Well HELLOOOO again....

Okay, so, where to start... aaaaah yes... the Chemical Processors... what an elusive specimen... what felt like jumping for 10 hours after Emission sources ( probably not even an hour ) I was able to find 2 of those endangered thingies and thus decided to leave the hunt for them until Saturday, where I would hopefully have the whole day to frustrate myself and so I pushed on to Ray Gateway to swap out the DXP for the Orca and head my merry way to McMonagle Landing and start doing some Passenger Missions for my Squadron-To-Be.Well, do I need to say more, ORCA, to McMonagle?? For those of you Commanders that are also, like me still a total ID10T (I should actually make that my ships ID ) and not focusing on details given in maps OR not using this beautiful site to confirm certain stuff before you jump, I got there and after visualizing how I am going to dock this Orca up... okay, let me not go there, but ja, up the Traffic Controller for not granting me access to dock, my eye caught the top right notifications, that the oh-so-not robust Orca, is to big to land at McMonagle Landing...
So, after a horrible defeat of intellect, I had to put the Orca's fins between it's legs, (yeah I know, Orcas don't have legs), admit defeat and turn back to Ray Gateway to collect the Dolphin. Yet again, enthusiasm got the better of me and without making sure what cabins I had installed, I burst out of Ray Gateway and hauled back the four or 5 jumps to McMonagle. Well, I could only do 1 Site Seeing Mission and when that was done, I decided to head back to Bennet Station which, is kinda my Home Base, although my ships are currently slightly spread around few systems for certain module collections and so forth, to equip other cabins.
In short... Guys and Girls, Ladies and Gentlemen... Commanders... for if you not want to play I-Are-Baboon and jump from tree to tree like and adrenaline pumped moron... use INARA, which is one of the many plenty tools out there to assist new Commanders. Plan your routes, check out sites like McMonagle on those apps and you could save yourself hours of unnecessary jumps (although it is not a total loss, you gain a couple of thousand credits in Cartography atleast)
But enough for now. Tonight, should standby leave me alone, I'll be joining up with my new Squadron APEX EXECUTIVE, and hopefully open my ears and give the 3 brains cells if have left, the opportunity to learn from experienced Commanders.
Fly Well
