Good luck Commander! Only just left Hilary myself yesterday. Things have been slow with a 16ly jump range...

I don't suppose you have the location of that gas giant?...
 
I don't suppose you have the location of that gas giant?...

I've got verbose logging on, so I could probably find it, though Captain's Log wasn't working for me. I was pretty picky about what I scanned.

Which gas giant? The one that looks like Jupiter, or the one in front of the Omega nebula?
 
Just two jumps left until I reach Thor's Eye. Would of got there last night but as I have not seen a BH before in the game - I know I am a terrible excuse for an explorer! I have decided to wait until tonight when the wife will be with me as she's really keen to see it too!

How nice! My wife refuses to watch the screen because it "makes her feel sick". I need to trade up!

In other news, I have, despite work commitments, managed to get back to Hillary finally. Now reversing course to catch up with the convoy. Catch you all soon!

The one with an ice ring. The Jupiter-like. I want an ice ring with good lighting for screenies, but that's less common than I thought!

A nice untagged earthlike world (no longer untagged!):

The same is true for a very picturesque ringed (ice rings!) ammonia world:

(System is Smojai II-K d8-18, in case someone wanna see it. I've turned in my exploration data so I don't mind sharing the name :D)

That's it for now, fly reckless commanders! o7
 
Got a ton more pictures to upload as I just docked. Also found several more ELWs and two cool lava worlds. One is going to be interesting since it's like Skardee I, with not one but TWO stars. Going to be a very HOT place to land at once lava worlds become available.

The last leg of my journey before I docked was a bit hectic with binary systems.

Very nice views Commander ;) Have fun and safe travels o7
 
Nice surprise event tonight at basecamp #2 : CMDR 2301 gathered a fleet, your humble self included, and organized a mini mass jump. Good job 2301 :)

Very diverse group, with anacondas, ASPs, a clipper, even two super friendly T7s ... and of course the beautiful Pacific Princess, my beloved Beluga.

Obviously, I played the best song ever all along.
