HIGH METAL CONTENT 264,000 OUT! / ARRIVAL AT THE TARGET SYSTEMHi Cmdrs,
I only had 15 jumps to the target system today. I set The Carrier jump up too and set off on the 8-9 jumps to it.
I found a High Metal Content in a system which was 264,000 light seconds out, it still got mapped!
I got to The Carl Sagan and handed in 8,500,000 credits. I've then swapped to my Cutter to start looking for Tritium. The first jump I made yielded 8 ringed planets but not one of them had the required icy rings!
I continued with the 13 jumps required to reach the target system which I arrived at in due course. I scanned the whole system and planet A1 has rings with a single Tritium hotspot in so we’re good to go! All the interim systems were devoid of icy rings.
Shengar Landar should arrive soon closely followed by Clyde Zero. I’ll start mining tomorrow and I also have over 20,000,000 in scan data to hand in.
I’ve bought The Carl Sagan right to the planet and it is now in orbit around A1.
We are all set to mine 6000 tons, hopefully with three of us at it we’ll get the job done fairly quickly but my capacity is 256 a time so I think in actual fact we’ll be there a while. Any help they give will be appreciated, they need not hang around to do the whole 6000. I need to sort a price for it to recompense them for their efforts.
Total Ship jump distance so far: 184,835 ltyrs
Total planets Level 3 scanned: 44,172
Total exploration data: 1,970,333,902 credits
Total systems with my name on: 4953
My Ship is now 42,498 ltyrs away from Sol!
