Small Accidents of The Veils
15 Jan 2020Pisodeuorrior
I skipped through The Veils like a stone on water, but I managed to stop for a few scans.
The only event of note is that I got distracted while scooping fuel and crashed out of Supercruise in the exclusion zone of an O Class star.
No big deal, really, a part from a 2% damage on my Power Plant that I won't be able to repair until I dock at a Station.
But the accident made me realize two things:
first, I'm really happy with the setup of my Phantom. Sacrificing just a little bit of range to carry both AFMU and repair limpets was a good choice. Flying halfway through the galaxy with a smashed hull wasn't fun during my last vojage.
Secondly, I'm an idiot. I forgot to stock up on Basic Conductors before I left, so I can not synthetise any more Heat Sinks. I have just one left, so if I get out of hyperspace in the middle of two stars - as happened once during this vojage and four times during the last one - all I have left is pray.
Anyway, I've just crossed into the Formorian Frontier, and I'm about 110 jumps from the next change of course, some 6500 light years away.
