Scrump Landing is on Pleiades Sector JN-S b4-3 2 at -0.3434/12.9216.
I logged off overnight. A Thargoid appeared when I logged back in the next night, and I was able to get a close-up photo while it scanned the settlement.
Betterton Outpost is found on HIP 19792 C 2 at -24.7065/6.5560.
The Bug Killer Crashed Anaconda is a site on HIP 16613 1 a at -11.0093/-95.6755 where you can find the remains of an Anaconda with some logs you can scan and listen to. There are also various high-grade materials scattered about.
Occasionally, a Thargoid or two will appear at the site. It will scan the wreckage and your ship before flying off.
There's also a crashed SRV with another log entry and more materials a few kilometers away. You should be able to see a green glow from the Anaconda site.
I've not long finished fitting out and engineering my Beluga Liner for Distant Worlds 2.
After the final bit of thruster engineering at Maia, I thought I'd visit the various abandoned and attacked settlements out that way, followed by the Inra bases that were revealed while I was away on my galactic exploration expedition.
My first stop here is Site 94, found on HIP 19284 A 2 d at -32.21/-125.90(Odyssey) or -19.06/-99.45(Horizons).
I logged off for the night. When I logged back in the following night, a Thargoid appeared, did some scanning, then started attacking the base!
I just noticed on logging on that my last couple of jumps last night brought my total distance travelled in the game to over 800,000Ly. Only 200,000Ly more to reach the 1,000,000Ly mark!
Like the mass jump at WP6, a vast number of commanders filled the instance.
As the time counted down, everyone formed into a great long line of ships.
And so the Small Worlds Expedition 3 comes to an end.
I came to SWE3 at the end of a six month trek across the galaxy, initially visiting Colonia before heading to Beagle Point, Star One, and the Formidine Rift. In all the trip, I didn't crash into a star or a planet, or emergency drop the FSD while performing repairs. I managed to do all that on SWE3. I should hand in my Elite Explorer rank.
The meetup for WP9 was on LBN 623 Sector FW-W d1-100 6 a at 76.29/90.24.
It was at the bottom of a deep crater. Looking up was like looking through a window into the universe.
It's almost time for the last mass jump of the expedition...
Before heading to WP9, I took a sightseeing detour to see some strange formations in the rings of a planet.
It turns out that when rings are huge, they can generate rocks that clump togther in patterns.
These can be found in the outer ring of HIP 104643 AB 1 a which has an outer radius of 535,510km.
The WP8 meetup was on Veil West Sector DL-Y d68 D 4 f at -49.06/-82.08.
The view of the Veil Nebula West over the meetup site was absolutely spectacular!
The meetup site itself was up on the top of a narrow icy ridge. While it might look impressive when you're flying over it at altitude, it is no fun at all for SRV driving. Canyoning would probably be quite exciting.
WP7 was on IC 4604 Sector FB-X c1-16 A 1 a (now called Sheron) at -3.74/29.41.
Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the event!
