The system I spent the night in last night turned out to be a complete bust as far as seeking exobiology goes. First of all, it was extremely repetitive across the entire system, everything was the same. But the worst part was I could not find the Tussock anywhere on half of the planets, and I spent several hours looking. All I could find everywhere I turned was Frutexa. Needless to say, the most enjoyment I found in today was breakfast and that's about it. On the upside though, I still did find several exobiologicals and got many samples so, it wasn't a complete waste, I mean, credits were made and I moved on. Just a few jumps left to go.

I had only two or three jumps left on my route before I realized I needed to either call the carrier forward or I need to long jump back to her. After I reached the end of my route at a white dwarf, I considered parking the carrier in the white dwarf system, but I decided to hop over to a main sequence K class star a few light years away instead and find a nice planet or moon to place the carrier for a day or two before moving her again. I found a planet six light seconds away from the star and called in for the jump then waited for the carrier to arrive. Once she arrived, I docked and sold off my cartographic data and then disembarked and headed into Vista Genomics to sell off the exo data and then get cleaned up and eat.

After dinner, I went to my office on the command deck where there were reports spread out on my desk needing approvals and signatures plus a few duty rosters that needed looking over.. Those damn reports and rosters are just going to have to sit there a while longer, I can't wait to hit that comfortable bed once again. I'm tired and that 'management work' isn't going anywhere..

CMDR Bullet out..

I am still scouting ahead of the carrier in economical jump mode and wow, I am encountering a lot of exobiology along the way so far. I really haven't made much progress as far as distance goes but I am sure racking up the exobio from first discovery/footfall worlds. I'm certainly NOT complaining about that!. I'm looking forward to my visit back to the carrier when I can turn in all this data to Vista Genomics and see just how many credits I actually made. Like yesterday, I have made only nine jumps today using economical jumps but have found 14 exobiologicals today.

I am currently camped out on Dryooe Prou ZN-T D3-1738 planet 4 D. This world has 5 exobiologicals on it which I located and scanned before I called it a day. Tomorrow I will visit the remaining five planets that have exobiology on them before I leave this system and continue exploring on ahead of the carrier. Hopefully more exobio awaits ahead to be found and cataloged, in fact I'm sure of it. There is a little part of me tugging away, trying to convince me to make that long and arduous trip back to the bubble to visit the newly permit unlocked HIP 87621 to sample and catalogue the newly discovered exobiology on one of the four planets in the system but that would be very time consuming.. The only redeeming factor that trip would have would be is all the new universal Cartographic data and Vista Genomic data I could potentially pick up along the way and back. I still have just less than two weeks to think it over. I could potentially be there in a day or two.

So, tomorrow I'm going to have my entire morning full with this system and its exobiology to sample so I need to get a good night of rest tonight. A simple dinner is in order after getting cleaned up. Time to end this log entry here.

CMDR Bullet out..

It got just too late to return to the carrier and so I decided to just camp out again for the night tonight. This system had three worlds each with three exobiological signatures on each so, I made it my mission to find them all today. And find them I did. On each of the three planets, remarkably enough, were the identical same three species of exobiology too, only the colors were different, more than likely due to the different atmospheres, pressures and temperatures. The odds of that happening seem to be rather high when you think about it but when you take into consideration the fact that it occurred within the same system, the odds probably even out quite a bit. I just don't know but it's very interesting.

I'll try to get an early start tomorrow and get a move on. My plan is still to use economical jumps to maximize my chances at finding exobio. It seems to be working quite well so far, I just don't want to get burnt out on the constant brain rattling of the SRV whilst looking for elusive species in rocky mountainous terrain. It does get old after a while. You just can't beat the cash flow though, at least that's what I keep telling myself. Okay, time to end this log entry, get cleaned up, some food in me and relax a bit.

Today I moved the carrier 427 light years from one white dwarf system to another white dwarf system. The last system had a nearby planet to park next to which offered a beautiful view of the A star's majestic wings but not this time. The view is still pretty amazing, however. From here, I will once again scout ahead in search of interesting worlds, systems and stars. I am so fortunate I am able to do this, not only for a living, but simply for fun and pleasure, if I choose to do so.

