I decided to take on the Fantastically Frigid Trip to Trifid Expedition. It was amazing! I took a ton of images and made some new discoveries.

Thank you to CMDR IkerzTheMonke for putting together this expedition and for Sidewinder Syndicate for hosting.

Total Flight: 22,142.60 ly (I missed two spots on accident and needed to go back) Total New Discoveries: 12 systems, 9 bodies mapped ( 7 water and 2 earth-like)

I now want to go exploring more! What will I do next!

I have been busy unlocking a bunch of different engineers. I now have most of them on my radar. I just need to make a couple of them happy before I can visit them.

Since my Star Destroyer can now jump 78LY, I think i will slow down on engineering. I might try doing a short expedition or see if I can make another 2 billion to purchase a carrier. I'll make the decision before the new year.

Not my favourite thing to do.... but being a pirate was really simple.... just a little dangerous.

I was fuel scooping in the LH114 system with a full load of landmines when ANOTHER PIRATE tried to steal them from me.... Let's just say that I lost control and steered right into the star. Thankfully, my computer dropped me out of supercruise before I collided with the star! He did not follow me in so I was able to finish fueling and jump to the next system.

Now that she is unlocked, I will try to become friends with her.... but it might take awhile....

Once she is unlocked, my next engineer will be Hera Tani.

In my haste..... I forgot engineering. One of the reasons I wanted to go out to Colonia is to grab the engineers that are out there.... but I forgot to unlock them first. So now I had to take the long way back to the Sol bubble. I have just arrived at my destination. Hopefully it wont take me too long to unlock these engineers.

I decided it was time to add my name to a new discovery. During my travels, I have mostly stayed within the Sol bubble. My first voyage outside was to Eagle's Landing. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the company of a few other commanders. Little did I know that I had opened up the flood gates to something that I truly enjoyed.

Since then, I started dreaming about making the jump to Colonia. So I strapped in my comfy Anaconda chair and plotted a course. After many jumps I finally reached my destination. It was different than what I was expecting. Very busy for being so far away from Sol. It was a nice new environment. The sad part is that I did this trip alone. My friends and family were still in Hanggardi. So I stayed in the Colonia area for awhile and then plotted my trip back to the Sol bubble.

I decided to take a different route so that I could get some different sites! Boy was it a lot of fun. I ran into a few new obscure objects that I had never seen before. When I got close to them, my ship's sensors started going crazy. It scared me to be honest. I jumped out as soon as I could!

Anyway, I made it back to Hanggardi in one piece! I made a fair bit of cash on the way back AND made some new discoveries! But I realized there was one thing that I did not find in my travel to Colonia or Eagle's Landing: a black hole. After many restless nights searching through the galaxy map, I finally found one! It was only 19,548 LY away..... Well, I did the trip to Colonia alone. I can do this trip as well!

So I set out on my adventure! Boy was it spectacular. I discovered some really amazon places. Nothing as crazy as Heaven's Lathe, but still very interesting places! Now I am back at Colonia.... deciding where I will be going next!
