Disaster and Triumph
29 Mar 2022Starnemesis
The must-see destination of any explorer, the supermassive blackhole that is Sagittarius A. It was a long way to come from Colonia. This was made worse by some high gravity planets, two that I slammed into on the way. The first was on the leg from Colonia to Hypuejaa RT-Q e5-83. I was one jump away from my destination when I decided to land on a planet for nothing more than bacteria. I had already had some minor collisions that left my hull in a bad way, but I thought that I could land it. Unfortunately, the Longshot left a scar on the planet and I was forced to take a 8,584.86ly remlock trip back to Colonia.The second trip I was more successful. I made it to Hypuejaa RT-Q e5-83. I was over halfway to my next waypoint, Scaulou SZ-M d8-911 when I slammed my ship into another planet. This time I didn't have much previous damage. But at least the remlock trip this time was only 2,954.36ly. Only. In total I lost 255 samples of life forms, worth at least 50,000,000cr. I don't know which I'm hurting from more, the long journey back or the loss of all of that data.
I found on my third trip a system that had 53 life forms in it. Unfortunately, I found that on my first trip so I lost all of the data. If somebody wants to travel the 2,200ly from Colonia, it will be worth their while. I will add it on my list of waypoints on the return journey, but I have no doubt that somebody will beat me to it. Good luck to whoever does.
