Greetings CMDRs!
After the memorable ship lineup and mass jump from Ross 310 I followed ed an 'economy' route below the galactic plane to Parrot Head Nebula, scanning most of the systems along the way. Once there, the Evening Star IV wanted to stretch its wings so I took her for a blast over the top crossing the Lagoon and Traikaae Nebulae, rushing back to the Destiny in Heaven's Lathe. Now relaxing and enjoying the haute cuisine on board the Carrier.
See you in the black!

******** Expedition Alert ***********
BD-14 5523 (Little Gem Nebula), is the scheduled WP 5.
A few caveats about this waypoint, it is at the end of a long Neutron Pipe and you will need High jump range and Neutron scooping skills to get there.
If you do not have high enough range OR do not feel confident in Neutron Scooping, you may ride along on the carriers which can make the jumps for you. However, keep in mind that this brings risk of stranding, and to leave you will have to be on the carrier.
If neither of these options appeals to you, you may skip this waypoint.
After discussing it with the distant screws crew, they have figured out how to potentially get there with various jump ranges and uses of neutrons and jumponium.

Again I apologize for not taking this into consideration.

Well it's Jump night here on the E4E and we are off to Waypoint 6: Nyeajaae IT-M C9-19 aka "Viridian Dreams"
we will be coming up from the bottom of the galactic disk and our route should stay relatively straightforward from now on as we head towards our final destination.
I want to thank all the commanders who were able to make it to Little Gem Nebula despite the navigational hazard to get there and a great big shout out to all the pilots that found the killer Tritium hotspots and fueled up the carriers. We wouldn't be making good time without our mining teams.
As normal, we will be making the jumps at 9pm Mountain Standard Time. This next run will be about 3000 light-years so about double the distance of previous runs up to this point. Next stop: "Viridian Dreams"
See you out there CMDRS o7
Greetings CMDRs!
I really enjoyed the unexpected navigational hazard to reach Little Gem Nebula!
Setting the route to get there required to actually study the stars and distances rather leaving the ED route plotter to do all the planning for you.
Once there, I took the challenge to dive further down as far as my Krait Phantom could be capable of and still bringing me back
Planning one star at the time and with use of jumponium I finally reached system CHALUIA XO-A D0.
From there, the stars in the area were too few and far away. Still a thrilling experience knowing that you must not make errors in planning with the risk to became stranded.
Now I am safe back onboard the Destiny, relaxing during the trip to Viridian Dreams - Thanks CMDR Exeider!
See you all in the black!

Expedition Update:
Destiny is preparing to jump to waypoint 12: Eoch Flyuae PY-R e4-684 (Clockwork Nebula), board now.
I'm going to try to get there quickly, so I wont be lollygagging. I'm in one of the areas effected by the US Arctic storm, so my power is at a premium, so I wont be hanging out online like I normally do. So board now please.

Darn, that is my ship's name >: ... since day 1st of carriers avail to buy
...I was going to visit that region too soon. That may take 1 week or so, so make sure you board proper ship.
question is, do you put "The" in front of it? Because I don't.Darn, that is my ship's name >: ... since day 1st of carriers avail to buy

No, just "Destiny". I saw in bubble same named couple weeks ago. Maybe it was yours.
According to Inara, there are 22 Destinies in service. But I can tell you that I got my FC like a week or two after they came out and have been using 'Destiny' ever since, so I'd like to say I was the first.
