I have completed outfitting and engineering on My Anaconda the Challenger and my Imperial Courier the Intrepid, in preparation for Distant Worlds 2.

I have decided to participate in Small Worlds Expedition 3 to give the Intrepid a proper shakedown and to have some fun while waiting for DW2 and/or the next PF software patch.

I have taken the Intrepid to the system T Tauri which is the starting location for DWE3 and await the first meetup and mass jump tomorrow morning.

After a quick trip around the neighborhood and a lot of scanning along the way, got back last night and sold data to reach Elite rank in exploration. Got a permit for the founders world and moved my ships to Jameson Memorial. I'll stick around the bubble for a while to bring up my combat rank in order to access more Engineers.

Well, I'm off again. Been back in the bubble for 12 days, I've got a new ship engineered for 50+Ly, and I'm ready to go. Leaving the bubble tonight for no place in particular.
