Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

It's just always been one of the default brushes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program (the GIMP)!

But perhaps coincidentally, by tradition for millenia, nightshade vegetables have been the universal common sign of higher exploration statistics when comparing rows.

So the royal award ceremony would lay a fresh pepper on the favored cartographic data, and sacrifice the loser along with their rubbish contribution
What about rhubarb?
 
Not my FC. Somebody else parked one there, which was handy for cashing in exobio and cartographic data. Can't say I envy the folks assigned there; it's a loooong way from any civilisation. Makes me wonder how much FC get paid.
They volunteer, there's a waiting list to get into DSSA, I think they can get up to 20% of your earnings. I know they soaked me but it was worth it with the cartographic data I was packing, didn't care so much about the exo stuff.
 
I think I should re-roll my engineering from long distance to sturdy, I hate it when my weapons cut out during a fight. It's so hard for me to give that up though.

My son is away at Uni. But in the Elite Dangerous galaxy, we both happen to be on the way to Sagittarius A* and called in here at the Great Annihilator on the way. Although I usually explore in a Phantom I am in the Anaconda for this trip as I'm going on the the "East" edge of the galaxy and want the 82ly jump range to make that easier.

I decided that scanning all the planets in that ridiculous system would be ridiculous. In other words, that is what I am doing. Had a little rest on the moon-of-a-moon.
Having a rest is good.

Although I haven’t been through one lately* I have in the past visited systems with around three times as many bodies as that, but that was in the bad old days when if you wanted details like volcanism or minerals present you had to get close to the body in question though not as close as we do now to map them unless you forgot your DSS.

*Having said that I expect one to show up in the next few jumps.

Now back in the Norma Arm on my trip back to the bubble.
 
Your adventures made me wish I could see everywhere I've been, so I gave a try at EDDiscovery, that read my journal in seconds and drew my roads around the bubble.
These are humble travels, but I was glad to see my first ever exploration(s) around the Witch Head nebula from last summer nonetheless.

Also, just unlocked the Sol permit :giggle:

I just docked in Rohini (CB-26) where this person named Sean gave me about a billion dollar bonus for all this bio data nobody had thought to pick yet. Took repairs and bought a replacement scorpion (and one of each fighter I'd lost). Other than that, the AFM and rescue limpet controller were taking good care of things. A great trip up the rupee noon's road, diverted to the Phantom Streak, then cut over to Rohini. Whereas he had went more straight from Veil West to Vladirmir Macdougal's (at CB-28). I like to cut over to the Eagle Nebula first too

Penny Noon often sounds quite off the charts, but in the end, after thinking about her words for some time, drinking a nice cup of tea/coffee//onionhead/thargian brandy, it will all make sense. ;)

Oh I'm sorry. I tend to type just like I would run on at the mouth, and, inflections, and antic clues, are just missing. A personal failing

Self,

I think you mean to say, that this may just be a coincidence. But, the green peppers on the graph may reflect a millenia-old tradition. Ancient pre-universe-knowledge cartographics lounges operated by a principle of "more carto data". Two challengers come, and upon the larger pile of data was laid a nightshade vegetable (usually a green pepper). The loser was rejected and destroyed along with their more meager data (considered lies/rubbish by the King).

A beautiful father and son moment. As Dom Toretto would say, space is all about family.
