Gone to Colonia - Log 09, first leg of the return to the Bubble.I finally set out on October 5th, heading for Phreia Flyou FG-V d3-116 and DSSA carrier CNN Tranquillity. I had plotted a circular arc to take me there because a straight route would have taken me through systems already travelled by other commanders...
Gone to Colonia - Log 08, ...thinking about the return to the Bubble.For the past few weeks, I've been getting The Ends of Invention ready for the return to the Bubble. I've really enjoyed this visit to Colonia and it has been a very fruitful trip, but all good things must come to an end. I promised myself another trip...
Gone to Colonia - Log 07, ...and on to Au Nain RougeFollowing on from my last log, my next destination was a POI called Au Nain Rouge. This is described on ED Astrometrics here, https://edastro.com/gec/view/99. It seemed to be well worth a visit. My route took me high above the galactic plane (see my previous...

Gone to Colonia - Log 02Oh dear! I took my Alliance Chieftain out for a spin to do a bit of pew-pew combat in a RES site in Colonia. All was going well until some blind security patrol vessel pilot got in my way, unfortunately he bought it! 10,000 credit fine and bounty on...
Gone to Colonia - Log 01Hell, it's been a long time since I wrote a log, the last one was May 2nd 3306! So, I tried out one of those Fleet Carriers on loan for a week or two but decided that I was going to need more funds to be able to make it work for me, so I de-commissioned...
AdmirationHaving fitted a Sidewinder for exploration and done my best to get it fully engineered I had to take it outside of the bubble and try it out on some exploring. So, I headed off into the black in What? In This? to see how she stood up to the rigors...
