Heading back out!

I got a white DBS, will that do? I'll post a screenie this afternoon



Don't take a Courier - the 3A is so slow you can't even fill a standard tank before the ship overheats. No fun at all.
The DBS is better; it has the same 3A scoop but runs a lot cooler so doesn't overheat when scooping.
I've never flown the Asp Scout, I don't know anything about it.
Like others, I love the DBX. Point at the star, scoop and scan. Slow it down, take in the sights, the scoop speed isn't an issue
Bongo where's the white dbs :)
 
++UPDATE++

I'm out past 7Kly now.

Several water worlds, two ammonia, over a dozen living gas giants, and one ELW. Three neutron stars, one black hole, an O-type or two, and a partridge in a peartree (the last one I hallucinated after a breakfast of Onionhead and Orrerian Vicious Brew).

Had one incident where I clipped a star: My USB cable to my controller snagged on a table leg and popped from the handset- as I approached an F-type to scoop (of course). Damage was minor, and it's my only slip-up so far. It's been smooth sailing otherwise.

Und now, ze photos.

Spotted this cluster near the Omega nebula from 600 Ly away, headed in to investigate. Mostly with an O or two.

This water world is actually a moon. Cool.

Until next time, fly safe!

Still going strong!

Passing 11 Kly now. The area I'm in seems to be very Water World heavy, they're almost commonplace. Several ammonias as well, and a SPECTACULAR earthlike (see pics).

Had another "oopz", in a planet's ring (see pics again). Hull at 98%, I must endeavour to be more cautious as I took no FMU.

Slowdance, to a song unsung.

This water world is just 30 Ls from its parent star. Pipin' hot cuppa?

Ringed ammonia world. Oopz happened here: the gaps in the rings are NOT clear, repeat, NOT CLEAR.

One of my greatest finds ever. An earthlike with metallic rings, orbiting a gas giant with metallic rings. It's practically Endor.

On the surface was a single structure, where they sell old-timey Earth clothes and antique firearms. How odd.

So yeah, I ran into God out here. He says "Hi", and that he doesn't understand how we pulled off the "Whole FSD thing, it just shouldn't work".


Until next I update, fly your ship like you STOLE it.

I was gonna say you added a GTA screenshot by accident (by saying "The Rebels made some serious industrialization on Endor after Jedi, damn"), but then I read the caption.

I fly my ship like a stolen TARDIS. Clumsily but also stylishly.
 
My GTA character and my Elite: Dangerous Cmdr are the same dude. I mixed some unobtanium and Mega-Gin in with the H¹ fuel, and plotted a route to "Rock & Roll". Ended up in L.A...

(BTW this is where all the UFOs in GTA came from, they followed my FSD wake)
