Outer Rim Stations Tour photo journal 6: Rosette Nebula to Crab Nebula via Monkey's Head3304 July 11, Wednesday 08:04 Thought I'd go out looking for volcanic activity. I've never discovered any new vents or geysers, I've only seen the ones I've taken sightseers to. 08:30 08:32 I still haven't found any, but I have been...
Outer Rim Stations Tour photo journal 5: Seagull Nebula to Rosette Nebula3304 July 08, Sunday 13:18 As the waypoint system is in total anarchy and the station is run by pirates I haven't a hope of collecting bounties in a stock sidewinder. So I've decided to take a little jaunt around the Slegeae Sector and do some exploration....
Outer Rim Stations Tour photo journal 4: Orion Nebula to Seagull Nebula3304 July 07, Saturday 18:41 Been taking stock a little, looking back to where I've been. On this map you can see the row of stations damaged by the thargoids. That leads from the bubble out to the Pleiades. You can see why people think that the thargoids...
Outer Rim Stations Tour photo journal 3: Orion Nebula to Thor's Helmet3304 July 03, Tuesday 19:40 The Orion Nebula Tourist Centre is a nice little place to stop, built into one of the larger rocks of some planetary rings. It reminded me of Mammon where I took on my last long distance research mission and got recognised...
Outer Rim Stations Tour photo journal 2: Witch Head to Orion Nebula3304 July 02, Monday 09:15 Left the science centre for a morning jaunt around the nebula. Whatever research they are doing into the thargoids here, they aren't sharing. The mission board is all 'go mine for us' and 'give us consumer comforts'. There...
Outer Rim Stations Tour photo journal 1: 98 K Tauri to the Witch Head nebula3304 July 01, Sunday 13:08 I've headed towards the core a couple of times now, gone well over 20kly from my home in Orrere. But this time I'll be going the other way, and not alone. I suppose I wasn't alone on those research trips but the scientists...
Lockdown in LaveJust hopped into the Lave system thinking I'd clear out some of my old unused modules that are gathering dust in Lave Station. Just admin really, tying up loose ends before the outer rim expedition. But things are bad here. I couldn't access my stored...
One challenger vs four maraudersUp till now my modus operandi angainst the Thargoids has been to pop one scout and then boost out of there. But after my last fight yesterday I still had 98% hull. So today when I dropped into a four scout patrol I decided that I should stick it out to...
My first thargoid killI guess it's not much to boast about, but I just destroyed a Marauder scout, one of the smaller thargoid vessels. The anti-xeno multi-cannon really did do far more damage than the vanilla one. But I had to get pretty close to hit with them. I wonder if...
Thargoids in XincaI was one of the first into Jameson Memorial to buy the new Challenger. Absolutely surrounded by Kraits, but I have been thinking for a while about joining the war with the thargoids. And that new Krait is one ugly chunk of alloys. I sought the thargoids...
