Massive Nebulae Excursion, Day 9
10 Jan 2017Tervaskanto
Continuing along the way, I detoured to a bunch of neutron stars, although there was little of note in any of those systems. After finally reaching the nebula, I explored several systems, finding some planets with barnacle hunting potential, although I only bothered to touch down on one of them, and had no luck...although I did manage to find a data point on the surface that I can cash in once I get back to the bubble for a measly 2000 credits. Sadly, that was the only thing of note in the nebula.For any future barnacle hunting expeditions, the planets (and systems) I noted as potential sites based on the known criteria are as follows:
NGC 6820 Sector bq-y d16 4a
NGC 6820 Sector gw-w d1-117 2a
NGC 6820 Sector gw-w d1-122 8a and 8b
NOTE: The first location matches the criteria exactly. The second location has a slightly higher gravity than other barnacle sites, and the two moons in the third system both have a metal/rock ratio that is slightly off, however I felt that the variances were minor enough to not exclude them outright.
As for the next stop, I'll decide that when I resume the journey. For now, I am about to break a personal best - I am only a few light years away from being further from home than I have ever been (straight-line distance of course). I know I'm not as far out as many other explorers have gone, but it's still a notable milestone on my journey!
