Second Logbook Entry... "Pru Bre PM-W E1-11"
24 Oct 2022Darkbeetle
I'm slowly getting the hang of this "logbook" thing. Hopefully, I can make this one 1000 characters. I'll be going out of character a bit here to explain that I just flew for 6 hours straight to this nebula thing. So I'm pretty tired. Anyways, I'll be updating this roughly monthly, although I'm planning to add a bonus entry in a week after I get to Beagle Point. I'm currently located at the IEFC Intrepidus in Pru Bre PM-W E1-11. There's a stunning blue planetary nebula here, with a single neutron star inside it. Interestingly, this system has a ringed HMC that provides interesting screenshots. It's 3,000 ls from the star and was where the FC was parked.I flew for 6 hours straight, jumping through just under 170 systems. On the way, I saw some cool planets, a bunch of neutron stars, and I let the neutron plotter take me where the galaxy map would fail. And well, I didn't rush it, but I wasn't exactly casual about the speed either. If I got left behind here, I swear I will NOT spend 12 hours of my life jumping over 250 systems all the way. Although it would be cool, I can't fly during the weekdays and during the weekends I don't have a lot of time to fly either. Me being able to fly for over 4 hours was a miracle anyways. So don't expect too many screenshots on the way to Beagle Point.
Hype for Beagle Point aside, I would like to thank my squadron MUDD The Order of Dripnificence for doing so much back in the bubble defending against Thargoids and finding a home system in time for when I come back! I hope the stargoid things don't kill the bubble by the time I get back, because I still need to sell that 6A fuel scoop I spent 1/5 of my credit balance on somewhere, right? Although I am aware Colonia exists... I hope I haven't been missing too much back in the bubble and that the thargoids are defeated in due time. Also if you've been paying attention to the AX squadron leaderboards, you may have noticed our squadron is in 3rd place. (or 2nd by the time this is published?) This is all of my squaddie's work, and I wish I could help. We just have to wish that FDEV figured out that multicrew instancing bug.
It's been a fun time on this expedition. I would also like to thank everybody else on this expedition, these experiences wouldn't be possible without them. I recently hit my first 1000 jumps and I realized just how big the galaxy is, and how small we are compared to it. All of our problems, compared to the galaxy, are minuscule. So don't worry. Everything will be okay.
Fly dangerously, and be happy. This is CMDR Darkbeetle, signing off. o7
