I left Imperial space today.

I couldn't take the constant mission running anymore. It's profitable, sure, and I could tell that I was making progress toward my goal of buying an Imperial Cutter, but I just couldn't do it anymore. So I got back into the Longstrider and headed out to Kongga to load up on some ale for Lori Jameson. I'll hopefully get enough to satisfy her soon, then I'll be able to hopefully fit the Longstrider for an even longer jump range. I know that it sounds absurd, but I've heard that some CMDRs have gotten their Anacondas up to 60 light years of jump range. Can you imagine? If I'd had that range when I went out to Beagle Point, crossing the abyss between the point and the nearest spiral arm would've been a breeze.Finally, I need to make a reminder for myself. I need to head to alliance space after I meet with Jameson and start working for the Alioth Independents. They're a minor faction, but they control access to Alioth, which I need. There's a man there, Bill Turner, who modifies plasma accelerators. And while I've never used them before, I feel like they might be useful against the Thargoids, whenever they show up.
I've seen their ships up close. The hull looks robust, maybe to the point that they would be immune to laser damage. Perhaps cannon or multi-cannon shells as well. The combined force and heat of plasma may work better. This is pure speculation, though, but it can't hurt to try.
