Searching through systems around Colonia Nebula. Spent some time on Eol Prou IM-V D2-122 A3, and A4, about 400Ly from Colonia.Planet A4 had a new material for me Polonium, found 9 units. That was my first landing on a 2G world. It went fine, I just took the landing very slow and let the Clipper drift down to the surface. The Clipper is proving to be a good ship for landings, as she's quick enough to get around fast without having to enter SC. Moving about near the surface is much easier now than in my Asp.
Planet A3 coming up next. It's a 3G world, let's see what happens. Landing went much better than I expected, looked for the flattest ground, and used up thrusters as I decended. The planet has no canyons that I can see, and the main feature is a large impact crater, which is where I landed. Looking for technetium.
