It's been a long time since my last log.

I'm writing this as I hover above an A-class star, on the edge of the Formidine Rift. This is the furthest I've gone, and I don't intend to go further out this way. After this log is posted, I will be making my way to my final destination, the Bubble Nebula. It's one step towards home, and I'm practically crossing the entirity of the Elysian Shore by doing so. I had considerations that maybe I should stay out in the deep black, but I realised that if I returned home, I could upgrade my ship to an even higher jump range that's on par with an Anaconda! I have the credits - 56 million in my bank so far - and I can gain more on the way home too. Thinking on increasing from 35 LY to 70 LY. Jesus Christ, and that would get me to the Bubble Nebula in half the damn time it'll take to get home too. I really shouldnt've upgraded a B-class FSD, but I was so desperate to get out and explore.

I really won't like the journey home, especially with the constant map-checking back-and-forth because my outdated navigator isn't equipped to properly optimise my routes, but it's whatever, that's what I get for not going back home in so long. Suppose I can't complain much though, there's some people on the other side of the galaxy.

Oh right, and according to the notes I last left myself, my hardpoints are at the Hind Nebula. Not that I need them anymore, I'm dropping hardpoints in favour of jump range. I kinda miss the bubble, but at the same time, I don't.

Signed into Galnet today, heard the news about terrorist attacks on imperial starports. Checked my map, a few damaged starports. I wanted to go visit Witch Head today, but the lives of citizens in danger are more important. I'll be heading back to Lembava to retrieve my Dolphin, equip it with a heatsink launcher and get going. Nebulas can wait, it's only sightseeing after all.

I will be going back to the Hind nebula when it's over, I love this place so much.

A lot has happened since my last log. I got a new ship, upgraded it so the point where I can jump almost 30 LY. It's amazing.

I've decided to go on a journey to visit all nearby nebulas. Currently I'm almost in Sanguineous Rim, not my intention but I might pop over there. It'll be the first time I've ever left the Inner Orion Spur.

But, yes. Nebulas. This is to log my successes.

Where I have been:

• Pleiades
• Taurus Dark Region
• LBN 623?
• California Nebula
• NGC 1333 Nebula (2MASS J03291977+3124572 is a mouthful, but it's worth a trip. Here, only 10,000 people live and work in deep space mining. Also, it orbits a B star.)
• Hind Nebula

Where I really want to go:

• Veil Nebula West
• Barnard's Loop
• Spirograph Nebula (O-Type Star!)
• Bubble Nebula

My current path:

• Witch Head
• Running Man
• Orion
• Barnard's Loop
• Flame
• Horsehead
• Orion Dark Region

Where I am right now:

• EES2009 PERSEI J03286006+3122826. Wish me luck.
