Arrived Colonia after bookmarking the highway on the Galmap. Probably should have done this route some time ago. Would have saved hassle. Next stop Sag A*. 139 jumps at 53.6 LY. Maybe another week with detours for survey and planetary stops along the route. So far nothing noticeable. First leg was always going to be a transit rather than a full survey.
Had no problems from the Navy portion of the crew. Very young most of them however a trip into the black is probably the best way to teach focus and attention to detail. Learning on the job during combat is normally a death sentence. The six fighter pilots are the exception. All barr one are looking at retirement upon return.
The civ crew are adjusting but it's taking longer than I'd like. Too many egos and 'famous explorers'. I heard one boasting that he'd been all the way to The Witchhead nebula. He shut up quickly when I announced the point of no return.
Remarks on Colonia. The bubble. With less to do
Will update soon
