Stardate 09.01.3311

Woke up from cryo-sleep, feeling hungry, rusty and foggy. Checked the date, and was shocked to discover that for an unknown reason I have been much more in deep sleep than the 3 months I have planned and set the system for.... rechecked the logs, and shocked to realize that I have been a bit more than 15 months in hibernation! one year more than planned!

I'm far away, 22k ly from Sol, in Norma Expanse in system Eock Flyuae OZ-D d13-122, and discovered that I've lost my fleet career - did not have enough of finance reserve for the fees... damn, another shocking discovery.

Reflected a bit on what to do now: return back to the bubble, get a new FC, or proceed as initially planned - towards Sag A, then Colonia with my DBX. Need to check fully the ship systems on first occasion - if the cryosleep setup failed, God knows what else may not be running as it should.

I have decided to proceed forward as planned, explore along the route, however will not go with the economical route setting anymore - I need to find a station asap, and perform a full system check and repair. So will plan a route using the max jump range of 75ly that I can make with my DBX. That's ~150 jumps until Sag A. Will check if there is any FC on the way. Priority is to check and repair the ship on first occasion. Will be extra cautious going forward.

Took some time to check Galnet... wow, so many things happened in and around the Bubble, and yes! we finished victorious against Thargoids attacks in Sol.

Here one shot made while doing some bio scans on a planet with 8 signals, system: MYNOART OJ-X D2-21

I'm back in action, more to come! cmdr Savo4c

Stardate 18.05.3309

I have arrived in Norma Expanse region from Hawking's Gap few days ago, and then visited the planetary nebula - Grie Hypue RS-U e2-0 - red/green colors supernova style, with a black hole at its center. Based on EDSM data, this area was visited since the creation of Elite only by 7 people before me. I have not stayed much in this system, as a part of the Black Hole there were no other astral bodies, nothing else to be explored, so I rapidly moved on. With a few visited and discovered systems later, I have achieved the milestone of 7'000 first discovered systems. I am now heading towards another planetary nebula - Coerns WP-X e1-14 - located some 2.4kly north, using the economical route, with the purpose of exploring as much as possible on the way.

Stardate 22.05.3309

First time I have seen this type of lifeform - a Recepta (Umbrux) - in system Grie Hypue ER-L d8-7, Ice world A 3 e, orbiting a class IV gas giant with rings.

Stardate 04.06.3309

Here another 1st time seen exobiology - Cactoida Peperatis - found on planet B 3 in system Grie Hypue RZ-E d12-5.

Stardate 30.06.3309

Lucky with this system - Blooe Phoe AA-X d2-27 - offering 8 terraformable astral bodies:

Blooe Phoe AA-X d2-27 A 7 Water world 2,888,098 cr 2,388 ls
Blooe Phoe AA-X d2-27 B 2 Water world 2,521,633 cr 19,561 ls

Blooe Phoe AA-X d2-27 A 7 a Rocky body 1,236,232 cr 2,389 ls

Stardate 01.07.3309

This system Blooe Phoe WE-O d7-3 has plenty of exobiology signals scattered across 6 astral bodies for a total of 35 exobio signals. Called my FC Nikola Tesla Z.O.V. to be stationed in orbit of the last planet I have planned to explore, and after I have explored and scanned all exobio signals, I have cashed a total of 667milions of credit, just with this system.

On this first planet I have visited - 1F - an ice world with Sulphure Dioxide atmosphere , there was only 1 bio signal, and I thought it would be some bacteria. I still went there to map, and to my surprise the signals are some Receptas, a kind that I saw for the first time: Recepta Conditivus.

Some other pictures made during this system exploration.

Stardate 29.07.3309

Achieved today the ExoBiologist Elite I mark, in system Blooe Phoe VP-D d13-52 - in which I have analysed 9 different bio-signals.

