Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

I’m about half of the way there as is - I’m setting carrier 500LY jumps and following /exploring in my DBX, instead of jumping ahead and calling the FC in for support when I find something interesting… ;]
Good idea. By the time you have explored your way to the next carrier waypoint, it might have reached that destination, too...

While collecting encoded and manufactured mats, I noticed that the station controllers don't bother anymore asking me to stow away my non-existent weapons when I activate the wake scanner inside the no-fire zone ...

Cry, little sister (Thou shall not fall)
Come, come to your brother (Thou shall not die)
Unchain me, sister (Thou shall not fear)
Love is with your brother (Thou shall not kill)

And this song in this bar I'm at sounds very much like "Blockbuster" by The Sweet.

Well, today, it was business as usual, again.
SC: "You are in a no-fire zone. Please stow away your weapons."
Me: "Weapons? What weapons? My hardpoints are empty."
SC: "But there was an energy surge..."
Me: "That definitely wasn't from my ship. I'm only scanning wakes for some data. But one of the authority ships passed me, guns blazing."
SC: "Oh... Im sorry. Carry on."

I had a dream last night...
I dreamed i woke up
Woke up in fields of glowing Fungoids...
On rolling foothills
Glowing with morning light...
Enough of the elusive little cough
Both close and far enough
To land just once
And scan on foot...
There was Frutexa on the side even...

My first one about an hour or so ago was 42 minutes. My last one was 35.

I've learnt two things in this last high CZ. Firstly, the Manticore Oppressor is rubbish. Secondly, the L-6 runs out of ammo too quickly, even with the mag size mod.

I think, for my preferred "style" in a CZ, dual wielding Aphelion's with a Zenith is heaps more effective.
 
Hi Everybody :)

Carrier jump times are still vicious. I hope someone at HQ has a brainstorm on it tomorrow when they're all back in the office (or doing the WFH thing).

It's varying a bit now - i started quite early this AM and got the first <20min jump since Thursday - the next one later on took longer though... what are the lead times like now?
I'm exploring at the moment, about 5500 Ly from Sol. in Solo.
Just decided to move my Carrier, 52 minutes aprox. jump time. 🥱
Feels like I'm playing chess with a grand master. ☺️

To pass the time I'm using / trawling the Galaxy map to find some undiscovered 'S' class (Carbon) Stars, it's like looking for hen's teeth! 😄

Jack :)

Just jumping my carrier too - 25 minutes for me.

You should be in the Evil Juice Book of Records for finding Fungoida Setisis at such a flat and landable location.

Whenever I find it is almost invariably on or near the top of something like that ridge in the background.
