Made it to Prieluia LH-D d12-142 today. I may try to do a little more tonight though. Saw a few nice things along the way including my 5th water world, and a gas giant with life!

    The water world I found was like yours Dennis Wronka. No features at all. Just a drop of water in space.

    I'm not gonna be making any progress tonight. Just came home and have a really bad toothache. :-(

    Dennis Wronka I know what that is like. Ouch! Hope it's better!

    Max Acceleration Opened the Ouzo, lacking regular pain killers. ;-)

    Dennis Wronka I truly believe that hard liquor was invented because of tooth aches.

    Max Acceleration I don't know. But it is helping. But then again, is it advisable to steer a multi-million credit spacecraft near those great balls of fire under the influence, 8000 lightyears from home? ;-)

    Dennis Wronka Lol, got that right. It's tricky under normal circumstances!

    It really is funny how we're on the same trip but we're finding totally different things. I've found dozens of gas giants with water- and ammonia-based life (including a binary pair with one of each - expect an interplanetary war in a billion years or so) but I still haven't seen a single water giant.

    James Dominguez I know. I've only found 3 ammonia worlds and no ELWs. It's kind of a mixed batch out here. Sounds like each of us have some unique finds and then lots of overlap. Guess we will each have our own story to tell of the trip. We'll have to make sure we all meet up at the same time at the next big waypoint.

    If all else fails, I'll see you at the Great Annihilator. ;)

    James Dominguez I wouldn't miss visiting the Great Annihilator. I'll make that stop for sure.

I didn't make it far today. Only 200 ly.

I didn't make it far today. Only 200 ly. As I had planned I visited all the class O stars in NGC 6357. In the third of these systems I came across the first black hole. I ended up spending most of 2.5h visiting those systems. In total I have found 5 black holes and a neutron star. And an ELW in a system between the ones I targeted. So while I didn't make much progress towards Sagittarius A*, I did make a bit of progress towards Elite Explorer.

The various hints and rumours about the Formadine Rift have been playing on my mind.

The various hints and rumours about the Formadine Rift have been playing on my mind. I'm strongly tempted to take my anaconda out for a research mission. I still have a 2nd account so it would make more sense to take that one instead of my main one but that account has virtually no money so maybe someone could drop me a few creds of cargo. So.. this is me suggesting we run a parallel exploration trip with some lightly armed surface capable ships. Who is in?