Stardate 30.07.3309

Arrived at the planetary nebula system - Coerns WP-X e1-14 - with a Neutron star at its center, one gas giant and two ringed hcmw. Already discovered, mapped, 1st footfalls, and with nothing particular to explore further. Heading now to a nearby other planetary nebula located 486ly towards my planned route, the galactic core.

Stardate 06.08.3309

I have arrived in the planetary nebula - Grie Phoe NN-S e4-1 - with also a Neutron star as the main sequence star, and same nice orange-greenish colors, as the one i have visited few days ago, some ~500ly south of the current position. This system is also entirely discovered, however not all astral bodies were mapped, and some landable planets were not having 1st footfall prints on them. I took the opportunity to mark my name on the 3rd rocky body orbiting the Y dwarf with Ring - AB 1 C, leaving the 4 other moons to be marked by some other explorers that may venture around here in the future.

This shot was made just before arriving in the planetary nebula system, in the nearby system - Location: Grie Phoe GA-P b39-10 - where on the 4 icy world I have discovered some nice blue Electricae Radialem.

Stardate 16.08.3309

Finally, first time since I transfered to Odyssey (September last year), and after having travelled more than 20K LY, made more than 450 systems discoveris, I have discovered a landable planet with atmosphere, and rings - system Grie Phoe KO-F d12-16 - ice world BCD 1 G, orbiting a class III blue gas giant with rings.

Stardate 23.11.3308

Crossed the Outer Orion Spur region border and stepped into Hawking's Gap, a dozen more jumps until reaching the Three Worlds Nebula.

Stardate 26.11.3308

Arrived in Three Worlds Nebula - system Thaile HW-V e2-7 - with a Neutron star as the main sequence star, one ELW, one WW and Ammonia - both terraformable. The system contains also two notable stellar phenomena - identical: yellow stormy lagrange clouds with pedoncle trees.

Stardate 27.11.3308

After having explored the Three Worlds Nebula and the surrounding systems, mostly discovered and mapped, I have continued my route towards the galactic core, in direction of another planetary nebula (Pyroifooe UO-Z e34) located approximately 1.2K ly further north-east.

~300ly in that direction, I have arrived in an unexplored system - Thailiae RQ-K d9-36, containing planets with many biological signals: 2 planets with 7 bio signals, and 1 planet with 6. Here below few snaps of the Fungoida Gelata.

Stardate 02.12.3308

Arrived in planetary nebula Pyroifooe UO-Z e34 with a Neutron as the main sequence star. System already discovered, but surprisingly not fully mapped. I mapped one moon only, and landed on one rock world orbiting close to a Class III gas giant with rings, scanned for Codex few geo signals (lava spouts, fumeroles, vents).

Stardate 03.12.3308

89th ELW discovered in system Pyroifooe AW-T d4-129. Additionally 1x WW and 2 terraformable HCMW located in the same system.

Stardate 04.12.3308

Found a rocky world with ammonia atmosphere and with 7 bio signals. Here a shot of a cluster of Tubus Rosarium. I have also achieved Elite Explorer I.

Stardate 07.12.3308

91st ELW discovered in system Pyroifooe BW-T d4-146, and two terraformable HCMW.

Stardate 07.12.3308

This F class star system Pyroifooe DR-T d4-172 is a little golden mine for exploration, containing one terraformable HCMW as well as its rocky world satelite.

Both class II gas giants are having orbiting rocky world moons with many biological signals:

AB3 having 2 rocky worlds with each having 8 bio signals, and 1 with 5 signals. AB4 with 3 rocky worlds with each having 4 bio signals, one with 3 and one with 2.

Will most probably spend some time here while exploring and scanning all signals.

Stardate 07.11.3308

On my way from x Carinae G class super giant and the Eta Carina Nebula, I have observed a cluster of bright stars, located some 7'700ly from Sol, that I have decided to explore. The cluster is composed mainly of B and few O class stars, all discovered already, and mostly mapped. I have taken the opportunity to be the first to set the foot on some planets and proceed with some exobiology exploration. Here some shots taken during that trip.

