I can't remember exactly where I was when I took this, but I'm pretty sure it was one of those "scan some base data points and get data materials" sort of thing.

I left my Python parked some distance away for a getaway without it being too close to base defences. It won't be targeted until I actually dock the SRV back into it, but the further away the better. Behind a hill would be best.

I'm writing up this Logbook entry years later, but from memory this was one of those random missions that would turn up in your inbox with co-ordinates on a moon to go visit.

I can't remember where this was and it doesn't really seem to line up with anything in my Flight Logs.

I was cruising through a system and bumped into a Farragut Battle Cruiser. I couldn't get too close before they started telling me to back off. It's still a very impressive sight. They sure are big!

A crashed alien ship has just been discovered - so of course I had to fly out to see. The location of the crash site is on Pleiades Sector AB-W b2-4 9 a at -26.336/97.708

It's quite a spooky thing, obviously organic, and very, very alien!

The final waypoint was the LBN 623 Sector FW-W d1-100 system with a great view of the LBN 623 Nebula.

Close to where I landed, I noticed there was a nearby flat ledge where quite a few ships could land with a view over the surrounding landscape.

This is actualy quite close to the bubble - it was only six jumps to the Sothis system, famous for well-paying missions back to the bubble.

From there it was just another few hours flying to get to the official completion waypoint for the expedition - back where we started - Epsilon Indi.

The penultimate return waypoint was California Sector BQ-Y d35.

The California Nebula was close enough to provide light on the 'dark side' of the moons in the system.

I decided to stop for the night here in the red twilight.

The next waypoint was the Flaming Star Emission Nebula. The official waypoint system for my return route was Flaming Star Sector GW-W c1-5.

Nothing special, just another one of the blue-purple 'butterfly' nebulae.

The first planned waypoint of the return trip was the Trifid of the North system.

The blue-purple nebula is a lot like other blue-purple nebulas in the game. This is the view from the Flaming Star Sector GW-W c1-5 system.

Close gas giants are always good for a photo.

Two days later I found a pair of Water Worlds in the Slegao TG-X c17-0 system - "AB 1" and "AB 2".

After three days at the Crab Nebula, I decided it was time to head home.

On my second day travelling, I found my first undiscovered Earth-Like World for the trip: Qiedeau BR-U d3-15 4.

In the same system, on Qiedeau BR-U d3-15 1 a, I spent some time driving the SRV around. This part of the world (48.6290/-7.6622) was a distinctive two-tone colour.
