Pawing at the Planetary Bell

How on earth did you make it to the skull and crossbones nebula? Isn't that well outside jump range?


It might be on the rim, but by no means is it inaccessible.

Heh, I'm about 30 minutes away from the Skull & Crossbones. are you still out here Katejina?

I'm in Mobius group if you want a little rendezvous :)

Ah, not really. I passed through it on my initial swing out along the arm. I am approximately 1,500ly away from NGC 3199 Nebula, in the sparsely populated area between the two arms. May finally be able to cross over today. I found a potential planetary nebula a couple days ago of which I screenshotted to save the name and what it looked like but I have not been able to search for the damn thing. Doesn't want to find anything even remotely related. :(
 
Nice. Hitting one of those with a name you know is probably rarer than an undiscovered earth like when you're off the beaten trail.

(and some people wonder why the rest of us like the tags...)
 
He tagged everything but the moons, lol!

I need to make a collection journal. Have found systems touched by Fen Harel and Murishani so far...

I've been noticing the searches on the galaxy map will often show up the wrong system, even if the correct one is named.

EG - Typing in Hypo Thetical c-32 G99-0 will go through every single "Hypo Thetical c-32 G99-x" system, except the one I'm looking for... Is that what's happening for you?

I'm going to file a bug report, but trying to figure out if there is a pattern...

I tried a few different names. Couldn't get any response from the query. I'm only approximately 3kly away though. I will try again soon.

Have you tried the old fashioned way? Search the skybox for the Planetary Nebula, and basically pick the star on the galaxy map that takes you int he right general direction, then plot a route that way - or follow a straight line on the galaxy map to the nebula.

I'm presuming you can see it, and that's how you found it - unless you stumbled on it messing around in the galaxy map?

You've been in the Perseus Arm. :)

Welp, I've got a year and a half to explore as much of the Milky Way as possible and then it's time to mvoe on to Andromeda...

THE HYPE IS REAL.

I know the feeling. I wasn't crazy about the Johnny Cash tune they used for the trailer, but I am very exciting about this. Plenty to time to do stuff in Elite until MEA lands.

Yeah, EA (or BioWare in this case I guess) choose some odd music choices for their trailers. I have to listen to it all damn day sometimes and even though I can tune out the Sims 4 music, it still gets annoying.

The DA:I Trailer is always nice to listen to, though.
 
Started creating my database of visited planets at work. Have 101 entries so far. :)
Going back through some of these entries is almsot as exciting as when I discovered them! I can't believe how many of these extreme-condition worlds are TFC. I'm really happy that my single-island Water World is a TFC as well, because I might get to live on it one day!

Aaaaand stream's up!
 
Playing ED Really makes me want a multi-monitor setup. I am a single-monitor peasant at present.

It's good fun having it. I was just watching and chatting with you in your stream. Had your travels on one monitor and mine on my main. It'd be good if you had the ability to talk to people while doing that kind of thing as well.

Like your hud colour scheme. ;)

Good chattin' with ya! I actually use a really cheap laptop that I salvaged from my job as a second monitor, haha. It's ghetto, but it works. Certainly safer than alt-tabbing to chat on the twitch page.
