Expedition to Veil West Sector
02 Jan 2017M. Kozak
Before going into the black for real, I have completed the first leg of a small expedition to the Veil West nebula. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_Nebula
The main points of the expedition is to test the setup before setting more distant destinations. The voyage have been very quiet. A few signal sources was spotted on the way out here. Both containing data caches left from destroyed ships. I wonder what happened to them.
On the way I tested my setup and it has proven quite successful aside from a few things I have learned.
- bring larger fuel scoop! Class 3 is too slow for me. I guess we can change things a bit and run with weaker shields.
- dont drop out in planetary rings by going too close... the ship takes damage.
I will now begin the tour of the nebula itself. Instead of going straight back, I have decided to take a detour and visit the Dumbbell Nebula... a smaller planetary nebula.
I spotted a small somewhat fast rotating planet with an even small moon in close orbit.
