Which system did you want to meet in?

One of the star systems within or just outside of the Bubble Nebula. Will have better info as I get closer. I'm still 2700LY out.

Oke doke. I'm still heading back from the Lagoon, I'll swing by a populated system to repair and shower, then I'll head out

Ah man, 7000 LY in 6 hours isn't something I have time for today. Otherwise I'd come as well.

Edit: Screw it, I'm going to do my best to honk honk it over there.

I've been thinking about taking my Clipper on a trip, but I don't know, the low fuel capacity and short jump distance kinda makes me want to wait for FDEV to release a proper imperial exploration ship before doing that trip.

It's all about weight management. I've gotten my clipper up to 25.5LY range. Thing is, I can only make 3-4 jumps at those kinds of ranges due to the 16T tank. Make sure you plan your routes accordingly and avoid stopping at stars you can't refuel at (Star Classes: L, Y, TT, AeBe).

oualalal !

Awesome view !

I am just coming back from my third "short range" exploration trip (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=104433&p=1621422#post1621422).
Seeing your beautiful pictures make me want to go back and to pay a visit to some nice nebula I have seen from afar.

Well done Monsieur !

Ooh, I see you made it out to the West Veil. I love that place, sadly there are only a few good systems to take screenshots of it from. I'll have to go back out there some day.

An interesting find:

Seems theres another cluster of O- & B-class stars & black holes out there, similar to NGC 7822, except there isn't a nebula there.

I've made it to the bubble! Pictures added to the OP and to the album. Beautiful sector. Can't wait until my new friends get there.

[UPDATE] Currently on my way back from the bubble. I've added several new pictures to the Imgur album as well as this post. Another video is enroute, a bit more tranquil than the others.
