The long, long journey of the Wandering Star
21 Jun 2020Pisodeuorrior
After weeks of preparation, everything is ready to start on my new Journey.I think it deserves a capital letter as it will be no small thing.
My plan is to fly along all arms of the Milky Way, with the support of my carrier, the Wandering Star, and that of the friendly commanders I'll meet along the way.
The DSSA Network is far from being entirely deployed, but a few of its pilots are already settled enough to provide some Tritium when I'll fly by their location.
Others are not yet fully operational, but kindly willing to share some of the little fuel thay have left from their own journey.
As of now, my route includes the the DSSA #48 Aristarchos in Xibalba, DSSA#46 Callisto in the Arcadian Stream, the DSSA#23 Buurian Anchorage in the Empyrean Straits, the DSSA#11 Pride of Tel Fyr in the Outer Orion-Perseus Conflux, the DSSA# 44 Kraut in the Outer Orion Spur and the DSSA#16 Existential Crisis in Temple.
I will fly by all other DSSA Carriers along the way in any case, as it's nice to have milestones on such a long expedition.
And I can't stress enough how such a massive difference the DSSA network will make in shaping deep space exploration, and pilots' presence in the Galaxy in general.
I'll be out in the Black for an awful amount of time, and it will be interesting to see how the network will evolve as I fly by it. Also, quite selfishly, I must confess that
I hope miners will join in at some point and cut some of the time I'll have to spend shooting at rocks.
Anyway, there's room for tweaks, but this is roughly the route I will take.
The several stops to refuel will hopefully shorten the time I'll have to bite the bullet and mine Tritium, but I am aware that the whole trip will require a titanic mining effort.
For this reason, the expedition is open to all commanders who would like to hitch a ride even for a short stretch and help with refueling.
If you want to see some sights and you love shooting at astreroids, this trip is for you!
I'll be flying past the Bubble a few times, as well as Colonia, Explorers Anchorage and any DSSA Carrier already in position, so if you want to hop in and hitch a ride to those locations please let me know. And if you want to help with the mining along the way I'll never say no
To all explorers out there, the Wandering Star is also available for refuel, repair and restock, so if you are in dire straights give me a shout and I can change my course to help.
You can follow my progress on Inara, or even drop a friend request in game to check where I'm at.
See you out there!