A quick search of this system revealed one planet with a large icy ring but, further investigation revealed absolutely no hotspots of any kind whatsoever. I'm curious as to just what the ring contains in general. I may just fly out here in the T-11 and mine for an hour or so and see what the Icy asteroids contain before I move out ahead of the carrier once again to scout out a new interesting location to move the carrier once again.

I do believe I've settled on a plan then. That sounds like a good plan after a hearty breakfast. I'll mine the ring for an hour or so, come back for the Mandalay and scout ahead and then move the carrier if there is time. Hopefully find some interesting exobiology along the way. We'll see how this plan actually goes.

I finally made it back to the carrier today after a long day of jumping with a moderate amount of exobiology thrown in for good measure. I was still using the economical jump routing today which provided me with a wealth of exobiology to scan. I am sure glad I did too as I am well on my way to recovering the cost of the carrier now as I thought I would be. The first thing I did when I got back on board the Silbergeschoss was turn in my Universal Cartographics data and then I headed over to Vista Genomics to hand in my exobiology data but, I was so tired and hungry, I decided to do that tomorrow.

I made my way to my room and got cleaned up and into a fresh set of clothes. After that I went to the bar and got some food and something to drink as I was half starved. The carrier is parked in a white dwarf system orbiting a planet only 24 light seconds away and the views are downright scaringly amazing. The system that I am in is, Eol Prou ND-A D14-692. I probably won't be here much longer but it's a great system to hang out with your carrier for a while anyway and take in the view.

At this point, I'm not sure what direction I want to go. I've made the Tir to the center and back twice now in the Mandalay alone. Now that I have the carrier, I really can go wherever I want without restriction. I may just start to head toward Beagle point in less traveled space and discover what is out there, unseen and untouched by anyone, at least for a while. Perhaps I should wait on that plan for the Caspian. Oh, and the rumor I heard about the exobio discovery, well, I guess there is always my next log entry..

CMDR Bullet out..

Today I had an extraordinary exobiology day. I made a total of forty-six exobioligical discoveries today in only eight jumps for the day. To say it was extraordinary I believe is an understatement, incredible is more like it. I don't think I've ever found that many exobios in one day. I am on my way back to my carrier using economical jump routing and am encountering an amazing number of extremely rich exobio worlds along the way. I am sure glad I decided to switch to economical jump routing or else I would have missed them all! What would have been only one jump to the carrier has turned into two days now and possibly a third or more depending on if I find even more exobio along the way. Fingers crossed I'll find more.

So, I woke again on an alien world with exobiology to scan first thing. It just kept getting better from there. To say I had a lot of SRV time today would be an understatement. But I really don't mind when I think of all the credits that will bring in being that all of today's discoveries were made on first footfall worlds as well. That will certainly help out with the carrier budget too so, no complaints there either. I also took a chance on a world with two exobio signatures thinking they would be Bacterium and Fonticula but to my surprise it turned out to be bacterium and Stratum Tectonica instead. I may have been able to predict that if I had checked the atmosphere type beforehand but, I rarely do..

Alright, I think I have sixteen or so more jumps before I reach the Silbergeschoss where I will turn in all this accumulated data and then head out again. I will also set a destination for the carrier as well in fact, I may just ride the carrier and then set out for more exploration adventure. I'll talk about the latest I've been hearing about a possible new exobio discovery in my next log entry perhaps.

CMDR Bullet out..

And once again I ran out of time during my scouting mission today due to so many exobiology discoveries. It seems as though I'm making up for yesterday's dry spell. Tonight, I even landed on a world that has four exobiology signatures on it that I was too tired to even try and locate one before crashing out for the night. So, I have my work cut out for me tomorrow and this system has three more worlds with exobiology on them so, I have my morning cut out for me. I'll be bringing a fat paycheck back to the carrier tomorrow if I don't get held up with more systems like this one, rich in exobiology.

I made twenty-two jumps today and according to the data, all but one was a first discovery for me. the only system that wasn't a first discovery for me was a lone neutron star. I discovered two other neutron stars though along with three white dwarves, three brown dwarves and thirteen main sequence stars. All very interesting indeed.

