I'm not sure why I burnt out after I finished topping off the Tritium tank on the carrier but that's exactly what happened. I was physically exhausted. I unloaded whatever it took to top off the tank and then put the rest in storage, got a little something to eat and a couple beers and then I crashed hard. I didn't think I was that tired, but I must have been because I slept for nearly ten hours straight.

Anyway, I think I am ready to resume a little more exploration now. The tank is full, and there is a plethora of stars ahead of me just waiting to be discovered. At least that is my hope anyway. They can't be all discovered out here where I am at. Granted, I'm not that far from the bubble and many of these stars have been discovered but there has to be triple or more out here that haven't been discovered yet, those are what I'm looking for and the exobiologicals they contain.

I would also like to try and set a minimum number of jumps to about ten to twelve at economical per day at least. That should give me enough time to make some distance and explore planet side for exobios if they are detected. Alright, I think that should do it for this log entry.

It seems as if small steps are the way to go through this area of the galaxy although I'm not quite sure why. It just seems right. I only made 7 small jumps in the Mandalay and then parked around a moon of a ringed gas giant with a tritium hotspot and then called the carrier. The carrier jump will only be a total of seventy-one light years. I'd say that was a small step.

There was nothing unusual to report and little in the way of undiscovered cartographical or exobiological data to upload and share. In other words, pickings were pretty slim. I am hoping that I will soon move into an area of the galaxy far less traveled soon.

I believe I will mine Tritium before I move out again. I find it relaxing and a nice change of pace from before when I didn't command a carrier. An Alt account would be nice here.. That's it for now.

CMDR Bullet out..

Instead of just mining the one hundred tons of Tritium I needed to top off the carrier I opted to mine one hundred and ninety tons and just stockpile the remaining Tritium on the carrier. That actually brings the Tritium stockpile on the carrier up to nearly five hundred tons. When I returned to the carrier to unload the Tritium, I remembered that I still had Cartographic data that I hadn't turned in from the day before or yesterday, so I made sure to hand in that data as well. I got a first discovery on couple systems and first footfall on a couple worlds. That means there is some exo data I need to hand in as well. How could I forget that? It's probably just a couple of unimportant bacterium..

After the mining I swapped the T-11 for the Mandalay and did some exploration. I found some more first discovery systems and a couple first footfall/exobio on other CMDR's first discovery systems that they didn't bother to "check out". Their loss, my gain. I think I'll continue to sweep up in this area of space and see what else has slipped through the cracks, so to speak. Regardless of other CMDR's mistakes there are plenty of still undiscovered systems in this region of space so, I am happy to find whatever I can and attach my name to them.

I think I'll end the log here and pick it up tomorrow with whatever else I find out here in the black. Until then-

Well, it seems as if we had an unexpected extended holiday in the system Oochost VY-F b2-0. I just couldn't seem to get motivated to continue to explore so, I just took some time off. Why not? After all, I am the boss.. I decided to give the crew holiday pay for the time off and double time for the skeleton crew shifts working during the duration. Everyone was happy with the arrangement, and I was more than willing to supplement payroll because my crew deserves it.

That brings us to today. I finished mining Tritium in the Oochost GV-D b3-0 system and filled the carrier's tank up to 100% so I decided to begin exploring once again in the Mandalay and have the carrier follow behind me. I traveled a total of five hundred sixty-eight light years to the Oochoss TX-F c0 system. The carrier made two jumps. I was actually pleasantly surprised to find that there were several undiscovered star systems still out here in this arm of the galaxy so relatively close to Sol. I think I will spend a little more time in this area just to see what I can discover for myself..

I parked the carrier around a moon of the ringed gas giant Oochoss TX-F c0 3. From here I can quickly mine more Tritium (about 100 tons) and then continue exploring tomorrow. I really enjoy my trigger time in the T-11.. I forgot how much I loved mining.. Anyway, that will do it for this log entry.

CMDR Bullet out..

The carrier continues to support my exploration missions very nicely. Although it has a tendency to make me wait more than usual, I don't mind at all considering the benefits it provides, and I can find things to do while I wait for a jump.

Today the carrier made four jumps and covered just over fifteen hundred light years distance. We are currently parked in the system Oochost GV-D b3-0. Tomorrow I will mine more Tritium and fill the carrier's tank. We may or may not move on, I haven't decided yet. There isn't much else to add to this log entry so I will cut it here.

I parked the carrier around a small moon orbiting a gas giant in the Oochorrs GP-D d13-7 system. The planet is A 3 and the moon is the only one in orbit around this ringed gas giant. The ring has two Tritium hotspots as well as others but, I'm not interested it those at this time, just the Tritium.

I did one mining session in the T-11 and collected roughly one hundred eighty tons of Tritium before I called it a night and returned to the carrier and deposited it to the carrier's main fuel tank. That brought the main tank up eighty seven percent. Tomorrow I will do the same thing. That will fill the main tank and whatever is left over will go into the carrier reserve which is now sitting at around four hundred tons. All in all, not too bad.

