I appear to have been suffering from a bout of space madness.
Packed my bags and moved to Witch Head, transferred half my ships there.
New office, open for business: Witch Head Logistics Ltd.
Still keeping a small office open at Ray Gateway for Rescue and mining operations (Three T-9s and a Conda, cheap rates, distance no problem).

Last night I blew 200,000,000 credits outfitting a type10 and a Krait Phantom ready for AX missions with AX multicannons, dragged them to Crusty Farseer for G3 dirty drives and G5 FSDs (I can now get almost 290 in boost from the T10!!!), Bolg for Meta alloy HRPs and cargo racks and now on my way to Elvampire Martuuk for further engineering to shields etc before I park them somewhere in the Seven Sisters where I shall learn how to grind 'Goid scouts. Then I'll be off in the trusty Challenger on the Guardian grind to enable the more potent aliens to kick my but while unlocking further engineers as I go. Yes I know I'm a long way behind with engineering, but the fanfic of my exploits is now up to 78,000 words and sucking up more and more of my time....
Had more than the usual amount of HGE as I travelled. Pausing to FSS every system seems to yield them quite often. Trouble is, they are likely to be a few kls distant with less than 5 mins on the clock. Made one with two seconds to spare last night and now I know how 007 feels when he snips the right wire moments before the bomb goes off. Pleasantly surprised to find that the mats persisted long after the timer reached zero. I'd always thought that when the countdown expired so did the mats.

I finally made King in the Empire rank. A little while later I tried landing at a platform and docking access was denied whilst I had to wait for various peasants to do their grubby business.
Being King is not all it’s cracked up to be.
Back in my Dolphin now, out for an explore for four weeks.

I've been indulging in some minor faction work in a small backwater of the Empire. I know I said this before, but I am really glad I moved to Empire space, it just feels so "jolly pleasant". Everyone is so well dressed, and terribly well-spoken. There was a much larger population centre I visited whilst doing some delivery work, and the gentleman on Imperial Flight Operations sounded as though he was sat bolt-upright, wearing a dinner-jacket with a bow-tie on, behind a desk somewhere.Possibly with a large hexagonal microphone in front of him.
That's more like it. Proper order. Proper order, I tell you. <taps finger on desk pointedly>
I also conducted my first planetary raid, to get data from an installation. I was rather nervous about it, as I only saw the "Elite" rank recommendation after clicking "accept". But, as it turned out, it was actually very easy to get in there, knock out the skimmers and defense turret, and complete the scan. +++++ Rep and +++++ Inf in one go, along with a cool 1.2 million in the bank. I might do more of those!
The thing with the Empire is that they feel a bit... oily. While you're on the up and up, they can be obsequious to a fault but, cross them and they'll stab you in the back and stuff you in pain amplifier then jump up and down with hysterical glee as your eyeballs melt.
Perhaps I'm just being galactic superpowerist.

Do you have a preference between the 3?
How strange, that's how us Welsh view our English oppressors....

I heard something once but I'm unsure of its authenticity. It goes along the lines that: Due to constant invasion and the pushing of population generally west, it has resulted in the fact that the only true Englishman is Welsh.
Mwahahaha*
* Please don't take that seriously. I have Welsh in the blood anyway. And have you seen "Twin Town"? One of my fave films.
Whereas the Federation if you upset them will frame you for unspeakable crimes and then arrange for some accident to happen to you whilst on your way to a penal colony or set things up so your best friend shoots you because you appear to have sold out.
The bubble is a difficult place in which to place trust.
Trust no one. Cue the X-Files theme.

The land mass directly beneath my ship in the second picture looks a little bit like an elephant to me.
Yeah,but,no butt.From other threads, I think that should be "Butt where is the elephant leather".... @Old Duck
Cool photo! (pun not intended)
Regarding the temperature measurement in Elite (I don¨t know if your question was real or a joke. :x )
It's a relative heat load - Your ship doesn't measure the absolute temperature. The heat gauge on the left of your scanner is instead showing the load on your radiators.
That means 0% is simply a state where your ship does not radiate heat (i.e. the modules don't heat up)
100% means that the radiators work at their maximum capacity and cannot dissipate any more heat per unit of time (i.e. your modules are at their max temperature your ship can safely handle - if you add more heat load, it'll start overheating)
How do the alliance treat their malefactors,i wonder? I mean obviously something goes boom, but do they have their own variation on retribution?
Sentence them to a caravan park on Endor.
