Exploration is a journey, not just a destination

[Mike W]

After a journey up the trading ladder, T9 trading up until around 200m total assets,, i finally got hold of a Python, i combat specced it and loved it, then i decided to take it for a little spin, 1000Ly out as a first trip just to get a feel for exploring, it had a 17Ly jump range, huge 0.75 scoop, Maxed shields, shield boosters, doubled fuel tank capacity, apart from the less than ideal for exploring jump range it was an awesome ship, loved the trip, from about 800+Ly out started to find lots of unvisited systems, turned back at the 1000Ly,, and made around 1.5m from the data, so thought Hmmm,, need more range,, so keeping the Python, bought an Explorer spec Asp 35+ jump range, but i never even took it out of the system lol,, each to their own here,, but it felt so crammped, hammock slung on the lower flight deck as one Cmdr put it,, so having the exploring itch now, and wanting more range, sold both the Python and Asp, and bought the wallet draining Conda,, you can squeeze 40+Ly outta these things,, but mines at 34,, i`ve fitted better shields, biggest fuel scoop and doubled the fuel tank cap amongst other things,, but all i`ve do since buying this thing a few weeks ago is polish it on the driveway, because if you put your foot down in these things, for only a few seconds, you quickly lose the sat TV signal from Earth, and with the Wimbledon, the British F1, and Tour De France starting last weekend, trip is postponed a few weeks lol
