Head out from Jaques yesterday to start ferrying new goods in from The Bubble to help build the new stations. Colonia is starting to take shape and I can't wait to be a part of it.
The CCN has started an exploration group and is asking for pilots to stop by POIs on the route and document them as either potential tourist traps or living spaces. Word of new FSDs that take advantage of White Dwarf / Neutron star emissions means those stars will become invaluable to transporting goods back and forth.
Since more stars means more money, I've decided I want to stop by two places on the way back so I can afford my new Explorer. The dark spot in the middle of my route is the first stop. It doesn't appear on the EDSM galaxy map, not visually at least, but the info should help since it looks like a star maker. Since it's not mentioned, I may even get to name it. Tomorrow's goal is Traikeou AA-A H0, a Wolf Rayet with a wonderful view of the related Traikeou AA-A H2. the H2 Nebula and it's cousin star need a fitting name. Hoping something something meaningful comes up by the time I get there.
So far, but the GM's description, there's only about 8-9 stars there, so I can grab all of those and see what planets are near by. If I can manage all of that tomorrow, I've got 7 whole days to make the trip back to Jaques in my new ASP Explorer.
-S.
P.S. Flew through a lovely system with 54 bodies in it, DRYOOE FLYOU XZ-L C22-143. A little upset that I didn't take any good pictures, but I was in a hurry. Maybe on the way back I can drop in and land on one of the moons (there's a huge Brown Dwarf with a purple hue and rings).
