Space is Big

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
English humorist & science fiction novelist (1952 - 2001)
I has been said before, but today I realized the truth of those words. Colonia is far, far away...
Yesterday I got lost in scanning stars. With my current equipment I am not able to a proper job on that, so I made some calculations and decided that scanning stars is something that has to be done by proper explorers.
Just after I made that decision I got an invitation from Elvira Martuuk, an engineer who likes to support explorers
The trip requires planning! More planning than I have done so far. I opted for Colonia so that I could make a decent amount of money (hopefully without the hassle of explaining my past on each transaction). If I keep traveling at this rate I will not even have a past anymore when I arrive at Colonia
So, change of plan: I will take my chances with LHS 3447 and surrounding systems to make enough money to buy me:
- an A rated fuel scoop
- an A rated FSD
- some additional fuel tanks
