jump I got "hyperdicted" by two another Interceptors. Once again everything is out and one can only pray to be able to fly again..

Last few days I was busy gathering materials for engineering.

I did two runs. In first I visited Jameson Crash site at HIP 12099 1b and crashed Anaconda at Koli Discii C 6a

In second run I visited "Bug Killer" crashed Anaconda at HIP 16613 1a, Dav's Hope at Hyades Sector DR-V c2-23 A 5, and Rare Earth Riches at HIP 36601 and Outotz LS-K D8-3.

Both Dbx and Krait Phantom revealed itself as very good vessel for this tasks. For second run I used two Vehicle Hangars carrying six SRVs. Actually one hangar with four SRVs would be enough, when refuelling. Small hangar with two SRV only could be risky - I almost had to destroy one SRV and I prefer to have reserves.

How one knows he was too long in Colonia? After returning to bubble he finds out that all engineered modules on ships are marked as "legacy" engineering on Inara. :)

After fleet inspection I have returned to daily business, currently working on permit to Alioth System

I finally reached Bubble. The journey was really pleasant and the new invention - the FFS is really great.
