March 22, 3310 - Launch Day and First Leg of the Journey
22 Mar 2024Havocon
I have just come to a stop at HD 171804, the second waypoint of my trip. Had a rough start and almost flew into a sun in Auserine, the last inhabited system I'm gonna be in for awhile. My nerves kinda got to me to be honest. Those no easy way back from here. I'm already over 1k LY from the nearest port. Granted I've got several thousand more to go before I get to my destination, but its easier for me to go forward from here then turn back. Had a couple interesting sites along the way. My first waypoint was the Cornet Pulsar. It was simultaneously , beautiful and amusing. Amusing because it reminded me of a blow up sign that people use to get attention, but with arms. Or like an old cartoon character that can't hold their balance.
Then I took a pit stop for fuel in another system, I'll have to replay the video log for the system, but it had a gas giant in it that I tried to explore. Goofy me forgot my ship isn't meant for atmospheric flying. Thankfully the computer did and kept from getting too close.
There were also a couple of white stars that I hadn't seen before that I ooed and awed over for a couple minutes. But the trip so far has ben uneventful. A couple of the way points I have coming up should offer some good scenery and I'm going to be editing down the video and audio logs to share as well. Might even make it a bit more interesting to watch somehow. I'm gonna work on them as I orbit this dwarf star and before I begin the next leg of my trip.
