Distant Worlds Day 8 - back with the pack
23 Jan 2016Silverorrange
So its took me all day but I have finally caught back up with the main fleet.I decided to take a quick detour to the Trifid Nebula on my way to the waypoint 3 in the Omega Nebula, the Trifid nebula itself was nothing of particular noteworthiness but the view of the Omega nebula and the PW2010 Super Cluster from it was quite spectacular.
On my way through to the waypoint I came across several salvageable wrecks, 1 of which looked to be an imperial cutter, the others was unidentifiable, there were no escape pods but there were some small data packages, well as the saying goes one man's trash, another treasure, I just hope I can get it to beagle point and back home without suffering the same situation.
When I was 3 systems away i got a long range communication from CMDR Micky Shades asking if i would like to have a wing beacon setup so that I can meet up with everyone at the base camp, which I graciously accepted.
It appears that the base camp was on the dark side of the planet so I'm especially grateful for the help as the many lights of the various commanders helped guide me down to the planet safely.
Once down on the planet surface I decided to drive up to a ledge on the crater and observed the going on at base camp and took the opportunity for a photo.
I then drove back down and headed back to the ship.
I will explore the surrounding systems for any interesting planets tomorrow, assuming the ships backup power does not fail
