First Exploration Run

[Zioxo]

Just made my Diamondback Explorer and put it together, first several jumps we slow as I left the civilized bubble, made my way to the Pleiades Nebula to find the Obsidian Station floating around a planet. Was able to resupply and move on.
With a chance to catch my breath I looked to the Witch Head Nebula to scour the systems and from time to time land on a planet.
Nearing my trip I jumped into a system with twin suns. Though it scared me as I flew through one of them, I eventually made it to the edge of the nebula. Day 1 ends here. Day 2 will be making it to the Running man Nebula area and running down the large river of systems that run near it.

CMDR Zioxo Signing off.

So far, this is fun I have never really left the occupied space. Need to play music next time to be more motivated though.

Enjoy the trip Zioxo

Fly safe - Close binaries can toast a bit of paint lol

Good luck Cmdr.

Remember to fly away from the stars within nebulae to get the fullest breath of colour for screenies !

Good luck - I enjoyed my recent trip for the unknown of what I was jumping into - fly safe and always remember to throttle back once your sc counts down to save mishaps

Good luck Cmdr.

This goes for all systems, you need to move about two hundred light seconds at the least, away from a star to get the full view of space around you.

For nebula, you can get even more visibility by landing or orbiting around on the night side of a planet.

Day 2, From the witchhead nebula looked at the course to the Running man and Orion Nebula. Made it to Spirograph Nebula and NGC 1999 to gain some extra exploration which made the run interesting. Upon arrival to the Running man nebula I ran into two Salvageable wreckage of an Eagle and a Sidewinder (poor guys) and made it to a point where I got a good shot of both nebula near one another and started back to Azrael to turn them in. In Short I made about 800k~1.1m including one rank up. (Surveyor)
