Colonia - finally out of the AnacondaI took the scenic route with some gazing at SagA, nebulas and scans galore, found some truly exiting planets. Only to crash my Anaconda on the last leg to Colonia 20 jumps away on some planet. And doing it again from the center. If there were gods, I'd...
Old bodies and young souls0604060209 I fell in bad company - and I like it. When I came home from the Heart Nebula I had to do something exciting. So I fought for whoever was a democracy and had some bounties to pay, and sat in station bars to tell the tales. One evening a...
Heart and soul, diamonds in the sky, down to earth, and back again0602150334 When you return with a memory bank full of fresh exploration data, eager to register your claim before somebody else does, The last thing you wat to see is that big "LOCKDOWN" sign, and closed offices. Alas, Farsight Exploration...
It's a long way to Heart Nebula.0602092341 Jump. Scan and scoop. Check with system map, maybe FSS. Repeat. 180 Junps, 120 are done. Did I get my pilots licence for this? Powersliding like a drunk 18yo in a Mustang over the untouched ice of an untouched planet? Watching...
New ships, new voyage, old failures0602082105 I had a little trading spree in my new type-7. I like the brick, I have to say, it is a very well behaved ship. But, not very exiting. So, I hopped back in my Challenger, and killed some that needed killing. And, once again, saw that my...
The Dream of a SpacestationSo, I have this dream of building my very own spacestation. From scratch. At first I thougt of 2 derelict Anacondas as a start, connected by a long tube and spinning, so that you'd have some gravity from the start. That would be a real coriolis port....
Flying open in Deciat. Questions?So, I had a word with the resident engineer in Deciat. She insisted in having need for exquisite focus cristalls. Well, I took off to harvest some. And was attacked by a Krait MKII, before i even got off the Launchpad. I tried to engage my FSD, but was...
Back to the fightI was out in the far black, doing some exploration. I just wanted my Callsign tagged to some suns and planets. And I did. I learned to love the Diamondback Explorer. What a workhorse! Good thing, it can't have a better fuel scope, or I'll never leave...
CMDR Onkeldata Personal Log: Breath! Breath!SO, how is a cargo/miner Python different from a combat-fitted tanked-up Challenger? To name just one minor point: If you are intercepted with your belly full of over 200t precious cargo by a Federal Dropship, you are wise to run away. I had a really...
Cmdr Onkeldata personal log: Underestimated activities and failuresI am a man of irrational decisions, and peculiar tastes. I fell in love with the Chieftain when I saw the announcement the first time, and still am. Little did I know, she had a cousin that would fit my style so much more. The Challenger! What a fun ship....
