Well done. Right now I'm at the point where if I get interdicted by an enemy Anaconda, I break out into a smirk. Their lack of rapid turning makes them easy meat for my fixed multi-cannons, once my beam gimbals and turrets have popped their shields, even though I'm flying my Type-10.
Maybe that will change as I progress further up the Combat rankings, but right now I'm more concerned when the enemy is flying a Fer-de-Lance. They're much harder to keep a bead on, and they have a Huge hardpoint while being a smaller target...
Found a lovely little planet that only needed two probes so all the bio's were pretty close together. It was a diverse life lump too, with a water atmosphere - I've only encountered one or two of those.
Here's a 16mCR cactus:
A 14mCR tussock:
A 12.9mCR Osseus:
Some clypeus simply because I like them:
Everything on this body was a codex entry too which really surprised me. I can't have found anywhere near as much as I'd originally thought in this sector. Of course, I wanted to get this into Vista asap, but recalling my ship sent it to land 1.76km away. On flat ground
And the second attempt had it take one look at said flat ground and decide to it wasn't good enough and fly off again. I mean...

Have you encountered an Annie with a fighter yet? They're great fun
.Love how ED shows the damage on ships, just don't retract your guns before you make a screenie, the damage disappears.

Here's one I've always enjoyed, right up there with the Reno Air Race, super modified tractor pull. The trailer/sled weighs 32,000 pounds (14,515 Kg) and starts as rolling weight, the counterweight slides forward onto a skid and it becomes dead weight. Some have gas turbines others up to 5 V8 engines, insane horse power.
Prefer top fuel drag and funny car personally
How about a couple of 11K HP ones:I used to watch those a lot when I was at Camp Pendleton, we'd drive up to Ontario Motor Speedway, the fumes would burn the crap out of my eyes. I watched a video of a tractor with two Merlin Rolls-Royce V12's with 5500 horsepower each, they each had twin turbo's 18 inches in diameter, the thing was a monster.Prefer top fuel drag and funny car personally

Hah.
I remember my "initiation" to drag racing many, many years ago. We'd got there quite late and loads of cars had been putting traction down before the Christmas tree. Then the jet car came out. My friends said "go and watch it from "The Barn"".
"The Barn" was an open sided but roofed shelter directly behind the start line, about 100 yards back.
Jet comes out, engine gets started. Whap. Whap. Flames...
I was picking bits of rubber off my face for ages after.
I think elf and safety got involved though and stopped spectators from going to The Barn!
Aaaanyway... my last bit of exo netted me 600mCR. So, that's what I'm doing now - more credits please! On, and the odd bit of old skool exploration.

I've been driving around a lot on this exo trip as it's more practical on the planets I've found. However, there's one thing that's been absent all this time... a Codgers Rock. Haven't seen one in ages...
You must be in Colonia?
What's a Codgers Rock?
Now that you mention it... Me neither.
It's a rock that I noticed some time ago, with a very distinctive shape. This makes it easy to identify when you see one. Most of the 'scattered' rocks are boring shapes that you really can't remember or distinguish, but this one sticks out.
I called it the "Rock of Ubiquity" when I made a post about it. But everyone else decided to called it "Codger's Rock".
If you find one on a planet, there will be many more on that planet.
Here's a few shots of it (them).
