Billionaire

So, I finally completed my epic (to me at least) journey to the Guardian ruins at Synuefe NL-N c23-4. Took me about a day, as I was exploring as I went - DSSing all earth likes and landing on some (not all) planets with life and scanning the plants I found there. It was slow, sure, but profitable - I earned enough, once I got to a Vista Genomics to sell my data, to finally get my bank balance over the one billion dollar limit :-)It wasn't all plain sailing either....I lost a lot of data (I reckon about 200 million credits worth), whilst remote driving my SRV. I Had the camera high above so I could look for plants easier, but spent too long in that mode, and drained the shields and then hull of my SRV whilst bouncing along the rough terrain, and suddenly she just gave out. Because the remote view doesn't have any system indicators, I had no idea I was running so low. Ah well, lesson learned. On the plus side, I got my first "First foot" notification, so I feel like a real explorer now (shame it was just a notification though, a bit more recognition orr it would be nice, or some credits, but no, just a pop up message. Ah well).
I managed to gather all the materials I needed from the Guardian site to build myself an FSD Booster for my next ship- the deep space exploring Anaconda "The Black Queen". I'll be kitting her out specifically for deep space - so lightweight, big fuel scoop and as much jump range as I can manage.
