Fleet Carrier [Emperor`s Grace] will go on exploration expedition to Banana nebula (NGC1399) next week. Everyone is welcome to join.

Raf von Thorn · Jul 18, 2020

I was thinking about going on a chill exploration trip for a while and I got inspired by this post. The plan is to leave next week (departure depends on people who want to join, if anyone

) and get to DROKOE IO-K C11-2 in 3-4 days, then make 500 jumps through the nebula once/twice a week. Plenty of time to safely explore around the FC position. FC will be outfitted with everything except the shipyard, black market or redemption office. Suggestions about the modules in the outfitting are welcome.
If you want to take a break from the bubble for some time and boost your exploration rank, this is it.

Oooh, banana nebula!
Is that new or has it been in the game for a while?

Raf von Thorn · Jul 19, 2020

Its been there for million of years, I believe

. "Banana nebula" is a nickname for NGC1399 nebula

NGC 3199

NGC 1399 is another galaxy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_1399 ... with those kinds of navigation skills I must wish you good luck!

Handily your target system is near to NGC 3199 - maybe you can visit that instead

Banana - that is a very fun word to say.

My Carrier has been out in this area for over a month, Hundreds of Lagrange clouds out her.
Also Found two un-discovered Guardians Ruins Systems out here.
My Carrier is VR Baby, Stop by

on your way out you may want to stop at Thaile HW-V E2-7 it has electric Lagrange clouds that are amazing.
the system has a Neutron star on entry so drop your carrier at the second star or it will be a long distance to the clouds.
its a beautiful blue system well worth the stop

Raf von Thorn · Jul 20, 2020

Thanks, Rocket! I will definitely check Thaile out. Im taking some newer players with me, it will blow their mind! We should be in the nebula on saturday/sunday, will find you. Need me to bring you anything? Lavian Brandy?

My FC`s is filled with exploration/mining modules, maybe you need something?

Hi Red. If you'd care to join our mapping efforts, get onto the reddit. We're also talking about having some meet-ups to mess around in SRV's etc. Let us know your ingame CMDR name and I'll add you ;-)
