Project Codex: Week 1
02 Dec 2024MAD DOG MacD
On the first day, I covered all of the standard star classes, it was when I hit the more 'exotic' classes that things slowed down a bit.
One reason was distance.
Many of these stars are quite spread out, so I had to literally plot out a path that would make more sense and not see me flying around with no apparent plan. Either way, within an average of 30 Jumps per Star, it takes time.
Second reason, unknown systems.
It is surprising how many undiscovered systems still lay within reach of the Bubble. 3K LY out and I was bumping into all kinds. I did the usual honk and scan of the systems I found that were new then left.
I have a goal/plan, I need to stick to it.
When I have had the chance to turn in my data at a station/carrier I do.
Flying around the Bubble in Open is a dangerous affair at times. Especially since some of my routes literally cross paths with Deciat, Sol (more on this later) and Shinrarta dezhra. Areas of high crimes reported against other CMDRs.
While losing the exploration data is not big deal to me monetary wise, getting my name on a few more systems is.
Day 3 saw me rescuing civilians from Sol.
I was literally in the neighborhood and wanted to do my part. I outfitted a Keelback (the TFS Thaller) and jumped out to help out.
First mistake: I was in open, well not for long. It was literally GANK-O-RAMA. I think literally all the griefers, gankers, trolls, mutants were in Sol, V886 and any system in between.
Second mistake: Ship being NOT Thargoid resistant. Needless to say, it was not long after a few aborted runs, many failed missions that I decided I needed time to build a proper ship.
Adding that I am sure by Thursday, things will be different, I decided to call it an attempt, a small piece of participation and headed back out. Returned to my HQ, set off again on the TFS Mainzer and continued my quest on collecting rarer Star Classes.
One day, I will work on the Good Samaritan Badge, but not now.
