After plotting my own course out to the recent Guardian site (where The prospect is) I managed to hitch a ride on The Conduit barely 20 minutes before it made the jump back to Zende. Now I've decided I'm making another trip out to the Witch Head Nebula (because it's the nearest puff of pretty space clouds I could find) and low and behold, a mere 2 jumps from Zende, I found this view:
Despite the fact that I was on Distant Worlds 2, this is the first time I've ever gotten a surface shot with rings, not to mention the additional ringed world in the background. FYI that other one was my original target but the surface temp said over 43,000 Atmospheres and I didn't want the Gnosis to wind up like the Venera probes so I went with this one instead
Well...and since I finally arrived, I suppose a few pictures of the Witch's Head Nebula are in order:
Got really lucky with the angle. Went to a different system first and just happened there were no landable planets. Went to another system just to find a landable planet and suddenly *boom* the Nebula actually looks like a Witch's Head now.
Sad that the last post in here is me, from 2 months earlier.
I'm still on the same expedition as I was then, but (probably) heading toward home. I'm now coming back through the Errant Marches, and will probably turn toward the bubble sometime soon.
I tried to capture a screen shot yesterday where there was a contact by the name of "CMDR Jebediah Kerman", but I missed out because I spent too long trying to figure out how to do it. Such a noob
