Re: Exoplanet discovery trip

Getting closer now, I was almost the hot cheese in a double star sandwich in this system.
Kepler 18 was to be my final destination for the night on the outskirts of the bubble, but I diverted to Oduduni just to check it out. Was surprised to see a couple of outposts here but before I managed to lock on and head for one I also noticed a lot of ships milling around. Pirates no doubt, so rather than risk an interdiction with no shields or weapons I jumped straight to Kepler 18, then out again as there was nothing there.
My first station for over 2 months ...
The final 700ls limping in to this port were the most nerve-wracking of the whole trip. Almost forgot how to dock and the key for my landing gear but am now finally back in-station at the aptly named Planck Port!
Now what to do with all this exploration data - and more importantly where to go next!
Thanks for reading!
