CHRISTMAS ON THE CARL SAGAN & A MORE ACCURATE CREDITS EARNED BALANCEHi Cmdrs,
Today started with 265 jumps to get to the target system.
In the first set of jumps I earned 20,000,000 credits from exploration data by the time I reached The Carl Sagan again. I then transferred 500 tons of Tritium over which leaves 9,000 in stock, enough for another 33,000 ltyrs of jumping.
I found two more Wolf Rayet candidates and checked both of them out using the Jumpaconda, but, alas both were already found again.
I returned to The Carrier handing in 3,000,000 credits for the round trip to the Wolf Rayets and back.
I then checked out another, but really this was always going to be an ‘O Class’ and it was but I thought it worth taking this image as it was huge.
I went back to The Carl Sagan again handing in another 2,000,000 credits.
I’ve found a fourth one, and set off to check that one out but this time I’ve used the Asp and jumping the Carrier too. On the route I found this Water Giant, it wasn’t worth any credits as such but as a Water Giant I thought it worth having a look at.
I’ve ended the day on The Carrier and handed in 3,000,000 for the last set of jumps.
I have decided to record the scan data more accurately. Rather than rounding up or down to the nearest half million I’ve used the ships records to find out what The Carriers balance was on 10th August when we left, taken todays balance into a account and taken one from the other, the figure below is a much more accurate number!
Now, tomorrow’s Christmas Day so we are all spending it on The Carl Sagan and I hope Cook has put us all a good spread on for the day. None of us will be doing much tomorrow, we deserve a rest and we’re 54,000 ltyrs from home.
Cheers Commanders and have the best Christmas you can tomorrow.
