Current System: Synuefe TB-T b37-3I had an enjoyable morning chatting with Time_of_Choas as he was doing some Bounty Hunting work within the the Bubble. That and his choice of music is always a pleasure to listen to as it reminds me of the old days when I used to be planetside more than I am now. I lalso ove the sleek look of the Imperial ships (that he was flying), but there's just no way I can abide with the Empire's policies on slavery so there's no way in hell I'll ever be able to purchase them.
So after having breakfast and my morning coffee, I headed back to the cockpit to start my day's work on surveying... Currently looking at Synuefe EJ-Y B34 and Star 1's planetary orbits are all over the place. The sort of all over the place that happens when a singularity (Black Hole) intersects the orbital plane of the solar system. Seems to have caused Star 2 to be orbiting closer to the Star 1 than what's normal for this sector of space. Seems that Star 2 also suffered from a bit of that gravity well's influences as some of the orbital paths are there seems to be yet another trinary planetary alignment in the same orbit and a binary alignment in the next orbital path. Unlike the planetary configuration I notated yesterday, this one's a standard ring-within-ring configuration confirming a singlarity near-event.
Other than that, it was just more clean up of the explorers determined to rush through systems as they looked for Earth-likes for the pay-off, while ignoring the rest of the system for materials, moons, etc. It might not be the big payout like others seem to have taken advantage of, but it's better than nothing and after a week of this, it's going to accumulate. At least that's what I'm convincing myself as I'm getting the moons stamped with my name.
During a little of my down time between stars and scanning distant planets within the solar system, I did a little brushing up on Sudarsky's Gas Giant Classifications and looking through the ship's logs of the planets I've scanned, it seems the only ones that I've been able to find at simply Jupiter (Class I) sized Jovians. I'm sort of making it a personal mission to find a Class V as I'd like to see if there are others out there in the Galaxy like the ones found at Kepler-7b.
I think I'm also going to be keeping an eye out for a volcanic moon in only to land on it and take a couple of tourist-quality snapshots for my personal gallery.
During the second leg of the trip, I actually saw a Class III Jovian... However the most amazing thing I came across it life out there that I hadn't encountered to day. Given the location, gravity, and environment of the planet, I can only theorize that it was microbe based life. I can't imagine any sort of primates surviving in such an environment.
And with that, it's down time. I might jump back into the cockpit later on. Right now, I'm knackered from a lack of sleep.
