I have arrived back in the Bubble and Purchased a new Krait Mk II named the Tuscan Explorer. Currently I am adding engineering to improve its speed and range, then I will start adding Guardian Technology to give it that extra edge, that will be needed out in the Rift. I am also re-reading the Lore of Wagar, so I can better understand what was found out there

Arrived at the DSSA station near the Zurara Mega ship today in Syreadiae JX-F c0 and was finally able to hand in all the credits to UC and get the ship fixed up.

I have decided to temporarily suspend the Formidine expedition and fly back to the Bubble to try a Krait MkII with all the possible engineering and Guardian tech built on to it. I definitely need more speed at low altitude that the Anaconda can possibly provide and it will make site landings so much easier because of its compact size.

It has been a long day with 385 jumps over 5.7KLY but I am now back in the Inner Orion Sector and 50 jumps from the first station selling a Krait. Hopefully, I will be able to get there tomorrow and start the build process and the relevant engineering.

Another quiet day with the noted fact that I have now passed 100,000 LY of travel on my quest to solve the mysteries of the universe. at this milestone I have decided to log star system visits on a weekly basis instead of daily as it is just a mass of confusing figures, This will be on a Sunday as normal. I suspect that by the time I have reached the next station at HYPUA-HYPOO FV-F C27-0 I will have visited over 5,000 star systems since I first entered my Sidewinder 4 years ago.

A quiet day of exploring today with just short of 1000 light years covered and 105 jumps made. 97 of those systems were new in EDSM. 153 new stars charted and 740 new planets out of totals of 160 and 741 respectively.

Still 3KLY from the next base, but I am not in any hurry.

2 Stellar screenshots sent out today from Yesterday's exploration and got a couple of likes, which was nice.

Not so much time available for exploration today, so only 46 jumps today, forty of which were into new undiscovered systems spread over 834 light years. Alot of empty systems found today with no planetary bodies. Alot of these were around red dwarf stars (M class). One GAL body found and one WW, but nothing much to write home about, however my total flight hours has now topped 800 and I am fast approaching 100,000 LY travelled. I did spend some time a planet in the Spaidue GF-R c4-2 system. there were some nice photographic spots available with the star setting over a red valley.

104 stars and 536 planets recorded today. Currently in a void of dark stars with only icy planets and the occasional gas giant. 43 of the stars recorded today were L, T or Y brown dwarves all with consecutive numbers, E.g. Tyroosks GU-L a117-0/a116-0/a115-0. A bit weird I guess, but must be travelling on the same line used by the surveyors and their telescopes all those years ago! Approximately 5KLY before next docking.

Long stint today, but then it is a weekend. 91 jumps made covering 1,302 LY through 105 newly charted system in EDSM. 153 stars charted today including 3 red giants. 748 planets charted which is a one day record for this survey.

End of week values@:

2 B class, 17 A class, 36 F class, 36 G, 116 K, 271 M, 5 M red giants, 86 L, 40 T, 12 Y class brown Dwarves and 21 T Tauri, totalling 643 stars charted

FOr Planets: 86 MR, 690 HMC, 244 Rocky, 156 RI. 1887 icy, 3 ELW, 38 WW, 5 Ammonia, 21 GWL, 12 GAL, 107 S1, 16 S2, 31 S3 and 1 s4, Totalling 3,224 worlds.

I am pleased with progress so far, still heading for the main station in the rift to get the ship repaired and hand in the first set of data which will be sometime next week.

64 jumps today covering 1208 LY. 38 New system in EDSM discovered.

108 stars catalogued and 589 planets.

Nothing special discovered today as i work my way across the rift to the nearest space station to continue the repairs to the hull after my run in with a high grav. planet the other day.

Long haul today across through around 80 systems to a Fleet carrier in Dryoi Hypa ZV-X c17-0 only to find it does not accept dockings from anyone! If it was not for mapping my way there, I would have considered it a complete waste of time.

The problem is that you do not know if you are welcome at a carrier until you get there. which is a pain in the neck.

As it was, 158 stars were mapped including a codex entry for a M class red giant and 736 planets including 2 newly discovered ELW, 13 water worlds and 2 ammonia worlds. Also codex entry for a Class IV gas giant.

58 stars and 278 planetes chatarted today and nothing special to show for it except a busted up hull whilst trying to land on a 2g world to investigate some anemones. Now heading for a carrier for some repairs, mapping as I go and hoping it is still there when I arrive as it is 3.5KLy away.
