This is my first official expedition and the first time I’ve explored as a group. In fact I think it’s true to say this is actually the first time I’ve genuinely explored and as a result I’m learning far more than I ever have about our galaxy and some of the things we can find in it....as well as our in game galaxy ( he says thinking specifically about little space critters
)
Prior to this my exploration was pretty much confined to collecting scans of ELW, WW ....., well, you know the kind of thing. However, with a combination of the FSS slowing me down and enabling me to get so much information; the chatter of Sqd Comms giving ready advice, encouragement and camaraderie as well as the wealth of shared information, stories and discoveries within the DW2 sub forum I’m finally looking for more than just the high paying bodies that was previously not just my only focus but also my only real understanding.
My collections have continued, finally finding my first Ammonia Worlds, my first black hole and Wolf Rayet and I’m glad of that but I’m also beginning to understand and enjoy the search for the unusual and easily overlooked. I’m on a personal mission to find the smallest landable body I can, tracking down O type stars in the hope of finding more black holes within those systems and searching for planets with ridiculously quick orbits.
I’m by no means an Explorer yet but this trip is really giving me the buzz, interest and understanding to start making the most of the tools we have and the Galaxy we can use them in.
So, without being too cheesy, a big thanks to the organisers but also to all the Cmdrs I’ve chatted to in Comms, bashed SRVs with and simply watched as their markers move around the GalMap. You’ve helped bring the game to life and enhance my knowledge and interest in the small details as well as the more obvious ones.
Looking forward to the rest of the trip....and if you see or hear from Cmdr Lig Lury Jr on your travels, flash your lights or say hi in system chat or DW2 Comms.
