Exploration Megalog #1I just made 1b cr. from just 2 (!) systems' worth of exobiological data. Traditional exploration is dead. It's all about those funky space stalagmites now.
Exploration Log #6I have stared into the eyes of God - in a manner of speaking. Midway through my first trip to Colonia, I have found the 'God system' - a neutron star system with a K class star that has 4 terraformable HMCs, one of which with a terraformable rocky moon,...
Exploration Log #5Well, that settles it. In 50,000 LY, hundreds of systems and almost 4 days of travel, I discovered data worth around 125m Cr. Not bad, I thought. Then, on a whim, I took a brief jaunt - 2700 LY upwards from the bubble, and perused maybe a dozen systems;...
Exploration minilog #3It's ironic - I never once saw an ELW in 50,000 LY across the galaxy, yet only 2,600 LY from Achelous, I've found an unvisited system with an ELW, as well as 3 terraformable HMCs.
Exploration Log #4Home sweet home! Got back to Mendel Hub safe and sound; though I did come across a number of unusual systems very close to the bubble - one system had three neutron stars and a black hole, the next system after that also contained a black hole - the first...
Exploration Log #3After another minor eternity, I've covered 14,400 LY to NGC 6357. This expedition has turned into a migraine machine, and the millisecond pulsars don't help in that regard. The nebula is an interesting blue cloud, and there are a number of nice, blue...
Exploration minilog #2This is what it's all about! Within 500 LY of NGC 6357, I've stumbled on an unvisited system filled with 13 HMCs, 5 of which are terraformable, as well as a water world. Bastard mapping probes cost me a 500k efficiency bonus for no reason, so I shall...
Exploration minilog #1Currently travelling towards the fourth star of this system - there's 5.5m credits worth of first-claims; terraformable HMCs and the like; only it's 450,000 LS away. I have the worst luck. Let's see how long this takes. Update: 945c top speed, 20 minutes....
Exploration Log #2Covered the 10,375 LY to NGC 3199 at last - feels like I've been travelling for years. This puts me 15,000 LY from home; by far the furthest I've been, but that feels small compared to the 25,000 LY spent travelling the total route. I'm feeling a bit...
Exploration Log #1Just covered 15,074 LY via the neutron highway to the Skull and Crossbones nebula. Was dimmer than I expected. Had a minor mishap on route at VY Canis Majoris - emergency stopped right into the dwarf star there. No significant damage besides that;...
