Based on the title you might be worried about me. Don't be. I'm already dead inside you cant do any more damage.

I've lately been getting into exploring and today I was hey lets do some light exploring by traveling all the way across the bubble Starting from Wangal to Deciat to engineer my fds and thrusters then to Hip 112829 to do some grind passenger missions then I went all the way to to the Oracle to do some sight seeing. All in my exploration Dolphin named <Flipper>. Don't worry I did get screenshots of some sick things so, worth it.
It started out ok I never got to engineer my fsd cause I got distracted and accidentally jettisoned my cargo in super cruise without my knowledge, so small bummer. Then I went all the way to Hip 112829 which is all the way across the bubble some 400ly journey. But with my exploration data I was able to sell it for about 1 mil. Note: I did not have a detailed discover scanner as I was just getting into some beginner explorations, beginner.
So after arriving at Hip for short, I was like hey lets do some passenger missions, however I decided it wasn't worth the time for the small payout and sold all my cabins and equipped my dolphin for explorations cause why not. Note I could have used my DBX but I was too lazy to wait those 5 minutes of transfer time. 14.37Ly jump range with max surface scanner. Buy a surface scanner they said. go exploring they said. It will be fun they said. Yeah fun..... definitely what I would call it. About 19-20 jumps later I realize I didn't attach a fuel scoop and don't have enough fuel to get to the nearest station. Lucky for me I found about about the fuel rats and hopped onto their site to request a rescue. Shout-out to Dystopia for coming to my rescue
Now I have set off on a 258.something light year journey to The Oracle to see sight see. And boy oh boy did I go sight seeing. Little did I know it would be the last thing I ever saw. I do have screenshots. Anyway I did visit a Thomas bulk cargo ship that had been attacked by them thoids. I did see a damaged escaped pod and decide it would be a good idea to rescue it, killed iiiiitttttt! Literally. I did visit Sanchez Scientific research vessel and took some more screenshots there too.
Okay on with the story I racked out about 4 mil halfway there and when I arrived I want to say I had about 10 maybe more mil. Unlucky for me the station while under repair did not have Universal Cartographics available So I decided to head back and rack up some more credits and redeem it at my home system. Now I hardly ever get into combat, only when necessary so too me I wasn't worried.
Soon after leaving The Oracle to head back to my home system, another 250LY away I saw a signal source and decided to check it out. Popped in saw a ship that had been wasted by a thargoid. Luckily for me the Thargoid(not sure what kind, probably a cyclops) was still there. Now Note: I have never seen or met a thargoid wanted to get a close up screenshot of one, and by close I mean up close and personalllllll baby. So I flew around to the front to get the shot of it's face in doing so I accidentally pressed shift and space boosted into its face. Yeah, it was not happy about that. So I ended up getting annihilated and losing my 10 mil(I'm not bitter). However I did a get a screenshot and some wicked cool footage.\
