[Expedition] The Outer Rim Station Tour

I have been trying to get my SRV on top of the big research building at Mic Turner Base. First I tried jumping from the radio array. I got very close to the top, bouncing off the ridge on top of one of the big vents.

I thought landing on top would be a cop out, but better than nothing. But the ship's computer doesn't recognise this as a landing so I couldn't deploy my scarab.

I found my way up on to the tallest nearby building and jumped onto one of the pressurised tanks, under the big two. But I couldn't get enough height to go from there to the one next to the eight.

I've been sent to prison twice since Wednesday, but not for this.

And Episode 4 is here now:

Hahaha! I like that you caught that moment where I was having fun keeping my type-6 in the small circular hole of the station... then bump the Great A'tuin right on the nameplate. :)

Ohhh, and that mass jump when you were just after everyone, beautiful!


Good show on ep 4!

And the tour is done, much fun was had... Even had some formation flying as a last meetup. A surprisingly symmetrical V-wing!

I've also asked the commanders on the expedition to share what they feel is their best picture of the whole expedition. Mine was shown earlier, a triple sunrise over ELW near the rosette nebula...

The Last Jump

So, here we are at the last jump in the T Tauri system...



...and from the side...



...and now to bed. I start the long journey home tomorrow, but meanwhile I have a landing spot with a lovely view... Goodnight all!

Favorite Shot of the Tour

Forgive the repost, but I think this is my favorite -

Approaching Sagan Research Centre - "Adrift in a Colourful Void".



...but if I absolutely positively have to choose another one, it'd be this: *

The Flaming Star Nebula from a nearby system.



*Note:That is, until I find a better one in my collection that i've missed! :D

My photo journal of the expedition is complete. The resolution of the photos improves in the fifth one.
1: 98 K Tauri to the Witch Head
2: Witch Head to Orion Nebula
3: Orion Nebula to Thor's Helmet
4: Orion Nebula to Seagull Nebula
5: Seagull Nebula to Rosette
6: Rosette Nebula to Crab Nebula
7: Crab Nebula to Jellyfish Nebula
8: Jellyfish Nebula to Flaming Star
9: Flaming Star to NGC 1333
10: NGC 1333 to California Nebula
11: California to Hind Nebula
It's really hard to pick a favourite photo. I think my favourite views were as we passed close to Barnard's Loop, with so many distinctive nebulae visible.

But that was before I stopped using steam for my screenshots. Probably the best shot I took was the very last one. I was returning to the tourist beacon in T Tauri to wait for the late meetup - which I missed.
