Professor Palin task 5000 ly+ with The Invincible Fleet Carrier
11 Feb 2023Olin13
Reached the 5000ly+ waypoint with my fleet carrier The Invincible.I have used this task to test deep space travel with the use of the fleet carrier. The Invincible has got just basic modules like refueal, rearm and supply. I have bought around 1800t of Tritium.
This was not enough. Now I have reached the target Phraa Eaec UV-T d4-7 and will need to mine around 300t to get back to the bubble. Thankfully all of the systems are pristine and it seems that this is a standard when being that far from The Bubble. It is also easy to find Tritium hotspots. You just need to wander around the surrounding systems.
On the way I have been mapping the systems and doing some exobiology. This is time consuming though.
Conclusions so far:
- for short trips you need to buy 3000t or more of Tritium
- for long trips you will not get away form Tritium mining
- there is no way to make money when away from The Bubble, so selling exo and mapping data is the only source of income
- mining is fun in The Black. There are no pirates
- there is no feeling of wasting in-game time when comparing to travelling without fleet carrier. You can plan jumps at the end of the day, or use the jumps to take a break from the game.
Generally - this is fun. Having fleet carrier around you feels like you are not alone out there and no matter what happens, there is always a safe piece of land waiting for you in The Black. It is like taking a piece of The Bubble into The Black.
