Journey began on the morning of the 6th of July with the carrier Valhalla. Although no final destination was officially planned this time, I reached a point about halfway to Sagittarius A. Surprisingly it only took about 7-8 hours to get there and that was with a little exploring along the way. Currently in the Eodgols SP-G d10-271 system and orbiting the only ringed planet. It has a Tritium and LTD hotspot but after checking out both there seems to be very little of ether in each hot spot. After 30 minutes of sending prospector drones I gave up.
The Valhalla will keep stationed in this system until I find a more suitable location that is rich with Tritium. Ether way it is going to be a midway station for commanders to repair, rest, and turn in data they collected. An ideal system I wish to locate will have at least one location to mine so that I can stock up on Tritium when I am not exploring. Until I find it, the Valhalla will be the center for my search operations. I will keep expanding out in a sphere pattern until I find the perfect system.
The area I am in is largely unexplored, I have only found a handful of stars that have actually been visited before. I have my Diamond Back Explorer, the Delta Flyer, for exploring the surrounding systems. Already found several systems with ringed planets and gas giants, however few have hot spots and most of those hot spots are useless. Even in the bubble I never see any trade missions for what could be mined from these hot spots. If they are anything like the Tritium and LTDs though, there will be hardly any of them to mine anyway.
When my search is complete, my next stage of exploration will begin. The Odyssey, my deep space exploration Anaconda, will journey beyond the center of the galaxy to the edge of Odin's Hold. Last time I went through there, most of the systems I traveled through had Earth like planets or water worlds and that was when I was just doing my max jumps to do a large lap around middle sector of the galaxy. I mean to stay out exploring until the end of the year. When I return to Valhalla, depending on what changes occur and is planned for pilots across the galaxy, I may leave the Valhalla there or return it to the bubble. If in the future I can have a station built at the midway point, I will take the Valhalla to another sector for additional exploration or use it for expansion into building stations in neighboring systems.
