LOG: My first undiscovered Earth-like!!! There was a massive hurricane, above a sprawling archipelago the size of some of Earth's continents, and it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I sat there in orbit for ages, just taking it all in. I can't wait to come back some day and see the half that was shrouded in darkness.
I found another landable terraformable too, which gave me a good excuse to land and stock up on a few more raw materials. Not that I'm running low on anything I'll need, but they don't cost me anything to haul, so why not load up everything I can?
I'm currently adrift near the first planet of a star in the Dryao Aoscs sector. I was in the middle of scooping and scanning the system when the GNC computer warned me of a potential solar flare. I was trying to get set down on the dark side of the planet to wait out the flare, but I didn't make it in time, and all my GNC systems are knocked out.
Life support is still up, and the breakers protected everything like they're supposed to, so it doesn't look like anything's permanently damaged. Other than recording this log entry, though, there's nothing to do for now but sit tight and wait for the rest of the flare to pass before I start manual power-up sequences for the GNC systems.
