[DISTANT WORLDS] Nearly self-destructed, but made it...

Story after piccy.

Cmdr Erimus : you are quite correct, it is really eerie sitting here looking back at SOL on my own(see piccy, with ED eerie music in the background). Thank you very much for your vision and hard work(and Dr. Kaii and others too) :cool:
p.s. my co-ordinates are spot on too :)

So I manage to leave with you all on the start of DW, mid January, and up to WP6 all was dandy. I then had to go do a 2 month contract and fell way behind you guys.
When I got back, mid April, I started to do DW on my own and quickly found it very lonely ! I trundled along to WP11, then to SAG A*, then had to go away again :(
I got back in to the game on the first week of May, realised I had 50500 LYs still to do(as I wanted to do all waypoints) and also that Engineers Beta was here, and decided to self-destruct when Engineers goes live as I just didn't have the will or time to do over 50000 LYs !

Well I am glad I didn't, and I am glad I did Engineers Beta for a few days. On the 13th of May I decided to give it a go as I had a week totally free as I had no work booked, no commitments, no GF as she was working (we don't live together, 45 miles apart). Just as well we don't live together yet because my motorbike lives in my front room(secure, warm and not damp :D ) .

I didn't open a single system map and speeded my way through all the waypoints in 5 sessions from 13th May to 19th May.
I will now reside at Beagle Point till Jaques station gets here.
If you want to meet in Open or Kamzel on BP, just let me know, or friend me in game(Cmdr dognosh) and message me :)

Proof :)

Welcome to Beagle Dognosh :D
Im still here waiting for Jaques as well, and so is Olivia Vespera, we should have an SRV race or something :D
 
Hi commander, I am also at BP awaiting the arrival of Jaques station. I seem to remember you are already in my friends list from way
back but will check next time I'm in game.

I often sit in open looking out for other explorers but have only seen one so far. I wasn't part
of DW as I was already out in the black heading for BP but took the other side of the galaxy route.

Good to hear of the bikes current living arrangements, more info on that would be appreciated.

Thanks all,yes lets meet in Open at Darwin's Legacy :) (or in Kamzel group)

Erimus : you're on , I can come back there, as when I log off ED I always park in space 1000 Ls from nearest body (remember the olden days when we had many cmdrs exploding on logging in when parking near a planet or star ? :) )

Freak me. Few days ago you were a WP behind. I just knocked of the 1st kylie between wp 22 and BP this morning and you already arrived!

He was about 8000LY away from BP when I spoke with him last night...a marathon effort!

Well done, CMDR dognosh! I hope to reach you in a couple of days as I am now only 8000 lys from Beagle Point! You have inspired me to push on.

Congrats Dognosh, nice commitment to keep it going.

Iv been back in the bubble now for 2 weeks & I must say that the journey home was weird.

I missed all the WP meetups & time schedules between these points during the return trip. I can't recall meeting anyone on the route back. The trip home is a truely lonely one!

However, after going all that way in excess of probably 75-80K LYs to get to Beagle then around 73K to get back, my perception of the galaxy now is that it's not really all that big.
Even as i passed Sag A* on the return, my thoughts were - only 20K to go, nearly home.....only 10K to go, I'll be back tomorrow.....

Im currently booked on the CNE trip which starts in a couple weeks, but to me it's now just like jumping across 2 or 3 systems.

Don't know if it's just me, but the scale of the galaxy has shrunk!
