RED DWARF WILD GOOSE CHASE & A BLACK HOLEHi Cmdrs,
The Galaxy Map said this first trip today would take me to a Class M Red Dwarf and it did after 22 jumps. I thought there might be more than just the main star, but there wasn't, so it was a bit of a wasted journey.
The second object I have pinged to check out was a Black Hole but there was no plottable route to it so I have enlisted the help of The Carl Sagan. It was 19 jumps to The Carriers first jump in point and I handed in just 3,500,000 credits and then worked out a route to the Black Hole.
This has involved moving The Carrier twice but I used the Jumpaconda on the first jump handing in 1,500,000 credits. I then swapped to the Asp and caught The Carrier up again on its second jump handing in 11,500,000 credits and transferring 500 tons of Tritium at the same time leaving 6,500 tons in the hold.
One of the last systems I went through had this lovely High Metal Content I thought worth imaging . . .
Once I arrived at The Carrier’s second destination I sorted a few things out and prepared The Carl Sagan to jump to the Black Hole system, with everyone on it.
Once we arrived I went out in the Sidewinder and scanned the system, guess what, someone’s already been there!
However, there are FOUR Black Holes here, all in the same system!
We’re going to stay on The Carrier and in this system tonight as it’s New Years Eve I’m sure there will be some festivities planned!
Total Ship jump distance so far: 179,896 ltyrs
