How not to explore
06 Aug 2017Malthaeus
After leaving California Nebula, we dove over and own in Oochorrs. Hammy landed on a moon and was driving his rover about, so I followed him down. However, I instead broke out the fighter, and flew around, and then started plinking his shields. He retaliated and started plinking my fighter. Good times.I flew back to the Dire Wolf, my Anaconda. I had a good idea - I was going to buzz Hammy with a fly by. Powered her up, dove down...and completely misjudged the gravity. Plowed my beautiful ship right into the ground. Crash, bang, and out pops the lifepod. It flew me back to the base at Mic's in the California Nebby. $8mil rebuy, and all of my exploration data lost. I'd looked at it at Mic's, guestimated it to be worth about 50MCr.
That was a week ago, and since then I've explored another 120 systems. I cut over from Oochorrs to Running Man, and am about to enter the Orion Nebula.
