I almost went on this trip without shields and at the last minute decided I should have them so I installed a lower class "D" shield just to protect against bumps. It also makes me feel safer somehow having it, lol.
Glad you guys were able to meet up. Too bad all 4 of us could not do it. I think I would have been there early enough if not for Internet issues. It's been a bad week so far for Internet problems.I think the elders of the Internet are messing with me, lol.
Also, the stress test seems to be playing havoc with E:D's already flaky network code. I had a night off after pushing to SagA, watched four episodes of Black Mirror.
James Dominguez I side wiped james shield (totally by accident) and lost 1 percent of my hull.... Good news is logged in, and found my hull has regenerated. And I got my 1 percent back !!!! Never know, that 1 precent night be enough to get me home safely..
Micheal May it was the gravitational effects of the black hole. You warped through time back to before you hit James Dominguez so the damage never happened, lol.
Max Acceleration yes...yes that's it totally correct - having said that.... Did I ever get there at all... Maybe, I'm still at Jameson memorial preparing to take off
If I average 30 jumps an hour for the rest of the way back to the Bubble, I reckon it's going to take me another 15 hours of flight time to make it back to cash in my explorer data. Oh my... Originally shared by Iain McC Today's exploration statistics (to accompany the pretty pictures): Hours flown: 12 Nebulae visited: 2 (IOWHAIL & FROARKS) Systems surveyed: 200-ish? Distance from Great Annihilator: 8.4kly Distance from Sag A*: 11.2kly Distance from Colonia: 10.6kly Distance from Shinrarta Dezhra: 14.7kly Minimum number of jumps back to the Bubble: 455 Heat sinks deployed: 1 (after being dumped out of hyperspace into the canyon between an A-type and an F-type binary pair) Notable bodies surveyed: 25 Neutron stars (15 first discoveries) 18 Costners (17 first discoveries) 7 Black holes (1 first discovery) 6 O-type supergiants (2 first discoveries) 6 Gas Giants with Water-Based Life (6 first discoveries) 1 Earth-Like World (1 first discovery) 1 MS-type star (1 first discovery)...
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. 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?
Some crazy close-ups there. :-)
ReplyDeleteJames Dominguez was very trusting.....
ReplyDeleteHey, I had shields. You apologised for hitting me once and I didn't even see a dip in my shields.

ReplyDeleteMicheal May time warping is pretty strange and undecipherable stuff, lol.
ReplyDeleteI really hope, E.d brings in wormholes and trans-galaxy movement. It would be great to have a few station out in the black, to dock and repair.
