On The Road Again

Got on the road again. I decided to fly downward and then away from Beagle Point a little first before looping around. On my way I noticed I would be passing near the California Nebula. I checked, just like the Elephant's Trunk Nebula, there was an inhabited system at its core. This one was on a planet. I decided to stop off so I could sell my data to UC since they wouldn't buy it from my at Ceos. This base was on a planet. Grabbed some quick repairs, sold my data and was back on my way. I made over $8.1mil sell the data. After leaving the California Nebula I decided to go further down and then turn and head toward NGC 7822 Nebula. I had seen it during my first run to the Elephant's Trunk and it piqued my curiosity. I saw on some forums that it contains several black holes so I thought that would be cool to check out. I didn't have a lot of time to fly but I did get 20 jumps out at Outorst RJ-M B48-0, which is 2192LY from Sol and 66573LY from BP. I'm feeling good again after stumbling out of the gates. I did notice that I am scanning fewer planets than before. Previously if my weak scanner would pick up a couple of close planets I'd snag them during my layover. Now if there are many planets on the honk, including close ones, I will just skip them all unless its a water or ELW.

The Journey Ends (Did I Leave the Toaster On?)

Morale... is low. A while after leaving GM Cephei, I started noticing what looked like planets around suns in multi-star systems that were far enough away that I didn't want to drive to them, but the planets weren't showing up on my honk. At one such stop they were at a reasonable distance so I figured I'd go take a look just to make sure I was crazy. Unfortunately, I wasn't and it was as I feared. As I reached 3940.93LY from Sol I came to the realization that I had somehow forgotten to include the Advanced Scanner, and only had the Basic Scanner on board. After running a search for nearest vendors on EDDB, I found that I had a tough call to make. Either press on and get half-assed data until I got to Colonia, or head back to Ceos. After wrestling with the options I decided that I had very little choice and that I had to go back for it. The entire purpose of the trip is to explore and I was doing it without the proper equipment. At Flyeia Dryiae SM-D B45-0, I turned the ship around and covered the nearly 4kLY in just under 2.5 hours. I scanned systems as I passed through, and maybe a water planet or two, but that was it. I was not there to see the sights at this point. With my parts installed, I'm ready to begin again. In two days I've managed to travel 486.64LY from Sol. Not great. I plan to take a similar route heading back out and will see how much I've been missing thus far. Perhaps the ability to see more will slow my journey, but we shall see.

The Journey Begins

Today I began my journey from Sol to see Colonia, Sagittarius A, and Beagle Point in my Asp Explorer with 45.4LY jump range. This is a mission of exploration and I will be attempting to take some roads less travelled. After looking around I decided to pick a random nebula and head towards that. I chose the Elephant's Trunk. I chose a random star near the center of the nebula and plotted my course. Morale is high. I discovered 29 unique items including a couple of systems on my way to GM Cephei. On my way I began to learn about filters and plotting based on things like scoopable stars. A couple of jumps out from GM Cephei I discovered that you could filter by state of inhabitation. GM Cephei was inhabited! When I arrived, the honk discovered a mine; a feature I have never encountered. As I approached I found it orbiting a secret planet (I later learned it didn't show up on honk due to wrong scanner.) I sold my data to Universal Cartographers and made nearly 2.9mil. I am extremely happy with day one. I set a random goal and found an needle in a haystack which happened to be a distance that was perfect for the time I had available today. After exactly 70 jumps, I am now 2702.01LY from Sol but happen to be 442LY farther from Beagle Point than when I started, which is a little discouraging. My head is high with all of my discoveries today. I'll be pushing out tomorrow on my way to Colonia. Until then...
