Stardate 17.03.3311

I have not discovered any black hole since I have started Elite 5 years ago, not a single one even when I circumnavigated the Galaxy. But recently I have discovered many of them, just last week while travelling through Norma Arm, I have discovered 22, and then today, in one day I have found another 10 black holes right after entering the Odin's Hold region.

1. Whambio BF-A f2383
2. Whambio IR-W e1-5840
3. Whambio IR-W e1-10019
4. Whamboe BA-A g918

Stardate 18.03.3311

Discovered a K class star system containing 8 bio signals on one rocky body (the highest number of bio signals on one body I ever had was 9) - system Dryoea Flyuae WM-N c22-527.

33rd Black Hole discovered in system Dryoea Flyuae RJ-Q e5-6449.

34th Black Hole discovered in system Dryoea Flyuae CL-Y g338.

Stardate 18.03.3311

35th Black Hole discovered in system Dryoea Flyuae IC-V f2-4829.

Stardate 21.03.3311

Discovered a 0 class star system - Dryio Flyuae LC-V f2-3437 - with two B star orbiting very close.

The only planet in the system is a metal rich body, containing 2 GEO and 1 BIO signals, so I went there to explore more. Scanned one Sulphur Dioxide Fumarole, one Sillicate Vapour gas vent and one Luteolum Anemone. Could see two Anemone levitating few meters above the ground.

Discovered a Neutron Star system, with a M and K class stars, containing 5 terraformable bodies (4 HCMW and 1 WW). Orbiting the water world, is a landable rocky world with 5 bio signals, where I saw for the first time this type of stratum - Laminamus (lime).

Few jumps later, came accross another Neutron Star - the star already discovered, but apparently someone quickly passed through this system - Eoch Pruae VI-B d146 - as none of the bodies were named and scanned. Went to scan and explore one HCMW with 2 bio signals, and during the landing had the privilege of having this nice view.

Stardate 23.03.3311

Visited one of the many planetary nebula in this region, system Eoch Pruae VT-A e7027 already discovered, but not all planet mapped - tagged my name on one of them, and enjoyed the view of the F class star orbiting very closely to the Neutron Star, and the blueish colors of the nebula in the background.

Stardate 04.03.3311

Docked on the FC TANIKAZE [G8Y-N6F] in the system Iockols MR-M d7-111, and took the opportunity to chill and have fun in the bar, meeting some fellow travellers and explorers and sharing some good brews with them - good time! Took also the opportunity to sell all my bio scans in the vistagenomics section - made some nice 5 billions credits, and earned the Elite II exobiologist rank.

Few jumps later, I have found some Fumerola Extremus lime in this black hole system - Iockols MC-V e2-904, on the surface of a rocky world with methane atmosphere (2 B A) orbiting very closely another rocky world (2 B), both orbiting a Y dwarf with rings. The black hole was visible from the surface of the body despite being 3'785ls distant.

My 4th atmospheric with rings (and two biological signals) - system Eok Flyao TA-I c25-23

Stardate 27.01.3311

I have decided to change my original planned route, and instead of heading directly to the galactic center - Sag A, I will go first to Colonia - and get me a fleet carrier there. Spent some time analyzing ED Astrometric galactic map, checked for nebulas, DSSA fleet carriers in that part of the Galaxy, and came to the conclusion that my next stop on the way to Colonia will be the FC DSSA Totoro [NNW-23Z] located in system Greae Phoea XF-D d13-507, near the Isegrim Nebula. There are few planetary nebulas on the way, that I will take the time to visit and explore.

Also, from my current position - system Eok Flyao EI-I d10-279 - while I am approaching the border between the Arcadian Stream and Norma Arm region, I can see a dense cluster of stars ahead of me - sharing few pics of the views:

Stardate 31.01.3311

First planetary nebula visited in this region - system Oephail LS-T e3-22 - already discovered - visited only by two fellow commanders before me.

Stardate 03.02.3311

Nice view of another planetary nebula taken from the surface of an icy body with argon atmosphere - system Oephairgh MV-X c14-440 1 f

Stardate 10.02.3311

I am now close to the exit of Arcadian Stream region, near the border of Norma Arm, where I visited my 4th planetary nebula and stopped in a nearby system - ephairgh MW-M c7-225 - just 2ly from where I could have a nice view of both the nebula and two very close orbiting suns.

Stardate 10.02.3311

In the system Oephairgh NX-T d3-774 I have found a high metalic content world just 10ls from its main G class star. The surface of the body is mainly composed of burning lava - what a view.

ps: I have recently passed my 7'600 1st discovered system.

Stardate 19.02.3311

Another planetary nebula visited, system Eumowns NS-U e2-447 discovered already, but was lucky to be the first one to map one of its body. Visited the black hole and enjoyed the amazing view of the nebula and its blue-orange colors.

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 longer in deep sleep than the 3 months I have planned and set the system for.... I have rechecked the logs and system parameters, and yes, I have been more than 15 months in hibernation! one year more than planned! Could not find the root cause of this error, all system entries were correctly enterred... a mystery for the time being.

I'm 22K ly away from Sol, in Norma Expanse region in the system Eock Flyuae OZ-D d13-122. I have realized that this prolonged absence made me loose my fleet career - as I did not have enough of finance reserve for the fees... I had a reserve for 6 months, but not for a year and a half... damn, another shocking discovery.

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

After some reflection, I have finally decided to proceed forward as planned - towards the Galactic center and then Colonia, and explore along the route. However I will this time not go with the economical routes anymore. 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... and 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 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

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.

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.

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

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.
