And What Did I JUST Say?So, I brought along a refueling limpet controller because I didn't want to be that commander who turned a blind eye and deaf ear to a distress call. Only 10 jumps into my trip to Sag-A, I ran into a commander in an Asp Explorer stranded in a system with...
And....We're Off! (by about a half a bubble)The Distant Worlds 2 caravan has begun departing for the next waypoint. So, I decided I'd better quit stallin' and launch The Ceti Azeria on its exploratory trek to Sag-A. Or, to be specific, Stuemeae FG-Y d7561. That's allegedly where--or near where--the...
Never So Glad to Live in Colonia The wild west ain't so wild. I've been following all the political buffoonery going on back in the Core Systems--the fraud, the espionage, the executions--as well as the news of the growing Thargoid incursion, and I couldn't be happier to have migrated...
Getting My House In OrderBreathing room.. I think the highest my bank account has ever been was just over the amount I needed to buy a Corvette. Being primarily an explorer, I've made a decent bit of coin being out in the black. But the Void Opal, Low Temp Diamond boom was...
Distant Worlds 2 versus The InbredsIt don't take all kinds, we just GOT all kinds. That's how I see it. I heard from one of my fellow Silverbacks that the Neanderthal inbreds are out in force at Pallaeni System where thousands of commanders are gathering for the launch of the Distant...
"Look, Ma! I'm a MINER!" or "Thoughts on Distant Worlds 2"I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm actually trying out mining. Some of my Silverbacks kin have been chewing up the wave with how great mining is now that the galaxy has new tools. Sad to say, the things that fetch a pretty credit back in the Core...
Back Home at Colonia Dream...AgainI have GOT to stop doing this. Lately it seems I just get home when something drives me to make another trip back to the Core. Well, I just need to stop. And this trip took me longer than the last time. Mostly it was because the best I could get out...
Nighty Night, 90 Jumps Short of Rohini It's been a long day, very taxing. Okay, so I know there's not much to do when you're jumping endlessly on the way to Colonia. And I am doing some detail scans of systems to at least make a few credits when I pull in. But about 40 jumps in the...
Galactic Yo-Yo Here's your hat, what's your hurry. That's the old saying that comes to mind here. I feel like I hadn't been home very long at all after three months in the core systems. But when I saw the Mamba had been launched I tried to patiently wait to see...
3 Days To Get Home--New Personal BestI can't tell you how glad I am to get home to my sky. I love Colonia. For all its faults--lack of A-rated modules, certain ships missing from shipyards, no Guardian sites--the sky is glorious and there are no Thargoids. So, to make my way back from...
