Ahem. So uh, I did... thing. No CGs active... might as well begin a little jaunt out to from civilization over this past weekend. Plan was to hit the Ghost of Cassiopeia (LBN 623), onto the Bubble Nebula, and then hack my way to Rho Cassiopeia with FSD injections along the way. WELL. You know those little spitball planets that have raised drop altitudes? I mistimed an entry and ended up taking a bit of damage sitting ~35km nice and pretty from the surface. That was my first miscalculation. My second miscalculation was that I could afford to turn off my thrusters to power on my AFM and do some repairing while I glided gently down. You can probably guess what happened. By the time I realized the surface was coming into my peripheral vision a bit too quickly for my liking while focused intently on my internals panel, I couldn't turn my thrusters on fast enough. I was about 3500 ly from reaching Rho Cass.
I don't want to talk about what I ended up losing. Okay, I do - 1st finds galore, an embarrassing amount of 1st scans of terraformables, billions in exobio (not that the credits are material at this point). But below, you shall have the one fruit I managed to walk away with: memes! Yay!!!
P.S. the in-game screenshot function saving as bitmaps makes it really problematic to post them anywhere without doing format conversion voodoo. This inevitably causes some color gradients to go a bit out of whack so I hope it's not too noticeable.
