The overall mission can be found here.
The log is structured into the following sections:

| Phase 11 |
-------------
This phase has taken 42 hours effort since the Phase 10 update.
Whilst still at Explorer's Anchorage in the STUEMEAE FG-Y D7561 system, 5.6m credits of cartographic data was sold to get allied with the main faction and there were also 1.3m credits worth of codex discoveries handed in from the phases. Wear and tear was repaired for the hull and some charity donations were given to other factions which all cost 3.4m credits.
The system is the furthest populated system from civilisation (around 11k LY) but contains a low intensity resource extraction site. So, having a break from exploration after +430 hours effort of exploration in deep space, I settled there to do something different (mentioned in the plan back in Phase 1).
| I know you might be thinking "but what about the billions of cartographic data?" - well yes, I had the same thought as well! Seeing as the overall plan is to use that data to get allied with every controlling faction in Colonia, I just had to take an educated gamble. |
Although Viatorem's purpose is exploration, it can also be used for bounty hunting, based on severity of course (see the info / links at the bottom of the log). Bounty vouchers were built up for this phase meaning the log structure is slightly different than normal. Local vouchers were sold in various stages to gain rep and get allied with all the minor factions.
A little tip - whenever you enter a RES and if the targets are smaller ships, you can relog a few times and get better enemies with larger bounties, like this one:
It was nice to have a break from exploration and felt rewarding to be allied with all the most distant minor factions. After the 42 hours, it definitely felt like the right time to get back to exploring which will be as usual in the next phase o7.
During this phase and in addition to those hours, many hours were spent:

The credit values for Phase 11 were:
Combining the credits from the 11 Phases gives the credit value of:
| Note - The combined profit is being shown for this phase only but will not be added to the normal rolling totals for the next phases. Adding bounty vouchers would incorrectly reflect averages as the other phases are all exploration based. |

| The plan ahead |
---------------------
Next on the list is to head towards Colonia as I still haven't been there yet, even after so much time.
For Phase 12, the route will go from the Galactic Core and back into Odin's Hold - between the route from the previous phases and Colonia itself.
After Phase 12, then Phase 13 will be the second part to reach Colonia from the core.

| Ship details |
-----------------
Exploration ships are usually as light as possible which sacrifices some usage when they reach their destination.
Although Viatorem is an exploration ship, it can also be used for other aspects as well. Some features of Viatorem include:
