Goodbye Beagle Point ... Hello Sagittarius A*

Wow, #17 out of 1000+.

Did you have any idea back then of what you've achieved now?
Or was that always the plan?

Back then I knew ELWs were special, but I had no clue how to actually hunt for them..if I stumbled upon a blue planet I scanned and crossed my fingers...lol. I still remember that trip, I didn't even know about the forum here, had only the most basic of ideas as to what I was doing....E rated PP...heavy shields...extra fuel tanks...weapons...huge AFMU and tiny fuel scoop..and barely enough cash to cover a rebuy. I had absolutely no clue what to expect. It's a miracle I made it back.
 
Managed to meet up with CMDR Felix Macedonica a few KLYs East of Beagle Point (Puwhoi UY-S d3-5)

I must say it's very strange seeing another CMDR out in the black ... that now makes only two CMDRs seen in the past 7 months.

Anyway, here's a few selfies ...


One thing I noticed was that the Asp paintwork seemed to be *so* much worse than the Type6 ???

Ah, aint love bliss!

Just found an (undiscovered) ELW on the DWE route ... :D

That's ELW #24 for me ...
 
I set off the other way, from the bubble to Beagle Point...

....Iv planned for a couple of months now that if 2.3 didn't turn up anything interesting & FD continued to move the story lines along at a snail's pace, that I would make a return trip to Beagle Point.

Fed up with waiting for FD to flick the switches (been there before with Jaques) & introduce something to the game other than '...best is yet to come...' statements, so yesterday set off back to BP.

Hopefully I'll be back in 6 months or so, when the lore of the bubble is much improved - though may have to plan more trips!
 
Phew, less that 50KLY back to Sol now ... slowly nibbling away.

Another new ELW ...

I think I'm gonna skip basecamp #12 and head straight to SagA, then the Great Annihilator, then Colonia.
