Leaving the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex
18 Jun 2020Junagu
Yesterday did a little tour of this long strip of stars that run through the Running Man. Some with quite peculiar names.Visited more organic sites (bark mounds) The sun was rising.
Did a little bit of bounty hunting in the rings nearby and checked in at the Tourist station one last time. Even though there's still loads to see here I've decided that it's best to press on. Jumping away from the Orion complex from a different vantage point was awe inspiring.
I've realised that a lot of my ship configurations now need to be different, as offensive and defensive equipment becomes somewhat out of place and can be sacrificed for speed, agility and accessability. The small ships win hands down for planetary landings - they are easy on the controls and easy to land.
We've put down anchor in Outotz LS-K d8-3 for a day, which hosts many crystal shard sites that yield vast quantities of Yttrium.
And the next two or three days will consist of visiting similar systems before we reach the Flaming Star Logistics Centre. So, we're gradually gaining momentum and gathering the last resources before the wilds.
