Current System: Plio Eurl KT-Z d13-27I did a preliminary check of the planets, stars and moons that I've done since the start of this survey run and it's going to be above the amount I made during the last survey run: somewhere in the vicinity of 25 million credits. At least it'll be better than the fears I've been having that it'll be below 20 million.
The good thing is that this run I've done more than 1,000 objects from the start of this survey run. The better thing is that I'm going to be well on my way to finishing up the Elite ranking for Exploring sometime near to my year anniversary for obtaining my pilot's license. How long it's going to take for the remaining Elite statuses remains to be seen though. After all, there's something really relaxing about the Deep Black and being away from people and civilization. But I have set a goal on my life for the next couple of years, might as well make the most of it, eh?
I had this wild hair cross my ass the other morning and was remembering a conversation with a long-time pilot and space explorer that thought about taking a year long circumnavigation mission around the Milky Way. He's been bogged down a bit with issues with his life coupled with his wanting to make himself an Explorer-Anaconda before he began that trip. I've disassociated myself from him thanks to the friend that he associates with, but I know the dream of his is very much alive as I've heard talk at a couple of the bars I've stopped in to have a drink at.
I know of the the pilot that did the same thing with an AspX a couple of years back.
The wild hair I've had is to do it alone, without anyone else in the wing.. Something I know he's wanting to put together an expedition for, and will eventually do it when things are worked out with the banks and with the people he's trying to put together for the trip.
But honestly that's not me nor my style. I don't like stealing ideas or the thunder from pilots with dreams. But it's just one of those weak moments I can occasionally have, where I find myself wanting to act out of spite from his association to that person because that person and I never got along well. And there's nothing I hate more when butting heads with anyone is the time the person makes things up against those they're butting heads with that's not remotely true in order to prove they're on the high road.
All right, enough of me feeding into the baser nature of myself and humanity. Time to pay attention to all the HMCs and Terraformable HMCs that I've been finding today. Even came across a system that had three of them within the Goldilock's Zone too. Pretty impressive given that a few months back, I was lucky to find one in a system.
Oh and finally, I saw the date of the anticipated of the software update/roll-out.... The day I'm through with the my rotation within the Bubble and heading out to the Deep Black in another direction: 26, September. Heh, isn't that always the case for the Briere side of my family? Maybe I should be sticking around in the bubble for a few days before I strike out into the Deep Black to make sure I'm not going to be stranded in the middle of nowhere.
I swear sometimes...
