A few days ago I hit the edge of the Galaxy, well, at least as far as my Asp, the Dark Voyager, will take me on this current vector. Distances between the stars were than my jump range. The edge is all very dark and desolate. While it has its own unique feel to it, it is a bit dull, there are so few stars out here that finding something unusual just by scrolling about in the Galaxy Map is just not going to happen. While I have happened upon water worlds, earth-likes and interesting gas giant systems out here too, my favourite type of system, "O-type surrounded by many smaller stars", is not to be found out here... not saying that the edge sucks, only that it feels very desolate, even more so than I thought it would.
So, Solwards I turn.. well.. not exactly, I have to go around a certain rift first. Then it will be Solwards. It is the beginning of what I expect to be a very desolate and unremarkable journey. But, then I happen upon the following three Astronomical Favourites in a matter of less than 10 jumps!
A Water World with almost no weather, but a huge Ice Cap!
An Earth-Like World with the "Archipellago" setting! (Anyone seen a "Pangea" like ELW?
)
And best of all... A Supernova Remnant!
To be fair, I did spot the Supernova Remnant on the Galaxy Map when plotting my route, but by then I was so close to it that it became visible to me one jump later..
As a nice bonus, they were all unclaimed.
Well played, Milky Way... Uneventful Journey Indeed!