The Caspian explorer has been on my mind since I've heard about it and it's reported capabilities. The more I think about what it's being touted as being capable of doing, the more I think I want it but, not for exploration purposes. That ship has, at least for me, a greater value in another area that I may speak of in another log entry later on. One thing is certain, I will own one. And with that, it's time to wrap up this log entry.

CMDR Bullet out..

I am camping again tonight. I am doing a little scouting, and I found a previously undiscovered white dwarf system with a planet orbiting just 23 light seconds away from a white dwarf, so I decided to move the carrier to that planet for some beautiful views of the white dwarf wings and beautiful they are. The system that my carrier is currently in is Eol Prou ND-A d14-692 and the planet it is orbiting at 23 light seconds from the white dwarf is AB 1. I also chose this system because it has a gas giant with an icy ring containing a few tritium hotspots, so I decided to top off the carrier's fuel tank as well with the T-11.

After topping the tritium tank in the carrier, I continued to scout ahead in hopes of finding some first footfall worlds with exobio on them to further fund my ongoing personal mission, explore the black. I stumbled through several main sequence stars with very few hits, if any. Mostly worlds with only one exobio signatures. I have relaxed my limit and decided that I would land for two signatures if they showed up and they did. The last system and this system that I'm camping in tonight, system Dryooe Prou GP-A d796.

I've heard tale of a new exploration ship becoming available very soon, it will be called a Caspian Explorer, and it will be a large ship with quite a jump range I hear. I also hear it can utilize the neutron star supercharges quite effectively in reading. I'm actually not sure what good that would be other than to traverse vast distances extremely quickly but in my mind, you'd be skipping over everything worth looking at. Now if you're in a hurry to get somewhere, I can understand but to call it an explorer is a bit odd, but I guess it works. So, I suppose I'll have to get it when it comes out, you know how it is, I'm a sucker for that sort of stuff.

I am, once again, trying to move out ahead of the carrier in search of a nice place to park for a day or two before we move on toward the center of the galaxy. I was hoping to find a little exobiology along the way today after yesterday, but I came up with a big goose egg, sadly. Yesterday, I found two worlds with exobio on them, one with seven and one with four. I found all seven and called it a day. Today I finished up the last four before continuing the rest of the day's journey, but I don't count that as part of today's exobio.. I count that as yesterday's exobio.. The only good thing that came of today was finding a really nice location to park the carrier for a day or two.

The last system I visited today had a beautiful earthlike world in it with just about the exact same mass and gravity as our own good ol' Earth back at Sol. It really was a sight to see. The system is, Eol Prou GJ-E B27-28 and it is planet B 5. If you are ever in the area, go check it out.. All kidding aside.

Anyway, about a half an hour later, the Silbergeschoss was in a parking orbit around the beautiful earthlike world, and I was docked and downloading my Universal Cartographics data and Vista Genomics data. It was good to be back aboard the carrier. After getting cleaned up, I ate a hearty meal and kicked back awhile before taking a load off and passing out in my comfy bed. I'll look over the carrier department reports tomorrow..

CMDR Bullet out..

I am moving out ahead of my carrier, the Silbergeschoss, in hope of finding an interesting system to park in for a few days before continuing on toward wherever it is I decide to go. My destination was a neutron star system only six jumps away in my Mandalay and I thought I'd be there in no time. I didn't count on finding so much exobiology on the way, and on first footfall worlds at that! Needless to say, I didn't make it to my destination. I spent way too much time chasing down exobio, not that I'm complaining.. I just finished up finding an elusive Osseus Pellebantus on world Eol Prou CF-Q D5-306 ABCD 1 G. That was just one of seven for this world. The last world had four exobios for a total of eleven I located so, that pretty shot my day all to hell, not that I'm complaining, like I said..

So, once again, I get to camp out for the night. I rather like that. I think I'm going to do this scout and camp thing a lot more often when moving the carrier. That way I get the best of both worlds, after all I love camping, but I do love the comfort of the carrier too.

Dinner will be something hot and delicious and a couple of imported beers to go with it after I get cleaned up. Then I'll get caught up on some news and then sack out for the evening. that's about it, nothing more to report that I can think of..
