In the Errant Marshes
22 Oct 2019Pisodeuorrior
I've crossed the border to the Errant Marshes, and stopped to nose around the Permit Locked zone. Like last time, there was literally nothing to report. In the meantime, I've studied the route ahead, and it would appear that once I arrive to Amundsen's star I'll have two options.One is to backtrack a fair amount, all the way to the Formidine Ridge, and find a crossing from the Outer Arm to the Perseus Arm. This would add from 15000 to 20000 light years to my journey.
OR
I could chance it, and FSD boost my way through the Black from Amundsen Star to a more dense bit of space, with the risk of getting stuck in the starless space between the two arms.
Anticipating the fact that I'll take the stupidest of the two options, I've landed a few times to stock up on materials for FSD boosts. I'm aiming at having at least 100 boosts available, and I'm at 52 at the moment. Sadly, I tend to get distracted, and I crash landed for the fourth time this journey on a 1.8G planet. I think my hull doesn't have another crash landing in it, I'd better be really careful from now on.
In the meantime, I keep discovering Earth-like and Water Worlds. My bank account will be happy if I manage to get back to the Bubble.
37k Light Years from Amundsen's Star.
