The SRV repair wasn't as bad as I thought. Managed to reattach the wheel without much trouble. Actually reinforced parts of it so it shouldn't break as easily anymore, either. I was lucky this happened on a joyride and not when I was at the bottom of a big canyon where my ship just wouldn't be able to land. Starving to death in an SRV is not how I'm planning to go out.
I'm getting closer to Colonia, which is a good thing. Hit the halfway point a little while ago, but the lack of neutron stars is really hurting. I'm addicted to those long-range jumps. Since I couldn't jump far, I decided I'd jump smart, and set my navigation computer to make me a route using only G-class stars. The thing with the G-class stars is that they're the same as Sol, and usually have good terraforming candiates that pay a decent paycheck when probed and mapped. I managed to find a water world orbiting another water world. That's not a common thing. Makes me wonder what I'll get for the maps in Colonia.
Hundred jumps left, according to my navigational computer. I'm getting there.
Comrey out.