Once I move into unexplored territory again and start to discover the undiscovered and explore the unexplored, I will once again feel like I'm doing what I'm meant to do. The crew is being paid to be here, I just hope they feel the same way.

I am looking for Tritium but not having much luck finding any. I have made forty-four jumps today looking for Tritium and haven't found a single Tritium hot spot. One big mistake I made was moving the carrier with me toward the bottom of the galaxy where there are very few star systems. I have used more Tritium than I cared to use but, that's fine, I'm sure as I rise closer to the center of the galaxy and into more dense regions of space, I will find gas giants with Tritium rich rings from witch to mine. still have over half a tank of Tritium in the carrier and about four hundred tons in reserve so, there is no problem getting back to inhabited space.

In those forty-four jumps, I traveled twenty-six hundred and seventy-two light years with the carrier in tow. It's been a long day. Tomorrow, I hope to find some go juice for the carrier and fill it up so I can continue my quest for exploration. That will be it for this log entry unless I can think of anything else.

CMDR Bullet out..

Today was relatively uneventful. I simply moved the carrier fifteen hundred light years from where it was to where I am now. The move went smoothly and took about an hour. Tomorrow I will look for a system with a ringed gas giant that has a Tritium hot spot and fill up the carrier's tank and then I will scout around for some more undiscovered systems around this region of space. That's about all there is too it and that is where I'll end this log entry.

This will be a significant log entry I believe. The previous log entry to this one was entered by CMDR BIG CHUNGUS 40K. Apparently, he is the CMDR responsible for the disruption of FDEV on this date and caused quite a ruckus today.. I didn't see any of the trouble, I only heard about it through various third-party video sources, and it sounded pretty mid to high level bad. I will add his log entry to this entry for posterity, in case it gets erased by EDSM.

~[CMDR BIG CHUNGUS 40K] log entry BEGIN:~

a couple small (but important) clarifications:

i didn't do anything financial related i didn't touch your carriers/colonisation/stations i didn't drain your carriers funds or whatever. really not sure why people believe that. i didn't ddos/take the servers down. FD was having issues at the same time. i didn't kill anyone (i did interdict a few people to ask about their opinion on oatmeal before leaving) i didn't compromise FD's servers or any of their infrastructure i didn't delete your commanders, the game was (and still is) having server issues the game is safe to play, despite the ruckus online most other issues people were having were FD-related and just coincidental timing.

I don't actually intend to harm this game (too...much) - i do play a lot on my main account! I just was doing a little bit of trolling :3

I actually spent most of yesterday chilling at the CG as a Thargoid Hydra lol. CMDR POTATO THE POTATO & CMDR Karothhal can vouch for me on that (please don't harass them with questions - they don't know any more than you do!). They were very fun to hang out with for a little bit.

and yes...this account is definitely getting banned as soon as FD sends someone into the office... don't worry! xD

Anyway, have some pics!

feel free to send your questions/hatemail/threats/whatever to me @ EatDangus@protonmail.com

p.s. my apologies to the guy who's VPN IP i dropped in public chat. wasn't that funny in hindsight. sorry.

p.p.s. any screenshots of "BUY ARX NOW" carrier-spam is old and didn't happen recently.

p.p.p.s. i am reading the messages in the elite-related discords - a lot of the information about me and this situation is quite wrong!

p.p.p.p.s. i am the same guy who colonised Polaris & the furthest system from Sol several months ago (CMDR IceWallowCoque).

Anyway, I scouted out quite a ways ahead of the carrier and below the galactic plane. Right now I am fifteen hundred light years away from my carrier, camped out on the first planet and system I am the first to discover in a long time. I am looking forward to entering this discovery into Universal cartographics aboard the Silbergeschoss when it arrives. That's it for this log entry.

CMDR Bullet out..

My travels took me around a section of space that is permit locked, the Col 70 Sector. This area of space has been permit locked for a long, long time. We're talking nearly a decade now. Eventually, I made my way around this section of space into the Col 69 Sector.

Before I made my way into the Col 69 Sector, I finished topping off the Tritium fuel tank in the carrier. It had just thirty tons to go before it was at 100% and I just couldn't let it go, so I went back to the tritium hotspot and mined another one hundred sixty or so tons of Tritium before I swapped out the T-11 for the Mandalay and did a little exploration ahead of the carrier jumps. This area of space has all been long since discovered so, I'm not looking for anything like that. I am however looking for worlds with exobio and no first footfall, just for the sake of my name in lights..

I traveled eight hundred and fifty-three light years to reach the planet we are currently parked at, Col 69 Sector 5 A. This world has two exobiological signatures that I quickly located and scanned while I waited for the carrier to arrive. Hardly worth the trouble but, something to do anyway. Tomorrow we will continue to head in a southerly direction within the galaxy and from there? Who knows.
