Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[]M[]

Plugging away at CZ's. My progress bar, however, it's really creeping along - it seems much slower than previous ranks

Which level is that now? I've been DeadEye since late last year - still in not too much of a rush to reach Elite, as I quite like that title... :]

What are we supposed to call ELW's now, I was reading the planetary description and it was calling them "Outdoor worlds with human breathable atmosphere", that's a mouthful.

Oh was that an ELW? Mine were just Water Worlds and one Ammonia, though I did come across a pair of pre-discovered ELW's... re: naming - ELW is time-honoured & short - I think I'll keep with that ;]

I did come across a pair of unmapped ELW's in a system that had been discovered before... re: naming - ELW is time-honoured & short - I think I'll keep with that ;]

I think we can keep ELW. It means basically the same.
Some scientists love their convoluted, very descriptive names. I doubt "OWWHBA" would stick as well with the public. Sounds to me more like something you would hear in "Once Upon A Time... Life" ...

There were some green splotches in the blue, which I haven't seen on WWs yet. I think this is a good measure to tell them apart...

Yeah, I've discovered three so far on this trip.

I think those splotches are dirt, with a human breathable atmosphere.

Anyway, I'm thinking of picking up a breakfast table for this spot on my ship, I'll pop into the next Ikea I come across and pick one up.

Whilst in super cruise, sorting through documents into: keep as current, destroy now, box for destruction in a few years time. Has to be done every now and then.

Trying to reach Elite 2

Trying to reach Elite 2

Well, when I'm back I should probably apply more concerted effort to at least reaching Mercenary Elite at last - letmeknow if you'd like to team up for some rank grind more intensive CZ action - i will bring beer & pizza to fuel the endeavour

 

[0threeleven]

Haven't seen this in quite sometime, Osseus Pellebantus.

 

[]M[]

Currently at a pair of icy moons, in close binary orbit, just off the edge of the nearby gas giant's rings... bringing the carrier in with a mining ship to inspect the Tritium hotspots - but mostly this is about the views really

Best first footie in a while ^^

We can stick with Earth Like World until global warming and pollution do for the atmosphere and climate then we have to switch to the verbose version.

At current rate, may be destined to become a metal-rich rocky world with CO2 atmosphere in the 350-500K range...

That's an impressive feat, how high? It looks as though you paid the ultimate price in that last screen shot.

The jump of a geyser. Or geezar, depending on your perspective

I'm not entirely sure tbh - looking through the REC, on the first jump (which I survived), I was over 400m ...on the second (which I didn't...), the SRV auto-destructed at 1.5km and later on the ship had dismissed itself - so, over 2km I presume?

Either way it was a lot more fun than Tritium mining, even in a pristine hotspot!

...I really wish they'd take the Galactic_TritiumDistribution_Coefficient (or whatever it's called) and just multiply it by 10 100 1000 ;]
