Thargoid Sensor - Crash Ship tip off
14 Jul 2018Webster 962
I headed off to find the second crashed ship that I had a mystery tip off about.This one was on Planet Balte 1 a in the Balte system, only 3 jumps with my new upgraded FSD from the last system.
I located the ship, but it was at the end of a deep reentrant.
I had to park the Kerr Avon on flat ground above it, and headed down in the SRV, full aware I woudn't get back up to my ship.
When I got there I discovered the usual array of discarded food canisters and then something new caught my eye.
My SRV scanner identified it as a 'Thargoid Sensor'. I knew enough about these things to know that picking it up without a corrosion resistant cargo hold was not wise!
So I did what any sane person might do when faced with an alien artifact; I blasted it to bits, and collected the fragments!
I also shot up the cargo rack, which gave me some extra metal materials!
Now I just needed to navigate the canyon and find somewhere flat to recall my ship to!
