CMDR PAUSANIAS - THE SHIP OF THE MIND EXPEDITION - DAY 126
13 Dec 2020Pausanias
GOING THROUGH A DRY SPELLHi Cmdrs,
I started today with just 15 jumps to get to the target system, which I have achieved, but, without much to report of any interest I’m afraid.
The first thing that did strike me of some interest was dropping into this system with an A Class Star with a M Class so close by.
Upon reaching The Carl Sagan the first time I handed in 7,000,000 credits and carried on. The second time I reached it, 1,000,000 only and I transferred 500 tons of Tritium to the Carrier leaving 14,000 in stock.
I’ve then turned Northwards to Beagle Point and sent the Carrier on ahead as usual.
Since I wasn’t finding anything and the systems I was dropping into were not yielding much I ended up reaching the Carrier system before it arrived!
I just managed to snap this image towards the end of the arrival sequence as I was so close to the entry point it pushed my Asp off to the side as it arrived! No damage was sustained but it took me a short while to turn the Ship to get this picture, you can just see the remnants of the black smoke from the hyperspace jump.
I’ve handed in just 2,000,000 credits and tomorrow I’m going to have to make a decision as to how to proceed because I’ve tried plotting a route to BP using just A, B and O Class systems but this won’t get me across The Abyss!
Total Ship jump distance so far: 107,226 ltyrs
Total planets Level 3 scanned: 35,543
Total exploration data: 1,159,500,000 credits
Total systems with my name on: 4164
My Ship is now 54,159 ltyrs away from Sol!
Distance to Beagle Point: 11,600 ltyrs
Now upwards!
