Hermes Expedition, Waypoints 1-14
31 Jul 2021Amarov
I've never made a logbook on Inara before, I suppose now's as good of a time as ever. I got the idea to visit each nebula in the game while traveling to save a stranded fleet carrier in the Heironymus Delta. I made the trip in a 35 LY mining vessel, and to break up the trip I stopped at some nebulae and really enjoyed it. That led to making a map of the nebulae in GIMP, and thinking of how I'd visit each one. I made a shitty map, then formalized it, and plugged it into EDSM. You can see the route here https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-routes/show/id/3407/name/All+Of+The+Goddamn+Nebulas+%28Well%2C+Nearly%29, it's 155 waypoints and 411k LY.
Well, squad duties have lapsed. I've got some time in my life, and I don't know whether anyone has actually *done this before*. So why not. I entered Waypoint 1, the Thueche Brahe Nebula, on 5/25/2021. I reached Waypoint 14 on 7/26/2021.
I'm really unsure of how to attach files directly to these, so here's some imgur links instead. The first two are... well, I didn't know how I wanted to do it yet. Also, forgive the beginning photos for the... poor quality. I was playing at 720p, lowest settings and hadn't thought to take high res screenshots.
Waypoint 1 & Filler
Waypoints 2 & 3 & Filler
Waypoints 4 & 5
Waypoints 6 - 12
Waypoints 13 & 14
I'm unsure how I'll continue this, but I figured it'd be nice to see all of the photos in a centralized place instead of spattered over Reddit and Discord.
Speaking of Discord, I should probably shill for the Path Rangers. Join the Path Rangers, see the galaxy! Y'all are already explorers, you know the drill lol.
