Commanders Log ---- Star Date 3307(Elite Dangerous Exploration AAR)

In A Previous Life…

A new commander (changed from Xbox to PC) Actually this commander is older than my Xbox one.

I had to redo all my engineer progress and really get back into things again. Once i got the materials I needed to get my DBX back up to par, I decided to take a little journey and test it out.

Off We go in the Andromeda Wanderer

First up a nice water world

Up next an ELW and if you look closely off the left wing another ELW.

Thats a bright star

And some cool shots, including a neat ring planet

This little journey was about 45 jumps and netted me a cool 70 million. Right now Im in Ngalinn grinding Empire rank.

However I am planning my next journey which should be awesome! Stay tuned for more

Having made it to the rank of Baron in the Empire, I decided it was time to set off on some more explorations. My goal is Duke in the empire so I can get a sweet sweet ride. However I need money for that first.

So off we go on my first trip,

A couple of rocky worlds in close orbit

A couple of stars, a M and T if I remember correct.

4 jumps in an ELW

And finally my destination of my first trip, Antares

Decided to go for a look at the closest planet

And landed on the 1.8g surface and almost died!

Had to take a quick trip to Quince to repair some hull damage. Next up we are traveling to VV Cephei. Fly safe Commanders!

Dual M star I believe,

And finally Ky Cygni!

Uneventful trip as far as exploration goes, Had multiple 1 to 3 star systems with nothing else in them.

UP next 51 jumps to Mu Cephei

Hello commanders!

Back exploring again,

Here are some shots from somewhere in the galaxy lol!

I believe this is Mu Cephei.

Next up is VY Caniss Majoris, Which I believe is the largest star in game.

I love close star combos,

Sometimes you get some great sights while cruising around the galaxy

Another twin star system,

And parking here with 61 jumps left to get to VY Caniss Majoris

After getting to VY Caniss Majoris then its back to Achenar and hopefully I can get Elite in exploration and move to Jameson Memorial

Some interesting sights on the way to VY Caniss Majoris.

A Y star(i believe) with rings.

Three stars orbiting each other…

Fuel scooping

T star

VY Caniss Majoris

33 jumps to home…

And finally home!!!

Turned in some exploration data to the tune of 50 million, Already thinking about going back out into the dark for more exploration. But I might enjoy civilization for a bit and grind some Empire rank. Currently one rank away from Elite in exploration.

Dec 3310, Thargoid threat appears to be gone and I have made it back to the bubble. Toyed around with pledging to a Power play power, but ultimately decided to take up Exobiology with my exploration instead. Almost blew my ship up landing on a planet, well looking for some bacteria, Found out my DBX can bounce off the surface of a planet and only lose 66% of it Hull…Fun 16 jumps back to the bubble for repairs. Worth it as that planet gave me $8 million and the repairs cost $2k.

Good to be back! Headed back out into the void soon

Fly Safe Commanders!