Location: V401 Carinae 1c

Location: NGC 3293 ESL 50

Location: somewhere in NGC 3324 area

Stardate 12.11.3308

Arrived in the Eta Carina area, a beautiful big nebula located som 9'000ly from Sol.

Stardate 14.11.3308

Arrived in GCRV 6493 system - a blue colored planetary nebula with a Notable Stellar Phenomena: Roseum Lagrange Cloud with Crystalline Shards - beautiful!

I like all my ships, but must admit, that Krait MK II is my fave for real!

Stardate 14.11.3308

Found two interesting exobio plants in the system Graea Eoq WZ-D c13-0 on the 6th planet a rocky ice world with 4 biological signals.

Fungoida Bullarum

Tussock Capillum

Stardate 15.11.3308

After a thorough exobio research made on this planet with a binary star view - system Graea Eoq GN-A c1-0 BC 2, had some fun racing with the rover.

Stardate 19.11.3308

My fleet career tritium reserve decreased to 75% and I have been looking these last days for a system with gas giants or planets with icy rings containing tritium. After more than 20 system visited without finding tritium, I cam across system - Graea Eoq BL-C c14-0 - with two gas giants with icy rings, but no tritium neither. However, saw this icy moon 2 A, very close to the rings and with a good angle - had to land for the view!

Stardate 21.11.3308

Finally found a system with Tritium - Graea Eoq KS-P c20-0, spent few hours to fill up to the max my FC, and even added some additional 100t in reserve. Time to continue the exploration towards the Three Worlds planetary Nebula, some 1000 ly up "north" from my current position.

Stardate 22.11.3308

Few system after my departure, came accross this system Graea Eoq PD-I d10-4 with 2 WW and 6 terraformable HCMW. Will spend now some time mapping them all and generate some 15mio of earnings.

Stardate 30.10.3308

After more than two years, I jumped again on my Kobra, beautiful little space ship in which I made my first expedition out of the bubble, a small one up to California nebula only, but at that time my max range was 20ly. This time again in the Cobra and went exploring on my way to X Carinae. Not optimally engineered and equipped, but still making jumps of 30ly, which is totally fine as I am not in a hurry at all. In the system - IC 2944 Sector VN-A b18-1 - on a little icy world 2 C with Argon atmosphere - with 2 geo and 3 bio signals, I have discovered for the first time some Fumerola Nitris.

Here some shots of the Bacterium Omentum made nearby the fumerola.

Stardate 31.10.3308

Arrived in X Carinae system, with the main sequence star being a Super Giant G class star. The huge size of the star is visible from class V gas giant with rings that is some 4300ls away - incredible site!

Stardate 23.09.3308

After some hesitations, I finally applied to the transfer from console to PC. True that I will be missing my relax setup: on the couch with XBOX controllers and 64" 4K ambilight TV, but the improved graphics with Odyssey on PC, and the possibility to have 2 years of grind, exploration data transferred to PC and to be able to continue the adventure is worth it. Now on PC, I have repurchased the FC, and I am about to depart for another exploration, this time will be focusing on the central galactic area.

Stardate 21.10.3308

87th ELW discovered in system NGC 4609 Sector UT-Q d5-57.

Stardate 22.10.3308

It's been one month since I have repurchased the FC and departed the bubble for a new exploration trip. I have reached the border of the Inner Orion Spur region and about to enter the Outer Orin Spur region with the aim to visit X Carinae. In this one month travel and exploration I must say that I am amazed by the beauty of Odyssey: Planets, terrain textures are so much more realistic and good looking increasing the immersion feeling. Started my first step in exobiology and discovered many new xenoflora types (tussocks, electricae, osseums, bacterias, cactoidas, etc..), currently reached the rank of Collector. Below some screens made during that first part of my trip.

NGC 4463 Planetary Nebula:
