(Diamondback Explorer)
A crashed alien ship has just been discovered - so of course I had to fly out to see. The location of the crash site is on Pleiades Sector AB-W b2-4 9 a at -26.336/97.708
It's quite a spooky thing, obviously organic, and very, very alien!
The final waypoint was the LBN 623 Sector FW-W d1-100 system with a great view of the LBN 623 Nebula.
Close to where I landed, I noticed there was a nearby flat ledge where quite a few ships could land with a view over the surrounding landscape.
This is actualy quite close to the bubble - it was only six jumps to the Sothis system, famous for well-paying missions back to the bubble.
From there it was just another few hours flying to get to the official completion waypoint for the expedition - back where we started - Epsilon Indi.
The penultimate return waypoint was California Sector BQ-Y d35.
The California Nebula was close enough to provide light on the 'dark side' of the moons in the system.
I decided to stop for the night here in the red twilight.
The next waypoint was the Flaming Star Emission Nebula. The official waypoint system for my return route was Flaming Star Sector GW-W c1-5.
Nothing special, just another one of the blue-purple 'butterfly' nebulae.
The first planned waypoint of the return trip was the Trifid of the North system.
The blue-purple nebula is a lot like other blue-purple nebulas in the game. This is the view from the Flaming Star Sector GW-W c1-5 system.
Close gas giants are always good for a photo.
Two days later I found a pair of Water Worlds in the Slegao TG-X c17-0 system - "AB 1" and "AB 2".
After three days at the Crab Nebula, I decided it was time to head home.
On my second day travelling, I found my first undiscovered Earth-Like World for the trip: Qiedeau BR-U d3-15 4.
In the same system, on Qiedeau BR-U d3-15 1 a, I spent some time driving the SRV around. This part of the world (48.6290/-7.6622) was a distinctive two-tone colour.
At last, the Crab Nebula was just a few jumps away.
The final waypoint, WP10 "Crab Stadium", was on Crab Sector IH-V c2-3 A 11 a at -28.99/-36.00.
Barnard's Loop is still visible against the galaxy, even at this distance.
I'll spend a few days here before heading home.
WP9 "Last Chance Saloon" was on Monkey Head Sector KC-V c2-3 1 at -18.00/47.06.
Large in the sky was the Monkey Head Nebula.
Next stop - the Crab Nebula, the expedition destination.
WP8 "Sierra's Ridge" was on Jellyfish Sector DL-Y d50 7 b at 73.67/26.25.
This meetup site was close to the Jellyfish Nebula.
