2/17/3303Preparing for a long jouney always has 2 emotions. excitement and dread. excitement in the sense that you will see something new and discover new sights. dread in the sense that its going to be a pain to get to where ever that is and that you will be away from everything for awile. after 6 months of hanging around in the bubble the farthest i ever been was 2k light years from the start. compared to the 57k lightyears in dw and the 22k lys to colonia. i havent on a long journey in awile. and with Distant worlds 2 coming up "soon" i really need to prepare and get back into the long journeys. i need to get back to the long hours in the cockpit hitting jump over and over and over. getting back to the endless fuel scoops and inevitable crashes. getting back to the space madness and isolation. and getting back to the beauty of the galaxy. im going out to the Formidine rift. a 15k ly (ish) venture. way farther then the measly 2. i feel this will get me prepared for when i go much farther in the summer. my first destination is the bubble neubla 7k lys away. the neutron route planner says it will take 153 jumps to get there. this is going to be a pain.
